for him to edit a paper, and if he has
discovered anything which would re-
fleet on this great man, he is-well, ]
will wait II you have that magazine,
let me see it and / will return it to
you.
| have been informed that the Grand
Lodge OF. Missouri is in trouble again,
for it was voted at the session held in
ST. Joseph not to pay the tax of the
Supreme Lodge. | do not know which
one, but they had collected the money
from the lodges, and by vote decided
to return it to the lodges. You know
what this will mean, and If you don't
then you ask your Grand Chancellor.
John Mitchell, who was at one time
candidate for Supreme Chancellor and
when he failed in election he resorted
to this same business and got on the
outside, where Missouri will get, for
Supreme Chancellor Green will carry
out the law if it touched his Grand
Daddy. He is a straight forward bust
ness man, and when he is right you
can't move him. Those who have dis
agreed have tried to find some way to
get his scalp, but he is right and the
Pythians stand by him because he is
right and a safe, conservative leader.
1 realize that a newspaper is not a
court OF trial, and l am not going to
attempt to air the Missouri trouble and
the affairs of the supreme lodge and
the grand lodges in the paper. II will
come to you in due time if It belongs
to you.
l attended the Grand Lodge of Kan
sas, as I told you in the other letter,
then spent Sunday in Kansas City, the
guest of the Rev. Mr.. Dawson and his
household, and from there l made it
to ST. Louis and stopped for a few
hours at Poro, and then moved over
to the home of Dr. and Mrs. w. B. NJ.
Scott, of the Baptist faith. They have
a home of rest, and l took some rest.
Mrs. Elizabeth Scott and her niece,
Miss Irene Bryant, made it pleasant
for an old sick man. Miss Bryant is
an accomplished musician. She can
sing and play, and for this work she
has been trained.
The world is moving right along,
and / am doing some moving with It.
/ have discovered two little girls
one about 10, and sweet sixteen, at
that, and the other around ten. They
had some kind folks in the country,
and their parents decided that they
could spend a vac7tion with them in |
order to get them ready for study |
next month. The father is Baptist
preacher.
Carrie was the. "Sweet-sixteener,"
and she was the leader, or in other
words, she was the woman, and Lizzie
was the baby. Two or three chickens
were supplied for the long journey of
fifty miles, and put up in large box.
The tickets were purchased, and the
parents placed them on their journey.
They were to go through Hannibal
where an uncle was to meet and greet
them. The train had about fifteen
minutes to stay there, and Uncle took
them of, showed them the large wait
ing room there, and left them to 60
back to their car. Behold, there had
been some switching going on. the
passenger train had been switched to
another track, and a freight was'on the
track Carrie said this is the place,
and this is the car, and proceeded to
shove Lizzie up in the freight car, and
in turn Lizzie was trying to pull her
up, when the porter came along and
stopped them, lifted little Lizzie down
and showed them their proper train,
and wish you could have heard these
little folks shouting over their chicken
they did eat.
Carrie is just at the age where she
tan be called Miss Know ALL" and
she demonstrated IT, but she will some
lay get down to it and learn some
hing else. She is just a green coun-
ny girl, making her first ride on
rain. She now wants to make trip
With Sister Lizzie" to New York.
Someone would have to go along to
seep the cows from eating them for
yrass.
1 must not forget to remind you
hat August Is is the time for that
zig Allen Christian Endeavor League
congress in Chicago. Of course you
re now ready and will be there on
ime. The Methodists of Chicago and
few of the Baptists are going to put
he big pot in the little one to enter
ain you Of course you will be there.
Watch for my next.
CHARLES E. STUMP.
