A New Lodge to Organize

The Shepherds of Bethlehem, a secret
society for both men and women, is
striving to gain a foothold on Five Mile
Beach. Over fifty people have applied
for membership on an open charter
and a meeting to organize will be held
at the Lyndhurst, Cedar avenue, this
Wednesday night. An attempt to
organize a local chapter of this order
was made sometime ago, but it failed
through the lack of members. The
present effort seems to be meeting with
much enthusiasm.

or the interest at which his ''kicks''
were primarily aimed.
EARNED 81. so A WEEK
But to return to his boyhood. At
the age of -13 Mr.. Martindale became
Alntilitg honrHa0ods- store
intendent of the largest mercantile es-
Enlistment of the kind in Canada aud
president of the Drygoods Salesmen's
Association, of Toronto, thus demon
strating that he was a young man
with the elements of growth in him.
Removing to Boston, Mass, he was
employed in a drygoods store for a
time, but abandoned the business at
the age of 81 because it furnished too
limited a sphere for his superintendent
activities. He first attempted to es-
tablish a velocipede rink in Pittsburg,
with a partner, who finally backed
out; and then, with his money ex-
hausted, he journeyed to Oil City on a
pass furnished by a friend to begin his
real business career.
Arriving in that bustling little city
without money or friends, he sought
employmentof its leading oil producer,
who equipped him with a pick, shovel
and axe and set him to clearing and
excavating a road along a mountain
side between two wells.
AT this he worked diligently in the
daytime for two weeks, devoting his
evening leisure to the study of the sta
tionary engine that pumped one of the
wells. When the road was finished,
he was an engineer, and was employed
to pump a well at a salary of So a day.
BY boarding himself, carrying his gro
ceries and other necessaries two miles
over the mountains from Oil City, he
saved a good part of his wages, and
within a year bought a half interest in
a dingy little grocery store in Oil City.
FIRST SUCCESS AS A GROCER
This proved to be the business for
which nature had fashioned him.
First the little grocery was transform
ed and made attractive. Then he
bought his partner out. Soon a new
and larger store was rented, and then
a still larger one was required, and
Thomas Martindale was the leading
grocer of Oil City. In four years he
had outclassed all his competitors. At
this time, getting a good offer for his
business and stock, he sold out and
came to Philadelphia, and founded the
business at Tenth and Market streets,
which for thirty years has been one of
the leading grocery establishments of
this oily.
In 1881 he was chairman of the Mer-
chandise Committee of the Irish relief
movement. He was the first to de-
liver a wagonload of goods for the re-
lief of the Jamestown sufferers, and Sc
cured the half dozen signatures which
induced Mayor Stuart to call the meet
ing that resulted in sending two steam
er loads of provisions to the Russian
famine victims. Always sympathetic
with those in distress, the prompt
hand extended by Thomas Martindale
to the children of misfortune invariably
has something in it for the relief of
their needs.

First=Class Wire Fence.

Here is the way that we made
an excellent wire fence, fencing
seventy acres at a cost OF about
500. We could have done the
Job a little cheaper, but believe
that the few extra dollars invest
ed in the fence in the long run
will pay.
For corner posts use four by
skies seven feet long. Dig corner
post holes two and a half feet
square and two and a half feet
deep. Anchor at bottom with
two by skies two and a half feet
long spiked to post. Wedge in
rock tight and fill up two thirds
with dirt. Beat in we'll. Then
put in more rock with dirt at
top. A half mile OF wire can be
stretched with such posts. The
best wire stretcher that we ever
tried was a wagon. Drive your
wagon about ten feet in front Of
main post, having hind wheel in
line with your posts. Brace the
wagon we'll, putting about a 500
pound weight in the box. Wrap
wire once about hub and fasten
in spoke OF wheel. Turn till you
think the wire is tight enough,
if it doesn't break. Ii you stretch
over uneven ground, it is well to
have a man test it to ascertain
the tension. Three men stretch
ed seven balls in a half day, nail.
ing wire to posts. We used &C.
dar posts, placing them thirty
feet apart. Three wires consti-
tuted the fence.

The monarch today
OF all he surveys
Is the farmer OF Ward county land;
But as he looks back
At his little sod shack,
1t reminds him of how he began
A turning the sod
But now he thanks God
For the courage He gave him to stay;
For his hardships are past
He has riches at last,
Laid up for cold, rainy day.
AS he looks DER his fields
And notes the big yields,
That the harvest is sure to demand;
There's a smile on his face
That you cannot erase.
When he speaks of his old homestead land.
For he remembers the time
He hadn't dime,
When he came to Dakota to stay;
Now his hardships are past
He has riches at last,
Laid up for cold, rainy day
Not fear nor frown.
AS diRnified as any king;
Runs his auto alone
His house has the phone
That calls with dingle-a.ding;
1t rings forth the charms
OF life on the farm,
And drives all SORROWS away;
For his hardships are past
He has riches at last
