TOO NOISY.

Did you ever notice how noisy a
certain class of our people are? 1t
just seems to be natural for some to
be noisy. This class talks loud on the
streets, in the street cars or wherever
they may be. OF course, the undis-
eliminating public finds it quite con-
venient to put us all in the same class
and to say we are all noisy. This, of
course, is not true, but the noisy, loud
mouthed fellows make so much noise
and there are so many of them, as
compared with the more refined class,
that the impression prevails that all
Negroes are noisy.
Now, some of you noisy fellows are
going to read this. OF course you
are. You don't think you are harming
anybody by your noise, and o doubt
less think that it is your own noise
and that it is therefore nobody's bust
ness how much noise you make.
Perhaps you are wholly unconsci-
Gus of the fact that you are noisy.
But if you think your n~oisiness harms
nobody you are wrong. For in the
uISJ pace II HARMS you. IL puts you
down as an ignorant or clownish chap.
1t may keep you out of a good job.
And then it harms the race to which
you belong. In the eyes of many the
whole rae is judged and condemned
by your noisiness and clownishness
and through you certain privileges
may be restricted or denied. True,
people may only want an excuse to
deny these privileges, and you furnish
that excuse. Did you ever think of it
in that light?
Empty wagons are noisy. Loaded
wagons make very little noise. Ever
notice it? Don't be satisfied to be an
empty wagon.
Next time you are in a bunch of
fellows notice how noisy they are and
see if you cannot be a little less noisy
yourself and induce the other fellows
to be a little less noisy, too.
You owe it to yourself. You owe it
to your race. Let us correct our
faults whatever they may be, and be-
ing too noisy and boisterous is one of
these faults.-Monitor.

Woodling, a favored brother, was busy
as official reporter, WiWlliam Cross
had no time to spare while making
up the tedious report on Returns of
Lodges, and thus each aggressive
spirit was kept in a sort of cabinet
membership which, while not exactly
a bride, was a sort of check upon
any ~tangential activity.
Few fairminded men can read the
annual address of Grand Master Pei
ham upon this occasion without ad-
miring the broad scholarship and prac.
tical grasp which it conveys Nor
would the reader have to possess any
unusual degree of perspicacity to
plainly read between the lines that

istic of Freemasonry.
The topic of Masonic Relief offered
the desired point for this particular
display of loyalty" 1t was pointed
out that many members of the Grand
Lodge were secretly fighting the Ma
sonic Relief, while most valiantly sup
porting the same principle in other
organizations. No names were cited,
but every member who had attained
any sort of prominence in any other
order came in for this blanket accu.
sation. No matter what objection a
member might urge to the Johnson
plan of managing the Masonic Relief
he was an enemy before he spoke, es.
pecially if he belonged to another Sc.
cret society. The Grand Master ex-
claimed, why is it that those who
are most deeply interested in other
orders are the most hostile and out.
spoken against the Masonic Relief?"
He warned the brethren to be not de-
ceived by those who only sought to
destroy the Masonic Relief in order to
make the same feature more cogent
nj other organizations.
This naturally had it's effect, espe.
cially as the Grand Master was not
a member of any other society, and
served not only to silence the tongues
but to safely curb the ambitions of
all who were so unfortunate as to be
a participant in any other work of
fraternal kind.
OF course the argument was wholly
fallacious. No one was opposing the
Masonic Relief department. There
were those who did not approve of
many of its features nor of the man.
ner in which the financial affairs
were operated under the hand OF
Brother Amos Johnson. 1t was quite
vain in the Grand Master to arrogate
to himself the protecting angelship of
afeature of the work which all the
brethren were equally pledged to sup
port and which all were equally bound
to sustain. He surely did not be.
lieve his own doctrine, being the un.
usually intelligent man that he was.

lection of the Masonic Relief at that
time was the enormous expense, of the
secretary's office. The Grand Master
recommended that the secretary sug-
gest some means by which this ex.
pense might be reduced-a mere ask-
ing of the physician to heal him.
self.
Naturally the matter of the short.
age of Grand Treasurer j. j. Bruce
would recur at this session. Brother
Bruce was present and had repaid
about two hundred dollars of the de-
linquency. He made an appeal to the
Grand Lodge for an indulgence of pa.
tience, brought tears to the eyes of
the Old Guard, and got a stay of ex.
ecution from those who had made
up their minds to riddle him with
invective. The money has never been
repaid.
The Heroines of Jericho came in for
some very kind and considerable notice
and might have been drawn quite
snugly under the arm ofw the Grand
Lodge had not another unlooked-for
matter interviewed.
1t appears that the new order East
ern Star also came up to this meet
ing in two rival factions asking for
recognition. This so irritated many
of the peace loving brethren that the
disposition to warm up toward the
adaptive rites" was decidedly cooled
and the whole question was passed
over for the time being.
The Building Committee recon-.
mended a certain lot in Jefferson City
to be had for the sum of three thou.
sand dollars and for the erection of
a Masonic Temple. 1t appears that the
offer was accepted tentatively.
The blanket ballot system was en-
ployed in the election which took
place on the second day. The prin-
cipal change was the advancement of
DR.. Ricketts, to the office of D. G. NJ.
James Gordon was made Junior Grand
Warden, and the next place of meet
ing was voted to st. Paul, MINI.
Instead of being taxed fifteen cents
upon each death claim for the Mason
ic Relief, it was voted to tax each
member one dollar annually for the
support of the department, the aggre-
gate to be equally divided by the num-
Der of deaths for the year after de-
Quoting operating expenses.
A vote also taxed each member one
dollar toward the Temple fund, same
to be paid within the current year.
Fifteen hundred dollars from Relief
funds were disbursed among benefici-
