THE FRATERNAL cIRcLE

Although a comparatively new institu-
ton, the sentiment of the members is
that it has ceased to be an experiment
and it is now a fixed success. New lodges
are being formed in all parts of the United
States, and the old ones are growing very
rapidly as has been proven by Forestic
Lodge No. 121 (Which is in the midst of a
forest of lodges, there being seventeen or
eighteen in this city, who are gaining
from three TO five members every meet
ing. The benefits of this order are:s200
payable in two years, SIS per week sick
benefit, and 81 900 payable at death. so
that in joining this order one insures him
self in health. sickness and death, and at
about the same price he would have to
pay for death benefit aIones The ways
and means of doing this will be thorough
ly explained by any officer or member of
Forestic Lodge, the officers of which are:--
=. McConnin ". 2. president; j. T. De-
Rancy, w. president; E. Stout. W. vice
president; p. j. McKepna, w. secretary;

That means saarkle and gladness and good
will.
Fretful lines at the mouth corners don't
come from laughing. The weary ones
around the eyes have another origin. But

Tnh THREE BACHELORS,

In their shattered room when the sun shont
Not one of them felt he must rise till noon,
Or take his breakfast till by and by;
For single,men may happily sleep
A pillow is good and breakfast will keep
Till ten O'Clock in the morning
Three fair maids smiled ON these bachelors
On these bachelors three when they came to

They waltzed, they sang, they had high tea,
And had their accomplishments quickly known;
For 1t matters not If bachelors sleep,
The maids are awake quite soon In the week
And sometimes rise In the morning.
Three married men jumped when the sun arose,
And left their pillows in swift dismay;
They felt for their boots, they grabbed their

And thoroughly realized 1t was day;
For women will never let men sleep

The Lost Child.

| Rosamond's father was a blacksmith
and worked all day at the forge, hammer.
| ing out steel and iron horseshoes for the
horses and donkeys. Rosamond liked te
watch the sparks which flew from the iror
as he brought his heavy hammer down
| upon the anvil.
| She had never been at school, but one
day her father said. "Wife, think tina,
our little girl should go to school. We
| shall miss her, but think we will have to
send her for she is now seven years old. u
So her mother bought her little red
and white basket in which to carry Ter
| dinner, for the distance was so great she
could not come home at noon.
The next morning she led her little girl
to the school house herself and said to the
teacher, 81 have brought you little new
scholar"
And the teacher kissed Rosamond. and
said she thought they should get on very
smoothly together; and SO they did.
Everything went nicely for two or three
weeks. Rosamond liked her school even
better than the blacksmith's shop. Every
morning she took her little red and. white
basket and trudged along through the
woods to the school house every morning
her dear old doggie Sam went with her as
far as the school house door, and then ran
home to take care of the house and shop,
One night Rosamond did not come home
at the usual time. Her father was alarmed
and started to look for her, taking Sam
with him. They went quite long way
toward the school house through the
woods. They saw nothing of her.
But as they came to little path leading
to the left Sam would go no farther. He
stood looking that way, barking as loudly
as ne could, "Bow-wow-wow He
seemed to say, Come this way come
this wayp
The father did not know what to make
OF it, as ne had never seen Sam act so be-
fore. But he thought he would walk that
way and see what it meant.
They went on and on for long wav
Sam smelling sharply all along the path
All at once he sprang ahead of his master
with loud "Bow-wow |" which seemed
to say, Found her I" and rushed behind
large oak tree.
when his master reached the tree, there
was his little girl fast asleep among the
fallen leaves and acorns. Sam spranp at |
her and kissed her awake, and she rubbed |
her eyes in surprise to find herself there. |
Her father took her in her arms and car
ried her home, for she had lost her wav
and was very tired. And If it had not |
been Tor Sam do not know that he ever |
would have found her
Rosamond never took that way again to |
30 to school, but kept straight along the |
well beaten road, although It was farther
han the way through the woods.-Er.
