ganiat ton formed which will have an
insurance feature. The idea is to fur
nish the workers with money should
they be i'll or unable to work for time.
Nothing definite has been done about
that feautre of the idea. At the first
meeting held speeches We're made by
different persons on Good WILL"

and very democratic feeling pre-
vailed. The meeting was so successful
that another will lie neld very soon.
Well known persons will be asked to
deliver addresses on such topics as
Good Storekeeping," High Morals"
and other topics calculated to interest
those interested in a mercantile con-
Germ. There are 240 employees of the

tnusiastic meeting last Tuesday even
ing. There was Il large attendance
and business was transacted in the
speediest manner ever known in the
division room. Thomas Devery makes
an ideal presiding officer. He is fair.
efficient and expeditions. three quail
ties essential for a chairman. Tommy
makes 10 noise, but he yields the
gavel about as well as anyone could.
And Mike Meagher is all right as vice
president. Bro. Meagher is Il big man
and the vice chair will hardly hold his
ample proportions: and Mike is as
generous as he is big. Will Casey, the
divisions official stenographer, is up
to-date as Il concise and accurate mill
ute taker. Will is Il splendid young
man and he and Bro. Dan Farrell can
lick any two members of their age and
weight that No. I can trot out. Bro.
John l.. Gleason handles the financial
end of No. land he does it well. The
office of financial and insurance sccre-
talT is no sinecure. 1t is the most diff
ticult office in the division. TO run
this office right the man who fills it
must be patient and diplomatic. He
has to lose Il dollar occasionally for
the good Of the cause. and it often hap

Gleason frequently goes down in his
own pocket to keep them in good
standing
No. 1 has a treasurer vino is away
up in the business and political and So

handle, and his present place of abode
is 'Glengarry Cedar Lake, where the
ubiquitous John has built a beautiful

welcome to walk up to the front door
and lift the latch without knocking
Bro. Meagher and Mike and Nj. j. Gill
have started summer resort ut Cedar
Lake, and have christened it Glen

tive spots in Ireland. The hand of
friendship and a good cigar will be
given every Hibernian who visits
"Glengarry.' Here's hoping they'll
all call before the season closes. No.
1 is one of those divisions that attract
visiting members and the last meet
ing was graced by ]. c. O'Kecffc. the
poet, storyteller and well-known tailor
Joe spoke along the line of practical
Iibernianism. He urged the brothers
to do something for one another while
living, and said that post mortem trb-
utes are hardly appreciated by the de-
parted. who may have died neglected
and without the attention and love
that should be shown in life. NJ. j.
Brahney. Joe McDermott. II. S. Gro
gan. John Menalis and John Neagher,
Jr., also contributed to the evenings
entertainment. Detective Edward Hell
in, whose reputation as a thief catcher
extends from Minneapolis to the coast,
dropped in at the close of the meeting
and made quite a speech. Thus ended
one of the best meetings held by No.
