FORT WAYNE TOOK OFFICERS. ! — Every Place of Importance in C. B. L. of Indiana. The annual convention of the C. B. L. of Indiana, which was in session at St. Marys hall yesterday closed after electing nearly all ’.he old officers and selecting Fort Wayne as the meeting place for next year. Delegates representing 800 members were present from Fort Wayne, Huntington, Frankfort, Garrett, Decatur, Lafayette, Tipton, Avilla and Rushville. The business sessions occupied the afternoon and the reports of officers showed the league to be growing steadily. There are eight councils iu Fort Wayne alone. The election of officers resulted as follows: Supreme president, Thomas J. McLaughlan, Fort Wayne, Ind.; supreme vice president, Steve B. Hermsen, Frankfort, Ind.; supreme orator, Louisa Hargrove, Huntington, Ind.; supreme secretary. Julian F. Franke, Fort Wayne, Ind.; supreme treasurer, John J. Kohrman, Fort Wayne, Ind.; supreme chancellor, Harry F. Kennerk, Fort W,ayne, Ind.; supreme Marshal, August A. Goeke, Fort Wayne, Ind.; supreme guard. Hatilda Smith, Fort Wayne, Ind.; supreme trustee for three years. Mae Freiburger, Fort Wayne, Ind.; supreme chief medical Wayne. Ind. At 6 o’clock the local delegates and state officers entertained the visiting members at a banquet at the Hos Bran. Mr. Thomas J. McLaugan was tosatmaster, and responses to toasts were made by Mr. H. B. Lode, of Lafayette; S. B. Hermisen, of Frankfort; T. A. Garaghty, editor of the Rushville Star, and others. In the evening the guests were entertained at a pedro party. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. STAGE FRIGHT. The Way Henry Miller Rendered a Well Studied Line. In Toronto, almost my first appearance on the stage, I was cast for the Earl of Shrewsbury in “Amy Robsart.” The title sounded imposing, and I felt quite important, although I had but a single line to speak. In answer to Queen Elizabeth's command, “I charge thee, my Lord of Shrewsbury, arrest that man,” I was called upon to reply, “Whom does your grace mean?” My perturbation over that line was probably more serious than anything in my subsequent career. What emphasis to give, what intonation to use, what manner to assume, gave me greater concern than I felt later over an Interpretation of Hamlet. I repeated the line a thousand times, stressing first oue word and then another, using this inflection and that, and getting into it every grade and shade of meaning. With what result? So far as I could learn afterward, I did not speak it at all on the opening night. The leader of the orchestra was the first person I broached on the subject. “How did I speak my line?” I asked him after the play, longing for the encouragement none had vouchsafed to volunteer. “I didn’t hear you say anything at all,” was his disheartening rejoinder. And neither did any one else whom I could discover.—Henry Miller in Bohemian. MISTAKEN OCCUPATIONS. Do Not Continue In a Pursuit For Which You Are Not Fitted. There is, in these alert days of competition. of quick opening and closing of places where bread may be earned and a path in which to go forward secured, no time for doing anything that one can’t or that is of no moment when accomplished. Know for a certainty that never half the harm has come from a firm and dignified refusal to enter upon or to continue In a pursuit not fitted to one as from engaging in such pursuits. What loss the world would have sustained had Handel consented to become a lawyer. Turner to remain a barber, Claude Lorraine a pastry cook, Schiller a surgeon, Pascal a teacher of dead languages, as was intended by relatives. But, great as would have been the loss to the world, the loss to these men themselves would have been far greater. Doubtless thousands of crimes ■which have ruined an Incalculable number of lives could be traced to mistaken occupations. Joy and delight in one’s work mean progress, and progress and its result and satisfaction mean a nobler life than stagnation and partial or entire failure could fashion. Doing the thing one can is working for morality and toward perfection on all the planes of life, physical, mental, spiritual.—Lida A. Churchill in the Delineator. “Flirting” With Brook Trout. If the farmer boy Is more successful in his catch than the city fisherman it is because he realizes the advantage of keeping out of sight. Os course the supposition is that other conditions are equal. Familiarity with a stream often has much to do with the size of the string. Trout especially love to hide under wooden bridges, water soaked logs, branches, etc. They seem to realize that safety is found in such places. When the current will not take the worm to these spots one must resort to “flirting." This is done by holding the hook in the left hand and bending the pole until the tension is sufficient to throw the worm over the spot. Considerable practice is necessary to make the bait land exactly where it is wanted, but “flirting" is an art well worth acquiring.—Circle.

THE CLUB WOMEN (Continued from page 1.) Valparaiso, chairman; home economics, Mrs. O. N. Guldin, of Fort Wayne; industrial and child labor, Mrs. Maud E. Elbel, of South Bend. The women of this conference will select speakers for the October meeting and arrange the program as much in detail as possible.” One of the events of the October meeting will be a reception and musicale at the John Herron Art institute and there will be several social affairs arranged for the visitors. Mrs. Cora C. Barnett has charge of the program and it will be sent out to all the clubs connected with the state federation one month before the meeting to be held October 29, 30 and 31. Eighty clubs have paid their dues in the new state federation and it is expected that many more will come in before the first annual meeting. OFFICERS’ELECTED (Continued from Page 1.) mander has norrowed down to former Senator James Barlow, of Plainfield, and former Attorney General William A. Ketcham, of Noblesville. Dr. Tucker, of Noblesville, announced his withdrawal today and it is the understanding that a majority of his supporters will vote for Barlow in the election tomorrow morning. The Ketcham leaders appeared confident tonight that their man would win. Judge Benjamin W. Shelton of this city appears to have easy sailing for senior vice commander. Three big camp fires were held :onight—the G. A. R. at the Princess rink; the W. R. C. at the Baptist church and the Ladies of the G. A. R. at Saengerbund hall. CONTRACTS LET FOR NEW HALL The I. O. O. F. Will Have Half Million Dollar Block. Indianapolis, Ind., May 23.—Paramount in the proceedings of the Indiana Grand lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellow’s, now’ in session, was the report of the building committee appointed last November to prepare plans and award contracts for the erection of a new lodge and office building to supplant the present hall of the order at the northeast corner of Washington and Pennsylvania streets. The committee reported that plans for a fourteen-story building, prepared by Rubush & Hunter, architects, had been accepted and that conditional contracts had been entered into for the construction of the building to cost, approximately, $540,000. Approval of the grand lodge w'as given this afternoon. Tennants of the present building have given consent to move out pending building operations and it is thought that actual work will begin June 1. All financial arrangements have been completed. The new building will occupy the entire site of the present Grand lodge hall, which has a frontage of 115 feet in Pennsylvania street and of sixty-seven and one-half in Washington street. Though it will have fourteen stories it will be equivalent in height to a fifteen-story building by reason of the high auditorium, which will occupy the top floor.

Stimpson, of Willimantic, Conn., who, I after almost losing hope of recovery, I on account of the failure of so many remedies, finally tried Foley’s Kidney Cure, which he says was “just the thing” for him, as four bottles cured him completely. He is now entirely well and free from all the suffering incident to acute kidney trouble. THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.
