time. 1t is stated that Mr.. Ridgely
verbally stipulated that the chair
should never go out Of an Odd Eel
lows family.
1t is not unlike many of the chairs
used in the smaller Odd Fellows lodges
at the present day. The wood is old
English oak. The chair is in an ex-
cellent state of preservation and even
the covering of the upholstering is in
q fair condition. There is brocaded
velvet back and arms with crimson
velvet seat The wood itself is mas
siye and with little or no carving.
At the house in Brockton the chair
has been seen by very many visitors,
and as the photograph shows, there
is a card at the front of the chair
stating briefly it's history. There is
tradition that the chair was brought
from England to Baltimore by Thorn,
as Wildey in 1926, when Wildey VS.
tied England in order to obtain all
the information possible from the OIL
GERS and members of the Manchester
Unity that might in any way be use
ful TO the order in this country.
If that is true, this was six years
after the order was first started by
Wildey in Baltimore. There Is no
question but that it was used in Bal
t;more both by Wildey and Ridgely,
both of whom have monuments IN
baltimore commemorative their work
for the order.
Wildey was born in London, Jan. 10.
1892. He was the first noble grand OF

Montreal.-The Laurier govern

By a veritable political landslide
e Liberal majority Of 43 was swept
way and the Conservative party
cured one of the heaviest MAORI
IS, upward of so, that any Cana
an party has ever had. Seven

tn Premier Laurier were among
defeated candidates.
The Liberals lost ground in
radically every province Of the
dominion. Where they won their
majorities were small Where the
Conservatives won their majorities
were tremendous Ontario, the
leading province of Canada, declared
almost unanimously against the adj
ministration and reciprocity.
Robert L. Borden, leader Of the
Conservative party. will shortly be-
come the prime minister of Canada.
He will be supported in Parliament
by working majority of members
far more than ample for his pur-
poses.

that the Fielding-Knox reciprocity
agreement, ratified by the American
Congress in extra session, will not be
introduced when the Twelfth Par
assemblies next month and
that a revised basis of trade with the
United States, looking to closer COM
mercial relations, will not be pos
sible in the immediate future. The
Conservatives are committed to a
policy of trade expansion within the
empire and a closed door against the
United States.

Liberal party also means the retire

Delicious Way to Cook Peas.

Wash outside leaves of a lettuce,
and place them, dripping with water,
In the bottom of a granite kettle. Put
shelled peas on top or lettuce leaves,
and sprinkle with teaspoonful of
sugar. Cover closely and allow to
simmer until done, which will be in
q very few minutes if peas are fresh.
When cooked add salt. butter and pep
per. If any water must be added, let
1t be only tablespoonful. When
cooking vegetables in this way, turn
cover of kettle upside down and fiji it
with cold water, changing to more
cold water when it becomes steamy
hot This will keep the contents of
the kettle moist, and free from water
when done, and much more delicious
than when cooked in water.
