a Deserved Tribute to the Rebekahs.
Triple Link Notes.

Triple Link Notes.
The California Odd Fellow, in speaking
of the work of the trustees for the Or
phans home, pays the following compll-
ment to the sisters who constitute the
board: These sisters are watching over
that noble institution and its little
charges with the care and solicitude of a
Christian mother over her children One
by one they have brushed aside or over
come the difficulties that seemed almost
to bar further progress until success has
crowned their efforts and the Orphans
home is recognized as one of the perma-
nent and growing benefcent institutions
of our order, whose inmates, sheltered in
their tender years from the bufSetlnS
blasts of adverse fortune, will in due time
go out into the world properly trained
and equipped to meet the struggles which
are inseparable from human life"
The subordinate lodge is what we make
it. 1t must be fraternal and social. There
are sick to be cared for, distreSseS to be
relieved, the dead to be given fraternal
burial.
The Rebekahs of Halifax have griev-
ance. 1t is that the male members of the
lodge do not attend its meetings.
The four commands of the order have
been fully made known to every Odd
Fellow. They are to visit the sick, to re-
lieve the distressed, to bury the dead and
to educate the orphan.
The rejection of an application for
membership based upon the deposit of a
visiting card subjects such applicant to
the provisions of law that forbid appli-
cants rejected to apply to any lodge for
admission within six months after such
rejection.
Not less than five members entitled to
VOTE one of whom must be qualified to
preside, shall constitute quorum, but
with that number only present no appro-
priation of money shall be made except
by unanimous vote.
Every member who is in good standing
and has attained the third degree and is
clear on the books shall have a right to
vote on any question in which he has no
personal interest.
When the vice grand of a subordinate
lodge is given authority to appoint his
own supporters, the noble grand cannot
prevent their installation upon the claim
that the appointees are not acceptable to
him.
The provision of article IL providing
that no brother shall vote upon question
in which he has a personal interest is in
tended to submit the decision of questions
to impartial judges
When a grand officer is visiting official
ly subordinate lodge. he should be intro
duced after he has addressed the chairs
and should be then received with the hon
ors of the order.
The vice grand while occupying the
chair of the noble grand should wear the
regalia of the noble grand.
The funds of the lodge shall be appro-
priated only for the relief of sick and dis
tressed brethren and their families, for
defraying the necessary contingent ex-
penses of the lodge, for assistance to sis
ter lodges and building and repairing and
furnishing such hall or halls as may be
authorized by the grand lodge.

UNITED WORkMEN.
The Relief Fund n Safeguard of the
Order-Chips From the Workshop.

The relief fund supplies the place of a
reserve or emergency fund for the entire
order and represents an annual available
sum sufficient to meet any emergency
which may arise. Through this large and
secure contingent fund each member is
absolutely safe in the guarantee of the
order as TO it's ability to fulfill its pledges
made to him.
The total membership of the order is
now about 100000.
. No restrictions are put upon the place
of residence of the members. When death
occurs away from home, all that is re-
quired is proof of identity.
One or two thousand dollars is the sum
paid to the benefciaries of a deceased
member. Benefciaries are confined to
blood relatives or dependents and cannot
be diverted from this purpose, nor is any
part of claim liable for debts of de-
ceased member.
Each grand lodge is required to levy
assessments upon its members to pay the
benefits on deaths occurring within its
jurisdiction, collect, manage and disburse
the same according to the regulations and
laws of the order.

The Kisses of the Frost.


Don't you feel your spirits tinglng with new
and grateful thrill,
Every nerve within you jingiing with ring that
fills the bill,
Every muscle keen for action, every sinew strung
anew,
And your active brain expelling every shade OF
saddening blue,
Al you rise these lovely mornings from bed of
dreamless sleep,
When the getting drowsy and the day
begins to peep
When the grasses and the bushes with spar
king gems embossed
And you feel the singing kisses of the saucy au-
tumn frost2
All the lassitude of summer hides its head in lazy
And, no longer Being winner, indolently jumps
the game:
In the eyes there comes sparkle of resuscitated
light,
Putting all the Hstless glances full of sleepiness
to flight
And the brain gets up action full of 'vigorated
snap,
And the feet ring the pavement with an cher
getic rap
As the hair by playful of vitality is tossed
And we feel the singing kisses of the saucy
tumn FROST
How it tints the fresh young faces of the maidens
with flush
That outrivals cen the softness of the ripened
peach blush,
step graceful spring
As it gallantly salutes them with the sweetness
of its stingl
hummer has its ripe attractions, spring its floral
beauties rare,
And the winter is enhancing when with gems 1t
studs the air,
But other seasons beauties admiration soon is
lost,
And we feel the singing kisses of the saucy
tumn frost.
Take the slowest good for nothing fetched
lazy Yawn,
Drag him from his bed of slumber when the day
begins to dawn,
And you'll a strange awakening in his dull
and slothfull eyes,
And the freshness of the morning treats him to
surprise.
There is life in every zephyr, there is tonic in the
breeze
As it whispers words of comfort to the slowly dy
ing trees,
And we say that life's worth living at whatever
be the cost,
And we feel the singing kisses of the saucy
tumn frost

And some to sing their songs.

He who adds to the worlds nirth
And its wealth of hope and cheer
Some at the forge and some in the mine,
Some to toll in the counting room,

Some to minister to disease
Some to instruct and to preach,
Some to charm with the gifts of speech
And with melodies
Some to shine and some to plod,
Some to walk with the rich and great,
Some to rule in affairs OF state
And some to tell of God.

Oh, this is the way the baby came:
Out OF the night comes the dawn,
Out of the embers the fame,
Out of the bud the blossoms on
The apple bough that blooms the same
As in glad summers dead and gone,
With grace and beauty none could name
Oh, this is the way the baby camel
And this is the way the baby woke:
And when in deepest drops of dew
The shine and shadows sink and soak
The sweet eyes glimmered through and
through.
And eddyings and dimples broke
About the lips, and no one knew
Or could divine the words they spoke
And this is the way the baby woke!
And this is the way the baby slept:
mist OF tresses backward thrown
BY quavering signs where kisses crept
With yearnings she had never known.
The little bands were closely kept
About a lily newly blown,
And God with her, and wept-
And this is the way the baby slepti
