Presbyterians Must Leave the Lodges.

The Presbyterian church has made a
demand that its members must with
draw from secret societies. No greater
mistake could have been made by the
church, and just what it expects to ac-
complish is a mysterty. The secret So
cieties do work that is beyond the
power of the church. 1t is practical
work that goes to the bed of the sick
with nurses, medicine and doctors, that
gives the dead a decent burial and that
takes care Of the widows and orphans.
Lodges look after their members in a
way that the churches can not because
of the lack of proper system. They
make the stranger of the fraternity well
come in their midst. They aid him to
secure employment. They feed him
when hungry and without money, and
only ask in return that he be in good
standing in the lodge of which he is a
member. 1t is true the lodges contain
"black sheep" but show US church
that does not, yet this fact does not re-
tard the work of either.
In many lines the work of the lodge
and church is identical. The secret so
cieties that have stood the test of years
have for their aim the happiness, the
elevation, the betternent of mankind.
They teach men to love one another.
They uphold the good and abhor the
evil. They prohibit none of their mem
bers belonging to any church he may
choose. They are doing grand and
noble work-a work that can be accom-
plished in no other way-and the
church that prohibits its members be
longing to q secret society makes mis-.
take that limits its work and retards ite
growth.

THE LITTLE WHITE HEARsE.
(By Ella Wheeler wilcox.)

(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.)
Son,ebody's baby was bured today
The empty white hearse from the grave rumhed hack
the somehow seemed less smiling and gay
As passed walk while It crossed on its way,
shadow seemed drawn DER the suns Roldan track
Somebody's baby was laid out to rest,
White as u sIowdrop, and fair to behold
the little hands crossed over the breast
And those hands the lips and the eyeis pressed
With kisses as hot the eyeids were cold.
Somebody saw il 90 out Of her sight
Under he coffin lii-ou through the door;
Somebody finds only darkness and blight
All through the glory of suininer-sun light;
Somebody's baby will waken no more.
Somebody's is making me weep
l know her namc hut echo her cry,
For the dearly bought baby she longed so to keep,
The baby that rode in its ong-lasting sleep
In the little white hearse that went rumbng by
know her name, hut her sorrow know;
While paused on the crossing / lived II once nioe
And back to my heart s'lrged that river of woe
That but in the breast of a mother can flow,
For little white hearse has been, too, at my door,

A VICTORY FOR BROWN.

BY actual count, Browns College
night sessions are the largest ir
| Fairfield county. The actual business
course is approved by business men ano
students are delighted. A whole room
full of satisfied students performing
genuine business transactions, gives
the appearance and air of a regular
contingencies rather than a school
room. A large class has enrolled for
the course in stenography and type
writing, and are making rapid progress.
The Graham system is taught by a
capable instructor of practical expert,
ence. 1t is the easiest to learn, easiest
to read, and shortest to write. For
those interested in the study of
stenography, Prof Brown will be
pleased to mail a booklet contrasting
the Graham System with the Benn
Pitman System free. The instruction
in all departments is entirely individ-
ual, enabling students to begin the
work any day or evening, and progress
as rapidly as their capabilities will
allow. Special attention is given to
the progress of backward students.
The college office at ISL State street is
open every day and evening, and Prof
Brown, the hustling principal, will be
pleased to explain the work to anyone
