The charm of fraternal societies is
the confidence men have i'm each other,
and the knowledge that they are band
ed together for good purposes. These
are not destroyed by any periods of
depression, but on the contrary it is
when times are hard and suffering pre-
walls that such associations shine forth
with added brilliancy.-Pacifc States

THE RIGHT KIND.

The merchant had arrived at his
Office as early as o'clock, and five
minutes after he got down to his desk
"A foxy-looking, bright-faced boy came
in. The merchant was reading, and
the boy, with his hat off, stood there
expectantly, but saying nothing. AT
the end of two minutes he coughed
slightly and spoke.
Excuse me, SIR" he said, shut I'm
in "a hurry"
The merchant looked up.
"What do you want?" he asked.

The merchant looked at the clock.

A leading fraternal speaker has well
said; "Tell your wife, your mother or
sister, with that same freedom and
frankness that you do your gentleman
friend, the true objects and benefits,
show them the constitution, bylaws,
rules of your order, in short, anything
and everything that you are at liberty
to tell any one outside of the order, and
you will remove at once, to a marked
degree, that feeling of suspicion and
distrust that now exists.

Visit the Sick.

There is nothing that will strengthen
the order as much as fraternal vista
tions. A brother confined to his home
and his room for many days is often
helped more by CHEEKY visit by a
member of his lodge than by the doc
tors medicines. Don Z sit down by him
and whine, but with cheering CONVEX
sation lead his thought for time away
from his troubles. 1t is not necessary
to tell him that he looks badly and that
you sympathize with him in his affiic-
tion-his glass too truly tells him the
first, and your visit and friendly words
show your interest in him.
Don't whine to him about such things
as may have gone amiss in the lodge
room, or over your own affairs, but tell
him of the pleasant happenings, and
show by your looks that all is well and
that the world is better and brighter,
and growing that way every cycle of
the sun. Let the magnetism of your
own soul create brightness and hope in
his. Remember the old proverb that
''as iron sharpeneth iron SO does the
face of man his friend" If you do
these things, your visit will do good
and your hour be well spent, but if you
can't, you had better remain away, and
within the shades of your own sur
roundings nurse the gloomy rumblings
of unsatisfied selfishness. x 5

SILVER IN MEXICO.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat in a re
cent issue contained the following edi'
torial paragraph"
Let those who are able to grasp the
financial paralysis which the fall in silver
has caused in Mexico try TO realize the
condition OF collapse which would have
taken place in the United States il this
country was on the silver basis, as il
would be before this time if Bryan had
been elected"
President Robinson, of the Mexican
Central Railway company-the principal
stock of which is owned in the United
States and Earope-telegraph the fol
lowing statement from the manager OF
one of the largest banking houses in that
country:
The recent fall in silver has tempo
rarily limited orders for foreign goods.
AS soon as our merchants become ac-
customed to the rate of exchange now
current there will be as much foreign
business done as ever. The domestic
business in the Republic is totally unaf-
fected, and the best proof is the increased
receipts OF the government, which amount
to more than ever before. There Is no
feeling of uneasiness in Mexico. The
Mexican government appears very easy
over present conditions and has no idea
OF changing its finances. 1t can meet a |
it's obligations promptly. The govern
ment has a surplus OF $6,0)0,O0J deposit
ed lin the Banco Nacional d. Mexico.
There are no failures OF importance in
the country, and absolutely no uneasy
feeling"
Gold exchanged at 220 per cent prem
ium and yet the president of the Mexican
Central railway says Mexico is prosper
Gus! The Globe-Democrat does not un-
tonishing to the Mexican statesman,
however, who hold with bmetallsts ev-
erywhere, that money is the creature OF
law; it is domestic and when the MeXi-
can government declares that silver shall
be standard money and that a certain
number OF grains OF silver shall be a dol
lar and that dollar shall be co.eqlal with
gold within her borders, it SO passes
throughout that republic. 1t is only
when the importer ships goods out OF the
country that there is any obstacle, while
the people, forced by the prevailing gold
standard in this country and Europe
reap the greater rewards in the stlmula
ton OF their own manufactures. This Is
what is making a great and thrifty ma
ton of a comparatively unprogressivt
people. Every mandatory that Mexico
is compelled to establish is only just Sc
much discrimination against our own III
dustries. This is too patent to need eX'
tended illustration. Mexico with its II
millions of population and a vastly 10.
ferior country in extent and diversity i;
holding her own against the United
States with 70 millions OF people on &
gold standard and the rest Of the COLE
standard nations OF the world. The full
recognition of silver by the United States
bimetallists claim, silver would be on a
parity with gold and wheat would be sell
ling at 81. 40 bushel and all other agri-
cultural p.oducts proportioGately bene,

The public Library.

There are now 100 volumes Of standard
literature in our public library and the
terms of membership within the reach OF
all. There are Ia life members who pay
one dollar for life certificate, non.as-
sessable and by the payment OF an an
nual fee OF one dollar or fifteen cents a
month, books may be taken by the life
members as often as needed. Transient
readers may obtain the benefits Of the
library for p cents month and four
months dues make them eligible for a
life membership. Mrs. Jennie Bartholet
is the librarian and books can he obtain
ed OF her on Wednesdays from to Up.
M, and on Saturdays from to p. m.
Ii is hoped that many persons from the
country desiring to beguile the long win
ter evenings with excellent reading mat
ter will become members. All those de-
string access to the library can make
application to the president, W. l.. Stein
veg, at the First National bank. The
library Is located IN the Syndicate block
Second and A streets. A liberal patron
age OF this Indispensable institution will
enable the trustees to purchase more
books and keep the library open longer

Some idea might be gathered Of the
advantage that would accrue TO the coast
states from the reopening of our silver
mines by the good fortune that is in store
for US by the boom in Alaskan gold
mines. The proportion the earth yields
in silver is about nineteen pounds OF the
white metal TO one pound Of gold. The
reconciliation OF silver would give All
impetus to business on this coast by the
opening up of the silver mines, which
Mr.. Lincoln said were the storehouse Of
the nation, that would lay in the shade
the mining excitement of the Yukon.
