Become member Of the Texas Benevo-
lent Association 1t possesses every good
feature of the secret orders, is cheaper and
has no lodges, In referring to this Assocla-
ton the Waco Examiner says
We would If we could, have every me-
chanic with upliIcd hammer every pro
fessional man with pen poised on paper,
and every farmer with hand on the ploW-
handle, to hammer and write and pillow not
a moment till they had put their families
beyond calamity in ease OF their death; Tor
men have fallen dead before the hammer
and file and liiclcss fingers have dropped
the pen In the middle of word, and farm
crs have dropped dead before the turrow
was finished and if we could thus inspire
men TO haste in making provisions for wife
and family against death, we would unhes-
itatingly point out the Texas Benevolent
Association rs one conspicuous among the
the benevolent societies in whose member
ship man can find security for his family
in case of death.

Harry l.uhn's Reforms.

Harrisburg Correspondence Pittsburgh Post.
When the law OF 1879, Ia abolish the
stationery business. was passed. 1t com
PEELED members to furnish their own sta
tiOnery, rs the only stationery furnished
was for the standing committees and tie
officers of the House. The chic. clerk WAS
instructed to take charge of the supply, As
is his duty. Huhn saw his opportunity
and he brought down y good-'ooking
young man with auburn side whiskcrs to
fill the sclf-maGe Office of storekecpcr at
1000 for 100 days. Il was no trouble to
get it through George Halls appropria-
ton committee, only one member showing;
lie could not be convinced hy the bland
arguments of the boss Philadelphia rooster
and trimmer. Wolfe kicked against it as
unconstitutional, but the WHY Iuhn sue
ceed in getting the bill SO amended that
tho extra officer was not recognized, bat
Harry's appropriation WAS increased just
$1,000. RuIdiman, Hall and other phiia-
delphia members stood right up ror the
steal, but Geo. j. Mckee was the ONLY
one who dared to oppase it. The bat
tie against the rOoStcrs was hard
and continued Ill! the hour Of ad-
iournment. 1t will he resumed to morrow,
but have no doubt of its passage rs the
boys must be cared for in one way or the
other. Formerly POI members were sup
piled with more stationery than they
wanted. but now twenty-tour committees
are given handful each and it is Irt posed
to give man George Taylor, OF Phiiidel-
phia,) $1,000 for taking charge of the iEl-
mense supply. Wolfe stated in his re-
marks that lie was chairman of the .ju;iic-
iary (seneraD committee. which uses more
stationery than any other committee oi
the House. and to the honor Of the mem
bers not single sheet OF paper was
drawn from the state. That makes 10 diff
ference, however, and the bill must pass.
