,bbe ii~ii tjcxic~iouM. A Great Brotherhood, The oldest, the largest and most ii fluerntial benfiieiary society in the' United States. with a strictly na tional jurisdiction, is the Knights (if ;lonor. It was first organized it .Jone, 1873, by a band of seventeen young men, in the city of Louisville, Ky. Jt is ostensibly a fraternity. ,but has a beneficiary feature which provides that the sum of $2C00 shall be paid to the family of every ben eficiary member who dieds in good standing in the order. Its object as set forth by the Su preme Lodge and as practiced by the members, are: to unite fraternally -acceptable men of every profession, business or occupation; to give all moral and material aid in its power to members of the order; to eucour age each other in business; to assist each other in obtaining employment; to promote benevolence aadcharity; to providecfor the relief of sick and distressed -members; to ameliorate the condition of humanity in every possible manner. Tlre.growth of this order has been phenominal. In thirteen years it has extended from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the lakes to the gulf, and -has established its subordinate lodges in every State and Territory in the-Union. Grand Lodges have been organized in thirty-five cof the States and in the District of Columbia. There are 2800 -subordinate lodges under the juris diction of the respective .Grand Lodges, which embrace a member .ship of over 125,000. The benefit fund is divided from' .assessments levied upon the whole 'membership, and at such times as it *is required to pay death benefits. "The benefit fund is so managed that 'every dollar paid by the 'members ,goes out to~beatjciaries without the loss of a singlecgent for its disburse maent. So cardTully and economi .eally are the affairs of this order managed, that in the thirteen and a half years of its existanee, $20,000. "4100 have been collected and-paid to widows and orphans at an -expense .of less than two per cent. Aside from this disbursement-of 420,000,000 to beneficiaries, vast -sums have been paid by the local lodges in the way of relief to sick members and their families. The fraternal influences of the order practiced through the lodges have -worked a great benefit to individu als and communities. Unfortunate -ones have found a helping hand ex tended to them; others upon whom the band of affliction has been laid, .Jave been comforted and have felt itho sweet influences of brotherly love. So modestly and unostenta tiously has this been done that the world atlarge has known but little .of it; and so carefully has the man tle of love and charity been spread, that the misfortunes of many have been screened from the gase of a curious world, and relief came to the distressed like manna to the Israelites in the wilderness, falling .ps gently as the dew of Hlerman. This order is one of the grandest schemes of charity and benevolence ever conceived. It invites every .man who desires to aid in a good -cause and at the same time benefit himself and his own family, at a cost so small that no one is too poor to, engage in it, to join this great order .,f progress and benevolence. A atumber of our prominent citizens *are members of this fraternity, and will be pleased to give information to any desiring a better knowledge -of tlte plans, purposes and advan tages of the Ktiights of Honor. A woman called at one of our grocery stores the other day and asked for a quart of vinegar. It was measured off and put into her gallon jug. She then asked for an )other quart, to be put into the qaone jug. "And why not ask for half a gallon, ana be done with it?" said the grocer. "Ochi bless your little bit of a soul," answered she, "it's for two persons." Several young ladies have been arrested in Kansas City for wearing the Mother Hubbard dress on the streets, and fined $6.50 each. The authorities charge that wearing such dresses on the street is in violation of the State law against appearing in public in indecent attire, and are determined to put a stop to it.
