Chester, May 27.?The second aT;d i last day's proceedings of the S^uth Car. lina grand 1 dge of the Knights of Pythias was brought to success-; fill finish t'.is evening. Following a very late programme i las night the knigh s were about early this morning prepared for the delightful day's outing to Great Falls. The delgates were taken in au omobiles and carriages to the Seaboard j - Air Line railway sta.ion, where a J Pythian special ot many cars was j waitng to transport the knights to j Chester county's world famous hydro- j electric plant. The train pulled out a 9 o'clock and at 1 o'clock pulled j up at the beautiVul little stai-cn at j Great Falls, making the trip of 40 j miles in four nours. mere was some delay at Catawba Junction waiting for a train. As soon as everybody was out of i ihe train they journeyed to a shady retreat, where an appe izing dinner had been spread. The dinner was j given by the Southern Power com- > pany. After dinner the knights were shown the marvelous workings of the great elctric plant. They arr appeared to enjoy seeing how ihe many cities were lighted by this single plant. A tlia oicrV>to tVi.'a lrriiprVi i AI LCI OCUIUta. Liily vo Vil v came back to Chester. The following officers for the ensuing vei.r were unanimously chosen: Grand chancellor, Henry K. Osborne. Spartanburg; grand vice chancellor, Herbert E. Gyles, Aiken; grand prelate, Alya M. Lumpkin, Columbia; grand keeper of records and seal, C. D. Brown, Abbeville; grand master of exchequer, Wilson G. Harvey, Charleston; grand mas.er of arms, J. M. Oliver, Orangeburg; grand inn:er guard, E. R. Cox, Darlington; grand outer guard, H. A. McCormack, Nichols, and member of the beard of j publication, Thomas J. Arnold. Greenviil. Grand Prelate Herbert E. Gyles, of Aiken, in his annual report said t.iat i was his deliberate judgment, after lie past year of considerable study aud thought upon the Pythian situation, that a very great need of the domain is tha all officials of the order should unite i.i endeavoring -> - I en'orce a study of the laws and principles of the order upon the entire membership because we would thereby bec:me profoundly impressed and deeply imbued with tne beauty and vital importance of hose principles and carry them wi li us in our daily work in tne world. Pythianism is of but little service to a man if he appreciates the spirit cf th.1* order only while a tending some convention or while in he work of the lodge; those v^l ~ -nil Vin c r% rli r?r*nii crli 1 v Pi iiiVJipiCS i-i x U1U.

There were a large number of candidates and the xe:cises were concluded a little after daybreak today. The amateur play, "When Knig.itliood Was in Flower." which was produced by the Chester people last nigiit, made a grea hit with the "?00 knights who saw it. WAK\S AGAINST ALLEUKD IKXi CHOLKKA ( I'lMSS Government- Has Not Approved Any j Treatment Except the Protective Serum. Special to The Herald anu News. Washington, I). C\, May 28.?Evidence c<f what appears o be a well organized campaign to delude farmers throughout the country into buying an alleged cure for hog cholera under tie impression that this has been inves.igated and approved by the United Sta.es government, has reached the department of agriculture. Articles praising this medicine. Benetol by name, are beii g sent out widespread to newspapers. These articles are so! worded that it appears as if the departmen of agriculture had received reports from t/ie State 0." Minnesota showing that tho medicine had proved most beneficial. As a matter of fact he one rep:rt received by the depar -1 ment was an unofficial and unsolicit- I i ed statement sent prssumably from Uie prom:ters themselves. The department ataches no importance whatsoever fo this statement. It has no reason to believe in the efficiency of any proprietary cure for hog cholera and does not recommend any. Under certain conditions it urges farmers to protect heir stcck with anti-hogcholera serum but that is all. In connection with this attemp. it j may be said that the medicine, which is now put forward as good for hogs, was advertised some time ago as a means of killing tuberculosis, lypnoid, and cancer germs, according to an article published in ,he Journal of the American Medical association. At that time it was asserted that the army was in erssted in it. As *a ma ter of fact t.:e army was 110 more interested then tlia.i the department of agriculture is now. i In view of the evidence :hat the atempt to create this false impression is peisistent and widespread, all hog owners are \varned to communicate with the United Sta es autnorities be,:re accepting as true any sta eni-snt that the government recommends any reatment other than the serum already mention so.

Tii.- famus hobo wnose totem is smeared n half the posts and in all the saloons and poolrooms oi the city, the t -teni of the arrow, poin ed?here cast, there west?has cooked his last mulligan in tile yards far oi^t Decatur street. He has jolt* d for the las time over the crossings on the outskirts . i' the city and will never again wave farewell to A lanta from the shady side of a box-car. Tne heart that for fair y years was held in leash by wander-lust .ias been grippd by a stronger passion. A-Xo-i .:-as be1.;] filed by his own tailsman? t.ic arrow o' cupid; light o' love has won lie day; the world's wanderer has c.me to fair have.i in a li.tle Pennsylvania town. For A-Xo.-l is married. The .ramj> w..o made his aome from Suez to Sitka town lias settled down in a sixioomi apartment. He whose only bed ior half a life-time was a crocus-sack in a box-car, now slumbers on a flatbed mat- ress between whi e sheets:. And the daughter of an Erie car inspector is plus a g od husband, but the road ajd her restless sjiis are robbed of the greatest rover and the gamest heart of .hem all. Herring Joe brought '.he news tc> town. One night last weel' a slowIreig/.t whistled for the Simpson street cossing and Herring Joe swung off the last car, rolled down a bank and landed at the"Tee; of a brakeman. The brakeman tells the story. "'So hz\' 1 says, "'Here's a gaycat!" But the feller looks up at that a*d scowls and then he grins. And I knows him. See? It was that pockmarked r.Hinder Joe, Herring Joe. "'He gets up and brushes he cinders off and 1 shakes hands with him a::d asks hi mwhere he's bound. "Wes?' he says. 'Where it's hot.

He'd had 'im a job in Noou York it seems, where he landed ofeen a tramp schooner from Panima, bu't it gets too cold for o.Je so he blows after a week of it and grabs a Le.iigh Valley freight ,hat rides him till he's bounced at Erie. "'I was sneakin' off for file yards,' .J:e tells me, 'when all of a sudden .somebody calls my name. 1 looks all around, bu< there's n.) 'boes about, only a prosperous-lookin' gink in a gray suit. But he wa~ stridin' towarc me and he grabs my hand and rings it Hard and asks about my girl in Al to^nu. "'There's nought bu one man ever ! told about her. an' tiia< was A-Xo.-l. And blow me! if it wasn't A-Xo.-l himself, all cluttered up in clothes ;Jid taings wearin' a shave and a watchchain. "'And he takes me off to :.c swellsi-!o kin' r.ptrtm4 n you e;.er seed ;ind stuffs mo W::.h eats and sticks a real ci-gar in my mug and brings in Jie pleasanist-spoken dame I ever eed an ', says, kinder swellin' up his vest, "T is is my wife." I though every minut 1 would wake up and brush the dnw off my laigs djwn i the yards, but no such bad luck. It .v,is A-Xo.-i, just as 9 ciaoie as ever, out a reg-lar guy. And he tells me how bee's quit the road and setl-d down and married and that I'd better get back to A'i oona and look up that girl and do the same. " 'He said it was -I'lle only life and 'hough ho longed for the boys som?i t'nie and was onlj* to: glad to welcome :hem, br> - s never gon a ride t*~o rods again.'" ?o that \v w he story JJ'rring Joe told riie brak man while he warmed ::;:-:'l" in a cnbo so on he otifski'is )' At Id:'! a la.-t week.

His wooing i v as as haphazard as his life, a jump i i.i t!;e dark and a prayer to God, but j ! i' brought him safe to his own hear n-1 j stone after a life as tempestuous and j i ii at i. neetmg as a .waxen wi.iu s. Since tiie day he ran away from home a the age of eleven years and | became a yegginan's kid until :he ! win <>r of 1911. iiis heau: was in the j distance and he travelled the worid ' around, his only name?A-Xo.-l. What j ! his real name is. nobody knows, and j i the last person to tell you is A-Xo.-l j i himself. I I Somebody askca him when he J "made" Atlanta four years ago, but ! he only winked and whispred "sh-shj j List A-Xo.-l." I Th-v: was . hp man who drifted from I Chile to Alaska and back again to Nome for a third or a century, who beat his way I'or a half million miles, ! paying only $7.61 railroad fare in all those weary days, never drinking, moking or gambling, nis one passion the grip of far-off things that one must always chase bit: never run ro J earth. But one cold February night three years ago, a freight train la/bored through a stinging sleet storm in ne dark o a stop in the yards at Erie. Pa. In one of the box-cars, curled into a corner and shivering in his X cloon f'-ip cuv in^nPftfVr fnunri A-Xo.-l. Tiie ramp was perishing with cold. The car-inspector t:ok him to his shanty and gave him a warm bed behind the stove and par: of his midnight lunch. "You're my friends,*' A-Xo.-l told him when they said g:od-by. '"1 won't forget liis.' A (Jirl s Brown Eyes. Xor did he. Last November A-Xo.-l i gai:? visited E'ie and brough the inspector a present. The hobo was invited lo call at the inspector's house, " * * 1. ~ .4- fKA ?T-> ana ciia SO. i uere ntr met me i spector's daughter, Miss Mary Abigial I Trohoski, a high sch-ol graduate,)' twenty years old, and a finished musi- j cian. And here a girl's brown eyes did for A-No.-l what he had boen trying to do for a quarter of a cen.ury?give up the road before his body "greased the track" beneath the heavy wheels. A-Xo.-l turned his back on his old life. The tramp who passed up New V:rk ar'ter a twen.y-four hour visit, suddenly wanted to spend the rest of his life in trie, ra. me wauuwci whose only burden for thirty years was-' a tooth brush and a pocket dictionary, slipped int3 a furniture s ore and priced a piar.o and a CJinacloset.

And so they were married on January 28 of this year. A-No.-l gave his wife an automobile for a wedding present and to k her on a honeymoon. They rode in the Pullmau and A-Xo.-l never once thought of changing to the rods underneath. He brought her home to a sixroom fiat containing $2,000 worth of mahogany furniture, and a silver table set tha: cost he same sum and enough telegrams of congratulaion from railroad officials and prcm-> inent American citizens to fill a waste baske: as big as a house. And today you can sete A-No.-l sitting up in his front parlor"in his Krie flat as much the genial gentleman as ever. Perhaps he is carving great Irish po atoes in grotesque shapes of hJcrses and men and dyeing them in ail ;lie colors or trie rainoow, even as he sat and carved in the old Journal building on Broad street many years ago. He has taken to his home life with V all the love and directness "Willi which he took to <:he life of the 1 road. He knows that ' it is gjmething better and far more civilized than being a res less hcbo for the rest Ql his days. He does not hav to seek handouts now a:id he gets more pleasure looking out o( his window at the " Inhnnv I .havs" hiking their beats : lian he ver did when they were hun ing him through back alleys and yards heaped with scrap iron. At Rest at Last Perhaps a trial of smoke across the hills and the lonesome whistle of a freight train strikes to his soul at times and stirs :h:se cravings which will cling to him as long as life lasts, bu- the sight of trains nowadays brings with it, too, a % shiver of fear at tne remembrance ol the times he has grappleed wi:fr svudding iron and slung himself within inches of grinding wheels. ^ Once his haphazard life led him ^ to slumber in box cars and awakeniiigs in station houses, to dun tramping -hrough mud and wet to a bonfire kindled in the lee of a rail fleace, to the bullets of "he angry owiier whose wood he was burning waining over bis head. ? But today he creaks back in an easy chair, content to knl:w that he will wake in the morning with his own roof over his head, contenv to si: there holding the ha^d of the girl with t'.:e brown eyes and to sea what pictures of the world he wi&aes> ? i-? 1 Q'.l nina flumps hefore him and Ill lllC 1 VU A-VkM* w not in tbo sweep of country viewed from a percL f:n -he pin-wheel of a box-car. He is content with all cf man's conic 11 ment, k. owing the best of that , limited happiness given to man. So f long as he lives he will stick to his home and hom-folks. But nothing: J can take from him the memory of those days ion the open road beneath f the blue cf ;he sky and the stars cf 1 midnight. And sometimes they will pull his aeart-strivgs with the call of little voices ''out there" in the dark, for* '/ t-e wanderlust is a disease that nags vj :id p ".lis it victims?incurable, in- / satiable.
