The Law of All IN Increase.

In looking out upon the face OF
nature, in considering her methods
and ways, in following the stream
of life from its fountain to its source,
you will find in every case that the
law of all is increase. This is no.
where more applicable than in the
fratcrnal society, and above all we
should look carefully into the meth
DDS OF increase. the kind of material
sought and the care taken in its Sc
lection. Organizations of this kind
want plenty OF young blood in the
full tide of its fresh zeal and manly
vigor to push along the work with
ambition and an untaltering deter
mination to succeed. Put young
men in your Offices, no matter if they
are more unstable and possessed of
less cool, deliberate judgment than
older ones. They will make up for
this IN enthusiasm, and the very ex-
uberence OF spirits will prove val
liable advertisement to the Order.
Young blood seeks amusement, and
if you give full swing to their de-
sires they will make the existence of
the Order felt by the public. They
will get it before the people, and that
* what you want. You cannot get
people to join an Order that is COM
r,1xr ,ha t1fr-
ures do not appeal half as strongly
to the majority of those whom you
most desire to secure, as the reputa-
tion for iollity and good fellowship
which the young men will create.
Keep the finances in the hands OF
some reliable, older and more expert
cnced person, so that a rein may be
drawn over lavish expenditures or
extravagances. But let the young
fellows introduce all the merriment
into the Lodge-room and provide all
the public entertainment that your
town will afford. You will thereby
not only assure large and steady
attendance at your regular reviews,
but constant increase of member
ship in your tent. When you allow
your Order to rest at a standstill,
when you sit inertly down to enjoy
your own protection, careless of the
condition of your neighbor, you
ieopardize that very protection you
so very much prize for yourself and
family. Unless your tent is pro
crossing it is certainly retrograding
There is no standing still' in life.
Therefore, hustle, constantly for in
crease.-Bee Hire.

Recognizing Oar worth.

The drift of the times is towards
Fraternal Orders. Not long ago an
insurance paper made the following
announcements:
at is our opinion that it is only a
matter of time when the assessment
or natural premium business will
drift into Fraternal Orders. Our
reason is that assessment companies
organized on what are known as
business lines have, in the long run,
no advantage whatever over regu-
lar companies. They must obtain
business in the same way and must
eventually pay as much for business
of the same kind. On the contrary,
the fraternities have demonstrated
their ability to procure business
cheaper and to carry on their affairs
cheaper; this as result of the
wholesale system of obtaining mem
bers and of the cheap but efficient
local organization system of making
collections and holding the member
ship together. All that the fraterni-
ties need to learn is that they can,
through their machinery, quite as
safely invest reserves as they can
carry on any other part of their
business. That lesson once learned,
the fraternities, in our Judgment,
will not merely capture the entire
assessment field, but will, in the long
run, deal death wound to regular
insurance carried on on its present
extravagant lines"
1t would seem from the above that
insuring companies are beginning to
recognize the strength OF the Bene'
ficiary Orders.

IR@ Texas Grand Lodge can be
proud of a great many things dis
closed by their statistical report for
the year 1897. A decrease of LII in
the average age of the membership
in good standing January l, 1885, as
compared with what it was on Jan
uary I, 1897. Other favorable aver
ages are found by comparing the
average age of members admitted,
] a Id hD
during the year 1897, with the same
averages for the year 1896. The
death rate for 1897 was 1888 per
thousand against I4.oS for 1896, and
it was only necessary to levy eleven
classified assessments to pay off all
losses for the year. This is certainly
fine showing and Texas is to be
congratulated.
~ kentucky will doubtless Sc
cure $4,000 from the Supreme Lodge
as result of its work this year.
This sum is to be paid to any 1uris-
diction making gain of rs per cent.
this year, provided the number ad-
mitted is not less than one thousand.
kentucky has therefore "gone the
Supreme Lodge one better" as the
addition of one thousand means a
net increase to that State of over SO
per cent.
v Soute Dakota bids fair to be
the first to claim the $4,000 prize
offered by the Supreme Lodge. Sc
