The Independent Order of Foresters
are inaugurating a vigorous winter cam
paign, and for the months of November,
December, and January are renting to
new members the registration and certi-
ficate fees, which applicants usually have
to pay upon joining. The order has
made wonderful strides during the year,
and will add to its membership many
thousands during the next three months
Its membership roll now contains a
good deal over 100000 of insured or
beneficiary members. Its accumulated
funds reach to almost S6,000,000; and
these funds are increasing at the rate of
three-uuarters of million dollars year,
Notwithstanding that the order pays out
$500 every working hour of the year to
widows and orphans. A record OF over
100000 already paid promptly on
death claims stands to its credit. The |.
o. F. is undoubtedly great and pro
gressive institution. The report upon
its investments, made by committee
composed of able and independent
brethren at the Supreme Court meeting
in Los Angeles, stated that in all the in
vestments of its funds the Supreme Elk
ecutive had never lost a dollar. This il
certainly a unique experience.

A Great Surprise.

A great surprise was shown on some,
and knowing looks were depicted on
others, of the faces about town Wednes-
day when it became known that Prof.
0. G.. Thomas had left on the morning
train for Boston, taking away with him
one of Island Ponds popular young
ladies', who has been his bride for the
past seven months, formerly Miss Ma
belle LeBourveau. While to many of
their most intimate friends this has
been known for some time, and while
rumors have been buzzing about the ears
of others concerning this happy culmi-
nation of mutual liking for each other
begun nearly two years ago, yet Prof.
and Mrs. Thomas surprised the majority
of us. A reception was rendered them
Tuesday evening at the Lakeview,which
was very pleasant affair, and at which
dainty refreshments were served. The
congratulations extended were warm and
sincere for they have wide circle OF
friends, and they were the recipients OF
many elegant gifts. They will reside
in Boston, Prof. Thomas being connected

An Exciting Hunt.

Last Thursday DIR. Ellie thought lie
would drop all cares pertaining to his
profession and become huntsman bold.
Accordingly he and companion, P. G.
Flaherty, train dispatcher, shouldered
their guns and made for the woods.
They tramped some distance when they
came across deer track Following
this for some time they espied another
track, recently made, which the doctor
declared was that of a bear. After some
discussion they agreed to follow in the
track of bruin, which ultimately led
them to large tree lying on the ground,
badly decayed. Here the trail was lost,
and repeated endeavors to find it only
brought the hunters again to this tree,
whereupon the doctor remarked "guess
he's up tree" Hearing a noise in the
decayed tree they were quick to come to
the conclusion that they had freed the
bear after all Trembling with excite
ment each was willing to concede the
other the first shot, la CASTOR and
Alphonse, until finally the persuasive
powers of Mr.. Flaherty prevailed, and
he gracefully retired in favor OF the doc.
tor. The latter stationed his companion
at one end of the tree, went himself to
the other and fired several shots, and
from the disturbance in the tree judged
| he had been successful in routing the
bear out. Visions of a choice cut Of
bear meat and substantial bounty be
sides danced before the now aroused
doctor, and he ran across the tree to SEE
if the bear had come out. In so doing
he stepped into hole in the tree plump
on to an immense hedgehog secreted
there. A muttered Sacre was doubt
less his exclamation, and then two tired
disappointed and crest fallen hunters re
turned home empty-handed. Meanwhile
his companion is doubtless secretly Ell
loving the doctors discontinue, TO
he relates the exciting episode witt
great gusto.
