The Movement Toward Organized Charity.
/ From Various Ouarries.

The Movement Toward Organized Charity.
From Various Quarries.
There is a decided movement all over our
country toward organized charity. Many
good brethren of the old school still main
tain that this is unmasonic, because not
voluntary and individual, and therefore
bad in tendency and in practice. But the
prevailing idea is now that the epidemic
excels the sporadic method as means of
practical relief, and also that organized eff
fort does not exclude or excuse individual
dispensation. And so the homes for wild
ows and orphans and aged Masons are
springing up all over the country. H. H.

willfully disregard the provisions of the
head camp bylaws and permit saloon keep

RIDE A RAMBLER,
RIDE A WINNER.

How do we know Well,
look at the records at the track
on the 9th of June. 3 firsts
5 seconds and 3 thirds for the
Rambler. 3 frsts, no seconds
and third for the Cleveland.
l first, 3 seconds, no thirds
for the Tribune.
Then how about the great
Relay Race on the 4th of July.
You read in "The Star" that
the 5 miles was made in 10
minutes and % seconds by a
Tribune, but we are inclined
to think this is an error. TO
be sure this time was made by
a Tribune rider, but to do it
he had to have a Rambler,
and every one knows that Geo.
Martin, who holds the record
for fastest time in the Relay
Race, rode a Rambler Wheel
and thus got there. The wheels
we handle did not get their
reputation in a day, but after
a year of hard work on the
part of the makers, and now
the average racing man knows
Just about what to get fer
speed and wear. This is the
reason that out of the Is
wheels ridden in the Relay
Race 9 came from us.
Ladies Wheels for 1896 are
pretty wheels, and judging
from the way ours sell we are
sure that the ladies are fast
finding it out.
Don't forget the price, 500
on easy terms, and cheaper for
CASH. This is for 1896
Wheels, first grade, fully guar
anteed, don't pay ten or fifteen
dollars less sfor a low grade
wheel, and wish you had your
money back inside of a month
If you want to ride the
BEST, paste Rambler in you,
hat and start for
