Antiquity OF tho Order in Amcrlcn.
Along tho Trail.
Years before the Revolution Red Mems
societies existed in various parts of the col
onics and it is pointed to with pride that
the Boston Tea Party" was mn outcrop-
ping of the tendency to initiate in Il mc;ls-
urc the aborigines. During the war of
1879 n number of volunteer soldiers sta
toned ut Fort AIf1lin, near Philadelphia,
united in IL society of Red Men, the real
forcrunner Of the present order, for since
that timei it has had n continuous existence.
At the Columbus celebration in New
York city, at which the Red Men took so
prominent Il part in the night pageant,
many imagined them nothing but Tom,
Dick and Harry" dressed in Indian cos
TUNES. 1t was not realized that the thou
sand or more paraders represented the
oldest secret society of strictly American
origin and growth, and one purely indigo

given a trial on Jefferson street yester-

dust in the air was so thick 1t was
almost impossible ~ sec any distance

dust that compelled the merchants to
close their doors to keep the dust GU t.
The sweeper worked like charm and
cleaned up the street all right. All
they need is little water on the street
before using the sweeper.
