anything -be it a supper or what you
will -it makes a, success of it. It was
thus with the annual supper held at
the Clarendon Hotel on Friday night,
when seventy 0.0. re sat down to
the bounteous spread prepared in the
excellent manner for which the House
is noted. After many good things had
been disposed of and the inner • man
replenished the toad list began, with
Chief Ranger Grigg in theichair. After

'Societies • originated • among • labor-
ing men who did not lay aside from
their earnings for a rainy day. To -day
there are over eighty different Socie-
ties: Canadian Porestry was organize
ed in 1874 as an adjunct of an Order in
thellnited States called the Indepen-
dent Foresters and up to 1879 there
were only eight -hundred inembers jn
Canada. The union was not satiefac-
ory as the Order was doing business in
the8outhern States where the death ritte
was greater than in the North. Courts
with 400 members seceded in 1879 and
never since then have we had an extra,
aesessment. Whenour first death
took place we had only $260 in
the treasury, but a •sestet Socie-
• ty in Illinois came to our assistance. Ati
the present time we have the largest
reserve for our membership of any Soc.
WI in America and the average age is
still lower than any ether. The inter-
est on our reserve fund pays one-tiftb.
our death claims. A Society to be vig-
orous must add fifteen per dent. to its
• membership each year. Our Order ii
the 'working men's Order and they are
the heitithiest class. We must not
look at die insurance side alone, but to
the fraternal also. We are a selfish
people if left alone, bleb are expended
by brotherhood,
• Dr. Shaw respondedto the toast of
die Army and Navy. The supremacy
of theNievy, said he, is unquestioued ;
it is our Army which is now being teat-
' ed. used the term ou n &
broad same as it is as much our fight
as Britten** The present war its a gig-
antic one rind never before has Britain
sent so many eoldiers abroad. When 1
is considered that the seat of hostili

some idea of the enormous difficulties

but that the Canadians who will be en
