CHAUTAUQUA GRANGE HALL
A Benntlful Temple as the Head,
quarters For Patron of Husbandry.
The new grange hall at Chautauqua
Lake, N. Y., is an accomplished fact
It has been formally dedicated to the
use of Tatrons of Husbandry by appro
priate ceremony.
For many years, says Mrs. Eliza C.
Gifford in the Grange Bulletin, Chau
tauqua institute has set apart one dnj
during the two months of Its sumuiei
session as grange day, when all per
sons wearing the badge of the Older
are admitted to theground free. Tliii
courtesy is extended to no other organ
ization except the G. A. R. and t'heii
wives. Chautauqua recognizes thai
NEW GRANGE HALL, CHAUTAUQUA LAKE
N. X.
the grange is working along the samf
lines with the "Chautauqua, idoa"
namely, "the development of a hlghei
manhood and womanhood.". So, two
years ago, the P. of H. were invited tc
build a home of their own at this world
renowned educational center. As nr.
inducement the management offered tc
give the lot on which the building
should stand. As, however, no location
was at the disposal of the institution
which seemed desirable, the manage
ment generously gave the value $400
toward the two lots selected, the total
cost of which was $1.(300.
The structure is in the style of a
Doric temple, is built of concrete ou
expanded metal, with beautiful win
dows. The Interior is finished in Geor
gia pine. It was erected by Mr. Cyrus
E. Jones of Jamestown, as a memorial
to his father.

Topics For Discussion In the Grana-'v
The following topics may be found
suitable for consideration in subordi
nate granges:
"Are the game laws of advantage to
the farmer?"
"Has nature or education the pronto
Influence in the formation of charac
ter?" "Is the silo profitable for the farmei
who keeps but ton cows?"
"Socialism and how its success woul'
affect husbandry."
"Agricultural Inventions of the nine
toenth century and their effect on tin
farmer's interests."
"How mny the grange be of help tc
our common schools?"
"Should farmers produce as ucarl.v
ns possible all they consume?"
"Farm fencing kinds, expense, ef
fectiveuess, etc."
"The value to fanners of the rurnc
telephone."
The Grange Wins Ont.
A recent Issue of the Ohio Faruuv
states truth tersely when it says: "Thi
grange not only co-operates with legiti
mate progressive enterprises, but it
has pioneered and succeeded In mon
good work for the American fanner
than nil of Its contemporaries put to
gether. It forges ahead, makes unpop
ular Ideals popular. The secret of its
final success is that it has learned In
the long years of its experience with
all sorts of schemes to judge what h
best to do, what is possible and ren
sonnble and then to go after it with
steady, determined, level headed per
slstence that gradually melts away
opposition and at last wins out"
It is said that the idea of a market
controlled by the farmers themselves,
ns the new farmers' organization, with
headquarters in Thenix, Arlis., pro
poses, gave Chicago grain speculators
quite a Jolt.
There is a wonderful growth In
grange membership in nearly every
tate in the Union where the Order ex
ists. Two new Pomona granges were or
ganlaed recently in PenmylrtnU.
HUNTING QUEER PREY
Copyright. 1903, by C. B. Lewis.
We hud gone out to the Solldar reefs,
fifty miles to the south of Ceylon, to
capture if possible a living specimen of
the octopus or dsvllfish for the Bom
bay v museum. After arriving and an
choring the bark a safe distance from
the reefs we pulled in with the yawl to
look . for signs of the prey we were
after. We had every reason to believe
that he was "at home" In a shallow
cave at the base of a big rock, but we
had orders not to go too close.
Next morning two boats approached
the rocks from opposite sides, and Pro
fessor Grimshaw, who; had charge of
the expedition, landed to make a close
inspection. Our approach was made as
silently as 'possible, and the professor
removed his boots before landing.
There was no danger of the octopus
running away if he was there, but we
had some plans to lay in advance. Aft
er some spying about he was located In
the cavern spoken of, and the professor
was dismayed at the size of the crea
ture. He had counted five great tenta-l
cles, and the bulk of the octopus wiis
that of a big barrel. It was decided
that its feeding time would be about
high water, and at low water it might
come out to lie on the rocks or swim In
the channel. it was for low water we!
waited, and before the tide had run
out we landed on the rock again and
stretched two large fish nets across it
and weighted them at the corners with
stones to prevent their being carried
away.
In the channel we stretched other
nets, and at dead low water we hauled
off to see if anything would occur.
Something did. The octopus decided
to take a little ramble, and he came
down the channel toward our flotilla
When he reached the net and found
his progress checked he was furious
in an instant and did Just what we
hoped he would do. He seized it and
began pulling and hauling, and In a
minute or two he was all tangled ftp.
For the next quarter of an hour we
were treated to a rare exhibition. No
whale could have made the fuss that
monster did. In his struggles he threw
water twenty feet high and for fifty
feet around him, and now and then he
raised an arm high in the air and
swept it around him like n flail and
with such a swish as a limb would
make in the hands of a giant. The
net was of the strongest material, and
when he ceased to struggle we realized
that he was pretty well tangled up
We could do nothing more toward his
capture Just then, however, as the tide
had turned, and he retreated to his
lair, taking the nets with him and
making slow progress.
At 8 o'clock next norning we landed
on the rocks and found the nets all

a long a Dig squirt gun ana a large Jm
of chloroform, and when all was ready
we made a circuit to tbe west and got
as near as we dared to the cavern and
then began rolling stones into it. We
had not been at work over five minute
when the octopus was routed out. We
first saw one long tentacle shoot out
of the water and clutch the rock above,
and tiien the creature slowly and la
boriously drew Itself out.
The net had been bitten and broken
in many places, but still tangled about
him so as to greatly hamper his move
ments. Of the five arms only one was
entirely free. The monster must have
thought the attack was being made on
him from above, for he had no sooner
caught sight of the spread nets than
he went for them in a furious way. lie
was, of course, still further tangled up.
and the exhibition of the previous day
was nothing to this.
Nothing living could have broken
clear of that tangle, but we had a good
idea of the creature's strength by the
way he snapped ropes and cords here
and there. With one free tentacle he
picked up and hurled into the sea a
loose rock which two strong men could
not have moved.
It was a quarter of an hour before
the octopus was so entirely tangled in
the nets that he could struggle no
more, and we waited at least ten min
utes before approaching hlra. Then the
professor advanced with his squirt gun
charged from the Jar of chloroform,
and its contents were shot full In the
monster's face. In two minutes he lay
as If dead, and we then gol ropes and
straps and made him secure. Now and
then there was a shiver the full length
of the tentacles, nnd we hud to stand
back while the professor repeated the
dose, but at no time did the octopus re
gain full consciousness. When all was
ready we put planks under the body
and slid it down into the water, anil
after a hard two hours' work we go;
the mass aboard the bnrk and into i.
box prepared in advance.
Few people have ever seen a ful!
grown devilfish, as not above two or
three have ever been on exhibition
and those came ashore tl d inn
-shrunken. The weight of tli' fellow
ivas 510 pounds, and th stretch of each
tentacle was over eighteen feet. The
nlze of the tentacles at their base was
us large as the body of a boy ten your
old, and each was armed with over 200
disks or sucking cups. Had he got
three of his long arms around the body
of a whale and used the other two td
cling to some submerged rock his
whaleshlp would have stood no show
whatever.
The odor exhaled made us all more
or less sick and dizzy, nnd we were
glad enough when we had landed our
captive at Bombay. He is there today,
but only as a preserved, specimen. The
best of care was given him when trans
ferred to the museum, but in thp course
of five or six weekls he was dead. So
far as I know, however, he was the
only one of his kind ever taken alive.

To the Editor : A short time ago there
was published in your paper an item in
which I was accused of being the cause
and sole instigator of the trouble therein
mentioned between Herman Grimm and
his wife, Mrs. Sophia Grimm. The
man who thus unjustly assailed me has
the manhood to repent the wrong he

retraction for publication. Will you
kindly give the same prominenue in
