Two auto loads of Odd Fellows went
to Rockville last week Wednesday
evening to install the officers of that
lodge. Some 26 of the boys were go
ing, but in the face of the reported
big storm, but two cars were neces
sary to carry the bunch that went.
The trip down was made by one oar
without mishap, but from the locks
of the other car and occupants, their
journey was not altogether pleasant.
It was expected the trip home would
be bucking snow, but instead it was
mud, mud, mud the entire distance,
at times almost knee deep, and all
kinds of trouble to match, but the
material composed of the bunch that
went, knew no fail and would ndt let
such a little thing as a blizzard knuck
them out. The Rockville boys, after
installation did as they always do, fed
us well. Any one wanting to know
more about the trip, ask A. R. Jack.

EVIDENTLY HAD A CAPACIT'i
Appetite of “Egg King” Something fo:
the Ordinary Man to Regard
With Wonder.
A tall, gaunt young man entered th.
office of the Globe Museum and Fam
ily theater and asked for the manager
“What can I do for you?" inquiret
a pudgy' man in a checked suit.
“I want an engagement as a freak
in the curio hall."
“Who are you?”
“I am Enoch, the egg king.”
“What is your specialty?”
"I eat three dozen hen eggs, two
dozen duck eggs and one dozen goose
eggs at a single sitting.”
“I suppose you know our policy?”
“What’s that?”
“We give four shows every day.”
“I understand that.” ^
“And do you think you can do it?”
“X know I can.”
“On Saturdays we give as many as
six shows."
“And on some holidays we give a
performance every hour.”
The young man hesitated.
“In that case,” he finally said, “I
must have one thing understood be
fore I sign a contract.”
“What’s that?” asked the manager
“No matter how rushing business is
at the museum,’’ the egg king replied
“you gotta gimme time enough to eat

Life With Depth.
Many a life that seems most ex
posed to the heat of the day has abun
dant refreshing for other lives. It is
not always the outwardly sheltered
soul that can offer to others the hell*
of the deepest experiences. Close by
a dusty mountain road. In a hot and
swampy meadow, with no shade near
it, is a little spring among the grasses
There is a stick in the ground beside
it, with a cup thereon, and a sign,
“Cold Spring.” You hardly believe in
the sign until, tired traveler that you
are, you set your Ups to a cup of that
water. It is the coldest spring In the
region, bubbling up among the grasses
of the hot meadow, not gushing from
moss-grown rock on the mountainside.
The little meadow-spring has depth
and shelter known to Itself. Is this
not also the secret of the life of that
friend whose refreshing presence has
often meant so much to you 7—Sunday
