that the defendant ought to have
collected the money and was bound
by the constitution and laws of the
order to do so is not sufficient.
The question is. has the defendant
in fact collected any money for
either of these funds which it has
mot paid over: All the money
raised was for the beneficiary fund,
and the fact that money could, be
taken from that fund to pay the
amount due the fraternal aid does
not prove that it was raised for the

The amount claimed for the frat

There were other claims which

the green leaves appeared and actual
ly grew true his delight was I'M
bounded.
One Of the hardest things he had
to do was to remember the various
vegetables. He had hit upon an IN
geniOus method of overcoming this
dificulty-he had planted them al
phabetieally. Beginning at the tool
shed were aTtichokes; then came the
asparagus-nO to bloom till the sec
ond year; beans, beets, Brussels
sprouts, and cabbages, ranging all the
way down to tUrnips and watermel-
ons. There was no vegetable listed on
the catalogue after watermelons, so
he concluded that that growth was
alphabetically the last that was
known to science.
This method proved highly salts

impossible for him, city-bred as he
was, to have distinguished the sUcCU-
lent turnip from the radish or peanut,
unless he could have pulled it out by
the roots and examine it. !
Saturday came. Jim was in a fer
ment of excitement when his wife led
him into the garden. He shifted the
breeze, laden with fragrant Odors,
and it smelled very good to him. Alice
led him to a corner where some deli
cately tinted flowers were pricking
their way up through the mud.
Jim looked and stared. Alice had
hit upon his own design, The flowers
were growing in a rather straggly but
unmistakable letter ].

looking at him triumphantly.
"Yes-but-" stammered her hus-
band.

he led her through the little rustic

Alice looked at the growth in per-

she asked.

the expression on his wife's face had
become quite curious.
She stopped over the growth and
suddenly reached out her hand and
pulled a handful from the ground.
And then she sat down upon the path
and burst into tears.

BY Margaret Hubbard Aver.

T 7 is undoubtedly due to Bacchus, the
God of Wine, that dancing came
into bad repute with the stern old
Roman and has remained so with GER
tain members of our own republic until
this day.
For the Feasts of Dionysius, as he
was called in Greek mythology, at first
yearly celebration only, finally degen-
Grated into revels of the most frenzied
character.
When under the name of Bacchus the
same divinity was worshipped in Italy
the ancient Roman, who was an expert
wine grower, thought 1t only fitting that
this especial god should be appeased by
long festivals and celebrations of
semi religious character lasting for
days and in which wine and dancing
played the main part.
These dances were executed by the
priests and priestesses of BaCchus, who.
under the influence of wine. music and
the odor of strong incense. burnt before
the statue of the god, worked them
selves into state OF mad frenzy.
While the priestesses of all the other
dieties We're held in reverence the Bac-
chantes and the Maenads, as they were
called, soon fell into disrepute, and dur
ing the festival of Bacchus the Roman
matron saw to it that her young daugh-
ter did not leave the house.
The festival of Bacchus was at first
only a Thanksgiving celebration. Hymns
were sung in honor of the god who had
filled the gourds and leathery bags with
wine

Then the first STORY dances" We're
performed and the many adventures of
Bacchus enacted at the mysteries which
were part of the ceremony. These
dances or plays were staged with much
elaboration and the entire town stopped
work and all turned out to join in the
hymns, dance drink and pay tribute to
the protector of the vineyards And so
troubles arose as they do today With.
the influx of Oriental luxury and ideas
the Roman matrOn stayed away from
the feast, leaving the Bacchantes and
the hired dancers to perform her share
of the entertainment. and the whole
thing became a Bacchanalia, which is
