THE STORY OF AN AFGHAN.

In the monthly report Of Mrs. 5. Bernstein State
president of the Pennsylvania branch of the T 5.
s, incident is related which illustrates the
spirit OF helpfulness among shut in members.
An invalid in Vermont had lOnged for years t. have
afghan, but not able TO procure the
essary wOrsteds. Some time ago a friend, hearing
OF her desire. sent some remnants OF wool. about
half the quantity required, and again the invalid
waited. A shut in correspondent of the Vermont
member who lives in Pennsylvania learned all
about this strong wish for the afghan. and deter
minted TO sunshine TO her afflicted pen friend
From time TO time. little wool had come into
her possession, she had crocheted forty squares,
with the hope of some day having slumber robe
of her They were, however. all sent with
good cheer words Vermont.
This sunshine act involved some self-sacrihce,
and the president. hoping that this goodwill
ton may have its reward asks T 5. 5. members
who have even only small quantity of woods to
spare TO please pass II TO Emma J. Rogers,
Waynesburg, Green County. Penn, that she may
enjoy the reflected sunshine Of her own good act.

1t has been suggested by some
that the A. O. U. w. is simply an
insurance organization. II any one
thinks this is true, he has only to
visit little Lodge in western Mass
achusetts, which is at the present
time supporting two of its members
in hospitals, and not only paying
their bills, but keeping them in good
standing. Is there any old line in
surance company that would do
this for its policy holders? This is
by no means a single instance, for
in every Jurisdiction there are
Lodges giving the same care and
fraternity to their members.-1he

Considerable talk was created
when the Classified Plan was first
placed into effect about the hard
ship falling upon the older MEM
bers. The plan, as far as it consist
emily could, provided for them by
adding about 20 per cent. upon the
younger members and deducting
this from the older members
amount. By this means the rate
was placed at 1886. A big hearted
Brother in Kansas now comes for
ward and makes the following
proposition in the Workman:
81 will be one of 10000 members
of our Order in the State of Kansas
to give, not loan, the Grand Lodge
$500, which will make a fund
100000 to carry such Brothers as
are recommended by the Lodge to
which they belong, When such
Brother dies, the amount paid out
of this fund to be kept out of the
amount paid to his beneficiary, and
paid back to this fund, thus pre-
serving it intact forever"
By means of his plan those
Brethren who are in INDECENT cir
cumstances could not be allowed to
lapse their certificates.

The step-rate plan of the A. 0.
U. w. has been steadily winning
the confidence of the mem bers from
the day of its inception until the
present time, and now over 100000
of the membership have voluntari-
ly enrolled under it. The following
endorsement of its principles by
Hon. N. 5. Boynton, the founder of
the Maccabees, will be of interest at
the present time: "The step-rate
plan is more in harmony with CO.
operation and fraternity than any
other under which the fraternals
are now operating. 1t carries out
the principle of furnishing protect
ion at current cost from year to
year. 1t is not as arbitrary as the
fixed rate where stipulated
amount has to be paid whether or
not the money 20 collected is re-
quired to pay accruing liabilities. "
The A. O. U. W. has been most
fortunate ever since it's inception in
the changes it has made. Such
changes have been along the line
aud ever in harmony with its fun
dameuta tai principle, that it protects
the home in the cheapest possible
manner. For time after the
Classified Plan was inaugurated it
was contended by some and feared
by many that departure had been
made from first principles. With
impartial investigation fears were
dispeIled, confidence restored and
when fully understood admiration
for the change was the result as
they we're recognized as necessary
in projecting the system which all
had learned to love and venerate,
The Unqualified endorsement of the
principles of the step-rate plan by
N. :. Boynton, one of the foremost
leaders of fraternaIism, is very
gratifying indeed, coming as it does
unsolicited. - Wdtchmdn.

A Successful Deputy.

A successful deputy is by no
means measured by the number of
applications he may hand in. An
nuscrupulous or injudicious deputy
may send in large number of ap'
plications and receive his commits
sion for securing them, but if he
imagines his value is estimated by
numbers secured he is misguided
and mistaken.
There are many professional dep
uties who drift from one fraternal
Order to another, never able to re-
main with any one Order for any
length of time.
They think it allowable to make
misrepresentation to people, and
if they get their application they
think they are that much ahead.
Such deputies can never work the
same territory the second time.
Two-thirds of their applicants Sc
cured drop out at the first assess
ment call.
Such deputies should start over
in life and begin with the A, B, G
axiom that "honesty is the best
policy"
We do not believe there is a fra
ternal Order connected with the
National Fraternal Congress that
would for an instant countenance
the practice of misrepresentation
or deception by its solicitors. AT
the last session If the Congress
there was started a movement con
templating that the various Orders
should post each other AS to who
are reliable and who are unrelia BILE
organizers.
We are thankful to say, however,
that in our experience in the fra
ternal field we have found the
tricky, dishonest deputy the rare
exception, while as a rule the aver
age fraternal organizer is an honest,
cultured gentleman, far too manly
to stoop to deceit and too sagacious
to resort to misrepresentation or
misstatements.
The most successful deputy is
the one whose work shows the few
est number of suspensions, and who
is always a welcome guest at the
home of every applicant secured by
him.-Loyal Guard.
