ODD FELLOWS MEET And Put Whitewater Lodge in Full Control. At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Odd Fellows Hall building association last night, a complete reorganization was effected in the oftfleers and board of trustees. As the Whitewater lodge is the largest stockholders, Ave of the directorships and all the officers are from that lodge. They will have the active management of the building from this time on, although there will be no change in the policy. Lawrence Handley gave the annual report showing a profit of 11 per cent. Forty two years ago the members of the various Odd Fellows lodges subscribed $40,000 worth of stock. During this time the amount paid to the benefit of the stockholders for dividends and improvements has amounted to $101,000 which is about 6 per cent profit on the investment. The officers for the year are Demas S. Coe, president; Lawrence Handley, secretary, and E. D. Neff, treasurer. The board of trustees is composed of the following: D. S. Coe, O. H. Medearis, J. C. Darnell, E. D. Neff, Geo. W. Avey from the Whitewater lodge; W. A. Bond, Woodward lodge; W. A. Johnson, Richmond lodge; Louis Crome, Herman lodge, and L. D. Handley of the Oriental lodge.

"I suppose," said the woman one day, -that you find almost all the mountain flowers around here?"I find a great many," said the scientist. "There's one species of flower," she continued, "of which I've read as always being on the hills, and I've always wanted to see it. Perhaps you can pick me some." "And what is this flower, madam?"

SHOWM OTFYOUR SKILL Ir4 THE SAME. PURPOSE,RIVALS NEWTOUHPLAND BIG WESTERN CROP C. P. Railroad Starts First Harvest Excursion. (National News Association) MONTREAL, Aug. 2 The Canad ian Pacific today started the first of its harvesters' excursions to the West, where the farmers are reported to be in need of 50,000 harvest hands to assist in caring for the great wheat crop estimated at 200,000,000 bushels. The largest number of men hitherto sent West for harvesting was two years ago, when 26,000 made the journey. The big increase this year is due to the fact that the crop in Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan promises exceptionally well, both on land that has been in cultivation for years and on the big additional acreage that has been .broken up during the past two years. The railroads expect to recruit thousands of harvesters in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces. It is probable that a number will also be broiight out from England. Laugh and Grow Fat. "Laugh and grow fat" is an old saying, and there is more than a little truth in It, asserts a doctor. "The convulsive movements which we call laughter exert a very real effect upon the bodily framework. They cause the arteries to dilate, so that they carry more blood to tbe tissues of the body and the heart to beat more rapidly, so that tbe flow of tbe blood through the vessels la hastened. In other words, laughter promotes the very best conditions for an Increase of the vital processes. The tissues take up more nutritive material and the waste products are more promptly removed. A good laugh sends an increased flow of blood to the brain. This immediately causes that Instrument of thought to work better, with .the result that gloomy forebodings are sent packing." The Origin of the Mastiff. Mastiff Is a term applied to a very large and powerful species of tbe canine family, and there is considerable conflict of opinion regarding tbe origiD of the word. Some claim that It is de rived from tbe Italian mastino or the French mastln, both of which signify large limbed. This word, they say. was gradually corrupted Into masty, a Lincolnshire expression meaning very large, muscular or big. until it gradually assumed its present form. Others again say its true origin Is the old German masten. to fatten, because tbe mastiff Is a large dog and so seems better fed than any othersLondon Field. Good Scheme.

STOCKHOLDERS OF OIL COWORRIED Fear They Will Lose Mil lions in Distribution of Standard's Stock. (National News Association, NEW YORK, Aug. 2. Fearing that they will lose millions in the distribution of Standard Oil stock, as was ordered by the United States supreme court in dissolving the trust, shareholders will get together for their own protection, it was learned today. Ap prehension is also felt by brokerage houses which are carrying shares of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey or subsidiaries for customers. The secrecy which has always char acterized the Standard is being maintained and no explanation as to the distribution of shares will be made by officials of the corporation or its counsel. While nearly all, if not all, of the 6,000 shareholders are at sea, espe cially in the matter of fractional divisions based on relative values, the Standard only reiterates its first brief announcement of its Intentions to dis tribute its stock. TO SWAMP THE LORDS. A Threat That Always Brings Eng land's Upper House to Terms. To override tbe veto of tbe bouse of lords by a wholesale creation of peers is a plan that bas been often threatened, but hardly ever put into prac tice. It certainly places the king in a very unenviable predicament so much so that in 1719. after a crisis of tbe kind. . George I. caused to be Intro duced into the lords a bill for limiting the power of tbe sovereign to create peers, a sort of royal self denying or dinance. The measure was twice passed in the lords, but twice rejected by tbe com mons, which was lucky, for had it been carried It would bare made tbe bouse of lords an almost unchangeable body, entirely beyond tbe control of king or minister or commons. . Tbe nearest approach that was ever made to "swamping tbe lords" was Id 1832, when the fate of the great re form bill trecibled in tbe balance. Over and over again tne measure naa DeeD passed by the commons, only to be re Jected by tbe lords. Tbe country was furious. Payment of taxes was re fused. Riots broke out everywhere. The prime minister. Lord Qrey, went to the king and begged him to create new peers to carry the bill. His majesty refused, and tbe ministry re signed. The king, however, presently changed bis mind and. fearing a revo lution, agreed to tbe creation of a hundred new peers, "or more If necessary." Then, very reluctantly, the upper house gave way. and the bill became law. London Family Herald. mm,. - - THE DEATH DICE. A Murder Case In Which They Re turned a Just Verdict. The German emperor some time ago presented to the Hohenzollern museum the "death dice" with which one of bis ancestors decided a difficult case In the seventeenth century. Tbe history of these dice is generally given as follows: A young girl bad been murdered. Suspicion fell upon two young soldiers. Ralph and Alfred, who were suitors for her hand. They both denied their guilt, and even torture failed to ex tract a confession from either. Then Elector Frederick William decided to cut the knot by means of the dice box. The two soldiers should throw for their lives and the loser should be executed as the murderer. The event was celebrated with great solemnity. Ralph had the first chance and threw sixes. . the highest possible number. Tbe dice box was then given to Alfred. He fell on his knees and prayed. Then he rose to his feet and threw the dice with such force that one of them was broken. The whole one showed six, tbe broken one also gave six on the larger portion, and the fragment split off showed one. This was a total of thirteen, one be yond Ralph's throw. The audience held its breath in amazement "God bas spoken!" cried the prince. Ralph, appalled by what he regarded as a sign from heaven, confessed his guilt and was sentenced to deathsChicago Record-Herald. A ftecdrd in Uovernors.

" - v THE RIVER NILE , Egypt Would Be a Wilderness but For This Wonderful Stream. The Nile is probably the most wonderful river In tbe world. It bas made Egypt possible by turning an arid wilderness into the richest land lit the world. It has provided at the same time an admirable commercial highway and made easy tbe transportation of building materials. Tbe ancient Egyptians were thus enabled to utilize the granite of Assuan for the splendid structures of tbe hundred gated Thebes and of Memphis and even for those on Tanis. on tbe Mediterranean coast. At a time when the people of the British Isles were clad In skins of wild beasts and offered human sacrifices upon the stone altars of tbe Druids Egypt was the center of a rich and refined civilization. Most of tbe de velopment of Egypt was due to the Nile, which not only watered and fertilized the soil anuually. but was and Is one of tbe best oatural highways in tbe world. From tbe beginning of winter to the end of spring that fa. while tbe Nile Is navigable tbe uortb wind blows steadily np tbe stream with sufficient force to drive sailing boats against tbe current at a rah pace, while, on the other hand, tbe enrrent is strong enongb to carry a boat without sail? down against tbe wtud except when it blows a gale. That Is why tbe aueleui Egyptians did not need steam powet nor electric motors for the Immen' commerce that covered the Nile uoi for barges carrying building materials for buudreds of miles.

Though the British took possession of Astoria fort in the war of 1812 and renamed the place Fort George, the place was restored to Amarica after the treaty of peace with American claims of settlement unimpaired.
