INDUSTRIAL
From the Engineering Magazine.

The hero of the future is the captain
of industry, not the captain of armies.
The struggle is to produce the most, and
most cheaply-not to destroy the most
and the most quickly. The strong ma
ton is the one whose manufactures and
whose merchant marine reaches fouthest
in supplying the needs of the people, and
return the best laden with the needed
goods of other lands. The keynote of
success, the secret of power, is economy
economy is production, in methods. in
management. The vast growth of manu-
featuring establishments must be met
by adequate growth and adjustment in
administration. Organization must re-
place the individual supervision and con-
troll which was sufficient even to the
great works of a half century ago. In
the study OF works management lies the
highway to larger success and wider in
tluence than the material conditions of
the past ever made possible. Before en-
gineers and managers lie the duty OF

OF H

Pythian K~nighthood had it's concep-
ton in the exemplification of the life test
of true friendship existing between Da-
MOI and Pythias.
Friendship, or mutual confidence, be-
ing the strongest bond of union between
man and man, and only existing where
honor has an abiding place, is adopted
as a foundation principle.
AS the ideal knight of olden times was
the personitication of all the higher and
nobler attributes of mans nature, the
candidate for knighthood had to prove
himself worthy of acceptance by those
who valued friendship, bravery, honor,
justice and loyalty.
The order of Knights of Pythias,"
said member, talking to the writer" is
founded in friendship, charity and be
neyolence, which it proclaims as it's car
dinal principles, strives to gather into
one mighty fraternity worthy men, who
appreciate the true meaning of friend
ship; who are cautious in word and act;
Who love truth; who are brave in Defend
ing right, whose honor is untarnished
whose sense of justice will prevent to
the best of their ability a personal act
or word injurious to the worthy; whose
loyalty to principle, to family, to friends,
10 tnelr country and to the constituted
authority under which they enjoy citi-
zenship is ~undoubted; and who at all
times, are prepared to do unto others as
they would that others should do ante
them"
There are five lodges of the order OF
Knights Of Pythias in Silver Bow county,
viz: Damon Lodge No. 1, Ivanhoe Lodge
No. 8, and Oswego Lodge No. 8, located
in the city Of Butte; Calanthe Lodge No,
AZ, located in Centerville, and Silver Bow
Lodge No. Al, located in South Butte.
The five lodges have a membership of
about $50, and it is estimated that there
are at least $50 member of the order in
Butte who do not affiliate with any of
the lodges located here. About s., 900 are
spent yearly by the five lodges for char
liable purposes.
The lodges of Silver Bow county are
building a Pythian Castle on Lower
Main street, which, when completed, will
cost about 4 1000. 1t is a three-story
building, with a four-story front, and the
dimensions are 115 feet by 40 feet. The
lower floor is divided into two store
rooms. On the second floor is a hall
with paraphernalia rooms, reception,
rooms, ETC., which will be rented to othe,
societies. The knights Of Pythias viii

Butte, with a population of So coo, con-
tains more members of this faith than
any city in the United States. The ma
tional sentiment obtains, however, in So
cieties. Instead of strictly church socie-
ties, with a patron saint emblazoned on
its banner, the Irishmen of the camp are
united with the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans. There are two divisions of this
frchffffffffffetao shrd letaoin shrdlu eta
order in Butte. No. 1 meets at Center
vile, and No. 2 at Miners Union hall.
Like other fraternal organizations. the
Hibernians care for the sick and bury
their dead. If any member of the order
in good standing should strike Butte
dead broke, some member of the order
would speedily see that he got employ
ment.
Along in Tune the Hibernians Of the
state held a convention at their hall in
Centerville. At that meeting d. j. Hem
nessey was elected president of the state
organization.
The reports presented from the state
officers and published in the Inter Noun
tain at that time. among other things,
showed an endowment for a Celtic chair
in the Catholic college at Washington.
D.. c. Most of the members of the A, O,
H. are miners.
The organization owns a fine building
in Centerville and Anaconda, both cost.
ing about $3.50. 900.
What is mentioned above does not
enumerate all the Catholic societies of
Butte. The Austrians have their soci-
cites and the Italians nave their socie.
ties, all Of a benevolent order.

The above illustration shows one of the
mammoth buildings occupied by the great
Mail Order House of the John NJ Smyth
Company of Chicago.
For one-third of century this Company
has been in business. Beginning in small
way they supplied their neighbors in the
nearby towns, each year widening their
field. They are now selling merchandise d.
rect to the consumer at wholesale prices
throughout the United States.
Some years ago they began supplying
their customers with an illustrated cata-
logue. As the business expanded they
were obliged to increase the size of this
catalogue, until to-day it exceeds 1000 illus
:rated pages, quoting the lowest wholesale
prices on everything to Eat, Wear and Use.
By a superior process of color photography
they illustrate many Of their goods in natural
colors, bringing out the rich color value Of
curtains, carpets, draperies, and the latest
designs in wall papers, etc, thus enabling
the customer hundreds of miles distant to
select goods at his own fireside, knowing by
the description, illustration and price the
class of goods he may expect.

rare that he shows even impotence. One
day while travelling on a suburban trolley

cars at certain point. Soon afterward the
car stopped and he was surprised to see out
side the very friend he was seeking. He
started to leave the car, when the conductor
accosted him. "You can't change for your
car here" he said. brusquely. The pro.
change cars here, tell you" snapped the
conductor again. The professor, deep in
conversation with his friend, merely waved
his hand to signify that the car might go
on without him. Here" cried the man
in brass buttons, angrily, don't l tell You
that you can't change cars at this place?''
Then the good old professor answered with
severity: "But / can change my mind at
