ed by Gen. Aaron Barney of Guilford,
one of the original petitioners of Column

WORK.

Thank God every morning when you
get up that you have something to do
that day which must be done, whether
you like 1t or not. Being forced to work
and forced to do your best will breed in
you temperance and self control,
diligence and strength of will, cheerful
ness and content ana hundred virtues
which the idle never know, --[Charles
Kingsley.

lie Informed me that a member of his
lodge had a silver tobacco box that was
taken from Col. Cummingss clothing
after he had died on the battlefield and
that he desired to restore it to his fam
ily Some little time after my return
home | received letter from this broth
err, and, in short, the result was l had
the pleasure of securing its restoration
into the hands of the son of our de-
ceased brother. These two incidents
which | have related simply illustrate
hundreds of others of a similar charac-
ter which took place during that more
than four years of cruel warfare.
And now, my dear brethren, II the
teachings of Masonry can and do
prompt to the performance of such acts
of brotherly kindness in times of bitter
strife and relentless war, how much
greater and nobler deeds of brotherly
love and charity for all may we not ex-
poet from ach other in times of profound
peace?
Brethren, let us resolve anew to be
and remain true and steadfast to the
principles we profess, and which Mason
rv inculcates by precept example, and
through its speechless emblems, that the
world at large may exclaim, Behold how
those Masons love one another"
When the applause had subsidized at the
close of Col Haskinss address Wor-
shipful Master Daniels introduced Grand
Master Ballou, who spoke very effective
ly on the significance of the occasion.
He closed by presenting j. A. Taylor, on
behalf of Columbian lodge, with large
bouquet of roses. Mr.. Taylor is the old
est member of the lodge in point of con-
tinuous membership, and has served
faithfully as tyler many years Mr..
Taylor was roundly applauded as he
arose. The presentation was a complete
and very happy surprise to him and al
though visibly affected by it he made a
brief response.
Henry II. Ross of Burlington, grand
secretary of the grand lodge, was then
introduced. His subject was ''Freema-
sonry, theoretical and practical" Mr.
Ross is always an effective speaker, and
at this time he gave the Free Masons
strong, virile, inspiring parchment. His
address was of such a nature that it
cannot well be reported outside of the
lodge room but it was a ringing call to
lofty ideals and to larger and more gem
erous service.

Is the fifteenth the fatal day of
the month?
A man in New York, old now
and of many experiences in
communication to the New York
Tribune asserts that the great
tragedies which have moved man
kind to sorrow occurred on the
fifteenth day of the month, The
greatest of all tragedies of his
time he regards as the assassl-
nation of President Lincoln, on
the 18th cay of April, the same
month of the year and the same
day of the month in which occur
red the appalling disaster of the
Titanic. The death of Lincoln,
he says is burned in his memory.
The fall of this one man, he de-
clares, ment more then to the
country than the great tragedy
of the loss of the Titanic.
The Maine was blown up on
the 18th of February, which
made that date a mark to one OF
the great historical events of
United States history. The ter
rible disaster involved in the
burning up of the excursion ship,
the Slocum, in New York occur
red on June Is. The appalling
loss of life was sufficient to class
it with the loss of the Titantic,
or the blowing up of the Maine.
Again, he points out an other
great sea disaster was registered
on April IS. when the steamer
Elbe went down with an APPALLING
loss of life 10 1896.
The list is interesting, as il is
made out by one man who be-
lieves thae the 18th of the month
is the fatal day of the month. -

Bonding for 81, 900, 900, and re-
ducing tax rate 1871 cents may
seem Inconsistent, but it has
been done in Dallas county,
Texas. In six years that county
has issued one million dollars in
bonds for good roads, and the in
crease of land values and i'm
provements that naturally follow
good roads has caused the tax
rate to be lowered 1917 cents.

Business Mans Ten Commandments.
Rule 1. GIVE me more than I
expect and I'll pay you more
than you expect. l can afford to
increase your pay if youincrease
my profits.
Rule. II. Watch your work,
not the clock. A long days work
makes long day short, and a
short days work makes my face
long.
Rule III. Don't lie--It wastes
my time and yours. It's sure to
catch you in the end and that's
the wrong end.
Rule Nv. You owe so much to
yourself that you can't afford to
owe any body else. Keep out of
debt or keep out of my shop.
Rule ". Dishonesty is never
an accident. Good men, like good
women, can't see temptation
when they meet it.
Rule vi. Mind your own
business and in time you'll have
business of your own to mind.
Rule VII Don't do any thing
which hurts your self-respect.
The employee who is wiling to
steal for me is also capable of
stealing from me.
Rule VIII. 1t is none of my
business what you do at night.
But if dissipation effects what
you do the next day and you do
half as much as / demand, you'll
last half as long as you hope.
Rule TX. Don't tell me what
I'd like to hear, but what l Dug hit
to hear. ! don't want Wallet to
my vanity, but / need one for my
dollars.
Rule x. Don't kick if l kick
if yon are worth while correcting
you are worth while keeping.

Last Friday throughout the
Southern States, men and women
whose hearts beat in sympathy
for those brave soldiers and sail
ors who cheerfully laid down
their lives in the great struggle
which convulsed the country
during the stirring days of the
'6Os laid their floral tributes on
the graves of those who fell while
fighting. 1t is indeed fitting that
Memorial day should be observ-
ed in the Southland, for the debt
we owe to the gallant defenders
of our home and liberties can
never be paid in full.

Extend the warm and potent
thought of brotherhood to all be-
ing.
The cloudiest night has hint
of the light somewhere in the
shadows hiding.
1t is by slow thorough processe
that we reach the Elysian fields
of our tondest dreams.
Though the way may be dark
as night, take courage. fling de-
spair behind you, have but one
absorbing purpose in sight.
After summer showers-as af-
ter human tears-look how every
flower is jeweled with sparkling
gems, and hope takes the hand
for a dance.
Perhaps in the fierce light of
the worlds oppinion we suffer,
but in the solitude of our natures
we find comfort after our own
liberty no man can rob us of.
To-day, tomorrow and all the
DAYS allotted to our brief span in
this world, should be filed with
faith, trust and fidelity to every
obligation assumed, for good or
i'll.
1t is pure, universal, unselfsh
and notwithstanding obligations
of existence that quicken the
spirit from its very core, setting
all the atoms vibrant with melo-
dies of Celestial choirs.
Blessed is he who can feel
those in rapport and sympathy
with his aspirations, his heart
and his soul, as keenly and really
as he feels the air with his body
or hears the strains of sweet
music with his ears.

SOlidfled Gasoline For Automobiles.

According to reports sent by
the United States consul at Birm-
ingham, England, a chemist OF
that city has invented a process
for converting gasoline into a
a stiff white jelly in which condi-
ton it can be used for fuel for
automobiles. The conversion
is effected by adding IA per
cent of soapstone and alchol.
A block or cube of solidifed
gasoline when being vaporized
either IN hot pipe or in the ordi-
nary way, does not cause lique-
faction of the mass. the heat sim:
ply causing a slow formation of
vapor which is consumed in the
engine.

BRITISH STRIKE
Mine Proprietors Accept Wage
Bill While Strikers Agree to
Vote on Question.

LONDON. March c7.-The British coai
owners after a prolonged meeting this
afternoon, resolved to accept the Mini
mum Wage bill. This means that all the
mines will be opened to the men as soon
as they desire to return to work.
Previous to this decision by the own
ers the leaders Of the miners unions
had agreed to put the question OF ac-
ceptance Of the bill by the mine work.
crs to a referendum vote Of the unions.
The Miners Federation at a meeting
this afternoon decided that the ballot
papers must be returned not later than
April I. when the Federation will re-
assemble at Manchester to count the
votes and decide on It's future action.
The feeling of the miners leaders as
to the probable result of the ballot fol-
lows largely their attitude throughout
the negotiations. Those of the feder-
ated area anticipate the acceptance Of
the Wage bill by the miners while those
from South Wales and Scotland ex-
pect a strong majority against 1t In
