Both societies are at present helping to support our State Christian Endeavor missionary, Miss Hatch, who is working in the Laos. While the Society of Christian En deavor has social, literary and other features it has been as intended by its founder, "first, last and always a relig ious society." ladies' acjx. y. 31. c.

SARAH KEBEKAH LODGE WO. 10, the oldest woman's secret society of North Platte, was organized Jan. 28th, 1876, by L W. LaMunyon. Upon elec tion of officers James M. Bsyy now coun ty judge, had the honor of being elected to Ml the chair of Noble Grand the first term. The membership numbered at this time about thirty-three. There be ing neither membership fees or dues wherewith to create a fund, the ques tion arose as to ways and means for pro curing, lodge-regalia, organ, etc, which was finally secured by Mrs. Chas. Hall solictine faads from the Odd Fellows and others who felt charitably inclined. In Deoeatber, 1883, the lodge elected iJMra. Cnaa. HalL to the chair of N. G therst lady elected to nil m t 'iai issimaase .BaehaBibor she f) s better aid in the war k. The regular meetiagp are held the first Fiiday in each month at '4:15' p. ;m. in the-Association rooms. An iniation fee of twenty-five cents is charged each member and yearly dues of fifty cents are paid semi-annually. The Auxiliary has given a number of suppers, socials and entertainments, also several receptions to the members of the Y. M. C. A. The funds raised in this manner were devoted to improving the rooms such as painting, papering, cleaning, buying pictures, papers, books,etc. They also gave material aid in helping to organ ize a Boys' Auxiliary to the Associa tion, r If the Christian women of North Platte understood the good that this department of the Y. M. C. .A. work might accomplish for our young men, we are sure more of them would give it their hearty co-operotion. North Platte has a reputation for the number of lodges and societies for wo men as well as men, yet surely we have no lodge in the city that should be placed before our Ladies' Auxiliary to the Y. M. C. A. SIGNET CHAPTER, JfO. 55, O. E.

Signet Chapter can ... as. iuJ thafoffice in Sarah Bebekah Lodge No. 10. Soon after this time the members, having lost some interest in the work, caused by some leaving town, others not attending meetings and other reas ons not known to the writer, this society went down, or in other words, went to sleep until Oct. 12th, 1889, when it awoke and was reorganized with a mem bership of eleven, as follows: Sisters Hall, Hoagland, Stevens and Walsh, Brothers Hoagland, Hall, Walsh, Adams, Smith, Warner and Klein. Since that time it has continued to grow and shows on our roll to day a membership of one hundred. In giving a history of this lodge it is not necessary to speak of what our aims and objects are, but'will close with the hope that this lodge may go on with the good work so well begun, not faltering by the way side, but continuing to sow the good seed, that we, or others follow ing in our footsteps, may reap a bounti ful harvest. May our labor in the cause of F., L. and T. be crowned with success is the wish of a member. LADIES OF THE MACCABEES. The Ladies of the Madcabees is the only exclusive women's beneficiary or der in the world. Its growth has been remarkable. Only four years old, yet it has a membership of 42.053, showing that some woman has begun to take her rightful place in the busy scenes of lfie. The objects of the order are protec tion in the hour of need, fraternity, benevolence, education and reform.

Now there is an endowment membership of sixty- two, and twenty social. It holds a ban ner from the supreme hive in the state and we hope to keep it. There has been one death in our hive the beneficiaries receiving $1,000, the deceased having paid in only $11.40. Seeing how kind and faithful our mem bers were, especially on Bick committee, one lady was heard to say that she was more a Maccabee than ever; and so we hope that it will win the name of the "finest and best" in our land. Drill in the flooe work is now in pro- i gress ana we nope to matte our nive pleasant and attractive. The attendance has been exception ally good. Any lady of good character may become a member. Our meetings are held on the second and fourth Sat urdays at 2:30 p. m. We extend a cor dial invitation to the ladies of North Platte to join us and help in carrying on the good work we have begun. DEGREE OF POCOHONTAS, I. O. B. M. The Improved Order of Red Men is the oldest American fraternal and social organization now in existence in the United States. It is founded on the customs and traditions of the aborigines of our country, preserving the character and peculiarities of the Indian race. The degree of Pocohontas was organ ized about ten years ago and has steadi ly increased in growth and usefulness. The name of the degree was taken from the noted character in Indian history. Pbcoaontos, who so nobly - proved her coststaat friendship and hospitality to the pale faces. Aatoag the objects of this degree are iste atbral advancement of the members aad'friecds, the promotion of social en joyaaent, bury the dead and educate the orphan; all of which work tends to the elevation of humanity and is naturally a part of woman's work. Our local council, Winona Council No. 5, has been organized two years, and has about fifty members in good stand ing. Our council fire is kindled in our tepee on the second and fourth sleep of each moon, when we pass a pleasant and social time listening to long and short talks of chiefs and members. Any pale face lady, of good character, whose age has reached eighteen great suns, can become a member by adop tion. THE DEGBEE OF HOKOK. A lodge known as the Degree of Honor A. O. U.

The Weman's Belief Corps; auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, is purely a soldier organization. Its ob jects are: 1st. To specially aid and assist the Grand Army ot the Republic and to perpetuate the memory of their heroic dead. 2d. To assist such union veterans as need our help and protection, and to ex tend needful aid to their widows and orphans; to find them homes and em ployment and assure them sympathy and friends; to cherish and emulate the deeds of our army nurses, add of ali the loyal women who rendered loving aerviee to the our country in the hour of peril. 3d. To maintain true allegianoe to the United States of America; to in culcate lessons of patriotism and love of country among our children and in the communities in which we live; and en courage the spread of universal liberty and equal rights to all. Those who are eligible to member ship in this grand organization are wo men of good moral character and cor rect deportment, who have not given aid and comfort to the enemies of the Union, who would perpetuate the prin ciples to which this association stands pledged, and who have attained the age of sixteen years. It is impressed upon the mind of anyone who wishes to join that this order exists more for the bene fit of others than for the relief of its own members. The local Stephen A. Douglas Corps No. 110 was organized May 8, 1890, by Mrs. Lucy Griswold of iLexington. It was officered by local efficient and bright women. Never before since its organ ization haa it, in four months time, ac complished so much word, nor has there been as much interest manifested nor was it in as prosperous a condition as it has been since January 5, of this year. The work of relief is managed prin cipally by the relief committee, which is selected with the utmost care by the Corps president It has done a grand, noble work, in relieving the needy and distressed this winter, spending more money than ever in the same length of time. (From the time of the orgahiza- iT- 41. - S 4 $800.) It no eajBiaation that work with the Beane it haa- to command and the size of the order than the Relief Corps. Its membership is composed of able, broad-minded, gen erous and loyal women. Women who know neither friend nor foe in the hour of distress, but who are always ready to extend a helping hand to the needy ones, smoothing the pillow of the sick, and comforting the dying and distressed, their works are shose of love, and their deeds of kindness can only be num bered by the applications for help and the opportunities for honoring the mem ory of their heroic dead. While only a few, comparatively .of our army nurses are in the ranks of the living, yet they are honored by the mem bers of this most worthy and patriotic band of women, as they should be who rendered loving service to their country in the trying times of the sixties. The loyal women of this order who had no loved ones in the Rebellion exert them selves to inculcate lessons of patriotism aue love of country in the minds of their children as well as those whose noblewomen who gave up their hus bands and sons to their country in its hour ot peril. It is through the exertions and influ ence of the G. A. R. that this unselfish army of the Relief Corps are enabled to teach allegiance to the United States and encourage universal liberty and equal rights to all men. The work of the Department (State) is much similar in organization to the local organizations. .Its membership numbers 3,887. The treasury contains $1,50951. Through the relief fund of the Etate a great many cases are aided and comforted that it would be impossi ble for a local Corps to take charge of. The national membership is 131,081 The amount of money expended for re lief for 1894, was $170,58436. In accumu lating and expending this large sum of money, the noble hearted W.R. C. women show to the world that the sacrifices ot the soldiers is held' in grateful remem brance in their hearts, and they are proud to be called the Auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic. Indies' of the g. a. k.

U., of North Platte, was reorganized May 1894, with seven active members; the ' present membership is thirty-five.' A similar society was organ ized at Herehey Nov. 1894. with a mem bership of fifteen; present membership fifty-four. Oar outlook is hopeful and much interest is taken in the meetings. The hope of the church and the hope of the world is with the young. If the young people of this generation could be saved frorn intemperance- and profanity and vice and immorality, and could be imbued with faith in the Savior, and en listed in the work of saving others, in a few years this nation would not only be called a christian nation -from sentiment or as a complimeufbut it would be such in deed and in truth. If the young who are rapidly coming upon the stage of ac tion could be schooled to become faith ful workers for Christ, only a few years would be needed-until this world that now "iieth in wickedness" could be laid as a sparkling jewel at the feet of the world's Redeemer. An Englishman once said: "You can make something out of a Scotchman if you catch him young." Knowing' that the minds and destinies of youth are easily turned this way and that by gentle influences, we should endeavor to, give them the right trend in early life. Save the boy or girl and you save' the man or woman. D. OF K. The Daughters of the King is a so ciety composed of girls and women who are communicants of the Episcopal church. -The object of this society is the spreading Christ's Kingdom among young women. It has two rules the: rule of service and the rule of daily prayer. Itsmbteo is "For His Sake.?1 The chapter here is known as the Bishop Anson PV Graves Chapter.
