\ GOOD THING TO DO.

1t is a good idea TO spend a good
deal Of time among the chickens in the
different breeding yards, for in this
way only can a fancier become famil-
lar with all his chickens and their ma.
lures. What farmer would keep a fe-
male for breeding purposes after he
has discovered that she is barren, and
what careful breeder of poultry will
keep hen that does not lay or that
lays only few eggs. In the first in
stance the hog would be fattened and
sent TO the slaughter house. and in the
second instance the specimen could
be roasted and served with oyster
dressing to appreciative invited guests
or even TO the family.

A New Society.

About a year ago the JOURNAL
published list of the secret socie-
ties and fraternities having organi-
cations in this city. The number
of such societies was a source of
surprise to many, and they will be
again astonished to know that a
new insurance fraternity has sprung
into existence in "our midst" since
the dying of the old year which bids
fair to equal and perhaps excel any
OF these older orders, in numbers at
least, and possibly in popularity
It's insurance feature is a unique
plan which absolutely guarantees
the safety of the members policies,
admitting all !, healthy persons of
either sex who are willing to do
right and live temperately. It's
name is THE Yeomen of America"
and the reason that it is safe is it is
self-sustaining. Each member must
pay the cost price of his or her in
surance, and thus Peter rs net rob-
bed to pay Paul, and they hold that
in this way only can any fraternity
give permanent insurance.
The council has exerted every
energy to make the social feature
success and the rapid and healthy
growth of the order proves the wis
dom of their plan. Tuesday even
ing they met about so strong, and
with the aid of P. A. Schuarr of
Chicago and Arthur Priceless of
Minneapolis and the general mana
ger, ]. w. Smell, they instituted
their council No. 268 and did their

She is happy now on that beautiful shore
Has crossed the river SO deep.
She is now where pain and sadness and strife
Can never reach her again;
And as you journey on through this life,
She'd have you do the best you can.
She may hear, she may see, she may mourn If

She would not have you weep at her loss,
She would say, "Al is well, =" as you journey
life through.

NORMAL VS.. MANCHESTER.
The Normal team defeated the
fast Manchester team in a well-play-

last Friday evening by score of 80
to 16. The, game was. we'll played,
both teams showing good team
work, the Normal team surprising

their play.

game was rough; due TO the fact
that the High school boys are new
at the game, but the best of feeling
prevailed throughout.
co. c, HUDSON VS.. CITY TEAM.
The game Saturday evening at
Opera Hall between Co. c team of
Hudson and the City team was in
teresting from spectator stand
point and yet it was very unsatis-
factory to the spectators by reason
of the fact that in the second half
the home team was treated unfairly
by the Hudson official. Out-p1ay-
ed in team work and out-pointed in
individual play the Hudson team
carried off the victory by score of
81 to q. Their victory was due to
the untiring and INSCRIPTIONS eff
forts of their official, one Crogan,
who attended to the Hudson teams
welfare regardless of justice. The
Hudson team has wide reputation
for victories won, but if their repu-
tation was gained for them by their,
official it is not enviable. Aune, the
home official, was eminently fair
and satisfactory to both teams.
The home team played good basket
ball and with fair treatment would
have won. Our boys, however, act
ed like gentlemen and took their
defeat like men. After the game
there was an informal dance until
twelve O'Clock.
