H., No. 203. Whereas: After
the long and serious illness and
death of our worthy brother,
Johny Morgan, on November,
28th, 1908, at the Dalles, Oregon,
we are called upon to mourn the
loss of an 'enthusiastic member,
although he had belonged to our
order but a short time.
Whereas: In a few words we
desire to commemorate the excel
encesof our deceased brother,
who, we believe is receiving his
reward.. His friends say of him.
"He was a sweet spirited boy."
When the summons came he was
ready. His appearance after
death resembled one who was
asleep.
Therfore: Be it resolved by
Mayville Grange, that while we
sincerely mourn the loss of our
brother, we cherish his good name
and endeavor to emulate his vir
tues. Resolved; that in the
death of brother Morgan, his
father, mother, brothers, and
sisters have lost a cherished
member of their household, this
Grange a loyal advocate, the
community a promising boy.
Resolved: That we extend the
bereaved, family our profound
sympathy and lurnish them a
copy of these resolutions, that
we drape our charter in mourn
ing for thirty days, that these
resolutions be spread upon our
minutes and a copy sent the
County papers for publication,

Resolutions of esteem on the

whose death occurred, Decem

years, 10 months and 6 days.
Whereas, the unseen hand of
the great Master of the Universe
has entered our midst and re
moved from among us our be
loved Sister, Elizabeth Maley, a
trusted and honored member of
our order. - 1
Therefore, be it resolved: it is
but a just tribute to the memory
of our departed sister to say we
sincerely mourn her loss. She
was true to the Drincides of our
order and loved by all who knew
her.
Resolved, that the Granore ex
tend to the family and relatives
their heartfelt sympathy in this
their sad affliction: also that our
charter be draped in mourning
for a period of thirty days, and
that these resolutions be made
a part of the minutes of this sub

SOME PET ECONOMIES.

Saving String and raeer We Neve
Use Wasted MeeMelnee, '
Hardly person exists without tome
favorite economy, some little sau salves
tribute which be offers it the shrine of
thrift and by which be saves Just
nothing.
Borne people refuse to rut the string
of parcels and waste prectou minute
laboriously untying knots. Others
tore away scraps of lace and silk and
are delighted when a atray occasion
Jus titles their practice by waking see
of a boarded treasure. ' . '
I myself have a weakness for halt
sheets of note paper. 1 an annoyed ex
ceedingly when I receive a letter with,
the third page covered and the second
blank. It seems an opportunity missed.
Tet aa I rarely wake use of my piece
I can only keep them from a magpie
love of saving.
Apropos of this subject. I remember
a clergyman once telling we about aa
aunt of his who In her eagerness that
nothlug should be wasted Insisted upoa
drinking the remaining dose In any
medicine bottles that the Invalid la
the household bad been unable to fin
ish. This seems carrying a good principle
a little too far.-Loudon Black and

a abort time be had finished nearly
four acts of a play, which be entitled'
"Hector." Then came bis election aa a
brigadier general, and tbe manuscript
was thrown Into a desk, where be
found It again by chance In 1806. Na
poleon then sent for Luce de Lanctval,
gave him the maausrrtpt and directed
him to finish the plsy. This wss done,
but tbe player refused to accept It
When Napoleon returned to Paris from
the coronation at N spies be learned of
the contemptuous manner In which bis
work bad been treated. He demanded
the manuscript and wrote" across It;
"The players of tbe Comedle Fraa
rals will produce the tragedy which
In their stupidity they rejected. Napo

accepted. In three weeks It waa pro
duced before a brilliant audience, de
clared success, and the alleged au

cross of the Legion of Honor.
The Veydar.
The voyder was a large dish to
