MATERNAL BENEFICIAL
ORGANIZATION WORK
The Stupendous Results of
Practical Relief of Distress
Under Mutual Plan
The general public, outside of the knowl
edge of the existence of beneficial organi
zations on every hand, has little Informa
tion as to the magnitude of the operations
of societies for the relief of distressed hu
manity. In fact, the average fraternollst,
considering that only about 10 per cent,
of the members of the average lodge at
tend weekly meetings and keep In touch
with activities, would bo surprised at the
extent of the practical work to which ho
contributes. It has been conceded that
the results of the work of the fraternal
orders far exceeds that of organized
beneficence of the church, charitable and
all other eleemosynary Institutions com
bined. While comparison can be made of
results between the beneflclol and char
itable organizations, the operating prin
ciple, of course, Is different. The fra
ternal beneficiary receives donations from
a fund to which he has regularly con
tributed, and ho not only feels, but the
law of his order decrees, that he Is en
titled to them, not as an act of charity,
but as a matter of right.
It Is estimated tha' In this State the num
ber of members of fraternal societies organ
ised under official management speclslly for
the payment ot sick and death benefits wfll
reach L000.0OO. This does not Include the
fnternaf benefit plans connected with depart
ment stores. Industrial establlahments,churchee.

THE DAILY STORY
The Berry Pickers
There wns gossip In the vlllngo of
Cranston. There had always been gos
sip In CranBton, as thcro Is In every vil
lage In the land, but this wns a special
occasion.
Cranston was pegging along In a quiet,
steady way, and the price of butter and
igga had not varied in 10 years, when a
boom struck It fair between tho eyes. Tho
only factory It had wns a cooper shop,
and tho owner and manager of that went
fishing whenever he felt like It. Sud
denly Mr. James Stlllman arrived. He
was said to be worth half a million dol
lars, and ho bought tho best dwelling In
tho place.
Yes, sir, he bought Doctor Barnes'
dwelling and never tried to beat him
See here, dear, what sort of a game la
thiat he asked.
down a cent. He Just called on the doc
tor nnd eald: "Doctor, I nm the In
ventor of a patent clothes-horse and I
propose to make them by tho million. I
shall build a big factory and shall roovo
my family here."
"Yea?"
"How much for your, dwelling?"
"Three thousand flvo hundred dollars,
sir." ,
"Make out the deed I"
Mr. Stillmun was Just as crisp In dealing
for tho vacant lots, and even the best
business men of the town stopped each
other on the street to gasp: "Did you
ever hear anything llko It!" '
"Never!"
"He Is going to employ 40 hands the
year round and pay cash every Saturday
night."
"It's simply tremendous!"
"Won't ask any one to take store
trade."
"And will It bring a boom?"
"Sure to. Smith & Day are already
marking up the prlco of calico to eight
cents a yard."
The excitement didn't cease there. Tho
erection of the factory began, and the
Stlllman family arrived in Cranston.
Mrs. Stlllman was at onco pronounced
proud and haughty, and her daughter
Grace as one who felt herself entirely
too good to associate with the people of
the town.
Brian, the son, a flne-Iooklng fellow,
was to assist his father In tho office of
tho factory.
The acknowledged belle of the village
was Miss Clara Remsen. She had reached
the age of 19, and was really a handsome
girl. That she was the daughter of a.
carpenter had made no difference with
her social standing. That Is, It didn't
with Brian Stlllman, as he was naturally
democratic; but It did with tho rest of the
family,
"Struck on herself!" was the way Miss
Grace put It.
"I should say sho was a very forward
person," was tho mother's criticism.
"I hope to goodness that Brian won't
make a fool of himself over her," added
the father.
How cojld the two young folks help but
meet In the restricted limits ot the vil
lage? The foundations ot the factory
were hardly completed before they were
Introduced. There was hardly a day that
they didn't meet on the street, and once a
week there was a lawn party or some
other doing that brought them together.
Mr. Stlllman was too busy with his
factory to notice things socially, and
therefore he was quite surprised when his
daughter remarked one evening:
"Papa, how much longer Is this thing
to go on?"
"What do you mean, Grace?"
"Why, the way that Brian is acting,
of course."
"Acting how?"
"Mamma ought to havo given you a
hint long ago. Don't you know that he
is struck on a carpenter's daughter?"
"That Remsen girl?"
"Yes. The artful thing seems to have
him nicely hooked. I felt it my duty to
talk with htm the other day, and he very
promptly replied that It was none of
tny business."
"Is It anything more than an acquaint
anceship?" "He's dead In love with her, and she
is pretending she is with him."
"Then I must talk with him. It's got
to bo broken off at once. We have never
had a mechanic's daughter In the Stlll
man family, and I don't think wo shall
adopt one now,"
There was a talk. All that the father
could bring forward was that Miss Clara
Remsen wag the daughter of a carpenter.
"Yes, she Is," replied Brian, "and I'm
telling you that she has better manners
and a better education than our Grace,"

"You would marry herT"
"I hope to."
"Young man, you are next door to ln
snnltyl" shouted the Indignant father.
"Do you realize, that nono of the family
would recognize her as your wife?"
"Wo should have to bear that as best
wo could."
"Hut you haven't a dollar of your
own."
"I can find work at something."
"Listen to me, boyl It you marry that
girl I am dono with you!"
nrlan walked off without replying, and
tho father chuckled a little as he said
to himself, "Ik guess that will squelch
tho affair right off tho reell"
The "squelching" business seldom
meets with success. A week later tho
young couplo wore not only engaged but
talking seriously ot an early marriage.
In tho village, living In her own little
cottage, was a dear old soul named Aunt
Roxy Beeson. She had known Miss Clara
Remsen for years, and had often given
her motherly advice. The girl went to
her and told her ot the attitude of tho
Stltlmnns nnd asked her advice.
"Bring tho young man here," replied
Aunt Roxy.
That evening Brian was escorted there,
and after an hour's talk tho old lady
said: "If you want to get married the
ceremony can be performed hero. Then
you can board here till lou make other
arrangements. I havo known Clara ever
since she was 9 jears old."
There was a marriage at the cottage
next day. Two days later the bride said
to the groom, "Wo nro to pay Aunt Roxy
2 apiece a week for board."
"Cheap enough."
"How much money have you got?"
"Just JlOj I must be looking for a job
soon."

"Of course you must. You must have a

"Gee-whir, girl, but he won't let me

"What's th plan?"
"Aunt Roxy and I invented It together,

And not another word would she say
till the day came. When he had come
back with the two new 10-quart palls she
had sent him for she said: "Out here on

Brian was silent for two or three min

that he had to stop and lean up against
a tree.
"Do you catch on?" was asked.
"Oh, my stern old dadt"
"Yes, and "
"Oh, my haughty mother."
"Yes, and "
"Oh my Btuok-up sister."
"But it will be a winner."
