States was about 100000, scarcely

The development of these fraternal
and benevolent organizations has been
largest in recent years because of the
extension Of what is known as the "sys-
TEN of sick benefits" Members have
been guaranteed certain means of
support in case of sickness and II pro
portonate return In the way Of life In
surance for the money paid In when
they die, and these features have serv-
ed to popularize the various oruers to
an extraordinary degree. In this re
spect also the organizations haye been

The aid which is given to members Is
In no sense charity and does not de-
preciate the recipients self-respect,
while ut the same time the public is re-
lieyed of many burdens which would
otherwise be imposed ON 1t. These or
ders, In caring for their sick and provid-
Ing for the families of their dead, are
really doing much of the work that
formerly was done by the church, only
they have enlarged this work to an i'm
mense extent. They are wholesome
factors In every community, and be-
sides the direct financial benefits they
distribute they exert moral influence
which cannot be overestimated.

POSEY'S PLUCKY PARSON.
Tic Started Grant aud Garfield on the
Road TO Military Fame.

One of the unique and heroic figures
of the West is Rev. j. +. Jaquess, of
Posey County, Indiana. He was one of
the lighting parsons of the war period
and has the undisputed distinction Of
having set Grant and Garfield on the
road to military fame.
The career of this man of the gos-
pei and gun is interesting. He was
born In the wilds of Indiana early in
the century, when pioneers were few.
As he grew up his educational facilities
were poor but he finally succeeded in
working his way through Asbury Col
lege and then began preaching In
southern Illinois. Those were rough
and ready days, but Jaquess was equal
to every emergency, and il needed,
could use his fists as we'll as any man
in the county. The way he could swing
and AK and handle horse, together
with his brilliant mental qualities,
made him an idol among the pioneers.
A decade before the civil war began he

Savages, we know, indulge in such
luxuries as grubs and locusts. but for
civilized white man to finish up his din
ner with dish of raw ants seems too
nasty to be credible. Yet in Mexico
it is the custom-and custom adopted
by plenty of colonists and visitors.
The ant eaten Is called the honey ant.
and is perhaps as curious an insect as
lives. With tiny head and legs, it has
a huge body as big as n large pea, and
this is yellow and swollen with excel
lent honey.
In each nest there are 800 or 400 Of
these honey ants, which are attended
by thousands of others. The honey ants
hang on to the roof of the cells in the
nest while the others feed them. They
are, in fact, living storehouses Of win
ter food. An observer says that if one
of the honey ants falls from his perch
worker will so and pick him up and
replace him. This is as if man were
to walk up the face of cliff carrying
n large buffalo or cart horse on his
back.

The recently published statistics of
the fraternal and benevolent associa-
tions of the United States present some
facts that may be surprising to per-
sons who have never looked into the
subject. The total membership Of these
orders Is 7,350000, of which number
about 100000 are Free Masons, more
than 100000 odd Fellows and about
500 900 knights of Pythias. The rest
ere scattered throughout many organ
izations, the best known of which are
the Ancient Order of Foresters and the
Ancient Order of United Workmen.

DANES IN AMERICA.
They Are Industr ious, Economical
aud Make Good Citizens


and Make Good Citizens.
The State Of Iowa has one Danish
settlement of 5000 people, says writ
er. Most Of these Danes have been in
the country less than twenty years.
Many of them came without a cent and
hired themselves out to American farm
ers.
1t has been an interesting study to
watch the steady rise of these young
men, some Of them In time buying their
employers farms. In Jackson Town
ship, Shelby County, within radius
or about two miles, can be found five
FARMS OF 200 or more acres each, be-
longing to Danes who, twenty years
ago, were considered very poor. In the
settlement are number of Danish
farms of over 500 acres each. When we
consider that these men came here un-
able to- speak our tongue, unfamiliar
with American customs and laws, I'M
used to the products of Yankee inven-
tive genius, and withal, lacking the al
mighty dollar and the Danish krone,
their success must be declared phe-
nomenal
The secret of their advancement
seems to lie In their unceasing industry
and rigid economy. Every nook and
corner Of their land Is carefully cult
waited Unproductive points and
ridges upon which so many farmers
shower nothing but curses are treated
to load after load of fertilizing ele-
ments Nothing Is wasted. Sometimes,
however, this spirit of thrift reaches a
degree not sanctioned by asthetic hor-
ticulture. On certain road leading
through the settlement lives a man
whose home life seems to be no less a
glad, sweet song' from the fact that
his front yard is planted to onions!
No less rapid has been the reward of
Danish talent engaged in pursuits 9TH
er than agriculture. Every town of
any size In the district in question has
tiourishing stores managed by Danish
merchants. Nearly all trades have
some Danish followers. Many Of our
teachers are Danes or Danish-Amerl-
cans, the county superintendent Of
oHelDl, lOI tAuulplt. STuuuuIe OF
the Iowa State Normal School, being
n Dane.
AS regards good citizenship no fault
can be found with the Danish people
They are a thinking class, as rule
and know something of current events
and the issues Of the times. The aver
age Dane votes as intelligently for a
member of Congress as he votes for a
member of the Danish Rigsdag. AS to
party allegiance, the Danish voters are
almost evenly divided between the
Democratic and Republican parties
There are also few Populists among
them.

SNAKES DRIVE OFF ROBBERS.

Queer Pets Save Ernest Barbour, a
Dowaer's Hill, Pa, Hermit.
The geese saved Rome once upon Il
time, but probably the only case on rec
ord where rattlesnake proved Il ben
efactor TO Its owner occurred when
Ernest Barbour, the hermit OF Down
er's Hill, was attacked by burglars In
bis hovel and the robbers were driven
away by rattlesnake. Downer's Hill
Is In Susquehanna County, Pa, not far
from the line separating New York and
Pennsylvania. Barbour has lived In
hut there for many years and has se-
creted about $4,000 In securities. He
also has considerable money about the
little hovel at times. There he lives
with two large dogs and number OF
rattlesnakes which he has charmed or
tanned so that he can freely handle
them. The neighbors usually avoid the
place on account of the snakes and the
fierce dogs and Barbour Is left quite
alone. But last week a number of rob
bers planned an attack on the hut. Mt
tempting to get the money and securir
ties in the place.
They made the dogs insensible with
drugged meat and were about to seize
Barbour when the faithful rattlesnakes
intervened. One of them bit a robber
In the leg, whereupon the marauders

False Money Market.

In Paris there is a false money mar.
ket where walters procure their store
of bad coins. 1t Is, of course, held Sc
cretly. There Is regular traffic. and
the sharpers know exactly what they
will receive for the real money they are
prepared to invest. Thus a spurious
five-franc piece fetches from two
francs to two francs fifty centimes, ac-
cording to the excellence of its imita-
ton: two-franc pieces cost from fifty to
seventyfve centimes, and one-franc
pieces twenty-five centimes. Bad gold
coins are rarely seen there. The ex-
planation of this is that, apart from the
fact that the manufacture Of them is
very costly, 1t requires considerable
scientific knowledge, and this the or
dlnary counterfeiter rarely possesses.

slaught. The intrepid colonel was In
front encouraging the men. The first
position OF the enemy was taken and
on they pushed with the rest of the
army, while Grant was asking who had
ordered the charge and declaring his
army was lost. They were met by
shower of balls. They charged with
their bayonets. and so impetuous was
the onslaught that nothing could stop
them. The first line of fortihcations
fell, and then the second and the guns
on top of the ridge The Seventy-third
planted their colors on the spot. and on
the way they captured almost as many
men as they were themselves in the
regiment.
PRESIDENT Lincoln wanted to promote
the hghting parson. The parson said
1t would not be fair for him to leave
the men who had entered with him. He
knew Il man who would make a good
major general. and he wrote to Presi-
dent Lincoln 10 that effect. This man
was James A. Garfield. The President
made him n general. largely upon the
recommendation of the preacher from
Posey County, Indiana. The Colonel
went back to Camp Butler but he re-
turned with only 200 of the able men
who went with him.and POO disabled
for the rest of their lives.
The Colonel took up his Bible where
he had left 1t and went after men-not
shooting at their heads or hearts. as
he had told his men to do literally dur
ing the war, but figuratvely. He has
kept 1t up ever since.

that he thought he could be OF use to

Governor looked over the rough man
but did not see that there was anything
that could be assigned to him just then
MI Jaquess was sitting near the desk
and he whispered TO the Governor to
ask the man to call again tomorrow
After he had gone out Jaquess turned
to the Governor and said

This is the worst swearing the worthy

the Governor.

Cutting Rye.

There are two patches Of rye on the
Kenneth pike which the owners have been
eating for two weeks and feeding TO their
cows, As the straw stands some four feet
in heighth, a large amount of feed can be
furnished from an acre Of ground. When
pIst ire is short in April and the early par.
OF May, the feed thus afforded is a great
aid to the owner. In fact we are surprised
that a greater number Of farmers do not
put in patch of rye in order to obtain
valuable fodder ration for their cows, us
We cannot divine any other method that
the same amount Of labor and expense
will afford II better return. We presume
that some farmers who pass up the pike
and notice tho great growth OF this rye
will take hint and make similar pruYi
ion to obtain feed IN early spring before
the clover and timothy have made sutfi.
cent growth TO afford good bite for the
cows, which are always anxious to get
something more palaiable than dry corn
