Past Supreme Master Workman,
Kinsley, writes to Supreme Recor-
der, Sackett:
Montana has checked the tide of
suspensions and Withdrawals which
followed the adoption of Classified
Assessments. The plan has now be-
come better understood, and while
we regret that several of our older
members could not see the equity of
paying a fair sum for their protec-
tion, and have left us, their places
are being filled by younger members
and we again show an increase. You
will observe that the number of I'D
missions and restorations for the
past month exceed that of any pre-
vious month in the year. We know
of more on hand and feel confident
that you will not have TO place Mon
tana in the loss column any more

RY Order OF Court.

At session of the District Court
held in Dayton this week an order
was made authorizing the guardian
of Emmit Edwin Johnson, bene-
ficiary under certificate No. 1881, OF
Eli Johnson, who died on the nth Of
last September in New Mexico, to
remove property to another State.
This enables the Order to settle up
the long pending claim wherein 20
much difficulty was experienced in
obtaining the proofs of identity re-
quired by the Supreme Relief Board.

the Grand Recorder in favor of Mary
Jane johnson, Oline c. johnson, Ida
S. Kennedy and Emmit Edwin John
son in the sum of $500 each, they be.
ing the widow and children of the

whats the use of keeping up the
Lodge organizationP Sure enough,
what is the use? II don't get any
benefit from it" OF course you
don't. Neither does the man who
bandages his eyes and stutfs his ears
full of cotton get any good out OF
the theatrical performance. Neither
does the church member receive any
aid or comfort from his fellow mem
bers if he stays away from church
and fails to pay his pew rent. The
fact is, disgruntled Brother, this is
big and busy world, and while most
men will dc kind act, or at least
speak a gracious word if the oppor-
tunity to do the one or the other
comes in their way, it is untortu-
nately true that few men have the
time, even had they the disposition
to go out of their way to find per-
sons upon whom to bestow gracious
words, much less kind acts. If you
would have your share of the good
things of this life, you must keep
in the swim; be on hand when the
distribution takes place.
There are many people in the
world, and chances are that what
ever there is to be passed around
there won't be enough for all. Reach
out your hand with the rest, or most
surely you will be lett. You habit
ually keep away from the Lodge !;
possibly you are always behind in
your dues and assessments; when
the Order is brought up in conversa-
| ton you are about as well qualified
to speak of its doings as one of the
cuniform inscriptions on the pyra-
Inids or the priInor dial germ theory ;
you lock yourself up in your own
narrow individual environments
and throw the key overheard, and
then you expect that the world will
leave everything else and go fishing
for the key, and puZzling tor the
com bination to release you. II you
think that anybody is going to
trouble himself about you, you are
Just as mistaken as though you'd
burnt your shirt. And it doesn't
make any difference whether it is a
Lodge, a church or an engine compa-
ny, if you don't show yourself oc-
casionally and show that you are
interested, you will be let severely
alone, you will be utterly forgotten,
and you won't get any benefit out
of it.
But instead of shutting yourself
up in your own exclusiveness, sup
pose you come out of your hide
bound foolishness and bear hand
with the rest of 'em. Our word for
it, you'll soon find out that there is a
great deal III the Lodge organiza-
ton, and before you are aware of
it you will have gotten lots of bene-
fit out of it. Now, for mercy's sake,
take hold and see what you can do,
but if you are determined you won't
do anything, and persist in shutting
yourself up, at least be logical and
consistent, and shut up your mouth
also.-Ee.

The Grand Lodge of New York is
badly off for Constitution and By
Laws, and correspondent of the of
fetal organ of that Jurisdiction ad-
vocates immediate action in having
the Grand Lodge meet and renovate
the old Constitution by amendments
eliminating all verbiage, tautology
and general confusedness.
If New York Jurisdiction is in a
bad condition for want of a proper
Constitution and Bylaws, what can
be said of Nevada Jurisdiction
where the Grand Recorder has not a
single copy of the Constitution and
bylaws to give to new Lodge
should one be instituted. There are
a number of amendments also need.
ed to our Constitution, and those al
ready made should be incorporated
in it. 1t would pay the Grand Lodge
to hold an extra session this Sum.
mer and renovate our Constitution
and Bylaws as the correspondent
proposes to do in New York. You
cannot do business successfully
without the proper things to do it
with, and a proper and intelligible
Constitution is about the first thing
any Order should have in each ,Ju
risdiction.

Dishonest Withdrawals.

What we consider a dishonest
withdrawal from a Fraternal Order
is for a Brother to allow himsef to
be suspended for non-payment of
dues and assessments. All fraternal
societies generously allow grace in
the matter of delinquents, during
which time they have all protection
and benefits, if needed, to be derived
from the Order. Some Brothers get
behind with their dues and assess
ments, and finally are suspended.
Now, Brother, do you not know that
is wrongp If you want to quit any
Order, go to the Lodge like man,
ask for clearance card, and go out
honorably. 1t is just the same as if
you We're trading with a merchant,
and you concluded to quit him. If
honest, you will go in, settle your
bill and quit. Now, when you are
suspended from an Order, you. as
Justly owe it for part of the time
you are delinquent as you owed the
merchant for the goods. If, at any
time, you are too poor to pay your
Lodge dues, just let it be known and
your Lodge will pay for you; that
is what traternal societies are for, to
help one another in need, and they
always do it. We do not consider
any man reliable who will allow
himself to be suspended from any
Fraternal Order for non-payment of
dueS-GdUeL.

ed into the empty coffee pot; JEFF
W Mt pretind that he knows anything
OF this country SO long as he is in the

miner, but if l do scoop in any gold.
| think I'll know enough to shoot any
man that tries to steal it,
AS he spoke he darted a glance at
Hardman, who was sitting a little
back from the fire, also smoking, but
glum and silent. The boys wondered
why JEFF should make these pointed
references, when he had never limited
anything of the kind before, but the
Old miner had a purpose in mind
While not seeming to pay any special
attention to Hardman, he had studied
him closely for the past few days, and
felt little doubt that he was planning
mischief. The words therefore, that
Jeff uttered were meant as a warning
TO the rogue Of what he might expect
II he attempted any crooked work.
No further reference was made to
the unpleasant subject, although jeff
and Tim chafed each other. for long
time, even after the boys had wrapped
themselves in their blankets and lain
down to sleep. No watch was set, as
would have been the case had they
been journeying through wild part
of their own country, for there was
nothing to be feared from wild ami
mails Or Indians. The only being
whom Jeff and the boys mistrusted
was a member of their own company,
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-02-04

and they did not believe he would do
anything wrong until after the party
had secured something worth the risk
on his part.
Deprived of many of the comforts
OF home and mothers care, it did
not take the boys long, under the
tuteiage of the older ones, to attend to
their own wants. Roswell and Frank
soon learned how to sew on a button
and do the mending which their gar
ments occasionally required. They
washed their clothing and kept them
selves in better form than do many
men when placed in a similar posi-
ton.
With the weather growing more
summary and hardly bit of ice in the
river, the raft glided down the upper
Yukon. Ninety eight miles from where
1t was formed by the junction of the
two rivers named, the craft passed the
mouth of the Milk river and in this
case, the party saw the appropriate
ness Of the name, for it's water has a
perceptible whitish color.
A goodly distance remained to be
passed. for it was ten miles to Stewart
Ogilvie, where they spent the night.
They were now nearing their journey S
end, and all showed peculiar agita-
ton, such as is natural when we feel
ourselves close upon the solution of a
problem that has baffied us for long
time.
One form of this emotion was the
Impotence to get forward faster than

ing when leaving Seattle or Juneau or
Dyea. nor did they experience it to
any degree while toiling through the
hundreds of miles from lake to lake
and down the upper waters of the
streams which help to form the Yu-
kon.
Roswell and Frank were grateful for
one blessed fact, they were stronger
and in more rugged health than ever
in their lives. When making their
way through the passes and helping
drag the sleds they felt more than once
like giving up and turning back,
though neither would have confessed
it but they were hopeful, buOyant and
eager. They had sent the last letter
which they expected to write home for
a long time upon leaving Dyea, where
they babe goodbye to civilization.
The afternoon was young when the
raft drifted into a portion of the Yu-
kon which expanded into width OF
two miles, where it was joined by an
other large stream. On the eastern
shore doomed a struggling town OF con-
siderable proportions

any thing Of the kind, he gave up in
disgust
Its the most villainous country on
the face of the EARTH" he said, as he
lit his pipe at the evening fire; If it
wasn't Tor the gold that we know is
here, no decent man would stay over
night in it. Frank, tell me something
about the COMPOUNDED country"
Me-" replied the boy with laugh;
| don't know half as much as you and
Tim"
Yes, you do; Tim don't know any
thing more than the best way to travel
through the mountains and across the
lakes
The Irishman took his pipe from be-
tween his lips to offer protest against
this slur, but changed his mind and re-
sumed smoking, though his eyes twin
kled.
"A man that takes lot of gold out
oI the ground and then lets thief

Which is why I've provided mesilf

Tim, not the least offended, though
Hardman scowled, for the remark was
pointed reflection upon him, but he
held his piece.
What about the Injuns here?" pur-
sued Jeff, addressing the boys, they re
different from ours in Californy."
Frank had no wish to air his knowl-
edge, but he replied:
have read that the natives belong
to the red and yellow races-that is,
the Indian and Monaghan. There are
Two stocks of Indians-the Thlinkets
and the Tenneh. There are only few
lhllnkets, and they live along the
coast. That old Indian who ferried us
ever Lake Linderman is a Tenneh, as
are the natives of the interior You
may not think they are much like our
Indians, but they belong to the Chip
peWayan family, the same as the Apa-
cAes, who have caused so much trou-
Dle in Mexico and Arizona"
That has been my 'pinion," said
lin, who now heard the fact for the

proud to show off the learning of his
young friends, why do they call the
hSMmos that name?"
The name means those who eat
raw flesh, was given to them by the
indians. They call themselves Aleuts
OF lnnuits. The Innuits are the same
as the Eskimos of Greenland and the
