1 It rnust be" taken Into consideration
that our benefits to our members, wid
ows and orphans are also benefits to
the community at large. Members sav
ed from want are not only kept from
being a burden on the public, but are
thereby enabbd to give aid and atip-l-oi
t to relallv and neighbors far and
wide around them. "
It Is the santa with our educational
buicflu. Whatever Improvement our
order may efAt-t In the mentul ability,
the aotlul and moral hararter of the
nipitilx-r JitMt ' far : has' our secret
training and Inatruetlon added to the
character, aortal and moral worth of
tlie fiunlly, and the church and com
munity to which It belong!. -
The treneral mutual dcpttidruce wf
each on ult and all on each, this Inter
lacing of sympathies that Wind around
all heart, the moral Interest that
weves Into one web our entire human
ity, needs more consideration by the
world outside of our orderj Our teach
Inge will bring the world to see, to feel
and to do duties, whkh the fatherhood
of Ood and the brotherhood of man
requires of every mind, heart arfd hand.
looking at the great seal of the Sov
ereign Grand ldge of the United
States, we find the following legend
Inscribed thereon: "We command you
to vlull the elk relieve the distressed,
bui y the dead and educate theorphan."
and In conjunction w ith this great and
grand command we have our motto-
"Friendship, love and truth." Could
there be anything flner. 'niore grand
or more noble to live for? t
Hut it la not so much for us to (re
quire Into what others have done, or.j
what has ben done and accomplished
bv tlie order coflectlvelyj The Vital
oucstlon which tonceirt us moat Is
a hat huve I done what have you done,
to bring about thla great result In the
welfare of our order? Have you or I as
Individuals always carried out the com
mand of our order, relieve the dlatrpss
ed Or visited the elik? Or have your
friendships been of the kind, which was
practiced by the priest and Levite?
The Samaritan who asslati-d the Is
raelite whom he found nounded and
bleeding by the wayside waa a true
tMd Fellow. Meinberhip In a lodge Is
nothing except we practice , what we
preach. Brotherly love la to give mu
tual aid In at'uson of dlatreas and dan
get, to be charitable In feeling, word
nnd dee to all who jteed it, aa well
aa all who deserve It, without regard
to nation, party or sect For our guid
ing faith is not only that all Odd Fel
lows are brethren, but all mankind are
brothers, for our Heavenly Father Is
Hie ereutor and father of all of us.
One blood cementa the 'face, and on
the throne above the earth, supreme
nnd eternal reign forever the father
hood of our God. . ,"
What a grand and glorious mission
there Is before ua. - To help and as
sist, to elevate the chaacler. of man,
to teach him as we are the offsprings
of our common parent, that all men
sro brothers. In the lodge the rich
und the poor, the high and the low. the
learned and unlearned meet as brothers
and tmMedly enRage In the work of
benevolence and charity. , ?. ;
Set a good example to the other
members. Do not continually ,". find
fault with others. Examine yourself
and see if you are all that is required
of a good Odd Fellow, and If hence
forth, each of us will try and live more
according to the teachings of those
great and good men thnj Instituted
this grand order 84 years ago. then the
world will be thnt much brighter and
better and Odd Fellowship will be no
empty name, but a blessing to you and
to me and to the community in which,
we reside, ,
STAfiE FULL OF STARS.
"Diamonds and Hearts" Is , a neat,
spicy comedy drama, built upon an
Interesting plot: the lines are sparkling

When the United Statea protests In

Russia will be prepared to make cer
tain concessions to American trade In
Manchuria, which la really America'
only vital Interest In the matter. This
concession will satisfy the United
States, thus leaving Grat Britain and
Japan alone In their protest.
Russia and the United States have
been traditional friends and while on
their face the Manchurlan develop

everything In sight and then to make
Intelligent concessions. .

STATE VS. FRANK SISCO.
The preliminary hearing or Frank Sis
co .charged with the use of a deadly
weanon uoon Alden Patton colored.
was called in the court of the Justice of
the peace yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock. The defendant is represented
by Hon. Geo. Noland and the state by
Deputy District Attorney Eakin. De
fendant offered to plead guilty to the
simple charge of assault and battery,
but this was opposed by the district at
torney and so the case will likely be
carried Into the circuit court. Should
it prove, however, available to settle the
matter In the Jurisdiction of the court
of the justice of the peace, such settle
ment will be resorted to. Evidence was
heard yesterday until 6:30 and the
court adjourned. The hearing will be
resumed at 3 o'clock next Tuesday af
ternoon. The evidence eo far tends to
show that Patton entered Slaco's place
and asked for a drink. He was ordffred
out.". The colored man protested at
such treatment and a quarrel ensued.
The proprietor held forth to his would
be customer that negroes were not al
lowed upon the premlsea and in the
end emphasised his remarks with a
glass jar. This action on the part of
SIsco brought about his arrest and the
present court proceedings.
