Thomas II. Walters Joined Quaker City
Council, No. 84, In February, 18S0, when 19
years old. lie became a pant officer and ac
quired an pnthuslasm for tho principles of
the order which has never waned. He with
drew from Quaker City Council and helped to
form Cohockalnk Council, No. 020. He was
always deeply Interested in Ita welfare and
was honored a number of times by being Its
representative to the Btate Council.
Desiring to do moro for the order, he and
Brother II. A. Magill, feeling that no more
tntlnl testimonial could be given to tho late
Brother-John R. Marlln, organized and named
a council after the latter on April 22, 1004.
The success ot this council is largely due to
the Indefatigable efforts of Brother Walters.
Its place Is among the most progressive and
enirietlc council. He has been the treasurer
Ince Us organization and Its representative
for a number of years.
Brother Walters has attended every session
ef the State Council Blnce 1803. In 1000 he
was elected by the Stato Council to the office
of national representative for a term of four
years. In 1008 he was appointed by the na
tional councilor to fill the honorable position
of deputy national councilor over the State of
New York, serving in that capacity for two
rears with honor to the order and credit to
himself, In 1010 he was elected State treas
urer of the order. Ills friends and members,
realizing his value to the order, elected him
to the office of State vlco councilor In 1011.
He served In the offices of State vice councilor,
Btate councilor nnd Junior past State coun
cilor with high honor and credit. He has Just
been, appointed a member of the national
Finance Committee. During his term on the
board of officers of the State Council there
a gain made In Pennsylvania of more than
13.000 new members. This was the largest
gain made In the State for a number of yearB,
and was duo In no email degree to the en
thmlsim that he Instilled Into the organiza
tion, Ills policy and slogan for the three
;rs on the lward was taken from this Idea:
4 Shall CaSS thrOUrh thiR WnrM tint nnnn
Any good, therefore, that I can do. or any
kindness I can show to anv hnmnn h.inf tt
- tto do it now. It me not defer or neglect it.
. "" " nDt po" ,n" wa again."
Since his retirement from the board of offl
h Is still one of the active members In
tB Btate and national councils, and John II.
Martin Council is his pride. It was through
the untiring and earnest work of Brother Wal
ters that Marlln Council Is the success it is
today. He has been instrumental in making
the young men ot the council "nnd them
Mls," his aim being to build character as
well aa patriotism.

no Wind blowing this afternoon. Why
not leavo them right here, and then
when wo get home you can take yDuf
time to picking them all up nicely?"
You see, Ned knew how neat and par
tlcular his sister wns about her dolls.
"All right, that's Just what I'll dot"
cried Mary Jane happily, And away eht
ran for her big sun hat. And off she
and Ned went to tho river.
Left nil by themselves, the paper dolls
looked nt each other dismally. "Just
when we wero nil having such ft. fins

go away and leave us? Didn't she re
member that we were to have the big
wedding and procession In flvo minutest
Didn't sho know wo would get tired sit
ting around In our best clothes?" But
there was no use In asking questions no
Mary Jane was there to answer them.
Aftor a whllo the dolls stopped fretting
and worrying, and began to wonder If
they couldn't plan something to do all
by themselves.
"Always before," sold ono of the big
gest dolls, "when wo havo been left
nlone wo hnvo been shut up tight In
tha pasteboard box. Now, maybe this t

"See tho worldl" exclaimed tho bride
lady doll. "How can I seo the world
with this long dress and train? And a
veil that covers mo nil over? If I only
had on a common dress I would go
with you."
"And wo have on our dress suits!" ex
clalmcd all tho gentlemen dolls In a
breath; "If only some one "would put on
our traveling suits for us we could go
with you."
"Wc can't go while we carry these
flower bankets," cried all the little chil
dren dolls, who were dressed as pages
nnd flower maids for tho wedding.
"Can't you plan something that we can
do with you?"
"Couldn't you walk around the yard In
those clothes?" he finally asked, "I
wouldn't think that would hurt dresses
or suits." And the paper dolls all
agreed with him. But how to go around
ecn the yard was the question.
Fortunately, Just at that very minute,
ono of the oak tree fairies came tripping
by and heard all tho paper dolls Bald.
'Excuso me," Interrupted the oak tree
fairy politely, when she saw the paper
dolls needed help. "Maybe I can be ot
assistance. It seems to me that you
need n breeze."
"Indeed, wo do!" cried the paper dolls
nil together, "we need one badly."
So the oak tree fairy slipped around
tho corner of tho house and got a breeze,
nnd tho paper dolls ono and all hopped
onto the little breeze's back and rods
nil over the yard.
They had n beautiful time, and they
