Porcupines grow there. They are
wicked little animals that, when at
tackled, send needles flying in the air
like an aviator dropping steel spikes
on an unsuspecting army. "Our dog
attacked a porcupine the other day"
the engineer writes ''and he was made
very sorry for his foolhardiness. That
porcupine poured a hail of those
little singers into him like a machine
gun pumping bullets into an advanc-
ing army. The blacksmith with a
heavy set of tongs, pulled the spikes
out of the dog. If Rover attacks
another one, he will probably wear a
steel jacket"

MARYVILLE CITY SCHOOLS

The City Schools resumed theil
work Midday with a large attenda5ce
and the pupils are entering into tn eiI
work with unusual interest considb pr.
ing their two weeks vacation.
The school buildings have b6en
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected
and every precaution is being tax n
by the school authorities to safe
guard the health of the pupils.
The school board regretted che
apparent necessity of closing 4he
schools for the past two weeks hut
considered it to be best under the ok
listing conditions. If a strict quar-
antine of all contagious diseases
were enforced it would, as a rule,
never be necessary to close che
schools on account of sickness and
we think that the physicians and qity
authorities should cooperate in en-
forcing a strict quarantine if every
instance where isolation would be
for the safety of the community.
A, movement to enlarge the school
libraries is NV being started and we
hope all friends of the schools will
help by giving books or money.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
ABOVE THE AVERAGE

In a letter to Mrs 10 Burger. presi-
dent, from c. c.. Menzler, secretary
of the Tennessee Board OF. State
Charities, Mr. Member says that he
hopes soon to, have the time to write
a report on the local industrial home
which he visited some time ago. He
said from what he could see and hear,
he believed that the local school has
been doing standard work, which
cannot be said of but perhaps two
similar institutions in the state. He
hopes it will not be consolidated with
the poor farm of the county.
The home now has nine children.
It has a capacity of about twenty.
The number therein now is smaller
than usual. The home has sent out
more than 100 girls and boys, and all
have made splendid records with per-
haps a single exception. Mrs. Burger
is president of the board, Mrs. J. H.
Webb vice-president, Mrs. Chas. D.

HELPING TO BUILD
ALASKA RAILROAD

Knoxville, Nov. 16.-Alaska is &
land of snow and ice-upon the
mountains, even in August. But
down in the valleys, flowers bloom
like roses I'M Central America.
The white caps begin to appear If
the early part of the last summer
month. A blue haze forms between
you and them, you literally look
through an Indian summer-witt
ripening nuts, and berries all around
you-to bleak winter on the noun,
tain top.
Oh, no, Alaska is not all Eskimo
dogs, and snow trails. There is lots
of slush and ice hard as brick pave
ments, but this comes in winter time
just like it does around the Great
Lakes, and even down in dear old
sunny Tennessee.
ALASKA is a rich country" writes
Wallace Keller, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
R. A. Keller, SIT North Sixth street,
Knoxville, and first cousin to Helen
Keller, the famous deaf, dumb and
blind girl, of Tuscumbia, Ala. "The
domestic crops are not very great,
but wild berries, raspberries and
Strawberries grow riotously every
where. Against the wild waste of
everything else, their little red sides
CLEAN in the warm sun of Indian
summer like a red apple on a leafless
tree. Far out on the sides of the
mountains glaciers are creeping
down to the sea- Little rivers come
ripping by our camp. Farther and
farther down the mountains pull on
their white caps that look as if they
were merely preparing for a winter
sleep"
Mr.. Keller is an engineer for the
United States government, which is
repairing and extending the Alaskan
railroad. Mr.. Keller is graduate
of the University of Tennessee.
From the seventy-one mile post,
Mr.. Keller has seven miles north,
most of which distance he is blasting
through solid rock. Only three
trains a week reach them there, and
on each one enormous supplies for
the men are brought. One time they
received IT'S pounds Of black pepper
This ought to give sufficient idea of
the proportion other things were re-
ceived in. Dynamite is sent there
by carloads.
"The rivers the glaciers cause are
very treacherous," he writes. "They
change their course over night, and
expensive bridges which were built
to span them are left to suspend over
a bog of mud, which soon dries into
dust. Somewhere, perhaps miles
from there, the roaring water cut
through the line, and a new bridge
has to be built at once. No one but
the rivers know the reasons for these
sudden changes, and they maintain g

Tennessee District Convention.

After acquainting four of his COM
panions who had met with him in a
secret place on February 18th. 1864,
in Washington, D. c., of the contents
tof the ritual he had prepared, they
placed their hands on the Bible his
mother had given him and solemnly
pledged themselves to join the forces
of good in their effort to uplift man
kind. Four days later the first lodge
of Knights of Pythias was instituted
in Temperance Hall, in Washington.
The little boy who had received
the Bible from his mother and who
had later prepared the ritual of the
Knights of Pythias was Justus Henry
Rathbone, the founder of the Order,
which during a little over fifty-two
! years of existence has taught the
great lessons of of friendship and
charity to over a million select men
who in return for the lessons, pledged
themselves to work for the better
ment of mankind and in obedience
to that pledge have contributed mil.
lions Of dollars for the relief of suf-
fering humanity and practiced count
less deeds of kindness towards those
who were in distress and in need of
sympathy and encouragement. The
increasing influence of the order is
evidenced by the fact that during the
| last two years an army of over one.
hundred and eight thousand select
men were elected to membership and
instructed the mysteries ,of Knight
hood. Y
The members of Chilhowee Lodge
No. 1877 are planning to take an ac-
tive part in this Convention. Associ-
ate Grand Keeper of Records and
Seals, A. H. Hampson, of Nashville,
Tenn, visited the Chilhowee No. 127
on Tuesday evening of this week in
the interest of the Convention to be
held at Knoxville on Nov. 27 At this
meeting on Nov. IA the Lodge voted
to send a large delegation to Knox
vile on Nov. 27. Chilhowee urges
every member to attend this Conven-
ton as it will be quite a treat to see

Grand and Supreme bodies and is to
be used for the purpose of teaching
the great lessons of fraternity and
alternating the suffering of mankind.
1t is expanding for relief purposes
alone close to two million dollars a
year. 1t has erected and is main
tanning homes for the protection of
widows and orphans of deceased
Pythians. These homes are located
in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, North
Carolina, Texas and Tennessee.
Close to four million dollars have
been invested in Pythian Temples and
Castle Halls equipped so the great
lessons of the Order may be taught
to others of this and the future
generations.
THE HISTORY OF THE BIBLE
The Rathbone Bible has an inter-
esting history, and one of Signif-
canoe to Pythians. On October 30,
1874, loving mother gave to her
son present in honor of his fifth
birthday. To his childish mind a top
( or ball or some other toy might have
been more attractive, but the Bible,
coming, as it did, from, to his mind,
the greatest person on earth, his
mother, made him understand and
appreciate the gift.
Twenty years passed, and the in
fluence of mother and Bible on the
once little boy began to show signs
of fruitage. During the time that had
interviewed cruel war had arisen and
been waged. Brother sought to Stay
brother, and father to Stay son. The
great principles of friendship, chart
ty and benevolence, as taught by the
Book of Books, had virtually been
forgotten by thousands of men. Fol-
lowing the close of the great war, the
demon of distIust and hatred seemed
to hold sway over their hearts and
minds.
Ritual Prepared.
With a view of establishing an in
stitution that would replace distrust
with confidence, hatred with friend
ship and despair with hope, in the
minds of men, the boy grown to
young manhood, while pursuing his
calling as a school teacher, prepared
ritual the lessons of which imme-
diately took hold of the hearts of
men.

THE EDITOR
Cres-well ran we'll.

With cotton up to twenty-five,
The weather down to twenty-five,
What's the man with summer socks
AgOin' to do?
If you did it. Hiram, you ought
to be ashland.
The man who is hopeful is the
happy man. November, 1920, is
coming.
And now it looks like the railroad
strike is coming on sure enough.
Guess its up to Mr.. Wilson to settle
it again. Perhaps now he will try
to make permanent agreement.
The British are going after their
opponents in true sportsmanlike
fashion-about like Tennessee went
after Vanderbilt last Saturday and
like Maryville college hopes to go
after Mississippi A. & A. Monday.
There may still be O. change in the
outcome of the election, but it looks
hopeless now. Anyway, the lovers
of so-called democratic prosperity
will know better four years from
now, if the war ends in the mean
time.
