It takes lots of brains, patience and attractivenes to keep everybody straight. The trouble is it's not so much a matter of benefit to others as it is a satisfaction to yourself to be the general manager of things, The world could lose several in every community and it's efficiency and peace would not suffer in the least. The chap that would be general man. ager of any group of people must not only be man of big mentality but it has to be recognized to bring harmo- nious results.

 In the loss of Charles L. Hubbard, Masonry in this City. State and Nation is deprived of one of it's most valued members; Earnestly and actively in terested in the Order, he gave it enthu- siastic and hearty support and worked long and willingly to the best of his ability for it's upbuilding.

Mistaken Contempt,

It was justly said by Emperor Charles V that to learn a new lan- guage was to acquire a new soul. He who is acquainted only with the writers of his native tongue is in per petual danger of confounding what is occidental with what is essential, and of supposing that tastes and habits of thought, which belong only to his own age and country, are ihseparable from the nature of man.-Macaulay.
