In an article in a recent number
of the RevieW Of Revtews, we find
it stated that about sixty fraternal
beneficial Orders have a member
ship of 100000 a gain of about
100000 in the year. At the time
at which the article was written
the value of the certificates in
force was $3,4oo, 100000. The old
line life insurance companies at
the same time had insurance in
force to the value of S5,7oo,ooo
900. The cost of management for
the year 1898 of the life insurance
companies, with about two-thirds
of the entire Insurance in force in
both the old line and fraternal,
was ST. 1898, sol, while the cost of
management of the fraternal So
cieties, with one-third of the in
surance in force in the old line and
fraternals was 81, $50, $50.

we'll taken and will furnish much
food for thought.
If all "old liners" were as good
and true as their literature and
advertisements represent them to
be, what beautiful time the
widow would have-a verltable
bed of roses, but unfortunately
many a poor widow has found the
hidden thorn that has transfixed
her and will hold her a slave as
long as she can hold body and
soul together.

Who Will Provide?

Men usually make preparations
to meet their deaths. They plan
ahead to scrape enough money
together to buy shoes for the girls,
boots for the boys and to pay their
interest. If they know when a
note is due they do not wait until
the day before and then lament
their credit is gone if that note
goes to protest. One debt we all
have to pay-the great debt of
nature-when we give up our
lives. There is no one can meet
this for you; no one to pay part.
The individual must pay it all.
What preparation are you making?
Who will provide for wife and
children when you are gone?
Where will the boots and shoes
come from? Don't you think you
would be very uncomfortable sit
ting within the gates of the New
Jerusalem with the full knowledge
of the condition of your family?
Do you think you could look the
Lord in the face knowing what he
said, He who fails to provide for
his family is worse than an in
fidel?" Do you? Well, if you do,
go on as you now are. Eat, drink
and smoke up what you should
buy protection with, then if the
Lord trowns on you, don't say no
body warned you, but get around
behind something and spend
thousand years or so kicking the
center of your robe of state.

They Promise Too Much.

The A. o. u. w. has won a
proud distinction the fulfillment of
all the promises it has ever made,
but it has been judicious in its
promises; it has only agreed to
give to the benehciaries of its
deceased members the sum of one
thousand or two thousand dollars
as he may have stipulated, to-
gether with such mutual helpful
ness and social advantages and
care in sickness as springs from
the brotherly association of the
Lodge room. There are now other
societies that promise everything
that anybody can think of, in
Guiding in their sick list benefits,
old age benefits, accident benefits,
paid-up policies, tombstones, ETC.,
etc, and all this and much more
they undertake to give at rates of
assessment lower than the Work
men have ever charged. Do not
people know before they enlist
themselves in the ranks of such
societies, that the mortality claims
which have to be paid will be
about the same in one society as
another, and do they not know
that after having made provisions
for all this that all other benefits
promised must likewise be paid

Woman's general health depends largely
upon the local health of the organs dis
tinctively feminine. Irregular periods in
maidenhood, followed after marriage by
debilitating drains, and the common con-
sequences of motherhood, inflammation,

for? Sick benefits and old age
benefits cost money. When paid
up policies are given, somebody
must pay, and when tombstones
are erected the marble man must
be settled with. All this cannot
be done without money, and the
promises that such will be done,
with the rates of assessments less
than have been required to meet
the mortality in the A. O. U. W.,
is an advanced guarantee that the
promise cannot be fulfilled. Let
people be wise and do a little
thinking for themselves.-1Ae

Fraternal Moaitorlsms.

Duty should require no argu-
ment.
No man living is sure of sim
gle hour.
Consistency of purpose is the
secret of success.
Neglected duty often brings un-
looked for results and loss.
Don't waste any time in finding
fault for life is very short.
If you must kick do it in the
Lodge-room, not in the street.
Don't make debating club out
of your Lodge-room, and avoid
cliqueism.
A charter surrounded by port
ralts of the charter members makes
fine addition to your Lodge
room.
A suspended member is often
reinstated with less argument than
it requires to bring in new materi-
al.
1t is the duty of the wife to see
that provision for the widow is
promptly paid and kept in full
force.
Many Orders find that expert
ence is the best teacher, but such
a tutor often command very high
salary.
The black ball is a weapon to be
used only against the unmanly.
1t should never be raised to satisfy
a personal grudge.
He who claims to be our friend
and flatters when he should criti-
else, is no longer our friend but an
enemy in ambush.
Those who put off paying as
sessments until the last day may
get left when that day arrives and
finds their widows on the put-off
list.
Suspensions are the greatest
drain any Order can have, and if
it were not for these nearly all
Orders would be nearly double in
numbers.
The Treasurer of a Lodge should
not be elected because he is popu-
lar or an active member, but be-
cause he is solvent ard a good f.
nancier.
A western paper reports funer-
al without a corpse. This is no
more surprising than death with
out a certificate of protection in
this enlightened age.
The widows demands are very
much like the colored preachers
who, on demanding his salary, re-
marked, "Bredern, | can't preach
here and board in heb'n."
Inequalities in refraction pro-
duce rainbows. The same in a
Lodge-room makes it attractive,
ann the whole blends together and
produces pleasing reality.
Do not be ashamed to take a
small policy if that is all you feel
able to carry. A small one is a
step in the right direction and will
have it's weight in the end.

finest collection of cats in the

that legal reserve is just as es-

milk man. The comparison is

Senator Jones says that we are in the
midst of prosperity, and that for this
reason the workingmen win vote for
Bryan. The way he works himself
around to this strange conclusion is
that inasmuch as there Is a demand
for labor the workingmen will not be
coerced into voting against his best
judgment through fear Of losing his job
The point which Jones doesn't explain
very clearly is why the workingman
should vote against an administration

hence the grab game OF the Canadian
authorities has TO end. or at least to
take a new form.
The establishment OF an assay ONCE
at Dawson will enable the government
to collect a handsome revenue. under
the guise OF an assay charge; and IL
the Office is conducted as others have
been in the Yukon, will rapidly enrich
the officials. The poorer miner will. of
course. have to take the assay which
the government officials furnish him.
while the wealthy ones. who can afford
to have check assays made. will receive
liberal treatment
OF course. when the new ONCE is es-
tablished. large share of the Dawson
gold which has heretofore gone to the
Seattle assay Office win cease to come
this way. Its place. however. will be
made good by the gold from the new
fields Of Alaska, which have been and
which will hereafter be developed large
ly by the practical miners driven from
the Canadian Yukon by the abuses OF
the Canadian government There is
one advantage 10 the Alaskan miner.
His gold is worth per cent more than
1t would be on the Canadian side 81
the line. for this government charges
nothing for its services in assaying or
minting gold
