Majesty has dissolved the State"

[ Majesty has dissolved the State.'
 There was burst of delirious ap-
 plause. Gradually silence was re-
 stored. and at last Andre-Louis was
 able to proceed.
 l You rejoice too soon. unfortu-
 nately, the nobles, in their insolent ar lrogance, have elected to ignore the royal dissolution, and in despite of I it persist in sitting and in conduct
 ing matters as seem good to them. This is no new thing. Always has it been the same. They have fouted the authority of the King, and they are siencing by assassination
 those who raise their voices to con- two young men who addressed the people as I am addressing you were done to death in the streets by as- sassins. at the instigation of the mo- bility. Their blood cries out for vengeance"
 Acclamations broke out unstintedly now. He had caught them in the snare of his oratory. And he pressed his advantage instantly.
 Let US all swear" he cried in a great voice, ito raise up in the name of humanity and of liberty a rampant against our enemies, to oppose to their bloodthirsty covetousness the calm perseverance, of men whose cause is just. Let lis make oath upon the honor of our motherland that should any of us be seized by an unjust tri- bunal, intending against us one of those acts termed of political expedi- ency-which are, in effect but acts of despotism--let us swear, say, to give full expression to the strength that is in us and do that in self-defense which nature, courage, and despair dictate to us."
 I need not dwell at any length | upon the sequel It is a matter of history how that oath which Omnes Omnibus administered to the citizens of Nantes formed the backbone of the formal protest which they drew up and signed in their thousands.
 CHAPTER TX.
 Dusk of the following day was fall ing when the homing Andre-Lou ap preached Gavrillac.
 Within a mile of the village he ] his first glimpse of figure on horseback pacing slowly towards him. But it was not until they had come ! within a few yards of each other that he observed this cloaked figure was leaning forward to peer at him. And then he found himself challenged by l woman's voice.
 Tt is you, Andre-at last.'
 He drew rein. mildly surprised.
 T have been patrolling this road since noon today, waiting for you" She spoke breathlessly, in haste to explain. "A troop of the marechausee

they did. Why I know boys Of 15 years of age who could give Methu- saleh tips on many things"
 "Kid, Ye Got My Goat"
 Here he concluded with a humor- ous story of courtship of an earlier generation and one more modern.
 "The boy of 20 years ago would sit on one end of the sofa and the girl on the other They would be old school mates, having grown up to- gether, and. after courtship of years. he would get down on his knees. take her hand in his and say. My queen, l adore you, wilt thou marry me-? And usually she wited. Nowadays, young man meets q girl at the movies and takes her home. The next night he calls at her home. The third night they go out to n dance or a show. The following week he calls three times The third week he sits on the sofa, the lights are turned low and she comes along and sits on his lap. As she throws her arms around his neck he says, Kid. you got my goat let's hunt up a minister and get spliced."
 Chief Rawlings Speaks.
 Chief of Police William J. Rawlings past deputy grand master. made few remarks in which he moved vote of thanks to Rev. Mir Davis, the orchestra and the committee. He spoke of the address which was one of the most powerful the minister has delivered In this city. and said he felt that the men present would be better Masons because of it.
 A social time and reception follow ed. This was the first gathering of the kind in this district and is ex- pected to be the forerunner of many others.

so, they shall not prevent me from speaking to you, from telling you what is to be looked for in them"
 And presently, when some measure of order was restored. he began his tale. In simple language now, he tore their hearts with the story of yesterdays happenings at Gavrillac.
 The Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr said of him that he had too danger ous a gift of eloquence. It was to silence his brave voice that he killed him. But he failed of his object For l. poor Philippe de Vilmorins s friend, have assumed the mantle of his apostleship, and I speak to you with his voice today"
 It was a statement that helped Le Chapelier at last to understand, at least in part. this bewildering change in Andre-Louis, which rendered him faithless to the side that employed him.
 And now in terrible voice, with an eoquence that amazed himself, he denounced the inertia of royal justice where the great are the offenders. It was with bitter sarcasm that he spoke of their Kings Lieutenant, M de Lesdiguieres.
 Again a great roar He had wrought them up to a pitch of dan gerous passion, and tney were ripe for any violence to which he urged them. If he had failed with the windmill at least he was now mas ter of the wind.
 Io, cL,N tad ing their hands. brandishing canes, and-here and there--even a sword. ITO the Palais!" Down with M. de Lesdiguieres Death to the Kings Lieutenant"
 "Ah, wait" he bade them. "Is this miserable instrument of a corrupt system worth the attention of your noble indignation? Precipitancy will spoil everything, Above all, my chill dren, no violence!"
 My children! Could his godfather have heard him.
 Out of the silence into which they had fallen anew broke now the cry of
 What else, then? What else?"
 "I will tell you," he answered them. The wealth and strength of Brittany lies in Nantes. She has the mower to make her will prevail. as we have seen already. Let her exert that power once more. and until she does so, do you keep the peace in Rennes."
 A dozen students caught him as he | leaned down. and swung him to their | where again he came | within view of all the acclaiming | crowd. They carried him out of the square l and up the Rue Royale to an old

house where behind closed doors q flushed and excited group of some nfty men hailed Andre-Louis as tht strayed sheep who had returned to the fold,
 Rising in response to the storm oi applause that greeted the proposal that he proceed as delegate to Nantes Andre-Louis bowed and forthwith yielded.
 CHAPTER VIII. Andre-Louis rode forth from Rennes committed to q deeper adven- ture than he had dreamed of when he left the sleepy village of Gavrillac Lying the night at roadside inn, and setting out again early in the morning he came on his errand of sedition into that beautiful city of Nantes.
 It was striking two. the busiest hour of the day upon the Bourse, when Andre-Louis reached the Place du Commerce.
 Soon the president came, others following, crowding out into the DOT tico. jostling one another in their eagerless to hear the news.
 Tell me. sir. is it true that the King has dissolved the States?"
 Summon the gentlemen of your Chamber, monsieur" said Andre Louis, and you shall hear al."
 "So be it."
 A word, and forth they came to crowd upon the steps, but leaving clear the topmost step and half. moon space in the middle.
 People of this great city of Nantes, have come to summon you to arms,
 T am a delegate of the people of Rennes charged to announce to you what is taking place, and to invite you in this dreadful hour of our country's peril to rise and march to her defense"
 "Name Your name." voice shouted, and instantly the cry was taken up by others, until the multi tude rang with the question.

Gee, Dep uty Grand Master Sherwood Ray mond of this district and Past Deputy Grand Master Hobert of Waterbury occupied seats on the platform. Mir Raymond announced the first annua Masonic outing and barbecue of this district to be held at Lake Com. bounce. July 29.
 Narrowness of Vision.
 Rev. MT. Davis took as his opening theme, the breadth of life, and spoke of the narrowness and the narrow universe of the ancients as compared to some modern attitudes. He told how the early Greek philosophers said the earth was only 1,5O0 miles wide, that the sky was a covering over the earth and had 5000 holes for light, which were called stars. He created much amusement by compar- in the ancient conception of the size of the earth to Bronx park. in New York, and by stating that Aristotle could have gone around what he thought was the whole earth in two days in Ford.
 No Choir in Church.
 He spoke of more recent dates and in England less than 500 years ago. He spoke of the tendency toward a universal religious democracy and said:
 Some people would make their own consciences measuring rods for their fellow-man and they want to stretch man on the rack, or cut him off so as to make him fit. Old Peter Cartwright, who was so relig- ious he started a revival at dance and hammered the village blacksmith until he became converted, was so narrow that he prayed the time never would come when there would be an organ or choir in church.
 To Wear a Collar.
 Some people I've seen thought you would be sure to go to hell if you ever wore gold. Other men think you ought not to wear any collar. It is sad to think of people being so narrow in their thinking.
 "Of course we wear neckties for show. We comb our hair for show. also. Some people would go all their lives with shackles on their hands and brains. Today there are GA mill lion people who never darken church door because they don't want to say their prayers and they think hats all a church is for.
 The Devil on the Ticket.
 You say that politics is no place ,or the church. I say the church has ] right to go wherever there is a nan. I've heard some men say they'd ;ote for the devil if he headed their avorite party, and sometimes it looks IS if the party leaders were trying l o satisfy him.
 Lucky for Methusaleh He is Dead.
 Speaking of the depth and length | ,f life, he referred to the age of | Iethusaleh and an ancient king said | o have lived S,S00,000 years, by say ng their system of calculation must lave been different in those days.

GRIPPING AN INDUSTRY

1t seems too bad when the govern
ment interferes with some of the most
promising industries. In Chicago a
prominent physician was manufactur-
ing twenty-year whisky in twenty
minutes. He had sold more than
100000 worth of his juicy product
W hen heartless representatives of
the government came in and took pos
session. Just because it was illegal
Until this time it had not been pos
sible to endow whisky with twenty
years of age in twenty minutes-and
now it is illegal. This seems tough.
The doctor is said to have had the
most beautiful still that the officials
had ever seen and with it they took
more than 800 gallons of the twenty
year-old whisky that had been made
the day before. The use Of oxygen
and ozone tanks and electric coils
would add years to the stuff and at
the same time bring the fusel oil to
the top. This would be drained off
and oxygen introduced, thus purifying
the LIQUID. 1t only took about twenty
to produce a whisky that
would pass for twenty-year-old bour-
bon. The doctor had labels for all
the fancy brands as a part of his
stock He could give man case of
Old Crow or Oscar Pepper--just as
was preferred-on a half hours no.

AERIAL ARMAMENT

\ We are told that battles of the
future will be largely decided by ali
forces rather than naval. When we
look back over the accomplishments
in the development of aviation during
the past ten years and consider what
another ten years may bring forth,
would it not be wise for the Disarma-
ment Conference to take up the 1ques-
tion of limiting aircraft as well as
battleships?
1t is conceivable that the attention
and much of the expenditure now de-
voted to naval defense might be turn
ed to the production of dreadnaughts
of the air which would be quite as
formidable as any dreadanught of
the sea ever known. If we are to
advance toward any real peace the
proposed holiday in naval prepared
ness must include army and aerial
limitations as well. A nation might
concede all that is asked by the con-
ference and still make her aerial de-
Tense a menace to other nations,
which would defeat the great purpose
presented by our own country and ac-
cepted by the powers represented in
Washington. The multiplication of
danger and horrors made possible by
aircraft may act as a deterrent of
war, it is true. But the knowledge
that the nations of earth had volun-
tarily put away all offensive armament
of whatever nature would lift the
clouds Of dread which must forever
hover over the masses Of men while
preparedness" for attack and con-
quest still goes on, whatever form it
may take.

KEEP SMILING

Carry a smile with you, young fell
low, as well as a calling card-it is
a better introduction. Our enmities
are caused by Misunderstanding and
they are all melted in the sunshine Of
the heart Take the chip off your
shoulder and stop your still hunt for
insults. Do not take the little wor
ries that vex and fret too seriously.
Science has recently proven that every
thought we entertain does something
To our body. Fear spoils digestion.
anger benumbs the brain, jealousy
disturbs the circulation, insncerity re-
tards the breath, cowardice msettles
the nerves, anxiety robs sleep of its
benefits, misunderstanding so upsets
the action Of the heart that various
disorders may ensue. To the contrary
e h positive, hopeful, energizing
thought makes us live longer and bet
ter. Joy lubricates, despair clogs the

and grapple with your problems at the
same time. Worry leads to chaos, but

YOU HAVE TO CLIMB

Old Hiram Jones says he's found lifet
paths
Much like the trails that wind about
On mountainside, and here anc
there
And up and down and in and out
And some are easy and some ere hard
But (here's the moral of tins
rhyme.)
The easiest grades 90 nowhere,
To reach the top you have to climb
The level trails are pleasantest,
Their grass-grown ways are ever
soft
To the foot of the pilgrim, the song
of birds
And the drone Of bees is heard
aioft,
But Hiram says the views one gets
Are as little worth as a silver
dime,
You find THEM up on the wind-swept
peak
And to reach the top you have to
climb.
The climber that dares the Jagged
path,
With never curve to left or right,
Where the loose rock slithers beneath
his feet
And every yard ahead means fight,
Has ever this promise, its steepness
still
Brings him who will in the shortest

ASKING FOR FISH

You owe the world a living. So
far it has given you every good thing
you have had the gumption to grasp.
It is time to settle up. For every
breath of air that was. sweet and sus-
tanning, for every taste of food that
nourished you, for every bit of fruit
you found luscious and inviting, for
every heart throb of affection, for
every mental thrill, for every vision
of beauty, for every hour Of slumber
you owe the world an equivalent in
good work. When you think how
much more the word has given you
than you have put back you will see
that it is high time you were paying
up. Every man owes the world a
better living than it has had before
by helping to make it a better place
for the rest to live in.

THE WOMAN PAYS

The soprano in a leading church
choir in Hartford has been discharged
from her position and expelled from
the companionship Of the elect be-
cause she put an unusual amount of
passion in the kissing that went with
an operate production in which she
was one Of the principals. Instead of
merely touching the lips she wound
her arms around Rupert--or what
ever his name was-and bit into his
mush with amorous frenzy. The
audience thought it was great. but
the pastor and deacons couldn't stand
for the hussy. The man who was
kissed was tenor in another church.
He was not expelled however. As
usual, the woman pays.
