Tho grippe if no respecter of persona. Tho editor of tho Now lli'tlilclicro Vin dicator had n tussle with tho disease lust work. The Clrnrnold Spirit fnid: "Do unto tlu newspnpcr reporter ns yon would hnve thom do unto you" Is tho new golden rule which Is pnlnlnp fnvor right along. Tho editor can always, write more cheerfully of tho business interests of a town when his columns nre liberally filled with the advertisements of tho business houses. No editor onn advo cate the doctrine of buying from homo merchants unless tho homo merchants show they are interested in catering to the home trade by advertising in tho columns of tho lix-al newspaper. It is depressing to tho editor to find business men patronizing every advertising fako that comes along, and at the same time the name of those business men nro rarely, if over, seen in tho advertising columns of the hx-al newspaper. Pat ton L'uvrii . Right you are, Hro. Green. There aro entirely too many peoplo in Heynoldsvillo who go out into tho farming section during the summer months and club and stone trees, enter orchards and fields, little caring what tho owner may think or say about it. For tho benefit of such pooplo we pub lish tho law passed by tho last Legis lature about such conduct, so if found guilty they cannot plead ignorance. Tho law states: ''That any person or persons who shall wilfully enter or break down, through or over any field, orchard, garden or yard fence, hot-bod or greenhouse, who shall wrongfully club, stone, cut, break, bark or other wise mutilate or d'image any field crop, nut, fruit or ornamental tree, shrub, bush, plant or vine, trellis, arbor, hot bed, hot or greenhouse, or who shall trample or in any wise injure any grain, corn, rye, wheat or any field crop, fruit or vegetable plants, nuts, berries or any fruit or ornamental trees, vines or shrubs, whether the same be attached to tho soil or not, shall be subject to a penalty not exceeding fifty dollars for each and every offense." It has boon said that every man has a "grand opportunity" once, and only once in a lifetime. If he embraces it ho is on the road to success: if he suf fers it to oseape him, he may run after it till ho is weary and his strength is spent, and even then it will eludo him. To a certain extent this is true, but why do we run after lost opportunities? If wo have lost tho silken scarf, can wo not bo content with the woolen ono? If wo cannot be generals we can at least be soldiers. Every man cannot bo fam ous; but every man can be groat. If wo cannot achieve fame for ourselves, wo can help others on tho road to it. A kindly smile and an encouraging word lit") smoothed many ft rugged hill in tho path to success, and raised many a flag ging spirit and drooping energy. Tf wo 1 cannot attain, success, it will provo somo satisfaction to know we hove attempted to gain it. And ofter nil, wo have sotneting more to live for than tho praise of men. If wo can truly fool at tho end of life's journey that wo have left the world a little better and bright er for our having lived in it, we need not regret that our names are not placed upon the scroll of fame. Tho following law, which was passed by tho last Legislature, is of importance to tho different school boards and may bo now to some of tho readers of The Star: "The boards of school directors and controls of each school district of this Commonwealth, be and they are hereby required at least once during each full school term and prior to the first of January of each year, and with in thirty day after the close of each annual school term, to have taken out, removed and hauled away all excrement and waste matter from every outhouse or water closet connected with or stand in upon the premises of every public school house in the Commonwealth, or have the same properly disinfected, and they are required to have every out house or watercloset scrubbed, washed out and cleaned, the inside walls white washed, and the vaults or receptacles covered with a layer of fresh dirt or slacked lime within ten days of the opening of each annual school term. That the president of each board of school directors or controllers is requir ed each year to certify, in the regular form provided for that purpose, that the requirement of this Act have been fully carried out before the distriot can draw its aunuul appropriation from the btato." Royal Arcanum 5 5 V 4 5 . ft t-4 fin a g "5 ?" Si o a a G &-I 5 The above is a copy of tho many an swers sent out by tho Hoyal Arcanum that should convince tho doubting "Thomases" who quest ion llfo insurance, and place evidence before those who scoff at "dying to win," that till people are not wrapped up in self. Death is a certainty for all even to tho man who Insures property that never burns, or who will not insure himself for his fam ily's benefit, but is willing to speculate In insurance on any member of his family for his own benefit. The wisdom of Bro. Flickinger in providing for his family is shown In the above amount, paid to his widow and orphans just thirty days after his funor al. Tho same amount will bo paid in a fow days to tho widow of A. A. Jackson, who was superintendent of A. V. R'y at this place a few years ago. The Royal Arcanum was organized with nino mombers nineteen yeurs ago; now it has a membership of one hun dred and seventy-ono thousand. It Is fraternal insurance founded on tho lat est and host features and business prin ciples of all beneficiary orders; its main characteristics aro, to unite fraternally all whito men of sound bodily health and good moral standing, be tween tho ago of 21 and 55 years. Its Widow and Orphan Benefit Fund pays to beneficiaries three thousand dollars death of tho member. A rigid medical examination, passing two examiners is required. Tho initiation Is short, business like, with no nonsense, or levity. When a member is disabled by sickness or acci dent, his dues and assessments are paid by tho Council, and It Is not necessary to plead poverty to obtain this benefit. Tho assessments aro light compared with other insurance ago 21 to 22, ono dollar; ago 32 to 3;i, one dollar and fifty cents. Tho assessments aro made 1 1 to to 15 times each year and tho assess ment rato never Increases with your ago, always remaining same as at your entrance to order, averaging "o. pur day. Thero are many older orders, but nono bettor. Among the older founded on similar principles, Is the Count do Wlnton Beneficiary Society, established in year 1138 under reign of Henry II. It has been In existence over 700 years. Next oldest is the Loyal Evanus, organ ized in 1358, and Is over 500 years old. There are nearly 1,000 fraternal and boneclal societies in England over 100 years old. Tho membership in one Is 850,000. Over seven million pooplo in England, one million in France Insured in these societies. By a short sermon Brother Talraage elves his earnest expression of Insur ance on life, using as his text "And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharoah." Genesis xli, 35 verse. "And Pharoah the king sent for Joseph to decipher his midnight dream. And Joseph said, let us take one fifth of the corn crop of the seven years of prosperity, and save it for the years there shall be no crop," The king took counsel and caused the far mers to pay lu one fifth of their income as an assessment. The dark days camo and all would have starved if it had not been for this wise provision for the future. "In the land of Egypt there was bread." This was a divinely or ganized association for the protection of all when the dark days would come. The Bible denounces all who provide not for the future, all who fall to pro vide for their families while they live and What It Is. s a; si ft 5U J V e 5 3 4. p. ft 2 5U Si 50 l- '?1 ft or after their death. Taul says, "A mnn that provldeth not for his own, and especially those of his own house hold Is worso than an infidel." After tho certificate of death has been made out and tho thirty days have passed, tho members of tho order per form tho charitable feature, as tho Apostlo James says, "True religion and undefiled Iteforo God and tho father is to visit the fatherless and the widow in their affliction." Men think only of their spiritual welfare in connection with death, and not of the devastation in their household from their leaving it. It scorns meanly selfish to bo so absorbed in tho Heaven that you are going to, that you forget what Is to becotno of your wife and children after you have gone. After death you movo to a majestic mansion fronting on that beautiful river; the family moves Into a squallid room in some tumble down shanty on a back street. When they are out at the elbows and knees, the thought of your golden crown and shin ing robo in heaven will not keep thom warm. The minister may preach a splendid Bormon over your remains and the choir sing like four angels in the organ loft, but your death will bo a swindle, if you had tho means to provide for the comfort of your household bofore you left It, and wickedly neglected it. Wo liavo Pivlno assurance that tho Lord provides for all, yet I would rathor have Him provide for my family through my own industry and precau tion, than to have Him provide through public charity. Now is the time to mako this provision for tho welfare of your family, not somo day in the future. Look up tho pathway of the future; you will sco it crossed by all manner of accidents, all diseases that human flesh Is heir to, and some of them will find you. There is always n causo to tako you off. You may feel prosperous. How quick the auctioneer mallet can knock tho life out of your estate. You may think you aro worth $5,000, a forced sale makes $2,000. Tho less you leavo, tho less they got. Your helpless children and heartbroken wife will faco a cold world. Tear down the curtuins! rip up tho carpcta! pull down tho pic tures! close up tho organ or piano! and sell all. Mother takes tho children and trudges through the desert of the world. Insurance could have hindered all that. Is there anything more pitiable than a woman delicately raised by kind par ents, on her marriage day given to a man who is to hor the chief joy and aim of hor lifo until the moment of death, then have to go with dollcato children to struggle with the world for bread. And yet there are good women who are not only Indifferent to insurance, but positively hostile to it, as though there was some fatality connected with anything that Implies death to be pos sible In the household. I know of wives who bitterly op08ed their husbands In such matters, and since he has boon taken away, poverty's cruel wolf has been snarling at their doors and no means left to pre von t it.
