vile, ILL.,, Head Consul of the order,
was then introduced to respond to
the greetings, which he did In q very
pleasing and delightful manner.
Mr.. Northcott is an enthusiastic
WoOdmau, and he at once made an
effort to make the order solid with
the ladies by saying that the first
thing . man does on joining the
order 10 to make solemn vow that
he will arise each morning before his
wife does and kindle the kitchen
fire. From this on he confined his
remarks to setting fourth the ad-
vaDtages to be derived from the
order and the low cost and reliability
OF its insurance feature. He cited
Kansas as the typical American
state, and proved his assertion by |
the tact that the order to which he |
belongs has such q marvellous /
growth within its borders. The
and fraternal features of |
that order being purely American,
his remarks were well put, aud cal
culsted to extend aud strengthen the
