SLOWLY Debtroyeu ID
md Anxiety of Modern Life.
The tendency in all the French res
taurants of the present day is to pre-
pare meals for their chance customer
who may happen in at any time of ;hi
day, says the Chautanquan. Meals are
eaten in n greater hurry than former
ly, even in France, where it used to
be the habit during the fiercest revo-
lutionary and communist struggles
when the time of de jeuner came Tor
each side to stop fighting for an hour
or so and devote themselves to the mid
day meal. The hurry and anxiety of
modern life is slowly destroying what
ever was distinctive in French cooking,
which cannot be properly done in haste
or when food is required in very large
quantities.
The development of club life is part
~ responsible for this, and the latter
is only another sign of the deep-lying
social problems which confront modern
existence at every step. Men in fash
enable society dine more frequently at
the club than they do at their own
homes. Fewer people marry than for
merry, home life is decreasing and club
life increasing. Hence, the last refuge
of The Partisan chef is at the fashionable
clubhouses, which are now counted by
the score, and most of which set very
good tables.

Attention!

Once again we we call the attention
of Lodges to the fact that we would
like communications from them con-
corning matters pertaining to the
Order. There is no Lodge in the
Jurisdiction that cannot furnish an
interesting communication once or
twice a month. Tell about how
many new members have been taken
in, what kind of time you had at
the initiation, etc. Since beginning
our A. o. U. w. page we have pat on
our exchange list about thirty A. O.
U. w. publications in different parts
of the U. S. and Canada. They will
very naturally look over the Neva-
da news of the Order and make some
comment on it, which will show to
other Jurisdictions what we are do
ing. Don't let it be said by them that
we are tagging. Write us the news
and it will be published to show that
we are striving with all our might
for the upbuilding of the Order in
the "battle-born State" Incidentally
you might get the Lodge to take a
copy of the TINES, which will give
all Lodges a chance to find out what
is being done by the different Lodges
in the Jurisdictions. Send US sub
scription, get a new member and tell
us about it, find fault with what you
see in these columns-do something
to show that you take some little in
terest in what is being done in the
Order

Fidelity to the Order.


| If you believe in the Order; if you
have faith in its stability; if you
have confidence in its ability to carry
out its every obligation and every
promise it may make; if you have
any assurance that the Orders past
history is guarantee of what it
will do for the future; if, in fact,
your faith in the society is sufficient
ly strong to warrant you to continue
paying in your assessments and dues
each month, then be true to the Order.
Talk for the Order; work for the
| Order.
If you haven't sufficient faith and
| confidence to warrant you in uphold
ing the principles of the Order, and
yet remain under its protection, you
are detriment and ought to get out!
We can respect an open and avow-
ed enemy. No man is bound to be-
lieve in our Order, or in any other
| fraternal society. Some people don't
believe in cooperation of any char
acter. Such persons may be mis-
guided, but their opinions being hon.
est are entitled to respect. But it is
the insidious foe; the pretended
friend who stabs behind the back
the member of fraternal society
who accepts its protection, thus, iii a
measure acknowledging his conf
dence in its stability, and yet has
never good word to say in its be-
half, who, on the contrary, is not in
frequently heard to drop a hint, a
word, an inuendo that is calculated
to throw distrust upon the Order in
minds of other members or outsiders;
that's the kind of member who can't
take his card or get out too quick.
Any fraternal Order is better off
without such a mem Der as this.
If you believe in fraternity and in
the work of fraternal Orders, join
that society which you conceive to
be the best, all things considered.
Having done so, stand by and swear
by your Lodge and by your Order.
If, at any time, you are inclined to
think you have made mistake, look
the situation over carefully, study
up the principles and workings of
your Order; don't jump at conclu-
sions; if a candid examination and
careful consideration shall convince
you that you have not done the best
thing you might have done in join
ing either this or any other fraternal
Order, just quietly take your card
and drop out.
Don't be sorehead.-Colorado Re

Special Deputy. ]. A. Farwell, has
sent in fifteen new applications for
membership to new lodge which
was instituted at Deeth, Elko county,
on Thursday night of this week.
Deeth is little town on the Central
Pacific road, east Of Elko. 1t is sur.
rounded by, a prosperous agric,iitur'
al country, and the manifest bene-
fits of being member of the a. O.
U. W., as explained by deputy Far
well, have greatly interested the
residents of that section. The new
Lodge starts with fair-sized mem
bership and all indications point to
healthy growth.

Collier,s weekly, October esth.

Golfers Weekly, for the week end
ing October 28th, contains, as usual,
a wealth of literary comment and
artistic causerie. An editorial of
the late Chas. A. Dana is particu-
larly noteworthy as the tribute of
one of his best-known associates of
the Sun.
"Our Note Book" is iridescent as
ever with Saltus' sparkling phrases,
lighted, as always, with incident
and epigram. Edgar Fawcett's Lon
don letter deals with the literary
gossip of the "Capital of Letters"
and Julian Hawthorne touches with
trenchant pen upon many crying
evils of the day.
The Illustrations are executed for
the most part on wood, and are of
rare artistic excellence. Lawrence
Clavering," by A. E. w. Mason, en-
ters its second installment with in
terest unabated.
Altogether, Golfers Weekly is a
type of what high-class illustrated
Weekly should be; elegant and ele-
waiting, force that makes for cul-
ture and civilization. We commend
it heartily to our readers.

Make an Effort.

If every member in this Jurisdic-
ton of the A. Q. u. w. would get
only one new member to join the
Order between now and next June
Nevada would have by that time
over two thousand members, and
will have won the prize of $4,000 for
increasing its membership. 1t is
hardly probable that Nevada can
make such gain, but If all would

up to 1900. Remember that each new

some Good Reasons why You Should
Join the WOrkmen.

Because it is a fraternity whose
watchwords are Charity, Hope and
Protection, and its promises are as
sure as death.
Because by its protection the hun
CRY are fed, the naked clothed, the
dead buried, and the widow and or.
phan sustained by the living chain
of the greatest fraternity in the
world.
Because by it's protection and iv-
ing chain crime is lessened, poverty
removed, distress averted, the home
protected, the mortgage paid, the
children educated and encouraged to
do right, and are assured the friend.
ly counsel of the mother.
Because by its charity (which
never faileth,' its members look
after one another in sickness and
distress and bring comfort, relief
and hope to the living.
Because when have passed away
to that bourne from which no trav.
eler returns, my Brothers in the
great fraternal army will give hope
and protection to the loved ones
leave behind.
Because it is a progressive institu'
ton keeping pace with christian
sentiment; it elevates within its
ranks.
Because it teaches the nobler forms
of temperance and thereby strength
ems and builds UP the character.
Because its membership is made
UP from the honest and industrious
of all classes of society.
Because the great principle of the
brotherhood of man inculcates and
fosters the equality of its members
it recognizes no political or religious
differences, but protects all alike
under the one word, and that is
"Fraternity."

1t seems but few years ago that
there were only two or three frater-
nal societies, and the world scarcely
heard the names of others than the
Masons and Odd Fellows, and until
in 1864 the Pythians came, and four
years later the A. o. U. W., the
names of all societies of Importance
Were easily remembered.
But now it is the exception to find
thinking men who do not belong to
some fraternity, and there are but
few OF prominence in the American
republic who are not connected with
organizations of this character.
Churches, legislatures and citizens
at large recognize their value the
world over, and opposition to them,
save in a few morbid minds, is a
thing of the past.
A recent number of the North
American ReuteuO contained an ex-
haustive article upon the subject of
societies, and gives table showing
what is being done in this line, and
the number of people engaged in
fraternal work. Membership, 5,4s4,-
GAG; paid out in benefits, So4oo82,47I.
Here, truly, is exhibited vast So
cial force, increasing at the rate of
100000 per year. The time has long
since passed when any antagonistic
feeling is expressed against secret
societies. Occasionally some moral
list may reflect upon the expense in
cident TO organizations of this kind,
on the ground of the cost of travel
ing, banqueting, and so on. Some
times ministers preach against them
on the score that too many members
make the society their only church,
and are buried by its ceremonies.
The article referred to, says:
"Nor should it be lost sight OF that
there Is a demand upon these mil
lions of oath-bound men in our land,
whom we meet at every turn OF the
street, who touch elbows with US in
business or society, many OF whom
are leaders in the laity of the church,
and who are increasingly numerous
in the ministerial ranks of the
churches, it should not be forgotten
that there is most imperative de-
mand upon the consciences of these
men-the acknowledgement of Su-
preme Being over all. To this should
be added rarely lacking, positive,
unequivocal and constant reverence
for the Scriptures. Not that any
test of religious belief is exacted,
but think it will be fair both to
those who are inside and those who
are outside of the organizations to
say that the Bible, taken as the most
sacred book of christian nations, is a
work to which peculiar reverence is
always given in fraternal organiza-
tions. No other organization OF men
in the world, with the single excep-
ton of the church, 50 universally, so
consistently and so insistently de-
mands that recognition of divine att
thority which is at once the test and
the evidence of the highest type of

Gold and silver Currency.

Estimates made by the gold
clique as to the amount of money
per capita in circulation are de-
ceiving and, doubtless, intended to
deceive. iae itHr
These advocates of gold mono.
metallism claim that there is plenty
of money and that the people of the
United States have $24 per capita.
But in this estimate is included all
the money locked up as treasury
reserve, over $1O0,0O0,O00 and 25
per cent of the national bank circu-
lation, which the law requires to be
kept in the vaults.
Thus about two hundred million
dollars is as useless as circulating
medium as if it were entirely wiped
out of existence. In reality, there
is not more than $16 per capita in
circulation. France has twice this
amount. Germany so per cent
more than the United States, and
England, with its small population,
fully as much. How is this con-
traction of the circulating medium
to be remedied? Simply by the
unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of Is to 1.
Then there will be no "elastic"
currency issued by the banks and
secured by their Office furniture, as
is suggested by the Sound money"
reformers, but a currency of gold
and silver, the best and safest
money in the world.

The True Remedy.

ILL.,, Chief, says: "We won't keep
house without DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs

many others, but never got the true
remedy until we used DR.. Kings
New Discovery. No other remedy
can take its place in our home, as
in it we have a certain and sure
curs for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, etc." 1t is idle to expert
ment with other remedies, even If
they are urged on you as just as
good as DR.. Kings New Discovery.

besides is guaranteed. 1t never fails
