Often the deepest sorrows have brought the choicest blessings— the sickness of Hope proved the conva- lescence of Joy. Many a ghost has but a bank of fog. disappointment to increase our brayery- Failure is the servant and success the child of effort. Look up.

Mr..S. M. Schultz, Financial Re- porter of Insurance Lodge, No. 1169, Knights of Honor, tells us that the Supreme Secretary of the order has is- sued forthe month of May four assess- ments to meet the prompt payment of death lusses to date. The past winter showed am excessive death rate all over the country. These four assessments cover 199 deaths,and averaging the loss- es at $2,000 will make $398,000 paid | out in one month. To meet this the| 1 members, estimated at 120,000, will pay $4 each, maxing $480.000, which shows that the order is collecting during the month about $82,000 more than is needed to pay the losses. Many of the members think such extra payment of assessments is unnecessary. $25.00 REWARD Will be paid to the finder if package of money lost Saturday eyening is re- turned tothis office, and no questions asked. themat other places.
