Weissmiller and A. Carlson. A large
number of applications were also re-

Neighbor Rasmussen, Chairman of the
committee on Ladies' night, reported
that he had secured excellent talent
and good progam was promised for
the Ladies' Night to be held on We'd
nesday evening next, to be confined
exclusively to members of the order
and their lady friends. Neighbor Wait
reported that the formation of the
Samaritan base ball team was compile
ted and they were making rapid pro-
gress, and in a few weeks would be in
position to challenge the base ball team

Minnesota. Under head of good of the

The morning was dawning. Only a
few ragged streaks of light had yet
crept over the edge of the prairie. Dan
came down the road. He tried to put
the memory Of horrible dream from
him. That dream had sobered him.

him because he was not fit to raise

an, all pale and weeping, put her arm
about his neck. With choking voice,
she told Of little Jim-of his plaintive
plea for daddy to come; she told him
all.
Dan gathered the little woman in his
arms and in the presence of death,
new life awoke in both their hearts.
Long years have passed and many
summers have decked the little grave.
Other little lives have come to bless the
home of Dan and MOllie.
Dan is a sturdy man. The drink
shops know him no more. He walks
with honest men. He has never for
gotten a vow, made with miserable
broken heart, long years ago.
Daddy, do love little Jim. Daddy
will come to him.

BETA COUNCIL NO. 2

At the regular meeting of Beta cOun-
Gil No. 2, held at Columbia hall on
May 3rd, seven candidates were initia-
ted into the order. and IA new applica-
tons for membership were presented.
After the meeting, ice cream, cake and
coffee were served and a general good
time was had. The social part of the
meeting was as successful as any held
at the West End for many months, and
was very much enjoyed by the large
number present.
During the past four months the in
crease in membership of the order of
Modern Samaritans has been phenom-
email for so young a society, the in
crease during that period being equal
to the increase for the entire twelve
months of last year.

the members are idle. The non union
shops are having a very difficult time
in having men to do their work.
Duluth unions should read carefully
the call for the State Federation of La
Dor convention to be held in Red Wing
in June. Duluth has always been well
represented at the Federation conven-
tons and there is no reason why they
should not be as we'll represented at the
coming convention. This is the last
meeting prior to the next session of the
legislature, and if Duluth labor is in
terested in any legislation, this is the
proper place to first bring the matter
up for intelligent discussion. Another
reason is that a good attendance will
add encouragement to the work of Or
with so much success during the past
year. Let every union in the city send
a delegate.
Kelley hat hospital, pantorium and
dye works did more business during the
week than the dray men. While spring

The Plumbers union went on a. strike
Tuesday morning and were out just
one day. Wednesday all of the bosses
signed the rules and now the plumbers
get $500 a day, or at the rate of so
cents per hour for every day in the
week including Saturday afternoon.
DR.. Cullum has removed his dental
parors to the top floor of the New
Jersey building.
The Trades assembly meeting of last
Friday was again very poorly attended.
However small the attendance. it made
up in enthusiasm. Every delegate took
part more or less in the debates of the
evening. This is a good sign, for the
complaints of the past were made be-
cause but few delegates took part
in the discussion of pending questions.

Deputy Barton, Of Minneapolis, re-
ports that he has at least two new
councils in course Of organization In
different parts of the city. His time
has been Occupied on the jury during
the past week but while he has been
thus engaged he has made It his bust
ness to secure at least one member
a day during his attendance at court.

water has been adding to it's member

poets to have initiated in the near

tirely deserved, but it will be one wise
act to your credit.
"Size is not everything" remarked
an envious rival to Modern Woodman
deputy. 'Perhaps not" answered the
deputy, but I have noticed that the
biggest and longest pole knocks the
choicest persimmons. Saying which,
he hustled and secured seventy-five
membership applications that very day.
P. S.-This is, in way, a true story.
Rev. Lawrence Sinclair, of Gore Bay,
Ont, says: IF there were no frater-
nal societies, and the benevolent men
of the day were to set on foot a scheme
to raise money for the widows and or
phans, do you imagine they would get
100000 in ten years? Yet we are given
to understand that the fraternal CO.
operative societies of the United States
and Canada have paid out over $38, O00,-
900 during the past year.
A man with a little cottage home a
wife, and four children. aged 10, II, Is,
and II years, lived happily on an in
come Of $500 g. year. He died. The
Modern Woodman society paid his wild
ow $4,000. Widow and orphans lived
comfortably On $500 a year for three
years. Then the two eldest children
began earning-brought in 81 100 year.
The youngest were continued at school.
That family is now comfortably we'll
off, united, educated, and happy. All
because of the fathers certificate in
Woodcraft continued to work for his
family for years after his death. Who
says fraternal insurance is failure?
Some women make a feeble show of
protest against their husbands lodge
night every week. Nevertheless, after
their husbands die, many of them are
sorely undecided whether to feel re-
morse or regret. -

NORTH STAR COUNCIL. NO. 9.

NORTH STAR COUNCIL, NO. 9.
The second meeting since the reOr-
ganization of North Star council No. 9
was held in the K. P. Hall on Tuesday
evening last. There was almost a full
attendance of the entire membership of
the council and the meeting was a
great success. Hon. d. M. Gum, the
Good Samaritan occupied the chair, and
was assisted in the work by Imperial
Vice Good Samaritan, o. F. Collier and
Neighbors D. A. Cone and C. p. Earl.
of Alpha council No. l.. Over 20 appli-
cations were received and II new can
didates were initiated into the order,
bringing the membership Of this coun-
Gil up to 40 within the last thirty days.
The Ritualistic work was exemplified
ON w. F. Sims, and the versatile inn
keeper of Alpha council No. / occupied
about half a dozen different positions
in the council during the work of initi-
alton. After the exercises in the coun-
Gil chamber a sunlptous repast was
served at the Hotel Pokegama to the
visiting neighbors. There is a great
deal of enthusiasm among the members
of North Star council and it is expected
that they will make very large increas-
es in their membership during the next
thirty days. On the morning after the
meeting neighbor Earl returned to
Hibbing, where he has a council under
way which he expects to organize with
in the next week or ten days. The del
egation visiting the council at Grand

Secretary Richardson was instructed
to writesto Congressman Morris pro-

the entertainment. Mr.. Depung was in
the city some years ago at which time
a great friendship was made with the

The Cigarmakers' union held q large
| meeting Wednesday evening at which
six members were admitted by card
and two, Frank Schubinski and C..
Fernandez were initiated. The ball
committee reported a neat sum over
and above all expenses Of the ball.
$4,000 was donated to the New York
cigarmakers now on strike.
The Cigarmakers employed by Ron.
Fernandez and Co., and Culver Bros.
played ball last Sunday at the driving
park. Five innings were played and
the score stood six to five in favor of
Ron, Fernandez, when it began to rain.
Jones and Henderson were the battery
for Culver Bros, and j. C. Piering, Ole
Piering and F. Kasmir stood for Ron,
Fernandez. Ole Piering came out of
the game with a very sore finger. He
claims that it occurred behind the bat,

the game. Ole might try to get a sick
benefit but the other fellows will not
stand for it.

The Carpenters strike, which began
May 1st, is about on the verge of SETTLE

penters secured jobs in shops that have
agreed to the demands of the union.
One boss carpenter said during the
week that he signed the scale immedi-
ately because he was afraid his men
would go on the Range where carpen-
ters are receiving $500 per day, while
they ask for only $3.50 per day in the
city.
The Clerks union held fafr-sized
meeting Wednesday evening at which
only routine business was transacted.
The call for the State Federation of
Labor was read and referred to the
next meeting, at which it is probable q
delegate will be elected.
