In the meantime a synopsU ls furnished by P. O. C. It. Ilradley. "The temporary mortuary fund enactment ls not n resolution, but a law passed by the xrand court convention and later approved by tho su premo cniei ranRer, ana ineroDy became opera tive and In full forco and effect upon July 1, 1U17. The G. C. K. ruled that It Is compulsory for all court, to loin thn fund fnr nn nntlnn Is given and the executive council must enforce the penalty prescribed, vvhkh 1 a nne of ."!, for failure of any court to make tho quarterly PaMnents, and the pcnvllilnc In like sum cneh recurrlns datu of noncompliance, wllh the addi tional liability of charges being preferred Such drastic action. It Is not anticipated, will become necessary, but even In fraternal bodies It Is a sad commentary upon humieii Inconsistency that some qulbbters aro so much wedded to petty self opinions that they lust eight of the noble principles Involved, and to milntaln their own narrow -gauged view, ofun obstruct b illlU tory tactics movements that should bo generously accepted. "Questions will arise that need solution and to nil honest, pertinent queries an answer will ho given, but to trlvlil, technical and unim portant play with words no heed will bo taken. It ls the time for action, not for Idle outbursts of opinions based upon personal whims, caprice nnd frivolous hair splitting of terms or phrases of mere dtbtto devotees seeking notoriety. "As to tho one cent a week ptr member as weekly payment, the law makes It mandatory to add It ns dues. It Is an extra sum nnd Bhould not bo taken from any other fund It is n per sonal eelf-Bacrlflce, as was the widow's mite, upon each Individual who Is actuated by a heart felt love for the flag, and national pride, manly generosity; and the truo spirit of fraternity should make every Porester discountenance any subterfugu that would ovnde the personal added trlbuto demanded ot Mm. "All members upon the ro'tcr, except enlisted military and such others as per capita tax aro exempted, must pay tho added jenny.

"The proclamation of Grand Chief Ranger Farley Is very explicit and clear In Intents nnd purposes, and all courts should give ready com pliance to Its plain statement of the law and act as they set forth. The new Impulse that has come to the K. of A. in this magnificent display of Its power to do good must not be handicapped. It was among the llrst of the creat fraternities to formulatn a plan that measures up to tho responsibilities that men united in ties of brotherhood owe tho nation's heroes, and In Us enactment not only does It mako assurance doubly sure as to tho mor tuary benefits of Its marts rs of liberty, but It also protects the local treasuries which are exempted from payment of all such claims, as the newly created fund Insures them."

CHRISTEN BABY AT WEDDING I CAN turn my eyes) Inside out and thnt Is something no other little clrl can do. I lay a long tlms this morning; thinking, and than Itowdy pushed his noso under my arm and I rubbed It and he wagged his tail and so the day was started. Sunday hid not been as good a day as I had expects!, but when I thought cf all my now clothe? and how I was going to make the kids at school elt up nnd take notice I felt better. So I got up and stirred tho everlasting pan cakes and was Just flopping them when my father came homo. I ate my pancakes sitting en his knee and telling him nit about taking tho cow to church. I nsked him whether I did right nnd ho said If I thought a thing was right that mado It right until some one told mo why It was wrong. So I kissed him nnd put some pancakes In my basket nnd Itowdy nnd I rambled to school nil dressed up nnd with my hair brushed nnd shining and a ribbon In It. I tried to climb the poplar when we got to school, but you cannot climb very well If ou havo shoes on, so I quit trying. Then the kids began to come. Ited and Kunlco and nil of them. They nil looked nt mo surprised, but they did not say any thing to mo. Ihmlco said to lied, "Some- nouy must havo lost a peacock around lied laughed as If It was a good hero.' Joke, though I do not think It Is right to laugh at any one's losing bo pretty a bird ns a peacock. Then tho little foreign girl camo and she was crying and her noe needed wiping. It was so cold, and her legs wero bluo and sho tried to get Into tho basement door to get warm, but couldn't. So 1 took her up through tho school and down the Inside stairs, whloh Is against the rules. But what do I care for rules when a little girl Is freezing: We sat on the bench for a long time while she got warm, but what was the use? She would only get cold again. So I pulled oft my beautiful new shoes and gave them to her and my silk stockings and she put them on and thanked me, but I did not say anything. I went up the stairs nnd left her thero and my eyes were full of tears and my hoart had a. pain In It that was hlggcr than It was. I did not stay at school; I Just went home and looked nt my father sleeping nil tired out from his night wntch Ing nnd wondered whether ho would nllss mo much If my mother should como to tnko mo to heaven. Then Itowdy and I went out nnd crawled under the house nnd nway up tuider tho steps where It was dark and stayed thero all day. Kor we did not want to see anybody. Itowdy lay with his noso In my lap nnd was sorry for me and that did not seem to help o. great deal. When It got dark we went to see If we could find a good picture show, but some thing got Into ono of my eyes nnd the more I rubbed It the more tt hurt At last I could stand It no longer, so I stopped a man nnd said, "For cat's sake, mister, thero ls something In my eye. Can ou get It out, please?" So ho took mo Into a store and wetted ono corner of his handkerchief and thon he took hold of my eyelashes and pulled and pushed down on tho top nnd turned my ejo wrong side out and It did not hurt. Then he wiped my cyo nnd told mo to blink, which I did nnd my eye came right side out ngatn. I thanked him and hurried homo to try tt myself. I can do It ns easy as anything.
