Lord Wolselev. Some Of them are
desperately brave. while others are
anything but heroes. The majority

way, talking Of tight places and war
correspondents remember an incl
dent that may interest you. 1t was
at the beginning Of the Ashantee cam
paign, Just after our landing; a square
built little man came up to me and said,
speaking slowly, and with an unmis-
taxable American accent:

self: I am the correspondent Of the
New York Herald. l."

short with What can I do for you. sir?'
He replied, imperturbably, with the
same exasperating slowness: Well

business.

fairly surrounded US. For few min
utes the position was critical, and every
man had to fight, for the enefly's fire
was poured in at close quarters. They
pressed upon us from all sides, lodging
from tree to tree, and continually edg-
ing closer, hoping to get hand to hand.
In the hottest of 1t my attention was
caught by a man in civilians clothes,
who was some fifteen or twenty yards
In front of me, and who was completely
surrounded by the advancing savages.
He seemed to pay no heed to the danger
he was in. but, kneeling on one knee.

by his danger and GOODNESS. AS our
main body came up and the savages
were driven back. l went forward to see
that no harm came to my civilian
friend. To my astonshment it was the
correspondent of the New York Herald,
and he began in the same glow, calm
way:

Again I interrupted him: You were

Independent Order Of
Reehabiges
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, Forti-
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 So 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
lDf PERSONS over age maSbecom hon.
orary members.
Female Tents, composed of white
females - years of age and upwards,
a Junior Branch of Boys from 10 to
16 years, and Juvenile Tents, for
Children of both sexes between the
ages of and Is 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 l. ..
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
incompetence, and ultimately hand
down to generations yet unborn, the
benefits of sobrietY.
