"a Medicine Of Real Merit"
SAYS CIVIL VETERAN PAST YEARS

MIR. Phillip A. Barrett could not enjoy his meals

AUSTRALIANS WILD DOG.

OF their work and who spare no pains
and avoid no hardships in a constant

Though the dingo is met with from time

traiian bush, his principal habitat is the
rough range country in the center and
north of New South Wales and the deep,
dark scruts of Queensland.
The dog trapper's life is of the lone

he camps in the desolate ranges. setting
his traps and watching with ready rifle in
the moonlit nights for chance shot at
his enemy. In the bush there is a price
on the head of every dingo. In some
parts dingo is worth $40 or even Els

This Is made UP by sums contributed
among the sheepbreeders and allowed by
the district councils, so generally recog-

such handsome emoluments to encourage
him, the professional dog trapper is not
easily daunted, and his patience and

he may get as many as three or four

CHINESE VIEW OF LOVE.
Marriage a Business of the Head
Not an Affair Of the Hear.

Ng Poon Chew. in the Chinese Annual
Perhaps there is no greater difference
existing between the Chinese and the
American people than that between their
ideas Of love. In fact, we Chinese do not
believe in love, for we are not sickIy.
sentimental creatures, but cold philosoph-
ical, fatalistic beings We arrange our
matrimonial affairs through hard reason
ing and not through the tender passion.
To US marriage is a serious business
of the head, and not light affair of the
heart. In these matrimonial transactions
We apply the most rigid. keen, calculating
business principles, and that is why we
are SO successful in the marriage enter
PRISE: as we have never been buncoed by
Cupid at the game of love.
We never pay homage at the altar Of
this stupid, brainless, yellow kid, the dis
turber OF peace, the breaker of hearts,
the destroyer Of homes and the promoter
of affinity stock companies. We cannot
tolerate his presence in China, as China
is not a land of lovers. Consequently
the cool. quiet hours Of our midsummer
nights are not disturbed or spoiled by hot
air from the wooing and cooling Of senti-
mental creatures.
We do not believe In love, for love is
not the greatest thing in the world. It
is not even thing nor substance 1t is
simply the product Of an idle brain. the
constant and unsubstantial, for its guam
titative and qualitative character changes
with the changes Of scenery and environ
ment, and its drawing and binding power
increases or decreases as the square of
the distance between subject and object
increases or decreases, as the case may
be.
Love is the anthithesis of reason, for
man sees with reason and only feels
with love, and it is the most violent form
Of brainstorm. Love Is a symptom Of a
disordered brain. nightmare is a
symptom Of q disordered stomach. 1t Is
a deadly contagious disease. for it turns
the strongest head and makes the wisest
man fool. Indeed, there is no fool like
an old fool who is affected with amoritis.
When a man has contracted this love dis
ease and is under its influence he acts
in the most idiotic manner and performs
all sorts OF antics all Of which he entire
ly renounces and repudiates when he Is
free from its hypnotic spell.
Now are we peculiar because we do
not agree with you in regard to the idea
of love? But alas! the world Is changing,
and China is changing with 1t: the old
time proven ideas are fast giving way to
the new, and our young people are being
converted to the worship Of the blind gou.
and from now on there will likely be
more love in our courtships and divorces
in our matrimony.

Dwarfing all other Masonic events Of

NO subordinate blue lodge will hold a

les. and it's past masters. who are mem
pers during their continuance in the or
der. AS rule, no business other than
that of the selection and installation Of
officers Is transacted, the chief business
having all been considered and acted upon
at the communication last Wednesday
evening, known as the annual meeting"
In his annual address last Wednesday
evening Grand Master ]. Claude KEEPER
paid a tribute to the Masonic and East
ern star Home, for whose partia! benefit
given In the spring under the joint aus
pices of the Grand Lodge, +. A. A, M.
of the District Of Columbia, and the
Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern
Star. which is said to strongly appeal
to the fraternity in the District. The
grand master said:
so far as I know there is no form of
beneficence that appeals more strongly to
our fraternity than does the work Of the
Masonic and Eastern Star Home and the
high place which this institution holds in
our regard Is fully justified by what it
has done and Is doing. That we are not
alone in this feeling is amply proved by
all showing that our fraternity is giving
enthusiastic and substantial support to
similar homes in many grand jurisdic-
lions.
1.-The splendid work done in this field
by the Order OF the Eastern Star In our
own jurisdiction demands and receives
our hearty approval and Is limited only
by the restrictions which are Imposed by
its present lack Of additional accommo-
dati0ns. That these are greatly needed
Is q well recognized fact, and It n hoped
that the measures now being taken to
provide the needed funds for the compile
ton Of the home will meet with all pos
and the generous hopes OF its devoted
founders thus realised. the extent Of it's
usefulness will be enlarged and its ef.
fciency In caring for the aged and needy
be greatly augmented"
