FRATERNAL DELEGATES.

state Oranges should Fraternixe and
Compare Methods.
Why would it not be a good idea for
state oranges at their annual meetings
to select or for the worthy master to
appoint fraternal delegates to meet
ings of other state oranges? This
would serve to increase the feeling of
fraternity existing between these bod
les and enhance the interest which one
state grange should take in the work
of the other.
Furthermore. to represent state
grange on such an occasion would be
deemed an honor quite sufficient to
compensate the delegate chosen for the
expense incurred. Men and women
could easily be found at every state
grange meeting who would appreciate
the opportunity. This would, Of course,
be entirely apart from the fraternal
visitation of state grange by the
master of another, custom already
happily in vogue. The purpose of the
appointment of such fraternal dele
gates would not simply be to carry
fraternal greetings. but carefully to
observe the workings Of the grange
visited and report on the same to the
next annual meeting in order that
methods worthy Of emulation might be
adopted If deemed advisable. All state
oranges are working for the same gen
eral end, even as are all subordinate
oranges, but the methods differ. Let
us choose the best and most feasible.

noise had passed and left 1t possible to
be heard, and then resumed their con-
yersation.
After it was all over, and the grown
people looked over the grounds, 1t was
a mystery to them how the boys, with
their short ladders, had been able to
climb over the cornice and on to the fat
topped kitchen roof, but that they had
done it was not to be questioned. In
deed, Skinny and Clarence were on the
roof before the other boys had the hose
fully unreeled. But, try as they might,
they could not make the hose fit over
the spout of the pump. However, there
were two buckets of water on the back
porch, and Dumpy Richardson mounted
halfway up the ladder and handed the
buckets up, while Sneak and the others
pumped and carried the water to them.
Through this endless-chain system guam
titles of water were carried to the roof
and thrown ON the blaze In the shingles
about the tiue just above the fiat roof of
the Kitchen. Pretty soon the fire began
to yield, and then came a big cloud of
smoke that blinded and choked the boys,
but they worked away manfully, until at
length Skinny pronounced 1t out. He and
Clarence both examined the roof and
could not find n spark left. Then they
began to descend, while Dumpy and the
others reeled up the hose and prepared
for the race back. But alasl after 1t was
all oyer-after the danger seemed to be
past-they were destined to meet an ac-
cident. Skinny had descended In safety,
when Clarence slipped by careless step
partly over the edge of the roof, and
went down on the sward below. The
boys were with him In an instant, and, as
he was grooming, Dumpy thought 1t Wis
dom to call for help. So he dashed around
to the front porch and Mr.. Foster and
family ran back to the yard to see what
was the matter.

brother, for Fred was bereft of his
senses.
Twice Tom went down from sight, and
twice arose to the surface, struggling and
strangling. Just as he was about 10 go
under the third time a small hand seized
his collar and steadily pulled him to the
projecting log.
When the noise of the breaking bough
and the splash Of water had drawn Ar
chie's attention from his fish line he
suddenly sprang down the bank, ran out
on the log, without thought of the dam
ger to himself and reached the place

came near enough he grasped his collar
and drew him to the tree trunk, telling
Tom to not attempt to climb on the log,

hands and feet" he advised, while get
turned about and pilot you to the bank"
1t was the work of few minutes for
drowned Tom safe on terra firma, where,
as he shook the water from himself.
Fred threw his arms about his dripping
form and cried louder than before In the
real ecstacy Of his great joy. "Oh, good

now was out of the question. Never
mind" said Fred, consolng Archie,
''mamma'll see that your papa gets not
only fish, but lots of other good things,
too, when she hears of this"
Then the three turned their fnces
homeward. At the back yard leading to
the Andrews house Archie separated
from his companions and hurried to his
father. An hour LATER as the little fell
low sat by the sick bed, soothing the
feyered man, who was rapidly faDng, a
tap came at the door, and In answer to

But Mr. and Mrs. Andrews did under
their eyes and hearts running over with
gratitude they expressed their thankful
ness in more ways than one. II was plain
that the sick man and little Archie were
In destitute circumstances, and that very
evening the news of their pitlable condi-
tion was told TO several OF the kind
hearted townspeople, who set to work
with will TO alleviate both suffering
and need. Arcbfe's father was taken to

"But for him the gloom OF grief would

noble little fellow. We can never repay
the debt we owe him. He shall be a
brother to Fred and Tom"

And so IT came to pass that Archie lost
his dear, affectionate father, but he was
not an orphan, for he had a new father
and mother, who took him to their home
and hearts and loved him like they did

persIstency Wins In Advertising.

John Wanamaker says: "If there
is one enterprise on earth that a
gutter should leave severely alone,
it Is advertising. To make a success
OF advertising one must be prepared
to stick to it like a barnacle on a boats
bottom. He should know before he
begins 1t that he must spend money
Somebody must tell him, also, that he
cannot hope to reap results commen-
surate with his expenditure early in
the game. Advertising doesn't jerk
1t pulls, 1t begins very gently at first
but the pull is steady. 1t increases
day by day and year by year until il
exerts an irresistible power"

with great success in the treatment Of
