The Fraternal Union of America.

This order, now being organized in
Pullman, is recognized as the strongest
development of the day along fraternal
benefit lines. Its plans are modern and
protects tstlf as we'll as it's members, and
thus becomes great permanent institu-
ton. 1t has met with singular success
and its growth is attracting the attention
vi the entire fraternal world. This is not
surprising when its superior plan is fully
understood; plan which is not only en-
dorsed by the leading fraternal order men
and insurance journals throughout the
United States. An insurance.for which
II is not necessary "to die to win" is ex-
2eedingly popular, and the fact that both
sexes are admitted on equal terms, wins
thousands of friends for this great frater-
nifty. As guarantee of the permanepcy
and solidity OF this order it may be men
toned that it is member of both the
National Fraterntl Congress aud the
American Fraternal Congress-. These
two great bodies are composed OF forty
two of the leading lodges OF tile United
States and no order is admitted unless
its standing is gilt-edge. Much could be
said about the benefits of the Fraternal
Union of America, but space forbids GO
ing into detail. Its most important fea-
lures are as follows: death Benefits.
In case of death, 5000. 81 200 or 81, 400.
AN Immediate Funeral Benefit:
Fifty dollars on each $500 OF the certif-
cate is paid Immediately on receiving no.
tice of death, without waiting for the u.s.
ual formalities.
3--Total Disability Benefits:
One hall of the face of the certificate is
paid in cash, If a member becomes total
ly disabled from disease or accident.
Accident Benefits;
Accident benefits are paid to members
at the rate of 5000 per week, Tor each
200 of the certificate,
BIN Force When Sick
A member cannot be suspended when
sick or disabled. and is kept III good
standing for two months in any year, i
out OF employment.
6-Sick Benefit Fund
The local lodge provides sick beneti'
fund oi.irom $500 to 5000 per week.

can tables of mortality, he receives one
half of the amount of his certificate and
a paid up policy for the remainder.
This is one of the great features of the
Fraternal Union and one that is fair and
business-like. There are no death asses
ments or anything of the kind to pay, as
each member pays for his own insurance
and no one elses. The order simply has
contract with each member agreeing to
insure him or her for about $4,000 per
$l,O0o.Oo payable monthly, and allows
about 80 years to pay it in.
W. G. Emery, Deputy Sup. Pres. of
the order, makes his headq uarters al the
HERALD office and will be pleased to give
full particulars to anyone interested.

HER CORNER ON PUPPIES.
SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE

Miss Grace Reed Has Secured All the
Maltese Terriers and Is Holding
Them For Fancy
Price Expected.

The latest in the world of finance Is

Pierpont Morgan, either, nor the Rock
efellers, nor young Joe Letter OF
wheat fame who is making this cor
ner." 1t is young woman who Is do

manner that would challenge the ad-
miration of the Napoleons of finance
and make the ordinary dog fanciers
gasp with bewilderment In the base
ment of 122 West Twenty-seventh
street lives Miss Grace Reed. She is a
woman who lays little stress upon
looks and such like vanities. Her
time and thoughts are taken up by
all sorts of honest schemes and plans
such as enter the mind OF empire
builders or accumulatOrs of stupend-
Gus fortunes. Now, there is great
fortune in dogs, especially in puppies.
People generally don't realize this. In
fact, from the time the Dog star began
to join in the song of the spheres
down to the day when Miss Reed hit
upon the idea nobody seems To have
even dreamed of the possibilities of
puppies
The particular breed of puppies on
which Miss Reed is making a corner"
is Maltese terriers. They are pretty
creatures. closely resembling their fe-
line namesakes.
1t was only week ago that the
"cornering" process began, but there
is already said to be such a dearth Of
Maltese terriers in the city and the
country roundabout that the species
might be entirely extinct for all that
anybody can see of them.

Hampstead, X. L." Miss Reed said to
a reporter. They are very delicate
animals and make great pets. They
are not the most valuable breed Of
dogs by any means, but are getting 10
