Independent Order Of
Reohabites
In NORTH AMERICA.
THE OBJECTS AND AIMS.
Information of Interest to Temper
ance Workers and Those Seeking
a Refuge From the Tempta-
tions of Strong Drink.

NHE more important object of this
i Association is Mutual Benefit in
the exercises of Temperance, Forth
tude and Justice, securing to it's
membership sympathy and relief in
the event of death, the decent OBJ
servance of the necessary funeral
obsequies; and is based upon and
seeks, the extension of the principles
of Total Abstinence from all intoxi-
eating drinks.
The Order has three subordinate
branches, viz:
Primary Tents, composed of white
male persons between the ages of 16
and 30 years of age, who believe in
the existence and omnipotence Of
God and are willing to sign our pledge
of total abstinence, are eligible to
membership.
Persons over age may become hon.
orary members.
Female Tents, composed of white
females II years of age and upwards,
a Junior Branch of Boys from 10 to
IL years, and Juvenile Tents, for
Children of both sexes between the
ages of s and 16 years.
Each branch has service especially
adapted. 1t has been found that by
working in separate branches of the
organization, there is more freedom
of action than when all ages and
sexes are thrown together. Each
branch of the Order is represented in
the higher body, and fostering care
is exercised over all alike. Thus with
the men and women, girls and boys
all united under one head the I. D.
of R. is as an irresistible army NOV
ing on to victory.
The Order has, and will continue
to prove blessing to our country,
not only in proving an asylum for the
reformed drunkard, but by inducing
the sober and religious part of the
community to unite in securing the
rising generation from the evils of
intemperance, and ultimately hand
down to generations yet unborn, the
benefits of sobrietY.

Leigh Hunt had no sense either of
time Or of money-a grave fault, per-
haps an objectionable vice, in a man
who had wife and children depending
upon him. AS long as he lived he was
thriftless and needy, a lender and
borrower, SO generous that he could
never afford to be just, bringing upon

slant burden of debt and care How
reprehensible this was he seems never
to have felt Though he blames himself

reader of his autobiography is disposed
to feel sorry for Mrs. Hunt it is not
because her husband sets him the ex-

GEMS OF THOUGHT.
Nothing is SO strong as gentleness,
nothing SO gentle as real strength.


Nothing is so strong as gentleness,
nothlng SO gentle as real strength.
Obstacles are not always meant to
olock our way; oft times they are
intended to inspire us to courage and
effort, and thus to bring out our hid
den strength.
They serve God best who do their
simple duties,-not some fanciful
sacrifice at distance. but the plain,
homely, everyday task that lies be-
fore them
Modern heroism does not consist of
throwing away our lives on some fam
ciful field Of honor, but in enduring
successfully the little trials and
temptations Of everyday life.
To follow the highest law of our
being and strive for the love of God
and man means to make love and
truth and right supreme, and to per-
meate home and counting house and
shop and factory and school and as
sembly with their leaven.

DOOM OF THE NOVEL.
Discerned In the Window Where Bicycles
Are Exhibited.

Discerned In the Window Where Bicycles
Are Exhibited.
A deliver into literature has TINS 10
say about the bicycle:
Speaking as distinguished reviewer,
I am not ungrateful to the bicycle.
The more cycling the less novel read
ing, and therefore the smaller income
for the scribe who has to explain the
r4erits OF novelists to an INDECENT pup
lie
This merely commercial point does
not excite any misgiving III my nina
as to the civilizing influence of the cycle
manufacturer.
Windows in which bicycles are ex-
hibited for sale have for me the fascl-
nation used to find at the bookseller S.
Staring IN at window the other day,
was accosted by friend, who said:
$50 you're going to start cycling at
last! The very thing for a torpid liver!'
He descanted on my liver for some
minutes and then urged me on no &C
count to buy the particular brand of
bicycle was gazing at. 1t had secret
vices. 1t was possessed with a devil;
whereas, he knew a bicycle which
might make angels wings mott with
envy.
I explained that I had no desire to
ride bicycle, and he said with amaze
ment:
"Then why glue your nose to the
Window
Because I rejoice to read there the
doom of the English novel;"
He shook his head and went off to
spread the rumor among my friends
that was suffering from mental de-
rangement.
Publishers are said to be complaining
about the effects of the cycling cpl
demic on the book market. There is
sad decline of novel reading. Instead Of
buying books the young and middle
aged of both sexes spend their money
on bicycles.
Beauty does not languish whole aft
ernoon in hammock with a romance.
She "sco1ches'' amid the heat and dust
of a highway.
By his unsold copies the publisher
sits down and weeps when he remem-
bers the copious editions of other years.
Surely there is better plan than that.
Why dOesn It he become an expert cyclist
and lie in wait on the highroad for
novices who have deserted his books?
There is an apt story of Wesley which
Mr.. Birrell told the other day.
The evangelist was riding and over
took stranger. who was also mounted.
They fell to discussing religion, and
when the stranger learned that his
mentor was Wesley he turned to flee.
81 had the better horse, - remarks
Wesley in his journal, $50 l showed
him his heart all the way to Northamp-
ton. -
Why should not the publisher show
the beauties of his new novel to the less
cyclist? Should his COM
panion have a bad accident, how de-
lightful to thrust precious volume
into the hand Of the PROSTATE man and
ride away with the righteous glow of
good Samaritan. -Exchange

We live in country of which the principal
scourge is stomach trouble.
1t is more wide sprea d than any other dis
ease, and, very nearly, more dangerous.
One thing that makes it more dangerous is
that it is so little understood.
If it were better understood, it would be
more feared, more easily cured, less univer-
sal than it is now.
So, those who wish to be cured, take Shaker
Digestive Cordial because it goes to the root
of the trouble no other medicine does.
The pure, harmless, curative herbs and plants
of which it is composed: are what render it
certain and, at the same time, so gentle
cure.
1t helps and strengthens the stomach, puri-
fies and tones up the system.
