HIS OPINION

A Welshmart visiting London saw
please ring the bell' written on a
door. He did so, and in a moment a
powdered little Nfootman appeared
and inquired:
well, what do you want?"
"I want nothing" said the Welsh
man. II only rang the bell because II
says so here"
"Oh! 1 suppose you've come from
the land whore nannygoats grow on
gooseberry bushes ?"
Yes" said the Welshman; "but
in London l see stranger sights still
for you've only to press a button and
a monkey pops out!"-Chicago Her

However. not all the big hitting wa4 dons by the New Yorks. for the Panthsrs got some healthy licks off the delivery of Jeff Tesreau, who succeeded Slim Sallee. McGraw usd his real lineup, even to the hurlers.
 A lively batfest, including two homers. in the first inning gave the Giants such an extensive lead that the Partners never were able to over come the handicap. The margin of victory might have been even wider had sthA Hiants.s HeeAs disposed to work on the opportunities offered.
 :-e That first round proved a hitting carnival with Robertson and Holke contributing the major factors. Each of the stalwarts damned a drive over the ramparts skirting right field by margin of thirty or forty feet Robertson loosened a few shingles on the peaceable cottage of an esteemed citizen, while Holke topped off couple of stray branches on live oak a few paces further along to- ward center field.
 Sheriff Sal1ee was officiating for the Giants from the hurling mound at the time. The Higginsport law preserver had subdued the opposition in it's half of the first round and proceeded to curb the batting proclivities of the Partners through the remaining three rounds that he served.

Masons Celebrate Anniversary


The two-hundredth anniversary of
the founding of Modern Masonry was
celebrated on June oath by the mem
bers of Hope Lodge and it's auxiliary,

vice at the Methodist church.
Lodge was opened at Union Temple

corted by the Firemen's Band, led

Rev. James Opie made the anniver-
sary address, basing his remarks from
text of scripture: Behold how good
and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
in unity" He told Of the institution of
the Grand Lodge at an old tavern in
London two hundred years ago, how
it developed in England and finally ex-
tended to the colonies in this country.
Now there was amembership of over
two millions extending to every part
Of the globe. Masonry, the speaker
affirmed, stood for the highest citizen
ship, in patriotic sense as we'll as in
the sense of morality and brotherly
love.
H. F. Eaton, who Joined the order
when he was twenty-one years of age
and has served in the ranks fifty-seven
years, came of family of Masons. He
was charter member of the Oakes
10dooe ond tho rnorohoro of Homo
Lodge were proud to hear him speak
to them on this occasion.
! The soloist for the occasion was Mrs
H. E. Dady, who sang beautifully ooh
Heart of Mine" from Riley by Gallo
way. Miss Dorothy Brown also favored
the audience with violin solo, the
rendition being, from Meditation
from That's by Massenet.
The congregations of the Presbyter
ian and Methodist churches united fol
the service.
