An exchange aptly says among its
Fraternal Society Notes, that in
every lodge we find what are known
as the old standbys, and these broth
ers are the rock-rib of their orders.
They can always be counted on to
be on hand, do their duty and work
for the best interests Of the order.
y The success of the order de-
ponds on them" And what would
any fraternal order be withoutthem?
They work without hope of reward,
looking for compensation in the
good they can do for their fellows
and, incidentally only, for them
selves, in the blessing only of an APP
proving conscience of working for
the elevation of mankind, the relief OF
distress wherever found.

Mr.. Pierce was very devoted mem

caring for him in his last days was
associated in the business with him
under the firm name of Pierce & Dow.
The firm sold out to W. Fl. Cass In
June of 1903. He then retired from
active business. Mr.. Pierce was one
of the good old-fashioned citizens
whom everybody loved and who
seemed to love everybody. He was

Dynamiter Rosseau's story abou t
the destruction of the battleship
Maine in Havana harbor in Febru-
airy, 1898, does not meet with un-
hesitating belief. For instance the
Hartford Courant says:
He says he made the mine and a
careless Cuban applied it to the
wrong ship. The Cuban thereupon
kindly committed suicide, and, there
fore, there is nobody to contradict
this fairy tale. 1t is surprising that
there have not been more claimants
for the credit of destroying the Maine,
but apparently better late than
never. Mr.. Rosseau makes up in
vigor for what he lacks in prompt
ness. 1t will always be disputed
whether the ship was destroyed from
without or within. We have found
many naval men who are sure it was
from within. Mr.. Rosseau adds moth
ing to the information on the subject,
but he makes himself part of it so
far as he can and he certainly proves
an adept at hat talk"
