TAKE NOTICE.
NEW ERA LODGE F. AND A. M
ITS OFFICERS AND MEMBERS FEEL A SOURCE OF GREAT PLEAS
URE TO BE IDENTIFIED WITH IT.
In the order of thriving institutions New Era Lodge
has but few lodges that can cope with it in conservatism of
t tis executive branch. Things seem to be done with such
. flashlight promptitude when the necessity impels their
instantaneous dispatch, and avoiding a blunder or a mis
understanding of an order by those who are detailed in
carrying them out, are among the causes of this present
advance into publicity. It can be truthfully asserted that
tranquility in its entirety prevails, which reflects largelv
upon the efficiency of its officers, whose hearts have entered
unstintingly into the work and are ever standing out in
search of that which will add to the up-building of this in
instirution.
Regardless, however, of the many exquisite things
that the portrayal of words can bring to bear, if the proper
channels are not used to show the importance of such an
institution in our midst, success can not reach the hi<fli
mark of distinction that it should. Women with their
true devotion can help indirecty, and are therefore looked
upon as an inestimable acquisition, in the direction of in
fluencing in behalf of the New Era Lodge.
Some men are rather careless, and observe not the
need of preparing for the sick day. They proceed in their .
wild career and seek not to obtain the friendship of those
that will stick closer to them perhaps than mtmyja brother *
in time of sickness. The consequence has been the oft- f
repeated “If I knew.” Such expressions can and should *
be avoided, and as a proof of sound judgment 'every man e
should make preparations so that in case he gets a familv 11
they will not have to be poverty-stricken as has been the *
Case of many families.
Women should insist upon the male portion of their y
family to prepare for sickness and death, not only spirit- s
tylily but financially. Women too should not overlook
the necessity of such an important thing.
Any male member of a family, who can pass the ex
aminations of a medical physician and is of good moral '1
character is eligible to membership in New Era No t]

“Frances,” said the little girl”!
mamma, who was entertaining call
ers in the parlor, “you came down
Stairs so noisily- that von could be
heard all over the house. 'You
know how to doit better than that.
Now go back and come down stairs
like a lady.”
Frances retired, and, after the
lapse of a few minutes, re-entered
the parlor.
•‘Did you hear me come down
stairs this lime, mamma?”
“No, dear, I am glad iou came
down quietly. Now, don’t let me
ever have to tell you again not to
come down noisily, for 1 see that
you can come quietlv if you will.
Now tell these ladies how ton
managed to come down like a lady
the second time, while the first time
you made so much noise.”

“Yes. my dear, you can pick me

“When you pick raisin-, Edith,

’’Why grandma!” exclaimed -
Edith. 4 ’mamma says it is not well
bred for girls to whistle.”
“If you whistle you can teal, my

quicker; but singing is every bit as
