The recent exposure of the embez-
element of the Trust funds by Banker
1 Xmk of the Modern Woodmen of the
World and John A. Hinsey. President
of the Board of Control of the .Endow-
ment Rank of the Knights of Pythias,
shows to what deplortble depths of
degradation and shame men can be
led to by temptation. These men once
held the admiration and esteemed con-
fidence of the people they represented.
and evinced great sagacity and up
rightedness for time, in the manage
ment of the business intTusted to them,
but temptation and the confidence inn
posed in them. beguildsd them and
they became the open embezzlers
of the most sacred funds ever entrast-
ed to mans keeping; that of the sacred
fund, which the man who in prosperity
and health lays up for the comfort of
those whom he loves and who are de-
been called away fiom him. The
crime of the highway man who kills
and robs his victims On the rodesiie or
that of the burglar who breaks in and
steals under the cover of night. fails in
insignihcancc beside the crime of the
confidential officers in high places. who
robs, steals and takes away from the
widow and orphan of their fraternal
brother the treasure laid up for them,
and placed in their hands as sacred
beneficiary trust To be awarded such
widow and orphan. when the husband
and fathers labors are ended forever.
Lead me not INTO temptation" is by
this lesson favorably taught: Trust
no man IN high place." is lesson that
should be learned.

been wisely and honestly handled and
invested, that grand old fraternity,
which has distributed more than $17,-
100000 In the past thirty years to grief
widows and orphans of this
country. would now have more than a
million dollars in the Reserve fund,
instead of being embarrassed by de-
mand for unpaid certificates.
But we are pleased to know that the
Endowment Rank has not lost the con-
fdence of its membership, and Its in
surance to-day. Notwithstanding the
cruel manner in which it has been
robbed, is as safe as a policy in any
old Line Insurance Company.

suits achieved by the SPECIAL Conven-

Summer Training Schools.

There will be no summer training
school in Mile Laos county this year.
Last year the teachers of the rural
schools maintained very successful
training school, but, with very few ex-
captions, the teachers in the village
schools did not attend. This year the
rural schools have been largely filed
with nonresident teachers, who will
not be in the county through the sum-
mer and the county superintendent
deemed it unwise to attempt the hold
ing OF a summer school. If school
officers will CO. operate and endeavor
to secure the attendance of their teach
ers a successful school can be had next
year, if provided for by the State. A
training school will be held at Mora,
commencing July 8, and one at St.
Cloud, a six weeks school, commencing
June "a. Information concerning the
St: Cloud school may be obtained by
writing W. A. Shoemaker, St. Cloud.
