Excerpt from Lewisiana or the Lewis Letter, Vol. 1 of 13

An Adapted Thought.

The Lewis Family.

A View Point Among Ourselves.

For three months past an increasing corps of representatives throughout the country has advertised Lewisiana to all Lewises. Within as many weeks we have made a direct proposition to the officials of Lewis Loyal Legion. In short, it is our aim that the entire Lewis family shall be made aware of the quality and purposes of this journal.

Now - just Among Ourselves - all this is very important. Who is to take care of the Lewis interests, i.e., Our Family matters, if we do not, you and we? If educational and missionary societies suffer from indifference here, they pass. Lewises must take up their heritage seriously and energetically. To lack esprit de corps is to sacrifice family life and prosperity.

There is fitness in quoting one of our "own folks," in this relation. He says that without the inter-family paper of the Lewis, "we do not know what is a doing: do not keep the ran of events. Our souls have no chance to catch the patriotic tire from the deeds of our sires. Not realizing that we and our little family circles are part of the great army of Lewises who believe that it is their privilege and duty to encourage all of the ancient blood and name of Lewis to improve their opportunities and conditions, we are liable to grow petty, complaining fussy, critical, quarrelsome, childish. Our work as Lewises is of little value perhaps naught."

The need thus created is the reason for publishing this paper.

That is why, just Among Ourselves, it should be widely read.

If you take, you like it. Doubtless you are not alone in this.

And you have friends? Let us send them the paper.

One Way How.

Have you any idea of the number of Lewises and their kin? Twelve volumes of Lewisiana have only stirred the soil of the Lewis tract. Why not a Lewis endless chain. The endless chain has been used to collect large sums of money for worthy charities. It has also been made the vehicle of swindlers, who have received by such agencies large amounts.

Let each subscriber send during July with the renewal of subscription the names of two persons, not now readers, pledged to send within two months their subscriptions and the names of two others who pledge themselves in the same way. If both of your pledges are fulfilled we will extend your subscription one year, if one only, six months.

Yours, Lewisiana.

Hall of Heraldry, Supreme Castle of Loyal Lewis Legion.

West Kingston, R. I., U. S. A.,

April Fourth, 1902.

Decree no. XIX.

Whereas, The Centennial of the acquisition of territory known as the Louisiana Purchase is to be duly celebrated in St. Louis, Mo., in 1904; and

Whereas, Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition fame, contributed his full share of energy, effort and honor as a history maker; and,

Whereas, It is desired to do honor to his character, life and services; and to encourage all mankind in general and all Lewises in particular, to do and dare in the cause of human progress,

Be it decreed by the Supreme Castle of the order of Loyal Lewis Legion:
