in his annual report makes the follow.
ing suggestions hi
10 permit applicants to the Daugh-
tiers OF the L. o. r. q. to become
social mambers, instead Of making it
compulsory to adopt the death benefit
feature,
That no councils be instituted in any
city or tow, where council is already
in existence, unless the latter has a
membership Of at least $50 companions.
That councils be requested to SO
arrange their sessions that they will bo
able to mike their remittances to the
supreme treasurer as near the first Of
the month as possible. so that claims
can be paid at earliest moment, and
the suspension CT councils obviated by
having first meeting in second week of
the MONTH tF.H-
That on the back OF withdrawal cards
be printed plank form stating when
the holder thereof was admitted to the
order, the amount paid into the death
benefit fund, and whetherhe was ever
suspended. f
That an experienced organizer be
placed IN the field at an annual salary
of $500 and commission of 50 for
every candidate secured. To extend our
order we must adopt some course. and
no better way oan DO taken than by
employing a practical and experienced
| man. loo much money has been ex-
pended in the past by trihing with
| inexperienced men, and the sooner q
busir esslike plan is adopted, the better

From the Forrest and Stream

There are only two directions in which
a muzzle of gun can safely be pointed;
these are up or down. A shot fired in the
air can scarcely injure any one or any
thing, and one discharged into the ground
is equally harmless Therefore, in all the
different post .ons which the gun assumes
see that it is pointed either up or down
Sometimes a man will be seen who car
ries his gun reversed, holding it by the
muzzle while the fore end rests on the
shoulder and the stock projects behind.
Happily, this practice is not common, for
ii is extremely dangerous, and many meh
have been killed by carrying their guns
in this way. If a man stumbles or steps
In a hole, or catches his foot on a root
and falls, his gun may very likely be
thrown forward with the muzzle directly
toward his body, and may easily enough
be discharged.
Sometimes one may see a boy, or even
a man who will carry the gun across
the back of the neck, with one arm over
the stock and the otner over the barrels,
sometimes with the hand resting on the
muzzle. This is certain to give a very
uncomfortable feeling to any one who hap
pens to be walking by the side of the
person carrying his gun in this fashion
and opposite the muzzle end. While the
danger of a discharge is perhaps not
great, IL is unpleasant 90 10 walking along
with a gun pointed at your neck or head.
A friend of mine told me of something
that happened to him, which l have seen
mentioned in Forest and Stream or in
some book. lie was out hunting with an
Indian. and the two sat down side by
side on hill to look over the country.
The Indian held his rifle across his knees,
and as he sat there he fingered the lock,
raising and lowering the hammer, the
muzzle of the gun being pointed toward
his companion. My friend did not like the
position which he occupied, and rising to
his feet stepped around behind the Indian
TO go to the other side of him, so as to
sit opposite the stock of the gun instead
OF opposite the muzzle, but before he hao
seated himself, the hammer OF the rifle
slipped from under the Indians thumb
and the arm was discharged. II my friend
had not changed his position he would
certainly have been shot, and very likely

might be wiped out before dark by sorns
phenomenal run of luck, so naturally #
is one-day business closing every night
and starting all over again every morn

ing off employees by the day is that a
large percentage of their wages are in
variably played back against the game
THE proprietor of one place told me
lately that he got back at least half. You
see, the help receive extraordinary large
wages considering the work they do
and it's a case of come easy, go easv.
Take. for instance, the men who were
working here last season for the book
makers and getting their $40 a day reg
ularly. You may be surprised to know
that there were mighty few of them who
had enough money to get out of town at
the end of the meet They all intended
to lay by a little for that purpose. but
the temptation to pick winners was too
strong and they kept putting it off from
day to day until the closing found them
broke. Most of them borrowed railroad
fare. Since then they have been work
ing all summer in the North, yet l am
willing to bet they are in exactly the
same condition to-day chat they were in
last spring. They VIII have to borrow
car fare to get back to New Orleans. The
average man thinks $40 a day is an enor-
nous salary for bookmakers clerks, and
he wonders why they don't get rich. It's
all on account of the daily pay roll. II
they were paid once week the chances
are they would hang on to some of the
money. bank it or give it to their wives
Then wages would have to be cut at least
30 per cent.
