The baying of a pack of blood hounds through the wilderness of the Alleghany Mountains along the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad, between Denholin and Narrows, marks the trail of the fugitive high wayman who held up the Pittsburg and Northern Express Tuesda.v morning and alone forced a crew of live men to deliver 95000 in gol»i and #i!00 In new Lincoln pennies. The laughable stupidity of the nervy robber in throwing away tin . gold to hold tenatiously to the bag of pennies, assuming it is believed, that the latter being the heavier was the , bullion, does not lessen the desire of the posses to capture the man.

About Open Meetings—The Lecturer's Province—Best Time For Children's 1 Exercises Membership Contests. < Grange Lecture Courses. Question—What should be our policy In j regard to open meetings? s Answer—Make them Just as rare as the j conditions will warrant, and In some granges there is no need of ever having i one except on such necessary occasions i as Grand Army night, children's night, j etc., and even then attendance of outsld- ; " era should be confined to those especially associated with the evening in question, j Undoubtedly too many open meetings a, held. The privileges of the grange are to , often given free to those who ought to b> j members, and by so much does the Order j lose instead o£ gain by the practice. Question—To what extent is the lectur j er "in charge of the meeting" while the | literary program Is in progress? Answer—lt is a mistaken idea In many granges that during the lecture hour the . master is to give over all authority over the meeting to the bonds of the lecturer, , the oft repeated declaration of the mas- i . ter, "I now place the meeting in the hands of the lecturer," being in itself it ' misnomer. As a matter of fact, the mas ter is in charge of the meeting from the ilrst rap of the gavel until the closing benediction and should occupy his chair as much during the literary program as at any other time. The lecturer simply conducts the program features, but should not bo required to maintain order or oth erwise assume the functions of the mas ter. The authority of the latter never suspends during the progress of the grange meeting, and the proper function of the lecturer is always secondary to that of the master. A clear understand ing of this fact makes for pleasant rela tions and for the greatest success. Question—What is the best season for holding children's night? Answer—ln tho majority of granges June has been tlie most common month for entertaining the children, and this custom still largely prevails. Yet there Is a growing disposition to get away from the month of school graduations and church observances, both of which occupy so much of the time and strength of the children. A .luly date has beoii, adopted In many granges, while this particular evening is now often set for the second meeting night In September, thus secur ing tho assistance of the: teachers, who are invaluable helpers In training the chil dren. Question—ls there danger that competi tive nights will arouso friction among tin members? Answer—So far as reported very little | difficulty has ever arisen from such cause I though capes of this sort are not un ' known. Where they have occurred it has j been due simply to lack of tact on some ■ body's part and might as easily have grown out of any other occasion. How ever. the competitive night is rapidly tak ing 011 tho form of simply the two side presenting their respective program: without decision. Judges or forfeit. Thit method proves quite as satisfactory a. the other, leaves every spectator to Judgt for himself or herself which side di'l tin better and eliminates all chance of anj unpleasantness afterward. | Question—Can you tell us of any state ! where the grange has taken up the mat ter of lecture courses or attempted to do anything of that nature for Its rura j towns? Answer—New Hampshire Is making ai i extensive trial of just this plan and ha a well established lecture bureau, which furnishes line courses for the countrj towns. These lectures are highly spoken of and seem to meet a real need in the rural communities. The originator of th< bureau was the state lecturer, Richard Pattee of Plymouth, who has charge of the work and its extension. Inquiry from Mr. Pattee will secure whatever detail of the course may be desired.—Official Organ. A WORTHY TRIBUTE. O. H. Kelly, Founder of the Grange. l , Styled a World's Bercfactor. Today thero is living quietly In the city of Washington one whose name j deserves a place in the list of world'* benefactors, one who in his day and j time did much in his line of work and I sphere of action that is worthy of tin world's notice, the world's appreciation and the world's approbation. Tiic man is O. li. Kelly, the father of the grange. While there were nss<> ciated with him others who saw much promise in his plans for a great farm ers' organization, yet his was the mas ter mind and he the master workman | aud his policies, principles and public! interest the aroused public conscience and searching public concern. The movement which this remarkable man bequeathed to his countrymen can-not at the present lime be fully and fltlj estimated, yet we believe It is general ly accepted as a move in the right di rection, and the result of work thus started is to be in the final outcome one of such magnitude and importance as to command and secure the plaudits that we are wont to bestow on great undertakings that are followed b.v great public achievements.—W. N. Giles. The Grange Recognized. Congressman William Sulzer of New York In a speech before the house of representatives on April 8 on "Na tional Aid For Good Roads'' asked unanimous consent to print as a part of his remarks an address by Hon. N. J. BacheUler. master of the national grange, on this subject. Consent was granted, and the address appears in the Record. This is an Indication of at least one congressman's opluloii 011 the influence of the grange iu legisla tion. Keep on Keepin' On. If the day looks kinder gloomy An' your chances kinder slim.
