An orphaned notice reports a new chapter of the Order of Owls forming in Wisconsin with a weekly benefit described as $250 for disability and death. The fragmentary text references a lodge and unspecified leaders or dates.
The Order of Owls is nine years old with over 2,800 nests and 300,000 members across many regions. Its Fellows aim to support brothers, aid the sick and needy, bury the dead, brighten moments, and spread goodwill. Members are urged to join now as the chatter is open.
The notice lists local Nest Order of Owls benefits including a weekly sickness and accident payout of 7 dollars, a 250 dollar death benefit, and no dues increases from assessments. It claims housing for orphans, employment help, social advantages, and business networking. Initial costs and initiation options are described along with contact details for D. W. Wheeler and deputies in Winchester Virginia.
The piece notes that quails and partridges deserted French fields when airplanes appeared, but are now returning to their old haunts. It mentions partridges sending scouts before a forceful return. The text blends reflections on love as a mystery with a poetic aside by William De Morgan about music beyond the reach of our fingers.
