Let this observance eclipse all pas

For nearly one quarter OF centur,
we have been Red Man: infatuated
with the order, u keen observer, ant
actively identified with its advance
ment At no time during that perioo
has Redmnnship been in such elegan
condition as now throughout our grea
reservation. Familiar with its trails
conversant with its chiefs, and roaming
its forests continuously, with an in
quisitive eye and quizzing tongue, ",
flatter ourselves that we speak rs undis
puUed authority when We say the I'm
proved Order of Red Men is simpl,
blouming-so to speak.
Another new tribe has JUST been 10
stituted, several others are in imnie
date prospect and all our tribes ar
attracting the finest material of thei
different localities into the embrace o
freedom, friendship and charity. Trai
in any hunting grounds of Delawar

same sublime discovery il revealed
that all are actuated with the one SOU
thrilling desire, to care ior earh othe
when we can't individually care 70
ourselves; 10 be the one friend j

invisible, inexprsssible, hidden some
thing, that il distinctivey peculiar
Redmanship, and possesses the Pa
Face" soon as he is adopted Re
Man, is surely the what is it," this

tiou that creates the closest, friendl
intercourse and prepares the Re
Man In health to oheerfully, spor

is enthusiastic, the wife knows naugf
but praise and the tots" are full {
it. The good work that We accom-
plish recommends us.
