Red Men Take Progressive Step.

At the regular meeting of Mo-
hawk Tribe No. 33, I. o. R.. NJ, held
on Monday, the 18th inst, new by
laws were adopted whereby through a
mall monthly contribution by each
member new fund is created,
called the "Medicine Mans Fund"
This fund will be divided every six
.nonths among those members who
have been unfortunate enough to
need the services Of a doctor. Rec
ords show that the amount SO raised
will be ample to meet all the bills in
an average year, leaving surplus
to handle eIoiden1ics, etc. This new
step, originated by Mowhawk Tribe,
is meeting with general approval by
those prominent in Redmanship in
Louisiana. 1t is expected that many,
if not all the tribes in the state, will
adopt this plan, as it is most at
tractivc feature, and highly bene-
fetal to both the members and the
order itself.
