acres of land. Many orders have been
bestowed upon the carl. Tho king of
Spain has conferred on him the grand
cross of the Order of Charles III. and
tho grand cross of Isabella the Catho

Edgar Allan Poe Rejected.
Two years ago there was an election

iFamo of the New York university,
iStrange as It may seem, not enough
votes were cast for Poe by those en
titled to a Tolce In the matter to se
cure his Inclusion In this charmed cir
cle. In 1010 another election will take
.place, and It la predicted by Richard
Watson Glider of the Century and by
letters competent to Judge that the re

a change In wrttaont baa occurred In

and
Interesting Features of the Work as
Shown In the Reports of the State
Grange Meetings.
One of the most active grange states
in the Union Is the old Pine Tree
State, which has a membership ol
05,000 and Is active in everything that
pertains to the Interest of the great
Order. Without going into a detailed
report of the last meeting, it will be
sufficient to note some of the resolu
tions that were adopted. Dr. Leon S.
Merrill, for the dniry committee, said
that new laws were needed covering
the dairy interests and demanded of
the grange to present the subject to
the lncomlug legislature. iMIry herds
must bo improved and salary rules
enforced. He believed that the sweel
cream industry should be encouraged
and that farmers should co-operate
with the national immigration commis
sioner in securing good farm help. B.
Walker McKeen, for the committee on
education, said, "There is an unbridg-
ed chasm between the schools and the
college, and wo should try to discover
some way to bridge it." He believed
that normal school institutes would be
a great nld, but they should be an
auxiliary to the farmers' institute.
Agriculture should be taught in rural
schools. Sanitary inspection of the
schools was advocated, and the com
mittee urged that the legislative com
mittee use Ub influence in this matter,
The grange placed Itself on record a3
opposed to any change in the present
arbitration clause of the Insurance
law. Tho committee on co-operation
emphasized the Importance of getting
together to buy and sell nnd urged that
this subject be given Its proper place
in the lecturer's hour in each subordi
nate gruugu. A class of about 500
took the sixth degree. Invitations for
the next meeting were received from
Augusta and Bangor.
NEW HAMPSHIRE GRANGE.
Excellent Reports From State Meeting
Held at Portsmouth.
What is considered to have been one
of tho most successful meetings of the
New Hampshire state grange ever held
wns Its December meeting this year.
There were fully 1,500 Patrons present
on the busy day of the session. A
sixth degree class of 2S4 was initiated.
The only election this year was to the
executive committee, which resulted in
the re-election of A. J. Richardson of
Littleton.
The report of the lecturer showing
the literary work done in the subordi
nate granges during the year was re
plete with Information. Until we look
at these figures one can scarcely com
prehend the amount of work that Is
done during the lecturer's hour in the
various subordinate grange meetings.
During the year there have boon deliv
ered In the subordinate granges of
New Hampshire 4,891 vocal and 4,11"
Instrumental selections of music, 0,024
readings nnd recitations, 1,371 essays,
823 addresses, 87 dramas, 280 farces,
503 tableaux; there have been 2,029
discussions participated In by 14,091
disputants, nnd the total attendance
at these exercises was 109,710; 203
granges had 002 disputants discuss the
nrticles of business in the town war
rants; they were beard by 7,000 people.
The 172 essays on "Practical Forestry"
In April were given before 4,011 per
sons; 187 discussions on "Advertising
Natural Attractions," participated in
by 023 speakers, were listened to by
3,770, and 191 granges considered the
advisability of a permanent homo for
the state grange, with an adverse sen
timent. Fifty-seven granges have prop
erty valued at upward of $1,000, and
fifty-six own halls. The total value of
subordinate grange property in the
state is $159,025.
RHODE ISLAND GRANGE.
Order Growing In Influence State
Master Marchant Re-elected.
Rhodo Island is a small stato grange,
but it has a very active state grange
organization under the leadership of
State Master Marchant, who at this
session was elected for the fourth
term. The Order has become quite a
decided influence with the farmers and
with state legislation.
One question that was discussed
with considerable vigor related to the
state board of health, which was quite
severely criticised by tho stato master
In his annual address and by many
other speakers because It was not
more In touch with the farmers. The
criticism was largely based on the fact
that the department of health had
charged that the epidemic of typhoid
In tho city of Providence had emanated
from a farm In West Kingston which
had been officially Inspected and given
ft clean bill of health. Then after a
cursory Investigation It was stated
that the farm was the source of ty
phoid Infection.
The secretary reported the total
grange membership In the state at
about 8,000 In thirty-two granges. The
other matters discussed were the pro
tection laws against deer, forest flra
protection, grange fire Insurance, par
cels post and rural free deliveries.
NEW SHORT STORIES
The Trial of Leary.
Joseph M. Patterson, Chicago's mil
lionaire novelist, was discussing a
Judge whom he believed to be corrupt
"The way he conducted that trial,"
said Mr. Patterson bitterly, "remind
ed me of the trial of 'Red Face' Leary,
the Tombstone horse thief.
"There was tremendous excitement
In Tombstone when Red Face was
captured. A dozen men' were hustled
Into the poker room of the Lone Dog
and commanded to consider them
selves a jury and to pnss a verdict on
the notorious thief.
"The men went Into the accusations
pretty thoroughly. There wns no evi
dence against Red Face in this case.
He wns a villain, but in strict justice
they must pronounce" him innocent at
this time.
"After banging a long time on the
poker room door the town was full
of noise and excitement the jurymen
"NOT GUILTY, EH?" SAID THE JUDGE
were let out. They found themselves
In the bar amid a crowd of boisterous
dtlzens.
" 'What's ycr verdict, gents?' Judge
Townsend asked.
" 'Not guiliy,' said the foreman.
"An ominous, growling sound arose.
Frowning glances were exchanged.
Bronzed hands fingered pistol butts
nervously.
"'Not guilty, eh?" said the judge,
ne bit his Up and hesitated in a puz
zled way. Then be smiled and said:
" 'Gents, you'll have to go back to
the poker room and ' reconsider that
there verdict o' yourn.'
"'That's right! Back with 'em, the
fools!' roared the crowd.
"And the jury was thrust uncere
moniously back into the poker room
again.
"They knew now what was expect
ed of them, and they soon came forth
and declared that they found Red
Face Leary guilty.
"At this a murmur of relief passed
around the bar, and the judge said
contentedly:
" 'Guilty, eh? Well, that's more like
It. Gentlemen of the Jury, you can
now disperse. We hanged the prison
er two hours ngo.' "
A Discussion on the Fly,
Inn Mnclaren used to tell a story of
two Scots worthies, douce elders of
the kirk, who found themselves alone
In the compartment of a railway car
riage traveling in Perthshire, and,
thrown upon each other for company,
they fastened on a knotty point In
theology to beguile the time. The
subject of controversy was whether a
man Is saved by faith or works. Tho
discussion became heated, and tho
train drew up at the destination of
one of tho debaters not a moment too
soon. Loath to give up the argument,
they continued to wrangle until tho
train began to move out of tho station,
and the discharged passenger had to
run along the platform to eko out the
precious moments left for a last word.
Tho subject seemed to hang fire for a
perilous moment the train was ac
celerating its speed when back from
the figure leaning far out of the car
riage window came the cry, "Hebrews
-ten-thirty-eight!" ("The Just shall
live by faith.") Quick as lightning tho
other flung after the receding anti
nomlan, "James first twenty-four 1"
("By works a man is justified and not
by faith only.")

Dr. Smith Jelliefe. the alienist, was

"Blank," he said of a certain sena

of my boyhood.
"This minister one Sunday morning
spread before him on the reading desk
a very thick packet of notes and
launched into a long, dry, heavy ser
mon.
"The reading of the sermon absorb
ed him. He did not once lift his eyes.
On toward the end, however, happen
ing to glance up, he perceived almost
tho entire congregation to be sound
asleep.
"The minister frowned and paused.
He struck the desk a resounding blow
that awakened his parishioners. Then.
he said:
" 'My good friends, this sermon cost
me a great deal of labor, and I do not
think yon bare riven it the attention
It deserves. I shall therefore repeat It

pity for any one that had to dig a

"I don't need no pity," said tho boy
