MODERN WOODMGN.

Seek Only Young Men For Member
ship-Chips From the Camps.
The order was established for the bene-
fit of its members, and it is wrong to sup
pose that it is comforting a benefaction
upon the order to become a member of it.
When man joins it, he joins it for his
own good and for the good of those who
depend upon him and not because he de-
sires to help the order Therefore while
it is for the advantage of all to extend
the influence of the order and increase its
membership it is not for its advantage to
fill its ranks by the recruitment of men
advanced in life or who are not in prime
physical condition. Only young men and
men who are likely to live many years
are the men we should seek.-Modern
Woodman.
c. S. Locknane of Kansas heads the
list of deputies for work done since July
1, 1898, with grand total of 1887. J.
W. Simmons of Kansas stands second
with 1924.
If your camp is alive, do not be afraid
to let the world know it.
Always wear your badge or. button and
be sure and keep it in sight
Since the Dubuque head camp in 1897
10000 certificates have been written
and 1,9i0 new camps chartered
The advocates for the admission of
Chicago to the jurisdiction did not pre-
sent the question to the head camp. They
saw that sentiment was against making
the change, so did not waste any time or
energy over the matter.

NEW YORK, July 31.-Ihe Herald

'.On Friday last DR.. Halstead Boy

was published i'll our Issue of last Satur-

ton which DR.. Boyland had had with
Admiral Dewey.
''ln this conversation the admiral
spoke with sailor-Hke candor and ex-
pressed opinions with regard to Ger
many that have stirred UP a commotion.
1t Is regret;.bie that friendly conversa-

more than The Herald does.
''Still, when this has been recorded,
the fact remains that Admiral Dewey
made the statements reported by DIR.

MASONIC.
A Curious Coincidence of Numbers.
Chips From the Temple.


At the Maine grand commandery ses-
sion it was curious that the conmandery
returns showed 1888 members. This is
subject to correction, as the report was
not quite complete, but as 33 is marked
number in Masonry the coincidence was
noteworthy. Add the four threes togeth-
er and we have the II officers of COM
mandery, while the twelfth degree of the
York rite is that of Templar. Again,
add the one ard two together, and we
have three, which is the number of the
craft degrees and of our three ancient
grand masters. But there is no end TO
juggling with figures, SO we will only add
that in spite of the depression of the past
year Masonry in Maine has been prosper
ed, and we may hope for better times and
greater prosperity in the year before us
