The Ladies of the MaCCabeeS of lh3 World Is
The Original WOman'S Order on Adequate Rates

The Ladies OF the Maccabees Of the
World was established in Port Huron,
Mich, in 1892. It has no connection
with any other order of women, be-
ing associated only with the knights
of the Maccabees Of the World, a

whSch order it is coordinate. It's
management is and always has been
wholly by women and it's funds have
always been entirely separate from
any other order.
1t is a voluntary association, incor-
porated under the laws of the state of
Michigan, and is licensed and doing
business in ffty-four states and pro-
vinces of the United States and
Canada, of which eleven absolutely re-
quire the collection Of National Fra
ternal Congress rates by each society
seeking to be admitted to the states
The estates making this requirement
are Iowa, Oklahoma, North Dakota,
Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin,
Maine, Massachusetts, louisiana, Ohio
and Tennessee

World receives the respect and conf
dence of every member and the public

with funds deposited in the CONNER
cial bank, of Port Huron amounting
to nearly four and one-half millions
of dollars. These funds are in the
form Of high grade interest -bearing

with regard TO the order, is a strong

Andrew Nord Of Owego, N. D., un-
derwent a serious operation at a local
hospital when he had all the fingers
Of both hands amputated at the palm
Only a part of his thumb on the right
hand remains.
The amputation is the result OF
frost bites Mr.. Nord received during
the intense cold of January, while
making a long drive. He was at first
taken to Leonard, where physician
dressed his hands and administered
what remedies he could to relieve the
pain, advising him to come to Fargo
where he wound have better care.
From the first 1t was feared that the
hands would have to be amputated
possibly at the wrist, but it was de-
Iayed as long as possible in an effort
to save the extremities.

the promises to pay of the order.
As above stated this reserve now

acres In the state yet remain to be

would contribute in the most beneh-

i'll Should Die Tonight.

If should die tonight,
My friends would look upon my
quiet face
Before they laid it in its resting
place,
And deem that death had left it al
most fair,
And, laying snow white flowers
against my hair.
Would smooth it down with fearful
tenderness,
Poor hands, so empty and so cold
tonight
If should die tonight,
My friends would call to mind, with
loving thought,
Some kindly deed the icy hands had
sped;
The memory of my selfshness and
pride,
My hasty words, would all be put
aside,
And so should be loved and mourn
ed tonight
If l should die tonight,
Even hearts estranged would turn
at once to me,
Recalling other days remorsefully;
The eyes that chill me with varied
glance
Would look upon me as of yore, per-
chance,
And soften, in the old famr' ar way;
For who could war with dumb, I'M
conscious clay?
So, l might rest, forgiven of all to-
night.
o, friends, | pray tonight,
Keep not your kisses for my dead,
cold brow
The way is lonely, let me feel them
now.
Think gently of me; / am travel
worn;
My faltering feet are pierced with
many thorn.
Forgive, o, hearts estranged, for
give, l plead!
When dreamless rest is mine will
not need
The tenderness for which l long to-
night
Selected.
