District Meeting of K. P.'s,

The North Troy Palladium says Of
the district meeting of the K. P.'s held
in that place: ga field day and dis
trict meeting of the third district,
Knights of Pythias, was held here
Tuesday. On account of the rain,
which started about noon, members of
Oswegotchie Lodge, Island Pond, did
not come over, but Philemon Lodge of
Orleans, was represented by about
forty knights-and all live ones, too
The ball game between Orleans and
Trojan Lodge teams started off with
a rush with Orleans the aggressor but
rain held the play up at the end Of four
innings. The game will be played off
during some dry spell-either here-or
hereafter-or at Orleans. The district
meeting was entirely successful. The
rain did not interfere with that-in-
deed, it is said that many K. P.'s pay
no attention to water on such an occa-
sion. d. D. G. c., R. w. Hardy
opened the meeting, and Philemon
Lodge opened and closed the lodge in
true ritualistic style. The rank of
knight was exemplifed by Trojan
Lodge, and many compliments were
bestowed for the manner in which il
was conferred. Following the work,
refreshments we're served by Alpha
Temple, No. IL, P. S., in the dining
room. An hour of short talks. music
by a double male quartet of Orleans

Tells the Story of an Old New Eng.
land Farm Brought Back
to Life,

That there are joys other than the
mere making of money to be had in liv-
ing near to Nature on an old and worn
out farm is fully demonstrated in this
charming story, "The Idyl Of Twin
Fires" by Walter Prichard Eaton.
From the moment when the homesick
college professor tumbles headlong
into the purchase of his acres to the
hour when he settles down at his twin
firesides with the wife who has come
to crown his good fortune, the reader
feels with him the Joy of living, of

clean earth, Of seeing grow the things
he has planted with his own hands
and, above all, the joys and pains Of Low.

FEARED TO BE MisjuDeED
Man Who Wanted to Read Bible
Without Accusing suepiefea as
to HIS Motive.

His face was OF the kind charac-
teristic OF men who had gone up
against the world and won over all
obstacles = and he wanted a Bible,
says the New York Sun.
Haven't you got one with back
Just like the ordinary book and with
out lettering on it?" he asked.
The slim little brunette saleswoman
looked surprised and shook her head
decisively as she produced volume
of the Scripture bound in the custom.
airy fashion with the usual inscrip.
ton.
Nothing at all like that" she said.
81 doubt If you can find such Bible.
We never have any call for them
bound that way"
Then perhaps you can find me one
with a good stiff back, without the
lopovers at the edges, so can put a
cover on it?" -
The saleswoman handed him Bible
so bound. She was too we'll trained
to ask questions, but she unconscious
ly betrayed an expression which plain
ly said: IT hope you are not ashamed
to be seen with a Bible.''
The man was quick to perceive the
expression.
II know this is an unusual request
and an explanation might interest
you," he said. "I want to read the
Bible. I want to read it all, which
will require some time, as you know,
and as am very busy and most Of
my spare time is of the odds and ends
variety, I'll have to read it wherever
and whenever I have the opportunity
"And I desire to read it without
causing comment. You see, I've never
been a churchgoeA and my business
associates and acquaintances have
not had reason to regard me as exact
~ patron Of religion. Should they
see me reading a Bible at odd mo-
ments, on the train, say, or when mo-
toring about, I'm afraid they might be
seriously apprehensive or digusted, or
both. They'd probably remark some
thing like this:
"Look at that old reprobate, will
you-reading Bible! Trying to play

than any Of the rest of us, either!'"
ooh, I see!" the little saleswoman
exclaimed, smiling understandings

you're trying to put something over

I'm afraid they might misjudge
my motives and think might be try
ing to do something like that" he
said. $50 I'm going to put something
over on them by Disgusting my bible
I think that 1t will be the better way
for while. I'll take this one, please
I'll have paper covers fitted on it ani
then I can peruse it in peace, withou
fear Of precipitating a panicky suspi
