TWENTY.rIFTH ANNIVERSARY.
Verses Read at Meeting Of Golden Rod
Lodge, Appleton, May 5, 1915.

Verses Read at Meeting OF G0iden Nod
Lodge, Appleton. May S, 1915.
Twenty five years have rolled away,
Twenty-Five years on this fifth Of May.
Since Belfast lodge to Appleton came
And gave the Golden Rod Lodge name.
We had hoped to meet them once again.
Aud some charter members we retain,
And think that each one was glad to say,
"Welcome, thrice welcome, this glad natal
day"
Seven are left of those olden ones
Meeting thro' winter SHOWS and summer suns.
The few that are left to gather here,
Who faithful have proved thro' each feeting
year.
Twenty-Five years is quite space.
As the sands of time run on it's race,
And we are proud that we count not any dross,
But all true Golden Rods. without loss.
For our work bears ever on its course,
Love and Truth with glad intercourse
Our friends and friendships proven true,
And thus as true friends, one and all we greet
you.
With bright jewels and flowers our Order is
entwined,
With truth emblems, the pearl and lily so
white,
The ruby, pure love, the heart and the mind,
With the diamonds of friendships refulgently
bright.
This lodge has record Of one hundred good
members,
Who come pretty often and have good time;
Some come distance thro' bleakest Decem-
ber-
Sister Keene is a member ranking first in the
line.
Tho eight decades have passed Ger her ween
In staff and degree work she is as smart as the
best,
There's not many lodges (don't think me
boaster)
Who've more time honored chaplain than
dear Sister Keene.
Our staunch old guardians, Brothers Page and
Frank,
Must ever remind US of the towering pines of
this State of Maine,
Or the rugged oak whose courage undaunted
Keeps watch and true vigil thro' sunshine and
rain.
And Sister Helen, our Babe, mean,
A charter member when this lodge begun,
Don't say we are old, Were twenty tonight"
And don't look at Harry, her tall, manly son.
Our staff has stood firm all test and hard trials
Working with zeal, and ardor, and skill,
Meeting with hardships and stern elf-denials-
Three cheers for our degree staff, given with
will.
These brothers and sisters who tonight have
pledged with US
Their allegiance to God and belief in his word,
May each one be blessed with the teachings
impaired,
And all of the honors on them be conferred.
And tho Time has left burrows, and decadence
sod,
We are glad that it's brought US to fairgrow-
ing May.
And the paths we must follow lead upward to
God,
We are ever pursuant, ever trusting His way.
NV in friendship and love, linked with truth
as our guerdon,
Here's wish that oftimes we'll all meet again,
And, in twenty five years may we meet you
and greet you
In Golden Rod Lodge of Appleton, Maine.

POET OF THE TRENCHES WRITES
TO LITTLE TON.
.saoaS ono NaIo

From the trenches in France, the fol-
lowing bit of verse, written for the SOL
diers, was sent by William A. Rochelle,
serving in the Second South Stafford
shire regiment, to his sister, Mrs. AL
bert Clare of Beverly, Mass. The verses
came. in one of the new envelopes pre-
pared by the British government for the
use of soldiers at the front. 1t was
mailed in France and on the back bears
the signed statement that it contains
nothing but matters relating to personal
or family affairs. Mr.. Clare has tiv.
brothers in the British army and all in
the trenches in France, fighting for the
Allies.
Would you like to be q soldier, little Tommy
all my own?
Would you like to tip the Kaiser off his high
and mighty throne?
Would you like to be with father in we'll dug

would give a month of Sundays, just to see
how he has grown?
Yes, Id like to be a dustman in the poorest
London streets,
For the chance of seeing Tommy with gum
Doll made OF sweets.
If you want to be where am, then want to
be with you,
But I'm here to show tyrant that Briton s
word is true
We must stand by little Belgium, we must
~, tight till fighting ends.
we must show the foes of Britain that we
dont desert our friends.
Don't you go and think, my Tommy, little
q
That we're squabbling here for nothing-that
were growing for bone.
we are here for Britain's honor, for our free
dom and for peace,
And were also here, my Tommy, that these
wicked wars may cease.
Don't you say that am funky, don't you say
that am sick;
Boy. I'm half afraid to tell you, but love it
when it's thick
When the shells come screaming, bursting and
the whstling bullets wall,
God forgive me, but love it, and fight with
tooth and nail.
But it's after looking round US, missing friends
and finding dead;
1t is then the British soldier gets fancy in
his head,
And he swears by God in Heaven, that the
man who starts a war
Should go swimming into judgment down a
cataract OF gore.
I That's what makes US great fighters and I'd
have you be the same.

Tommy all my own,
Asking God to save your daddy, send this

BRET HARrE's ADVICE TO WRITER'S.

In the Interesting People department,
of the June American Magazine appears
an article about Mrs. Josephine Clifford
McCrackin who, at seventy-six years of
age, still does active work on morning
newspaper. She has seen all the thrill
ing times of western frontier life and in
the old days was associated with Brete
Harte and other famous argonauts. She
is now working on morning paper in
Santa Cruz, California. Of her early
experiences and her relations with Bret
Harte the following extract from the ar
ticle about her relates in part as follows:
''There was time when the name of
Josephine Clifford McCrackin was well
known to all readers of current litera-
ture both here and abroad. Her first
story, Down Among the Dead Letters
appeared in the Overland Monthly for
December, 1869, and the magazines
noted editor, Bret Harte, liked it SO
much that he urged her to write more.
and finally made her one of his associate
editors. 1t is of the years she spent in
the busy office on Clay street, San Fran
cisco, with Harte on the editorial tripod,
and a host of illustrious folk always
dropping in, that Mrs. McCrackin loves
best to talk. .
81 like to remember those old days
of intimate association with one OF the
greatest story -tellers America has ever
produced Mrs. McCrackin said remi-
niscently. Soon after determined to
make writing my profession, my mother
came to me and said very soIemnly:
Josephine, you must ask Mr..
Harte what books you should read to ac-
quire perfect STYLE"
Accordingly l ventured into the edi-
torial sanctum and said as soiemnly as
my mother had done:
''Mr. Harte, what books shall l
read to acquire perfect style?"
"Oh, lord!" he groaned, swinging
around in his chair, ''for PHYS sake,
don't read anything! Just write! Write!
Write!'
Our chief was a person of decided
prejudices, and not infrequently he al
lowed them to enter into his judgment
of a story. His particular spite was d.
rected against big words. One day l
came across differentiate in a story, and
for the moment the meaning of the
word escaped me.
"Mr. Harte, what does differenti
ate meant" l inquired.
ooh, it's just long-winded way
of saying different, or differ-throw that
thing aside, we can't use it!'' was his
impatient reply.
For some time l lived in the same
house with Mr.. Harte and his family,
and 80 had an opportunity to see a good
deal of him outside the office. He was
a genius, there is no question about that;
but, like many another genius, he sorely
needed guiding hand; and that per
verse fate denied him. -

WOUNDS OF TWO WARS.

Under the above caption, the New
York Evening Sun quotes from writer
in the New York Medical Journal to show
how speedily the wounded of this war
recover. and what large percentage,
as compared with those in the Civil war.
Surgery has made marvellous progress in
the past fifty years, and the steel-jack-
eted bullet of today makes small, clean
wound, much less deadly than the large
calibre muskets of the Civil war period.
Antiseptics has done wonders. in reducing
gangrene and other deadly after results
from the Jagged wounds of shell and
shrapnel. and the percentage of wounded
to recover may be assumed to be larger,
than in any previous war. The surgeon
and his aid, the nurses are angels of mercy
among The reek of battle now as never
before. Indeed, Civil war surgeon, in
the light of later learning, says many of
the wounded recovered in spite of the
treatment afforded, rather than because
of it, frank confession from one who
did his best, but has learned since that it
wasn't very good. -Atchison Globe.j

Catch Forger Wanted In S. D.

Madison-The Lake county
authorities have been notified of
the arrest at Albany, Ore; of
anindividual named Toby Smith,
who for some time has been
wanted by them on the charge
of forgery. The search for the
fugitive has extended over a
large number of western states
and finally terminated at the
Oregon city.
Smith for some time made his
home with Frank kinner, Lake
county farmer. During the
temporary absence ofthe farmer
Smith made his disappearance,
appropriating suit of Kinner's
best clothing to his own use.
He then visited Madison, where
he made several purchases, ten
dering in paying checks for $50
and $50 which the signature of
Kiner, it is alleged, had been
forged. Both checks were de-
clared worthless when they
were banked, but Smith had
disappeared:
1t is expected he will offer no
objection to being returned to
South Dakota for trial. In fact
the authorities have been ad-
vised that following his arrest
he confessed it passing one
worthless check and offered to
pay back the amount secured by
him on the check if the case
against him is dropped.

Standing Rock To Open In May.

President Wilson has approved
the opening to settlement of
several Thousand acres in the
Standing Rock Indian reser-
vation in South and North Dakota
to be disposed of under the
homestead laws.
After the two states have made
selections to which they are en-
titled there will remain $4,000
acres in North Dakota and AZ 900
acres in South Dakota subject to
entry
A new system is to be tried
which does away with the old
lottery used at the Rosebud and
other places. The land will be
open to inspection from May 3
to May 19, and filing may be
made on the later date. In the
event there is more than one
applicant for the same piece of
land, these contestants will draw
lots.
In South Dakota the filings
will be made at Timber Lake
and in North Dakota at Bismarll.
There are 1, 100000 acres in the
reservation, but after the state
has taken it's share and with the
Indian allotments made, there
remains but 100000 for settle
ment.

Best Wheat For State.

Farmers of South Dakota ex-
pect to sow a larger quantity of
Marquis wheat this year than
ever before, the past year hav-
ing proven beyond all possible
doubt that this is the hardest
wheat for the state that has vet
come to light. Marquis wheat
ranks with Blue Stem and Fife
wheat on the market, being a
hard wheat of excellent milling
qualities.
Farming experts declare it is
the most profitable spring wheat
for the farmer to raise. 1t ma.
lures from ten days to two
weeks earlier than Blue Stem,
a week earlier than Velvet Chaff
and yields more than ether of
these varieties under good con-
ditions Or hardships. Besides,
Marquis wheat has no beaeds.
During the past year Marquis
ran against blight in Iowa and
withstood it better than Velvet
Chaff. 1t experienced drouth
in South Dakota and proved a
better crop than Blue Stem. In
North Dakota it encountered
black rust, showing up better
than Scotch Fife.
1t is hardy plant with a
short heavy straw and heavy
heads, and has proven that it
can withstand calamities and
produce good crop where other
wheats will not be worth the
cutting.

coats at the Golden Rule.

The True Harbinger.

Most harbingers of Spring are
fakes; the man depending on
them wakes to find they fooled
him and he sees he has the grip
or some disease. He sees some
harbingers on deck, and says,
THE winters gone, by heck;
soft wind from the southland
blows, and [ shall change my
underclothes, and put my over.
coat in soak, and dance and sing
and laugh and joke" And then
a blizzard comes along, and
shows him where he got in
wrong. Oh, don't assume that
Spring is here, when jimcrow
harbingers appear, but wait un-
till the clucking hen is fussing
round the yard again, intent on
Matching sundry chicks into
this world of politics. And
don't be fooled by pullets young
which clucks around ere Spring
is sprung, they re too impatient
in the cause; the fire of youth
is in their craws. But wait
serenely till you've heard the
clucl1ing of the wise old bird
which has outlived the zeal of
youth and long since cut her
wisdom tooth. When she gets
busy, when she begs for nest
of straw and fourteen eggs, then
gentle reader, you may shed
your underwear of flannel red;
for when the old hen plays her
game, we realize that Spring
has came.-Walt Mason.
