The Cat Led Him Home.-They were
talking about the crooked streets that
characterize some Of the older towns
the other night, when Congressman ].
Henry Cooke Of Ohio, was reminded of
the conversation between Smith and
Jones.
Smith and Jones met in the smoke
end OF a Pullman car one afternoon
and during the gabfest that ensued
Smith referred to the town into which
he had just moved.
The streets Of the blooming burg,
he eloquently described, ARE the
crookedest of anything in that line on
the face Of the earth. You may not
believe it, but couple Of days after
we got there my wife wanted to lose
one of our cats and told me to take 1t
over and leave it along the river about
a mile distant. Well, sir
II see, old pal" smilingly interject-
ed the other. That's where you lost
the cat all right"
You've got another guess" return
ed Smith. IF hadn't followed the cat
would never have found my way
back home."-Philadelphi Telegram.

III A young man who had spent his
life in a country village went to Dub
lin to seek his fortune. On the day Of
his arrival he walked into a restau-
rant and ordered dinner. The waiter
brought in the meal in all those little
dishes sacred to restaurant keeping
and arranged them in tempting array
around the mans plate. For half an
hour he sat and looked at the un-
touched dinner Overcome by hunger,
ne called the waiter who had been
watching him wonderingly, and said:
Look here mister, If you don't hur-
ry and bring my dinner I'll eat up your
samples"

DoubIy Sold.-The newly appointed
master at a school had learned all
about "cribbing" and had not forgotten
them, says London Tit-Bits.
One day, during a lesson in history
he observed one of his pupils take out
his watch every minute or two. He
grew suspicious, thinking that the pu-
Dill was consulting notes on the lesson.
Finally he strode slowly between the
desks and stopped in front Of the boy.
LET me see your watch" he COM
manded.
"Yes, sir" was the meek reply.
The master opened the front OF the
case. He looked somewhat sheepish
when he read the single word, "Sold!
But he was shrewd man. He was
not to be thrown Off the scent so easi-
ly. He opened the back Of the case.
Then he was satisfied, for he read
"Sold again!"

,tT The young girl sat in her bed
room reading and waiting impatiently.
Her elder sister was entertaining a
young man in the parlor and she
wanted to know how it would termi-
nate. At last there was sound in the
hall and a crash Of closing door
made it plain to the girl that the
young man had gone. Throwing down
her book she ran to the head Of the
stairs and peered eagerly and intently
into the blackness Of the hall beneath.
We'll, Maude," she called, did you
land him?"
There was a peculiar silence, and
then a masculine voice responded:
"She did"

For Small Farmer.

Senator Laney said that it was ad-
mitted that the small farmer Of the
state was helpless in marketing his
cotton under present conditions in
being forced to place his crop on
the market without choice. The meas
ure, he thought, would relieve this
situation. The trend of events today,
he continued, was toward helping the
farmer. The currency bill had pro-
vision for this, he pointed out. Sena-
tor Laney said that he believed that
the proposed rural credits legislation
would give relief in the south, but
that cotton to be good collateral must
be put into shape for such usage, and
that the warehouses would do this
Senator Laney said that the only
potent argument against the bill was
the objection to the state going into
business. He answered this by saying
that anything done to help the farm
er would help all industries and indi
viduals in the state. He said that
there was no getting away from this
fact. The farmer. he said, was the
wealth producer of the south.
Discrimination in Grading.
Senator Appelt asked if the propos
ed bill would not remove any discrim-
ination in the grading OF the cotton.

Loyal Order of Moose

Phoenix Lodge No. 7OS will meet in special session Sunday, June 14th, at their magnificent home, 2S South Center street. The primary object of this meeting is to initiate some 200 applicants who have signified their desire to become affiliated with this grand organization and to aid and assist in the carrying out of the beautiful precepts as advanced by the order for the promulgation of the one great common cause, the universal brotherhood of mankind, the education and advancement of the orphan, the care of the aged, the protection and purity of the home
 Did you ever stop to think, boys, how wondrously beautiful is the motto of our order, "One for all, and all for one"? Each of us, in our own humble way, can, if we so de- sire, so regulate our daily lives and conduct that when the grim reaper comes, we will have the sweet as surance of a duty well done, and the infinite knowledge that a just re- "oi VI VIII Dt Oul l}Ollloii " Itll all is said and done, the simple fact re- mains that the only really beautiful life to live is the one in which the paramount thought is 'the good we can do to others" You and I firmly believe that this grand old world is growing better day by day, and if this is true, then there must also be a reason for the truth of it, and both you and I have a perfect right to advance the reason that is up- rermost in our minds why this con- dition exists.
 Personally. I believe that the many truly great fraternal organizations of today are largely responsible, the basic principles of which are very 1 similar-"Purity, aid and progress. friendship, charity and benevolence," and when many men are banded to- gether for the advancement of these glorious ideals, surely great good

must come of it, and just so surely does this g,and old world of ours reap the benefit thereof. You and should be very proud of our mem bership in the Loyal Order of Moose for is not our order a leader in this work?
 Wonderful, indeed, has been its accomplishments since it's reo-gani- ration q few short years ago, and it's growth has been the marvel of not only similar organizations, but of the entire civilized world. From a membership of some 241 in 1906 to over 600,000 in 1914 arises food fer serious thought. There is a reason fo, this wonderful growth and the results of the combined eff forts of this mighty army banded together for the uplift of humanity, for the benefit and betterment of the entire world along lines that are of vital importance to every true man and woman augurs well for its fu- ture.

thing of transcending beauty, and the principles of Pythianism and kindred organizations is the cement that permeates and binds the whole structure into one common mass of beauty and utility.
 And just so long, my friends, as that cement retains its vitality and power the structure will stand as the eternal hills, but once lost and it's binding force gone, the structure will fall apart and crumble to it's fall and be a ruin for the coming centuries to contemplate, as we to- day contemplate the ruins of a Roman civilization of ages gone by
 My brothers, it is not the tinkling cymbals of the sanctuary that makes the true Pythian. The glttering em- blems and the ritualistic ceremonies of our order are only the scaffolding for the construction of that moral and spiritual building to ba approved of God and emulated by men. A hand ever open with largesses for the destitute; feet ever ready to go OH eGIdHuS ol HlciSy, thi D dttulitu to the cry of distress, and a hea-t throbbing in unison with the wants and woes of humankind-these are the jewels that adorn the breast of every worthy son who bares his head in the presence of our sacred sanctuary.
 No man can bathe in the waters of Damon's Pool or drink from a Pythian fountain without being made a better man thereby, a better hus- band. a better citizen and a better neighbor. The precepts of Pythian ism, which is only another name for the eternal principles of justice and truth and fraternity, are burned into his conscience and instilled into his being in such a manner as to give him a new vision of mans duties to his fellows and Gods pur- poses on earth.
 Thoroughly assimilated, they give him an uplifting of mind and of soul that impels him for better things, a higher and holier view of life and it's higher duties and pow CTS and possibilities. a longing for the imperishable that causes him to exclaim with the poet, Holmes:
 Build thee more stately mansions
 O my soul,
 While the swift seasons roll!
