what the Nights OF Honor are Doing for
Poor Humanity.

George A. DuBree, Deputy Grand
Dictator Of the Knights of Honor, a
well. known Philadelphian, and a noted
worker in societies visited Franklin
Lodge, Knights of Honor of Weissport,
Thursday evening. He addressed the
Lodge at length, on what the order had
done and on what it was.ss.doing, and
complimented Franklin Lodge, for
their work, their attendance and of
their good fraternal work and devotion
to their members The Knights of
Honor extend all over the United
States and Canada, and have a mem
bership of 10000. The orderis almost
20 years old, and has paid out to over
$4,000 families s3s,0O0,OOO during these
20 years in death claims.
Bro. DuBree, in his address said,
that every husband, father or son
should join the knights Of Honor and
then, when death visited the above
heads, $500, slUoO OF $1,000 would be
brought into Weissport, Lehighton and
adjoining towns, which communities
would all get an indirect part. This
order pays the above amount only at
death, the cost is but small: 81 to 50
carries $500; sl2 to s14, $1,000; s2O to s24,
carries $1,000. II is the grandest inter
est, any city or town can engage in,
building up such noble Orders as the
Knights Of Honor for death always
leaves a financial want, and our mer-
chants, manufacturers, physicians and
all would feel better, when our people
die TO know that in 30 days after death,
the family has a revenue coming in to
meet all liabilities. The speaker closed
his address by referring to the death of
T. +. Arner, who was a member of
Weissport branch of the Order and
whose widow received $1,000, and by
wishing the Lodge God speed. This
Order has buried two other Brothers,
David O'Brian and Dougless Packer,
their widows received $1,000. Let some
of your many readers go and see these
widows, and ask them what the Knights
