HOUSES ARE 1000 YEARS OLD
Ancient Dwellings Are Brought Ia
Light When Drought Lowers Level
Waters In Swiss Lake.

LondOn.-The three-months' drouglp
on the Swiss glaciers has caused the
water of the lakes TO sink so low that
prehistoric lake dwellings are visible
at several places.
At Greng, near the Lake Of Morat,
the remains of a large settlement can
be seen while by Lake Neuchatel, and
near Morges, on the Lake Of Geneva,
other interesting relics are visible.
These Swiss lake dwellings are be
lieved TO have been built as long as
1000 years ago. The structure which
supported the wooden platforms on
which the dwellings were built was
mnde of piles driven into the bottom
Of the lake.

ANSWERS THE SUHINONS

verse, in His wisdom, summon
ed our worthy Brother Presley
JJ.Barr to that Grand Lodge
Above.
PBrother Barr was of Scotch
Irish descent and inherited the
distinctive characteristic of love
for justice and fair play" He
was born at Erie, Pa, on Feb.
8 g. 1874. Here he lived until he
was "a years of age, leaving
Erie and going away to Albany,
" where he remained in business
for eleven years.
lit was while living here that
the principal tenets of Free
= masonry were so eXemplified in
1.-THE lives of the worthy brethren
that his mind, ever alert, led
q him to fathom the secrets of
1.-THE mystic order and to accept
Unequivocally its doctrines.
HE was made a Master Mason
in Greenbush Lodge No. 337,
ALBANY, New York, and he rap
idly mastered, not only the US
uual lecture given the candidate,
but the details and the Moni-
tOrial work. He was not con-
tent with just having his name
I on the record as a member, but
{ to him Masonry was a progress
siye science and he rapidly
progressed along the mystic
( road, becoming master of his
dodge soon after having, been
made a Mason.
He moved to Omaha, Neb.,
isin 1892, and at once became
sadentihed with Nebraska Lodge
No. l. He was a very active
Mason and never lost sight of
Masonic principals, nor an op-
p portunity to visit a Masonic
ilodg when away from home. He
took great interest in young
1Masons, lending encouragement
and emphasizing the import
ance of mastering the lectures
land also working out the de-
tails. -i"-a- '.--' '''-.'I." ..o
Brother Barr remained an
aactive Mason in Nebraska lodge
until he came to Arkansas and
asked for a dimit that he might
6become affiliated with Colum-
bus Lodge No. 682, Columbus,
Ark. He was duly elected a
member of our lodge on Nov. a,
1916. He Immediately became
Interested in the work of the
lodge, and if within reach Of
his cable-tow his presence greet
ed the brethren on stated or
called communications. His alb
sence was always understood
by the brethren-he was either
indisposed or the mud was so
deep that he could not get in.
Mo open meeting nor banquet
was complete without Brother
Barr presiding. His brilliant
wit and his ability in repartee
ever won for him the admira-
tion of his brethren and fellows
and always gained for him the
place of honor on such occa-
sions; nor did he cease to hold
a high place in secret sessions,
for out of his rich Masonic ex-
perience he never failed to give
instructive and entertaining
talks "for the good Of the or
der"
As Mason his obligation was
sacred, his preparation thor
0ugh, his integrity unquestion-
ed. As a man he was respected
among men.
1T was a disappointment to
him that hisssons did not all
become Masons during his life
time. He was often heard to
say in the lodge room that he
hoped to see them become Ma
sons, and we believe that no
keener joy could have come in
to his life than that which
would have come to him could
he. as Master of a lodge, con-
feferred the obligation on these
three sons. .

The Husband Traincr-f.

On of the interesting puzzles of life
is why second marriages are nearly al
ways happier than first marriages.
Widows and widowers when they re-
marry seem to know how TO get along
together in peace and amity, and you
seldom hear of them figuring in the
divorce court. Yet by all the canohs
of romance, the first marriage should
be the ideal one, for it is the realization
Of loves young dream, and clothed in
romance, as middle aged marriage
never is.
A first marriage is a summons to
sit at the head of the banquet table
of love, and partake of ambrosia and
nectar. A second marriage is a
scrapped up meal of rehaShed affec-
nevertheless, as a general, thing the
second marriage brings people more
real contentment, and comes nearer to
realizing their ideal of domestic bliss
than the first did.
This mystery has just been ex-
planned by the action of a man in
England who, at the end of his Sc :
ond wife's funeral, laid a wreath on
his first wife,s grave. on which was
this inscription:
ITO Jennie, in grateful remem-
brance of her husbands happy life
with her, which enabled him to enjoy
such subsequent happiness with her
equally loving successor"
There you have the explanation of
the successful second nlarriage! The
first wife trains a man for the wife
who comes after her. She, breaks him
to matrimony. and lucky is the lady
who can step into another 'woman's
old matrimonial shoes instead of hav-
ing to go thru the painful process of
supplying up a stiff and stubborn mas
culine temperament and shaping it to
domestic needs.
This iG no rofIaatfoa m v,,a,, T1,-oo
tical1y every man has honest and hon
orable intentions toward his wife when
he marrieS her, He intends to be a
good husband and to make her happy,
but he doesn't know how to do it. He
has had no experience of natrimory,
or with women. He is a laundering
amateur, and with the best will in the
world he makes fatal mistakes.
Also he enter lnatrinony under
| three illusions. One is that after d
woman is married she becomes a pro-
sale creature who is content to stay
/ at home, and wrestle with the high
cost of living, and who never cares to
be made love to- or amused, or jollied.
The second illusion is that family
can be run on air, and requires very
little money. The third illusion is
that a man can Just annex a wife to
the balance of his life. and does not
have to make any changes in his own
mode of existence.
His first marriage knocks all of
these delusions into a cooked hat, but
before that is done, the family circle
has become a dark and bloody battle
| ground over which he and his wife
have fought, times without number.
The results are that the man finds out
that even with the thriftiest of man
agement, supporting a family is one of
the most expensive luxuries in which a
man can indulge.

The release from prison of Eugene
V. Debs by President Harding prob
ably will be generally commended.
No good purpose could be served by
prolonging his punishment. He may
and probably will resume his custom
of knocking the government but he
can do no harm. Anybody can say
almost anything against the govern
ment while the United States is at
peace and remain unmOlested. Debs
and many more of his kind have been
made to understand that the situation
changes when we are at war. Uncle
Sam is patient and easy going as a
rule but he has demonstrated that he
can be a stern and severe old gentle
man when occasion arises. It is i'm
probable that the Debs lesson soon
will bo forgotten.
