BEVERLY OF
GRAUSTARK
Being the romantic and perilous adventures of an American
woman in her journey from St. Petersburg to Graustark,
during which she meets a prince in disguise who turns out
to be the "fairy prince" every woman expects to see
coming down the road, as related by
George Barr McCutcheon
To readers of "Graustark," "Brewster's Millions"
and other charming novels from McCutcheon' s pen the mere
announcement of his name is a guarantee of a good story.
"Graustark." as you may remember, is the romance Miss
Jeannette Gilder liked better than " The Prisoner of Zenda."
The story is beautifully illustrated by Heyer. Some of
the pictures are shown in reduced size in this advertisement.
We have secured " Beverly of Graustark "
FOR OUR COLUMNS
and will start it In an early issue, due notice of which will
appear later. Iook for it.

the preaching, however orthodox, may
be only cold water msieuu ui ""u6
water to make His name known (Isa.
What ne was and did those roriy
days between His resurrection and
visible ascension gives us some idea of
what we shall be and do in our resur-
-Haii bodies in His kingdom, or
which He had so much to say those
forty days (Acts i, 3). While this pres
"the mvstery of tue

BAror mid of the wheat and tares and
other parables; but. as He was sus
tained under all ins iriais vy i" jj
set before Him (Heb. xll, 2), so we,
like the disciples, may Joyfully con
tinue (52, 63) amid all discourage
ments to be His faithful witnesses.
A more full account of His ascension
Is found In Acts I, 9-11, where notice
the words "taken up" in verses 9, 11,
and also verses 2, 22. In that same
material but glorified body which
came out of the tomb, which could be
bandied and in which He could eat
and walk or vanish at pleasure, He
oo.wi tn the rfirht hand of God,
where as our High ITiest lie ever iiv
etu to make Intercession for us, sym
pathizing with us, for He was In all
points tempted like as we are.
We can scarcely understand the
amazement of the disciples as they
saw Him slowly and calmly, with lift
ed hands stretched out to bless them,
leave their midst and majestically -cend
skyward. They were lost to all
but their ascending Lord till the cloud
received Him out of their sight, auo
then they continued gazing up iuto
heaven, as if perchance they might ob
tain another glimpse or mm, uuui
they were recalled to earth by the
voice of two beside them, who said,
"This same Jesus which is tanen up
from you into heaven shall so come la
like manner as ye have seen Him go
Into heaven." This second coming i
Christ to end this age and bring in a
better one is the blessed hope of the
church (Tit. ii, 13) for wulcn we wan.
He will come to the air to receive us
to Himself (I Thess. iv, 10 18; I Cor.
xv, 23, 81, 82), and then a little later
He will come in glory, bringing all
His saints with Him to end this age
and set up His kingdom with Israel
as Its center (Col. Hi, 43; I Thess. Ill,
13). Then shall IIU feet stand again
on the very hill from which He as
cended, and Israel tibnll receive Him
at thetr Messiah (Zecb. xlv, 1-5; Isa.
xxv, 9); then shall be glory to Ud
and peace on earth.
What U B-t Poller I 8electi
Reprraentatlvea to State Grange T
rsnnrlnl forresDondence.
The season for electing delegates to
the various state granges to be held
from December to February is now
on. According to the custom now pre
vailing, the delegates are chosen from
the romona grange in counties where
there Is a romona, and in some in
stances the most efficient representa
tives find their way to the state grange.
In some cases they are not the most
efficient. The custom which prevails
in some counties of passing the Donors
nrmin.i to the subordinate granges In
the county does not always bring the
best representatives to tne rronr, yei
It mn v be onlv to the subordinate
granges that they share the honors
with each other. But even u uus
rinno the delegate at large should be
chosen because of his experience at
the state grange meetings and De one
nf tim niiiest men that the county can
select. The very ablest on the delegate
list may be found from granges in
every Order.
It has been suggested in a www"
grange paper that members of subor
dinate granges should select the state
grange officers they would like to see
elected and have their vote canvassed
and declared at the state grange meet
ing. Only such names as appear on
the bnllots sent In by the subordinate
rrniii? should be considered candi
dates. We do not favor this plan at
all. Rather than this we would prerer
to see nominations made in open
grange, the same as In political con
ventions, allowing the delegate wuu
placed his candidate In nomination,
say, ten minutes to set forth the
claims and qualifications of his candi
date. At present nominating speeches
are not allowed, and often members
cannot know of the qualifications
which a candidate possesses. Even in
the Pomona and subordinate granges
It Is not allowable to nominate candi
dates for office, yet it would save time
If this were permissible.
In a recent romona grange meeting
Ave iieiecrntes were to be elected to the
state grange. The plan of passing the
honors around among tue granges is
In vogue, and there was a desire on
the part of some of the officers to give
granges In a distant part or tne couniy
a representation, yet few present knew
who were representative men to select
This plan was resorted to: A commit
tee of five was appointed to present
list of ten names to represent those
granges that had not recently been
honored with a delegate. Out of those
ten names five were to be selected
delegates, thus allowing the members
of the Tomona a little choice in the
matter. This was found to save time,
and the result was satisfactory to all
concerned. Whether this plan would
be advisable la electing officers of
subordinate, Tomona or state granges

STATE GRANGE DELEGATES.
BaaU on Which Ther Are AlloHe
Explained.
It is not clear to all members of the
grange Just what the basis of repre
sentation in the state grange is. We
refer now to New York state particu
larly. Delegates are allotted to dif
ferent counties by the state grange
secretary upon reports received from
the subordinate granges for the quar
ter ending Sept. 80. The allotment to
made Nov. 15, and every grange In
the state Is notified of the number of
iontoa ti.nt the county will be en-
ucic,iiiv8 -
titled to in which it is located. Every
county is entitled to one delegate at
large, whether it has one grange ot
fifty. Then, In addition to the delegate
at large, the county is entitled to an
other for each full 400 members, nd
after that one delegate may be elected
for every fraction of 400 members ex
ceeding 200. Each alternate delegate
must be a matron. These delegates
are elected at the romona grange
meetings in counties where there is
Tv,iinii irrniiffo. If not. the county
deputy calls a meeting some time in
December of all the masters and past
masters and their wives who are
matrons, and they elect the delegates
from every county. Any fourth degree
member is eligible. If a male delegate
is accompanied by bis wife, be draws
five days' pay Instead of four, and the
same Is true If the delegate is a wo
man accompanied by her husband.
Delegates are paid $2.50 per oay oi
four days and 6 cents mileage one
way.

Among "new things" in grange work
during recent months are noted Ore
gon's vigorous lecture hour plans (in
cluding a literary, a travel and a geo
graphical topic, besides Its farm topics),
reunsylvanla's grange banks, New
York's and New Jersey's grange schol
arships In agricultural colleges
Ohio's borne and grange reading
courses. These are by no means all.
simply straws which show the trend of
a pretty strong grange wind, say you
not?
