The Loyal Order of Moose, founded as it is upon the
true manhood theory, is surely an organization that ap
peals to the person who is interested in the uplift of hu
manity and the betterment of conditions along all lines.
This order is one whose great endeavor is the amalgama
tion of the better element of each community into one
Big Brotherhood whose objects and aims are the advance
ment of social, educational and moral development, and in
view of this fact the Order solicits all men of the Cauca
sian race of good moral character to join its ranks and as
sist in the great work that has now advanced from the
stage of theory to realization. The world admires a man
* who is willing to sacrifice for others, but when the sacri
fice Is a pleasure and brings benefits directly to him It
then becomes a business proposition. The Order has now
passed the million mark in numerical strength and Is mak
ing wonderful strides In the fraternal world. We are pre
paring for the future of our membership by building Vo
cational 8chools, Homes for the Widows and Orphans and
Homes for the Aged. Each member contributes $1.00 per
year for the maintenance of these institutions. Think
what one miliion dollars will do to provide for the help
less. It will sweep away pain from countless sickbeds and
bring hope to the aged and homeless. We accept all men
of the Caucasian race between the ages of 21 and 55 years.
Men over the age of 55 years may Join as non-beneficlal
members. There are Moose Lodges In nearly every Alas
kan city and Valdez will soon be In line with the others.

SOLDIER IN LOVE,
WANTS DISCHARGE
Fears He Will Be Too Far Away
From Girl Ho Moras.
Lafayette, La. —One year more to
serve In the United States army and
probably In the Philippines, Emile
Martin, three years a soldier, Is plead
ing to be released from further service
in order that he may be near Miss
Jeanne Olivier, formerly of this city.
Four years ago Emile Martin tucked
bis diploma from the University of
Paris Into his pocket and came to
America. He was of French aristocra
cy, and the bottom of the family cof
fers had been scraped to provide Emile
with an education.
Emile joined the United States army
when he failed to find work. From
regiment to regiment he was shifted,
until one day he found himself In Tex
as City, one of the thousands of sol
diers drearily waiting for something to
happen in Mexico.
In Texas City he met Miss Olivier,
who is of an old creole family of Lou- (
lslnna. She and her family moved to
Galveston, Tex. Now Emile learns he
is to be sent to the Philippines.
He has been granted leave ot absence
and Is now in Lafayette, the birthplace
of his bride, appealing to Influential
citizens in and about this city to sign
his petition to Congressman Brous
sard, who is asked to use his influence
with the government in releasing him.
Caring For tho Plano.
One of those popular fellows- who
can alt down at a piano and play ac
companiments to songs, even when
the "music'' Is not forthcoming, hap
pened to be In a little village recently
when a concert was almoet stuck
through the pianist disappointing at
the last minute. Our friend, says the
Glasgow Mews, came to the rescue and
got the company out of Its difficulty,
but Inwardly he applied to the Instru
ment adjectives which would shock {
even George Bernard Shaw. After the
performance the caretaker (a "lady")
was covering up for the night, and the
player mentioned to her that the piano
was very much in need of attention,
but she scouted the Idea. “Why,” said
she, “I went over It myself this morn
ing and scrubbed every part of It, keys
and all.”
Her Candleatlne Courtship.
The servant was discussing her lat
est love affair with a mistress, who
was humane enough to be Interested.
"Well,” said the mistress, “sines
you’ve been going out with him for
months, I think It’s quite time be took
you to see his parents."
“I’ve been telling him so, ma’am.
Only last Sunday I said to him, ’Her
bert, I’m not going to be courted In
this candlestlne way any longer.’ ”
It was some time, says the Man
chester Guardian, before the mistress’
puzzled brain understood that “candle
stlne” and “clandestine” were-synony
mous.
Love of the Forest
The only way to love the forest is to
stay in It until you have learned Its
pathless travel, growth and Inhabitants
as you know the fields. You must be
gin at the gate and find your way slow
ly, else you will not hear the great se
cret and see the compelling vision.
There are trees you never before have
seen, flowers and vines the botanists
fall to mention and such music as your
ears cannot hear elsewhere. — Gene
Stratton Porter.

"You seem to be going home In a
very cheerful manner for a man who

Life insurance MJn Gives Sta

-»
New York—Tlie splnsti T lives longer
than the married woman.
The business woman lives longer
than the business man.
The woman who takes ou t an endow
ment Insurance policy li Hres longer
than the woman who ta kes out a
straight life policy.
These facts—and Arthur I lunter, ac
tuary of a leading company, said they
were facts—were gathered lot it year by
experts In the employ of ti'ie forty
three lending companies In tbtfs coun
try.
Mr. Hunter didn’t explain why the
unmarried woman survives the matron
nor why the business woman outlives
the business man, but he revealed why
the woman who takes unto herself an
endowment policy lasts longer than the
woman who has to die to win.
“The endowment woman Just gets
up her spirit and determines to live
until the policy matures,” he said. “The
other woman sighs, ‘Oh, what's the
use?’ and shullles off.”
Mr. nunter said there were more
fatal accidents In this country than
elsewhere l>ecause of the American
“I’ll take a chance” spirit. The Amer
ican, he said, takes all sorts of risks to
save time and Inconvenience. The for
eigner doesn’t do that at home, but
when he comes here he becomes In
fected.
"The mortality rate among engineers
and firemen Is eight times that of men
In other callings,’’ he said, "and among
policemen about 40 per cent higher.
With policemen It Is on the Increase.”
Mr. Hunter said that the business
woman kept herself going by a deter
mination to fight It out. She had some
thing tangible, something to live for,
whereas the business man takes his
work as a matter of course and Is apa
thetic. _

made no pledges or promises to any individual, party or
concern, and if elected will go to Juneau, absolutely unham
pered with ties of any kind; to do that which will advance
the interests of the whole people of Alaska:—not to go there

siderable experience, especially in this Division, and con
tinue such work, throughout the year and the entire term
of office. ,
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely
