business will be on a . . .
And you ask why is this? Just because we must build up our country into abetter an: more
industrious condition. As times grow older we must learn our farmers to become mor inde-

Grand Master Nut M. Washer,
in his annual addresB to the M.
W. Grand lodge of Texas, passed
a beautiful eulopy, upon our lute
brother,president Wm. McKinley,
closing the eulopy with the fol-1
lowinp remarks:
"Brother McKinley beciime a Mason
in tho latter days of the Civil War under
the following unusual and very interest-
ing circumstances: 'While stationed
at Winchester, Va., where a hospital
for Confederate wounued was located.
Major MeKinley in making tho rounds
one afternoon with the regimental sur-
geon, noticed that the surgeon was on
intimate terms with several of the
Southern prisoners, and that to Home
he gavo money. His interest being
aroused, he asked tho reason of this un-
usual cordiality and was surprised to
loam that it was because of the fact that
they were brother Masons. Doing deep-
ly impressed by theseelrcum8tancos,and
expressing a wish to become a member
of a fraternity on which neither prison
bar nor rank of office had tho least effect
he presented his petition, and on tho
night of May t, 1WJ5, wes regularly
initiated as an entered apprentice Mason,
a Confederate chaplain acting as wor-
shipful master of the lodge; ho was ad-
vanced within two days to tho sublime
degree of Master Mason, and at his
death was a member of Kagle Lodge
N .t. 43, A. P. & A. M , at Canton, Ohio.
In 1883 ho was exalted to the sublime
degree of Royal Arch Mason, and ono
year later, while a member of Congress,
took tho vows of a Knight Templar in
Canton Commandery No 38.
"His conduct in life remained as pure
and spotless as the lambskin apron which
ho wore, and in his death he manifested
that noble courage and fortitude which
is born of tho sweet but simple faith in
a blessed immortality, and the hope of a
higher, and eternal life- the life of the
world to ct ne. 'Goodbye all his will
not outs, be done,' these were his last
words; they will live with us forever,
though we shall never see him again on
earth.

THF STORY OF
HOW IT HAPPENED.
The following* is takrn from
the Current Issue, published by
Wortham A Bonner, Auscin, Tex-
as :
For several days I have been
wabblinp around town like a crip-
pled dodo. Every man, woman
and child 1 met h a s asked,
"What's (he matter?" so appre-
ciating the deep interest and
gratification which the public
stiems to feel in me every time I
pet the worst of it, I propose to
tell the truth about the matter.
This is the way the trouble
'ripinatod. First, I had the tooth
ache. Kverybody suffers more
or less with tooth ache, except
very young babies and very old
' people.
I As a matter of fact, 1 don't see
what use we have for teeth, any-
way. We are born without them,
and get alonp very well until
they put in their appearance to
worry and pester us. If wo had
no teeth we would never have to
chew the rap or anything else.
We would have all our food in
liquid shape (which 1 really pre-
fer to all other sorts), and out-
side of a little swallowing we
would keep fat on less labor and
, less worry. • • • • •
Finding that tho tooth ache
'appeared to be heading my way,
I |'111 my helm hard a port, made
two or three nwift circles or loops,
and lit out for Dr. Henry E. Bax-
ter' dental office, over the First
National Bank. I was running
tin'' r every pound of steam I
could master, and bore down on
1 the d-nt.i! office like a compress
on ;i I'<n bale, and had to cast
anrh r before I could stop.
Then more troublo arose. 1
told I >r. Baxter that the evorlast-
iti blank tooth hurt. He said
ho would tak ' my word for it. He
^oi nil no the dry do< k, and 1
.'aid 1 wante d a drink. He sug-
«• ( t< l th; t from force of habit I
nii^ht be excused from mistaking
a dentist's office for a refresh-
ment resort. Then I asked him
if it hurt much to pull out a tooth
and he said it need not necessari-
ly hurt at all. He went on to ex-
plain that with a preparalion of
his own he made a local applica-
tion to the tooth, which so dis-
couraged it that it would not only
stop aching, but be glad to be
pulled out. He made a pretty
talk, but I didn't believe him.
How on earth was he to pull with-
out pain a big claw-hammer tooth,
that went clear through the jaw-
bone and clinched on tho under-
side like a shingle nail. Added
to this, my face was as sore
as a defeated candidate, and 1
had ripped and roared, and said
things that made me sick at tho
stomach, and wanted to die.
He finally persuaded me to let
him look at the wretched molar-
kangaroo that had been jumping
for forty-eight hours like a frop
on a hot pavement. After ex-
amining it he stated that, like the
Twenty* seventh Legislature, the
tooth was too bad for any further
use, and must be done away with
and forgotton.
He then made an application
of some sort of liquid, and said
he would feel of the tooth and see
if it was loose or solid. 1 warned
him to touch it gently. 1 also
requested him to see that 1 was
decently interred, as 1 was posi-
tive 1 would never come off that
dry dock alive. He asked mo to
open my mouth wide, and when
I did so ho said it was not at all
necessary to unbotton my whole
length, as he did not care to ex-
amine my liver, and added some-
thing about Billy Kersanda that
I did not exactly catch. I laid
back, rolled up my eyes like an
expiring calf and told him lo let .
me know when the big show
would begin. Ho kept fumbling
around in my mouth and at once
the tooth stopped aching. I sup-
posted to him that he need notl
pull it out, an it h id stopped hurt- j
inp, and a Mod that I would call ;
back in the evening if it gave me

any more trouble. The doctor
said he "hardly believed that
particular tooth would bother me
any more, as it had been pulled
out about ten minutes apo."
Then 1 got mad. 1 had expect-
ed to be killed, and wasn't even
hurt. In fact did not know the
wretched thing was out and felt
disappointed. It worries any-
body to make all preparations to
die and then miss the train. 1
soon got in a good humor, and
when the doctor got to explain-
ing up-to-date dental work to
me, I became so interested I pro-
posed to let him pull another
tooth in order to test the painless
method. Just how its done is a
mystery to me. 1 looked at that
preat big corn-bread masher,
with its three long, hooked pronps
that reached out like the arms of
a devil fish, and wondered how
