were cages of singing birds. As Mr.

prise was pleasing. The entire office

Andrew Carnegie's establishment
of a fund for the benefit of heroes
who save life and suffer injury in the
act and for the benefit of their depen
dents if they suffer death is some
thing new in the pensioning way.
Nothing of the kind has ever been
undertaken before. Hundreds of
lives are saved each year by brave
rescuers. Often the rescuer receives
permanent injury.. Occasionally he
is killed leaving his family without
means of support. For such both
public bounty and private philan
thropy have failed to make provision
Carnegie is the first in the field.
His long hunt for noble ways to give
away his wealth has had no better
result than this. A place on the
Carnegie pension roll will be a plkce
of honor and the man who founds
this new philanthrophy is himself
worthy of high honor. It is his
latest gift. Is it too much to say
that it is the best?

A Kansas paper tells of the dan
gers of newspaper borrowing as fol
lows:
A man who was too economieal to
take the home paper sent his little
boy to borrow the copy taken by his
neighbor. In haste the boy ran over
a $4 stand of bees, and in ten minutes
his faee looked like a warty summer
squash. His cries reached his father
who ran to his assistance, and failing
to notice a barbed wire fence ran in
to that, breaking it down, cutting a
handful of flesh from his anatomy
and ruining ass pair of pants. The
cow took advantage of the gap in the
fence and got into the corn field and
killed herself eating green corn.
Hearing the racket, the wife ran,up
set a four gallon churn full of cream
onto some kittens,drowuiug them,
in her hurry she lost a |7 set of teeth.
The baby left alone crawled through
the cream and into the parlor, and
ruined a new S2O carpet. During
the excitment the oldest daughter ran
away with the hired man; the Jdog
broke up eleven setting hens; and
thecals'es got out and chewed the
tails off of four fine shirts.

GRANGE SUPERVISION.
A Stir Farce In Mleblcss Oru>*
Work.
Michigan Patrons are ever awake to
new methods for advancing the Inter
ests and the usefulness of the Order.
Their latest "organlwd force" in the
forward movement Is a department ot
grange supervision and Inspection. The
chairman of the executive committee
of the Michigan state grange, Mr. P.
W. Bedfern, says that "owing to the
rapid increase in membership and the
desirability of keeping in close toUeb
with our Pomona and subordinate
granges In their efforts to assimilate,
educate and instruct this new member
ship iu the duties, obligations, privi
leges and opportunities given by our
Order to its members It was thought
best to present to our state grange a
proposition for the creation of a new
department to be known as the "de
partment of grange supervision and
inspection." This recommendation con
tained provisions for the appointment
of one general and thirteen special
deputies; also for the division of the
state into districts, each with an ap
proximately equal number of granges.
This recommendation received favor
able recognition and waa made op- j
erative by the action of the state 1
grange. In accordance with th« above, j
one general and thirteen special depu-,
ties have been appointed. The state I
has been districted, and these gentle
men have commenced work. It is the j
duty of these deputies to visit and in
spect each and every grange In the
state, each deputy In the district to
which he has been assigned to eo-op
crate, advise, instruct and In every ;
legitimate way strive to build up and i
strengthen the Order."
THE JUVENILE GRANGE- j
Oraranlae* Im 1088, Ma Grawtk Ha*
Uvea Slaw.
The idea of training the boys and
girls of the farm home for future use
fulness by the organization of Juvenile
granges originated in Texas in the
year 1888, when the first young peo
ple's grange was organised. A resolu
tion directing the exeeuUve committee
to prepare a suitable ritual wa» passed
at the session of the national grange
In Sacramento, Cal., in 1888. Jonathan
J. Woodman, P. M., of the national
grange drew up the present ritual,
which was adopted at Atlanta, Ga., In
ISB9. Since that the work had prac
tically died out, to be revived again
during the last few years in New Eng
land and Michigan.
At the recent meeting of the national
grange In Rochester it was voted to
procure the requisite regalia and work
ing tools for conferring the juvenile de
gree.
Any ehild whose parents are mem
bers of the Order is eligible to mem
bership in the Juvenile grange. He
must be eight years of age and under
fourteen, for at the latter age he may
become a member of the subordinate
grange.
In strictly rural communities, where
there Is less to occupy the young In
a social way than In villages, the Ju
venile grange seems to flourish best. It
gives young people a most valuable
mental and social training at an age
when impressions are most easily made
and prepares them for membership in
the subordinate grange when they ar
rive at the proper age. It cultivates
the polite graces. It gives self confi
dence. It Inculcates truth and moral
ity. The granges should not lose tills
grand opportunity for molding the
lives of farmers' boys and girls and in
stilling early the excellent principles
of our beneficent Order.

Life Insurance
A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS
WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE
A POLICY
WITH THE NEW YORK LIFE
BKCAUSK —Incontestable from the
date of issue. Because—absolutely
without restrictions. Because -non
forfeitable front date of issue. Be
cause—-cash loans are provided after
second year, on demand at 5 per cent
interest without fee or other charge.
Because—if death does not occur an
accumulative policy is a highly profi
table investment for the policy-holder
who lives.
Policies now maturing to living
policy-holders prove this. In fact
NEW YORK LIFE policies do not
leak.
Health and Accident Insurance
