Grange Life Insurance.

Somehow or other the grange has
never made much of a success of life
insurance. AS to grange fire insurance,
there is much to be said in its favor
and Of its noteworthy success. The
national grange has had the subject
before it for several years, but it has
formulated nothing. The Michigan
state grange is now experimenting
with the problem Of working out a
satisfactory scheme of grange life in
surance, but it has not passed the
experimental stage. New Hampshire
has small association which has been
in business a good many years, but no
effort has been made to largely in
crease membership, and yet it has
been rendering good service to those
enrolled upon its books. 1t is purely
mutual. There may be other such life
associations, but they are few. It
may be that the subject will come up
again at the next meeting OF the ma
tional grange, but we imagine it will
go the way Of all past efforts along
this line. The right plan has not yet
appeared, and when it does it may be
worked out with as great success as
the fire insurance, but Of this we have
serious doubts.

Normal Students

According to Miss Nellie Gray,
dean Of women at the Bellingham
Normal, public dancing and the at
tending of public dance halls by
students Of the hill institution is
strictly out of accordance with the
propriety that should accompany
young men and women who are to
become teachers.
Miss Gray says that all the stud
ents of the school should think
more of the dignity of the institu.
ton than to attend public dances.
She lectured to great length to
the perverse ones. individually, tel

were to become the teachers Of the
younger generation. the public
dance hall ought not to enter into
their course of preparatory educa-
ton. - Bellingham Herald.

Naming the Order.

Among the many names or titles
suggested for the Order Of Patrons OF
Husbandry when it was being institut-
ed, these were most to the point: 1.-THE
Independent Order Of Progressive
Farmers" knights Of the Plow,"
Lords Of the Soil," and in place Of
calling 1t a lodge" to name It gar
den," ''arbor'' or simply "home." In
1867 Mr.. Kelley wrote, How would II
do to call the lodges 'grangesY" he
says that he took the name grange
from an order advertised at that time.
In reply came the query as to how
patrons Of Husbandry' would do.
This name was endorsed at meeting
held in the Office Of William Saunders
In Washington on Nov. Is, 1867. It
was also decided at this meeting that
the branches of the order should be
known as oranges instead OF lodges.
William NJ. Ireland presided at this
meeting, and o. 81. Kelley acted a.
secretary.

THE OLD GRAND ARMY MAN

Who is that quiet, white-haired man,
whose every NOV ement shows
That his remaining years are few,
fast drawing to close
Whose modest, manly bearing and
whose calm and steadfast eye
Mark him as one who fol the right
would do and dare and die?
He is an old Grand Army man,
whose record will remain
Forever upon honor's roll without
blot or stain
A man WHO heard and needed IN
dark days his country's call.
And responded with willingness to
sacrifice his all.
twas not in quest of glory that he
marched forth to the field.
But freedoms stirring story to his
mind and heart appealed,
And upon his country's alar ne laid
all he had to give.
Prepared to die. if need be, that the
Government might live.
His story is unfolded by the button
on his breast.
Which marks him as a member OF
the bravest and the best
The noble men who, side by side,
stood fearless. firm and true
For freedom and for equal rights
the red. the white, the blue.
His earthly race is almost run;
the shadows 'round him close;
Soon to his weary frame will come
the last, long. sweet repose;
And in the great hereafter. in high
Heavens exalted plan,
There will be seat of honor for,
the old Grand Army man.

Gov. Lister Praises
Child Rescue Work

The following clipping is from
a recent letter to Rev. L. j. Coving-
ton from Governor Lister, who has
been for many years fully acquaint-
ed with the Home Finding method
of caring for orphan and neglected
children as conducted in Washing
ton.
II believe the system of finding
homes for the children in your care,
rather than bringing them up in an
institution, is along line that will
result in bv far greater benefit to
the children and better fit them to
take their place in the world when
they reach manhood and woman
hood.
The Washington Children's Home
Society will be glad to know of cas-
es of child desertion or criminal
neglect and of g ,od homes desiring
to adopt attractive children.
The movement to popularize the
Children's Thanksgiving, or Home
less Children's Day in the Public
Schools on Wednesday Nov. 26th.
has the approval of all who desire
tn inculcate in the children senti-
ments of sympathy and practical
helpfulness and to care for the UNI
fortunate little ones in our midst.

Unique Field Day.

A rather unusual way to celebrate a
grangers' field day was that employed
at WestWood, Mass. After an Illus
trated lecture on clearing rock cover.
ed fields by dynamite a demonstration
was given in pasture field. The
dynamite was applied to great rock,
which was torn from its mornings and
thrown high in the air. One section,
weighing about thirty pounds, crashed
through the roof of an adjoining cot
tage. but no one was ia the house at
the time.
