in this regard could or would have been
more faithful in the performance of the

.dr. David J. Charles, whose picture

for the post of warden at the coming
election. This will put him in line for
succession to the grand mastership; it
is believed by many that there is small
doubt OF his election to the office, as his
friends are unanimous for his advance
ment in the order.

CLIMBING
THE SOCIAL
LADDER

r. HE question Of just how much news
paper notice, whether of putting"
or the reverse, benefits the social
aspirations of, say, some new beauty am
bilious to win place in fashionable So
ciety, and through it to accomplish a
brilliant or wealthy marriage is still
an open one. A good deal depends upon
the way in which the notice is secured
and how it reads.
Until recently no new girl, no matter
how beautiful or clever, whose family
or people We're not known in or to fash
ionable New York society, could secure a
really good entree to that society with
out the appOval Of certain old and con-

set of restless minded and very wealthy
young matrons and their friends, it has
become possible for young women hith-

acquire position through initial news

This is due to the fact that curiosity
and the desire for novelty are the pre-
vailing influences in New York's smart
est social life. The recent instances that
prove the statement come to mind in
this connection.
The application of the term 1.-The new

AS to the order of Odd Fellows itself,
It might be Well here to give brief out
line of the national and Montana state
orders from the time of their early in
cipiency. up to the present time.
Remote antiquity is by no means
claimed for the order by it's followers. in
comparison with some others, yet as far
back as the first part of the eighteenth
century an eminent writer of the period
mentions society then existant banding
themselves under the name of the Odd
Fellows. Also one of the literary maya
zines of England, about the middle of the
century, speaks of Odd Fellows lodges
as then in formation, the members Of
the order meeting for the purpose Of
passing pleasantly quiet evenings in the
companioship of each other.
The early English lodges were main
tanned through contributions made by
every attendant member or visitor.
While these contributions were of ne
cessity small, the spirit with which they
were inspired was none the less great.
If the lodges were held frequently, as
was the case. and the attendance was
good, the treasury was kept in a fair
state of replen:shment. By such means
were the wants Of the needy supplied,
and assistance rendered to the deserv-
ing.
The membership of the order in those
days was, for the most part, made up
of poorly paid laborers and mechanics,
and with THE great masses of these, all
striving for mere existence, there was
very little chance for the increase Of
their worldly goods. Upon the approach

cutting off of the income from the head

case, the wife and mother went into the

~ < Trap

The slickest confidence man that
ever perambulated down the pike was
in Memphis last week and did
some smooth business of the bunko
variety according to Patrolman Pat
Horans that makes the clumsy Mem
phis method pale into insignificance,
says the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Officer Koran refuses to give names,
but he says that the victim in the case
was king bee Memphis con man who
thinks he is more than two or three"
and who happened to be out looking
for hayseeds. The con man dropped
into a certain hotel in Memphis to lay
for a fish," and he had gotten him
self up to pass for a commercial trav-
eler. He was soon spotted by the
slick one,' who seemed to have a lofty
scorn for the innocent "Rubes'' and
loved to make monkeys out of the
swell-head frauds who think they
know it all. Not long after the ''slick"
one spotted the Memphis shark hay

floor and then walked over to the

chance at the cuspidor and missed,
and then, addressing the clerk, asked:
Has Bill Smith been here looking for
me?" The clerk looked up, and, see
ing chance for some fun, began to
humor the old man. The Memphis
shark grew interested and drew near.
Soon the whole hotel knew the old
mans story. Bill Smith was a strang-

borrowed $50 from him to pay q
freight BILL promising to meet RUDE
at the hotel and pay it back. RUDE
was certain he would be in soon, be-

advised to go on and forget Bill Smith
as he would never see Bill any more.

Inefficient English Labor.

An English architect, writing in the
Nineteenth Century, traces the threat
ened commercial decline of England
to the harmful domination of the labor
unions. While these organizations are
steadily forcing up wages, they are at
the same time cutting down the ac-
tual working hours until these are
now said to average little more than
four hours of honest work each day.
Union men in the building trades in
England are expected to work fifty
hours a week in summer and forty
seven in winter, thus making an aver
age of about eight hours a day. But
when they are paid at noon on Satur-
day many of them are not seen again
on the building until the following
Tuesday, by which time they have
spent all their wages. Their absence
throws the contractor into serious
trouble, but he cannot put new men in
their places. This is only one OF many
ways in which the unions are said to
delay the work and make it expensive.

The "A nf6rocife Situation.

Matters in the Pennsylvania coal
regioH seem to be drifting toward an
other deadlock between the miners and
the employers. The owners recently
announced their determination to
maintain the present wage scale and
to settle all differences individually
with the employees. In accordance
with this line of action they have re-
manned away from the Hazleton con-
ference, at which they were expected
to meet the union miners and discuss q
new wage scale for the coming year.
Their absence is resented by the min
ers, and the 500 delegates in the con-
vention have passed resolutions autho-
rizing President Mitchell and the ex-
ecutive committee to try to secure a
Joint conference with the operators
before April 1. If they fail to secure
such conference they are authorized,
if necessary, to resort to a suspen-
