The Grand United Order of Odd
Fellows was never designated to
be an autocracy with a king to
rule indefinitely through an as
sumed divine right. The order
was founded on the principle that
the majority should rule, and the
keystone in its arch was benevo-
lence for the many, rather than
aggrandizement for the few.
Perhaps it is well that the Ben.
j. Davis faction, representing the
many, should hold a bi-annual

and force the issue to a fnality.

test, give the dog the right to wag
the tail, and NOT the tail to wag

Personally l have no scores to
settle with either faction. / am
simply venturing an opinion that
is prompted by an admiration for
the great orders past, and a hope
for its restoration for benefcence
to the many.

CooTIEs BIT SNAKES TO DEATH.
Twenty-FOur Bronx Zoo Reptiles Sue
cumb to Pests, Curator Says.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Persons
who think the boys has been exagger-
ating about the cooties "over there
ought to read this.
Just how tough these coolies really
are, can be judged from the fact that a
gang Of them have killed twenty-four
snakes out at the Bronx Zoo.
Curator Dittmar is authority for
the story. He says that he noticed
that the snakes, who had shed their
skins last summer, were shedding
them again. He investigated and
found the reptiles had literally been
bitten to death by the cooties.
"They shed their skins just like a
soldier afflicted with the cooties sheds
his shirt" was Dittmar's explana-
ton.
