From the above list of officers it
will be noticed that this lodge is in
the hands Of the younger element and
while we do not know whether that
is the reason for it's phenomenal sue
cess, we do know that the older heads
say what should be done by electing
young men to the different offices and
then tell them that it is up to them
to defend the honor and continue the
prosperity of this lodge as ,behooves
the strong arm and fertile mind of the
younger set.

After the installation the officers OF
the new lodge proceeded to business
and added new members to their list
at every meeting and although quite a
number dropped out from time to time
the membership has been steadily in
creasing until the roll call at the pre-
sent time numbers about co.
This special increase in member
ship is not to be attributed to any in
dividual but has been brought about
by the diligence of greater majority
of it's members. The lodge has been
a harmonious body from it's inception
to the present day, and although there
were differences among the members
they were always left in the lodge

This lodge has always endeavored
to contribute as much as possible to
the orphans home at New Orleans and
for this purpose an annual Chanukah
ball takes place. The one for this sea-
son, on account of the recent bereave-
ment of our first president, was post
poned to January 4, 1910.
Herzel Lodge has been instrumental
in securing berth for several orphans
at the New Orleans home and feels it
its duty to do even more than it's
share towards it's maintainence.
The lodge also favors the Jewish
Consumptive Relief Society at Den

the above institutions come in for

LONE STAR LODGE.

second lodge organized in the state
of Texas, and the twenty-fourth in
Glorious Grand District No. Z, |. o. b.
b. 1t is the senior lodge in this city,
years existence, and has at various
times been honored with positions in
the Grand Lodge. 1t has always con-
tributed to and assisted at every UNI
dertaking of Jewish character, be it
of a charitable, social or literary ma
ture. In its zenith it has worn the
years has it permitted the younger
lodges to absorb that position. 1t still
has on it's roll three charter members,
showing consecutive membership of
thirty-five years. These veteran and
venerable brothers are, Joe Sigle, aged
80, now resident of California; Isaac
Sigle, age II, now a resident of Cali
fornia; A. S. Fox, age &c. resident of
Palestine, Tex.
Its present membership counts only
twenty, but they are stalwarts in the
B'nai Birth Order. This lodge since
its organization has contributed many
thousands of dollars to the various in
stitutes maintained and fostered by
this grand order, and in return for its
been granted favors through its New
Orleans Home for the Jewish Widow
and Orphans and the Touro Infirmary,

Field Of Honor Commission.

Perhaps wit is stimulated by .
slight arrangement Of the nerves, and
good things said on the field of battle
are sometimes recorded. When "Bul-
ly Egan" fought Curran with pistols
the bulky Egan complained that his
opponent was as thin as q blade Of
grass. LET my size be chalked out
upon your body" said Curran, "and
any hits outside of the line should
not count"
1t was not good form, however, to
make parade Of magnanimity. and
the coxcombical practice Of firing in

have done their work very gravely
and honestly, including a special rule

MUFFS FOR HUNTERS.

Not Uncommon In Germany-Some
With Cartridge Pockets.
A muff Is a recognized article oil
attire for German sportsmen. Not that
every sportsman carries a muff, but
the wearing excites no more surprise
than the wearing of pair OF fur
lined gloves. It is quite as efficacious
as fur lined gloves and the hands are
disengaged in a moment.
In turning over the pages Of Ger
man periodicals devoted to sport and
natural history, says the Queen, one
continually meets with illustrations Of
|. shooting or stalking scenes in which
some Of the members of the shoot are
carrying muffs quite as unooncerned-
ly as the do their field glasses.
Muffs OF this kind are exposed for
sale in the shop windows OF those
Outfitters who devote themselves
specially to supplying the needs OF
sporting men. Perhaps more Is made
Of them a. a particular line in Berlin
than in provinces. but they may be
bought just as readily in Breslau,
Dresden, Munich, Leipsic, Hanover
or Hamburg as in the capital. and the
appearance Of a muff carrying sports
man. even II he were in a hopeless
minority, would excite no remark even
from outsiders In the provinces or in
the neighborhood Of Berlin.
These muffs are carried on q cord
passing around the neck or strapped
around the waist, and some have a
pocket in front which serves to hold
cartridges. Those in general use
have the merit OF cheapness as well
as Of warmth, for the prices OF stock
goods range from S.. to 15s., though
no doubt more expensive muffs are
to be bought. Thus the lowest men
toned price will buy serviceable
mum of green felt, the same material
Of which shooting coats and pelerines
are made, lined with white lambskin.
For an extra couple Of shillings
one can have similar muff with
pocket in front. Ten shillings is the
price of a catskin muff trimmed with
.ails. lined with sheepskin and hav-
ing a pocket for cartridges.
A foxskin muff of similar pattern,
in front with mask, is

THE HORSE WILL SURVIVE.
RE VIII Not Be Extinguished by the
Automobile.


Automobile.
Ihe opening of the horse show re-
minds us that lie horse is not only
lou extinct but an object of great and
afectionate interest to men and wo-
men.
1t is frequently assumed that the
morse is doomed. Some think automo-
Dlies VIII supplant him. Others that
racing restrictions will deal him q
deadly blow. Others that men are
losing interest in the species in the
charm OF more rapid means Of locomo-
ton.
But the chances are that when auto
mobiles are much more generally used,
when racing is again in favor, the
morse will still be occupying the prom
lnent place that he now has in the CEN
sus reports. and that shows will arise
from time to time to do honor to the
finer breeds.
Just as the railroad and the horse.
the street cars and the horse, balloons
ana the horse, have managed. though
all are means Of transportation, to CO.
exist with common increase, so will
the automobile and the horse dwell to-
gether In peace and amity, each in q
peculiar sphere.
AT present, in the fush Of admira-
ton for great invention, the peculiar
virtues OF its supposed rival are OBJ
scured. Later, when people stop to
think about it, they will realize that
no machine can supply the pleasure
that comes from the sense of half.
human companionship with the noble
servitor whose ear pricks back to
catch ones word and whose marvellous
and willing strength Quivers beneath
one like a part of ones own body.
The horse will always have the
greater human" interest. Suppose
the Ride from Client to AK" had
been taken on train, in a street car,
in an automobile, would it have been
half so thrilling? Could any triumphs
of mechanism have afforded the deep
satisfaction felt in the struggle of that
glorious creature toward the goal?
We think not.
Wnen all Is said, 1t Is flesh and
blood that chiefly move men. A horse
race pleases not only because the hors-
es go fast. but because they are intel
ligent animals, In whose struggle to
excel we see something humanity ad-
mirable. Their efforts are those Of
conscious life. and thus kin to our
own. A fine horse is. in a way, q per-
sonality, and it has all the charm Of q
magnificent and mysterious individr
ual.
AS long as the horse continues to
supplement his unquestionable utility
with such additional charms we need
have no fear Of the species. The
horses days will be as long in the land
as they deserve to be. And that II
very long indeed.-Chicago Inter.
