fraudulent class of script known as floats

title can be given, and Is, OF course, not so
valuable. A deed can be gotten from the

GRAND LODGE, |. o. G. T., or N. Y.
Ex. I'm rep. of G. w. S.

Ex. I'm rep. of g. W. S.
In tho face Of far greater obstacles
than we have ever before encoun.
tered in the work of the Order, we
have organized far greater number
of new lodges since the last session
of.ths Grand lodge than during any
other like period in the last ten years
Hard times and tough old winter,
with deep snow and impossible
roads, have conspired together to
stand in the way of our accomplish
ments, but we have the pleasure of
announcing the organization OF 100
New LODGES. This achievement is
all the more gratifying because Of
the heavy odds against which it has
been won. The snow is gone, the
roads ore settled, and it is now a
glorious time for work. There are
three months before the Grand
Lodge session. We can just as we'll
have fifty more new lodges in that
time as not. Let each County Dep
uty give US at least one, and we will
accomplish much more. There is
not County Deputy but can do
that if he tries. The Grand Lodge
DONATES the charter and books to
each new lodge, and the officer in
stituting it receives the charter fee
for his expenses and services in work
ing it up and organizing it. Re.
member that what wo do now we
shall have to rejoice over at the Ses-
sion. If we would laugh then, we
must work now.

GOOD TEMPLAR BREylTIES.

PRESTON STAR LODGE, Waterloo
county, Ontario, Canada, recently
dedicated one of the finest Good
Templar Halls to be found in the
Dominion. The hall is owned by
the lodge, and was built at a cost OF
$1,000.
The largest Good Templar lodge
ever Instituted in the United States
was organized Feb. 10, 1879, by Col
Hickman, Past r. w. G.. T., at COL
umbia, Boone county. Missouri, with
2S4 charter members, named Banner
Lodge, No. $50.
New HAMPSHIRE. - The four.
tssnth semi annual session of the
Grand lodge Of New Hampshire, was
opened at Concord, on April 2, Geo.
A. Bailey, G. w. c. T., presiding
The Grand Lodge Degree was con
ferred upon 6l candidates. Mrs
Emma P. Whittier, G. w. s., in her
report shows that there are forty
lodges working under the jurisdic
tion of the Grand Lodge, having
membership of about 1900.

We insert, below, that part Of the
report Of G. w. G. Kennedy, of this
jurisdiction, which refers to news.
paper organ for the Grand Lodge of
Good Templars, of w. T. and B. c.:
"oFFIcIAL ORGAN.
We should have an official organ
in some way. Without one we can.
not expect to prosper as other grand
lodges do that have their Temper
ancs organs. There was a commit.
tee appointed at our last session, for
the purpose of making a start; but
] am not cognizant of anything hav.
ing been done by them as yet. The
G. w. Sec. has donated portion of
the ARGUS for the benefit Of our Or.
der. would urge that more space
be procured in the ARGUS if we can.
not have paper all our own. The
question of Temperance cannot be
kept before tho reading community
without the aid of the press. Seed
sown broadcast over the land will
bring fruit eventually"
The following comprises that par
of the G. w. Secretary's report
bearing upon the same subject, ant

taking? 1t would materially increase
INV lahors; the treasury Of our Grand
Lodge already had burdens that were
too heavy for it to bear (and even II
it could stand the drain, | knew there
were certain unavoidable, though
none the less oBJECTIoNABLE, iea'
lures in the paper that should dabar
it from sanction as our official or.
GAM and then action could not well
be had until this session. | pre-
pared circular to the various lodges
in the Jurisdiction, in which I made
a proposition, AS A PRIVATE MEMBER
OF THE ORDER, to do the proposed
work in consideration that each lodge
would subscribe for two copies OF
the paper. Several Of our lodges
ssnt me a favorable reply, I started
the Temperance department. on the
18th of February last and have since
kept it up regularly, although the f.
nancial support which l counted on
to Justify mo in assuming such a
task has been but partially accorded.
The plan was wholly my own; and,
if I was wrong in executing it, /,
and not the Grand Lodge, should re-
ceive the blame. | may say here
that my motive was simply to accom-
plish SOMETHING in the line eontem
plated in our legislation of last year.
| have reason to believe that already
much good has resulted from the
venture, although it has involved ac-
tual financial loss to myself, and no
small amount Of labor besides,
That we NEED an official newspa-
per organ, is a proposition which has
already been answered repeatedly
and emphatically in the Affirmative;
that a paper founded for, and devot-
ed exclusively to, our interests,
would be a potent and valuable aid
to our growth, cannot be denied.
But do not vet see how we can
start journal, or even sUBsIDIzE
one, out of our present revenue; and
there seems as yet to have been no
practical way opened up for the es'
tablishing of special fund for that
purpose. We must therefore con-
tent ourselves with what we can do
until we become both numerically
and financially stronger.
The following is the report of a
special committe appointed to con-
slider the foregoing subject:
G. w. G. T., OFFICERS AND Mem.
BERs:-Your committee on Grand
Lodge Organ beg leave to report
that we have considered the matter;
and, owing to the state Of the Order
financially, do not deem it practica-
hle to undertake to establish Grand
Lodge organ at present. We would
recommend, however, that all Good
Tsmplars subscribe for some Of the
temperance papers that are already
estabIished-such as the National
Temperance Advocate" of New
York; the "Rescue," of California;
the "National Prohibitionist," Of St.
Louis, or others.

An Old Puzzle Rewritten.

"If you please, sir, I'm poor
boy, but I'm awfully smart, and l
want to work"
The storekeeper looked at his
customer in establishment. The
boy was a little bit of fellow, and
his chin came just over the top OF
the counter.
"Well," said the storekeeper,
"you seem to have pretty good idea
of yourself"
"That's So" said the boy 81 lost
my place cause was smart"
"All right, then, I'll show you
where you make a great mistake
when you say you're smart. Do
you see that jug over there p
"No, sir" said the boy, looking
hard at green box marked, "siN
gross safety pins"
"Not there way back in the
store"
"Oh, yes" said the boy.
"Now, that jug is full of vinegar
it holds eight quarts. I've an or
der for four quarts, but haven't any
empty measures excepting on
holding three and another holding
five quarts. Now, if you're az
smart as you think you are, per-
hops you can measure the fou'
quarts from the eight quarts b,
using the three and five."
81 can do it," said the boy, ''jus
as easy as fishing"
eff you do, I'll give you two dol
lars a week and your clothes. N
guessing, now, you must measur
exactly"
GAIL right" said the boy; "hav
YOUR tailor here in fifteen minute
to measure me, please"
The tailor might have come cal
lier, as the boy had the four quart
of vinegar measured out in les
than five minutes.
How did he do it!

During the long run Of "UncIe
Tom" in an Eastern city, says the
Philadelphia Press, the family OF the
gentle Eva went to housekeeping
and during the occupation of elder
forces a small boy-brother to Eva
(the Eva on this OCCASION being
Miss Lulu Prior)-strayed away
and was lost in the strange city.
Moving was suspended and hunt
ing commenced, but the child was
not found. Audiences must not be
disappointed, however, and so the
moor little sister was forced to ar
ray herself for her part, wash Oh
the tears and try and forget her
little brother was lost. But during
the evening the runaway was found,
and the parents, to relieve their
little daughters mind, took him
directly to the theatre.
The death scene of Eva was on
Topsy, with her apron on her head
crouched on the floor. Seeing out
of corner the recovered youth
Topsy said in a whisper, "Hold
your Nebuchadnezzar up.
Eva lay on the couch-St. Clai'
bent over her with the question
"What do you say, Eva darlingY
To which the dying child was
only to reply:
"Love--joy-peace," and fal
back dead upon the pillow.
just as Eva raised her head fee
bly,, lifted her hand and commenc
ed the broken sentences, she spice
the rebound brother. With q CT.
of Joy she extended her it'll
arms toward him and broke out:
"Oh, see-see, he's found! he
, there, and l never thought to SCI
my little brother again y The
recollecting her part, she gave
f; great gulp of fright, fell bacl
: systematically to the studied word
= and cried out, "Love-joy-peace
e and dropped her head upon tn
? pillow.

Y audience felt sure it was part {
