Secret socilies aro criticised by the outside world on tho oaths they take. What is iguorntitly called an oath Is simply an obligation or promise exacted previously to divulging the specialities of the order. Tho Ancient Hebrews when they tool; an oath, placed the baud boueath the thigh of tlio person to whom thry swore. They would take hold of thuhotns of the altar, and touch the savrillclal tire. Then they would extend the riuht h.iHd to heavon and swear by earth and sea and stars. Tho story is told of a dis pute between two Scotchmen, named Campbell and McClsin, upon the antiquity of their families. McClain would not nlUw that tho Campbells had any right to rank with the Mo dulus iu antiquity, and farther insist ed that they were iu existancn as a clan frlnec the beginninng of the world. Campbell however had a little more Hibllcal knowleite Hihu his nntaKonlst and asked him if the clan of MeClains were boioro the flood. "What, flood?" asked McOlalu.

Sometimrs a cloud freighted with water lower over the mountain crst aad empties itself upon the mount-tin; then this lit tle stream becomes a mighty torrent. Ono day a mother with her child came down Into the valley. Lvaving her chihl to play she crossed over the stream and on up tho mountain side, A storm came up, and she hurried hack to look niter her child. She stood by tho water's edge and cried: "Ruby" "OKI Haby!" Hut no response. A shepherd watching his flock heard her plaintive cry and went to her relief. He led her down the stream and then pointing with his staff into the water lie said to tier: "oiop more, c steped and found a solid lock, l'oi ing again he said: "Step thoro " S stepped and found another rock, l'oi lie said to wr: "oiop more." one l'olat- She stopped and found anntuerrocK. mint ing again with his staff ho said: "Step there.

There was a man imeic in Pennsylvania who said we will form an order tint will help these men to protect their families against want, when their forms are cold mid silent in death.
