new MASONIC PLAN
OF lnstructing Boys Has
Been Launched.
(National News Associa,fonD

Spokane, Wash. June 19-Mem.
bers of the Masonic order throughout
the northwest today are discussing the
suggestion by jeremiah Neterer of
Bellingham, in his annual address as
grand master at the 54th session OF
the grand lodge of Washington in
Spokane, that each attract the confid-
ence of boy and direct him into ways
Of right. II is expected that most of
the us lodges in the state, with
Is. 500 members enrolled. will adopt
the plan before the year is ended.
II believe that IL such a movement
were launched by the Masons in this
Jurisdiction" Judge Neterer said. "in.
tense would be the interest and great
would be the result and pleasure in
much constructive work in real char
acter building.
There exists a necessity for whole
some influence and fraternal co-opera-
ton in behalf of boys. The course Of
at home and by the public should be
changed. Worthy examples should
be presented and wholesome senti.
ment created. You can initiate a
plan which will properly direct and
conserve the energy and ambition of
the boy.
1.-THE highest authorities are agreed
that nothing in the world so shapes a
boys soul and character as quiet
talks with grown men about things
they live for and amidst. In this way
the boy ia aroused to think and do the
very best there Is in him.
MAKE a companion Of some boy; be
a big brother to him and have him
visit you: 20 to his home after the
labor OF the day has closed and show
him he is a part OF the world and that
some one Is interested in his welfare:
direct his mind in a wholesome course
place designs for his improvement
upon the trestle board of life. and thus
bring his acts within the extended
points of the compass and yourself
nearer the throne of the eternal God"

The "Esr Of Oionysius."

A cunningly constructed prison cav
ern. consisting Of large cha mher con
nected With one OF smaller dimensions
situated near Syracuse. Italy. has gone
into legendary history with the title OF
the Ear Of Dionysius." The smaller
chamber was unknown to the prisoners
kept In this underground dungeon. and
the tyrant by whose name II Is known
had a habit OF secretins himself there
to listen to the conversation OF The con
victs. who were mostly political offend
ers. An ingenious device constructed at
the smaller end Of the larger cha mber
transmitted the sounds through the
partition. thus enabling the suspicious
ruler to hear even the whispered con
versasicrs Of his ''suspects."

er and the ironmaster was read, which
caused great hilarity in court.
Since then La Belle Chiquita" has
had other romantic adventures. Sew
eral black-coated men entered her
dwelling a few days ago and carried
off her husband. The dancer herself
tells how she came to marry. Two
years ago young man fell madly in
love with her. She gave him no en-
couragement, but he threatened to do
something desperate if she sent him
away. Her heart was softened, and
she and the young man became good
friends. Last summer the young man
fell into bad health, and was sent to
Switzerland. whence he wrote that he
was kept prisoner in a miserable
inn. La Belle Chiquita" went to his
aid She found him installed in lux
urious quarters.
The couple went to Evian, where. at
his request, she went through form
of marriage with him. The marriage
was not valid. A few months later the
young man went to America to seek
his fortune. The dancer Joined him
her intention being to make a living
by teaching languages. In March of
this year, the marriage took place at
Boston in accordance with American
law The dancer, however. resided in
| New York. She received letter from
her husband informing her that two
of his cousins who lived at Boston
were illusing him and keeping him
shut up. The dancer found that there
was no truth in this story.
The couple now decided to return
to France. During the voyage the hus
| band became i'll of influenza, and had
been attended by doctors since his ar
rival in Paris. His father, becoming
anxious about his health sent an uncle
to visit him. The day following this
visit to the husband wrote to his par
ents to the effect that he was kept a
prisoner, and asking them to come te
his help. The invitation was accept
ed, and two days ago detectives re
moved the young man in an ambu
lance.
1t is not stated that the parents in
tend to take action to annul the mar
riage. 1t may be, therefore, that la
Belle Chiquita" will figure in anothe
action. which like the former, will no
lack piquant details.

that she was deeply wronged and un-
