(}. \V. Squires, a farmer of
Savoy, Fannin county, is plow-
ing up his ruined crops of wheat
and outs and replanting pota-
toes and Mexican .lune corn,
lie thinks there will be more
money in potatoes than cotton.
That trip of President Mc-
Kinloy's promises to be a stren-
uous affair. About nine thou-
sand corner-stones are waiting
to be laid in his presence and
twice that number of infants
are waiting to be christened by
him. If he has to kiss 'em all
—just think of it!

Physicians are daily becom-
ing more interested in the com-
munication made recoil tly by H.
R. Gaylord, a professor of the
New York Pathological labora-
tory, that he has located the
cause of cancer in an animal
parasite. If his theory is sub-
stantiated. it will undoubtedly
awaken the hope that the dread
disease can be cured. This hope
it based 011 the belief that a
cancer antitoxin will be found
that will prove as rflicacious as
that used for diphtheria, tyh-
I^ Jioid fever and hydrophobia.
FOOD FOR MASONS.
The AnvKitTisr.u re-produce*
the following interesting Masonic
items from the columns of the
Texas Freemason:
Political persecution of freema-
sonry is about to be resumed in
Italy.
By all you suffer and all you
enjoy, try and bo mado bettor and
wiser.
Temperance of speech, as well
as temperance in drink, is a ma-
sonic virtue.
Sdeak 110 evil of any brother.
If you can say nothing good of
him, keep silent.
The widow's tears of gratitude
betray one of the most sacred se-
crets of freemasonry.
in Pennsylvania, besides a bi-
ble on the altar, a bible must be
on the master's pedestal.
There are six certificate mem-
bers in Houston. No other town
in the state has more than two.
Protect the feeble; encourage
the virtuous; urge the hesitating
in the pathway of duty to per-
severe.
The brother who concludes his
study of masonry with the ritual,
only gets a peep of it through the
cracks of the door.
Masonic work is injurious when
it is so j)oorly done that it pro-
duces no lasting impression for
good.—Hxchange.
There are now 69 brethren
holding certificates to teach the
work; the largest number that
ever held certificates in Texas.
Balloting for degrees cannot
be had in a Pennsylvania lodgo
until the members are duly noti-
fied of tho date, and name of the
applicant.
bear all the illd you have to
suffer in this world manfully, as
a man and a mason. Take what
the good God sends you with
thankfulness and praise.
In Pennsylvania there is no
territorial lodge jurisdiction, and
a man may petition any lodge in
the state for the degrees if ho has
been a resident the required time.
('apt. Wm. Ward, of the ill-
famed steamer Rio de Janiero
which recently foundered on a
rock in the Golden Gate, was a
member of California Lodge No.
t, San Francisco.
Remember you are one link in
tho vast chain in our universal
brotherhood, and each link is in
part responsible for tho entire
chain. Weaken one link, and
you imperil the whole.
January 1st, 1901, there were
49 inmates in the Masonic Home
for Indigent Masons of Pennylva-
nia, and their average age at
death for the past year was 75,
with an average residence of 2-
1-2 years.
The jurisdiction over rejected
material was limited to five years
by the Grand Lodge of Michigan
at its last annual communication,
and thus another Grand Lodge
has fallon out of the ranks of
"perpetual jurisdiction."
When a man is rejected by a
lodgo in Pennsylvania, and sub-
sequently gets the degrees in an-
other jurisdiction without the con-
sent of the rejecting lodge, the
Grand Master, by edict, dclares
'him clandestine, notwithstanding
the fact that he has is a legiti-
mate freemason in the jurisdic-
I tion where he received the de-
grees.
When one walks along the
streets and sees the great display
of masonic rings, charm, pins,
and other insignia, lie marvels at
the great strength ui' freemasonry,
but when he goes into the lodge
room and finds only the faithful
few, he is left but one conclusion,
A.nd that is that a good deal of
'freemasonry is external and not
i n te rn a 1.—III i nois Freom aso n.
Masonry is nothing more nor
less than moral and intellectual
enlightenment, and our principles
are being indorsed by all the
civilized nations of the world.
They are principles that go hand
in hand with the public school
system and good government,
and are the handmaids of civilza-
tions, whose influences have ex-
erted a mighty force upon the
people of our free land.—Joseph
Hall.
In April, 19(H), Solomon Lodge
! No. 1, of Charleston, S. C., re-
ceived a bible ordered by the
lodge in London, Fngland, in
1761, but never reached its des-
|
ticition for 140 years. About80
years ago it was bought second-
handed in the West lndias by
I ('apt. Samuel Beckett, of Mas-
i sachusetts, and it has been in his
family and descendants till the
I date above mentioned, when it
i was presented to the lodge for
1 which it was orginally intended
by a deputation of Massachusetts
freemasons.
A Denison special of the 21st,
says: The legislature of the
Cherokee Nation has enacted a
bill refusing cattle men permis-
| sion to bring their Texas cattle
1 into the Nation except between
tho first day of December and the
18th of February, and then at a
cost of 60 cents per head.
I'rof. Blackshear, of the Prai-
rie View College is preparing to
give President McKinley an I par-
ty a grand reception on the oc-
casion of his visit there next
month.
LIFE S.\ Viil> IN A GRAVK.
Kmilo Cam is once buried and
willing to be again in order to
show the efficacy of a device to
save life in case of premature
burial, arrived at New York a
few days ago, says a New York
dispatch to the Chicago Record.
As a part of his luggage Mr.
Cams brought with him the ap-
paratus which he himself tested
in such a novel way. The device
consists of a tube three and a half
inches in diameter, fitted over an
aperture in the coffin. At the top
of this tube is a hermetically
sealed box. On the breast of the
supposed dead body is placed a
ball, which is attached to a rod.
Tho least movement of the chest
or of tho body will be communi-
cated to the signal box above the
ground. The movement of the
body raises a spring which causes
a door in the box to fall over, ad-
mitting light and air to tho coffin.
It would bo possible for a man to
live for two days under such con-
ditions. The same motion causes
a boll to ring for half an hour. It
also sets off a rocket, which in
the night serves to call the atten-
tion of those in charge of the
cemetary.

It is said Mrs. Nation's "smash-
ing" business has netted her
$15,000, but that $620,000 will not
cover the amount of damage to
tho Btate, her crusades have
caused property to depreciate
and rents go down in towns she
has visited.

An Atchison woman has ac-
tually been married four times,

President E. S. Lewis of the
Interstate Merchants' associa-
tion, in speaking of the St.
Louis excursionists of business
men to stop at Bastrop on the
afternoon of May 8, and arrange
ments, said: "This /excursion

tative one and will include
every line of trade in St. Louis.
It will be run in a style that we
will not be ashamed of, and
will be a credit to St. Louis.
[The state of Texas was kind
enough to extend us tho invita-
tion and we will do our part to
make it of such a character that
I they will not regret it."
