Maj. c. W. Halves, the genial head
clerk of the Modern Woodmen Of
America, will remain in Rock Island
a week for recuperation. The major.
who has been feeling indisposed for
some time, yesterday laid his case
before his physician, DIR. G. G. Craig,
who informed him that he simply
had Woodmen on the brain, and pre-
scribed rest as the only essential
remedy. The major accordingly de-
termined to heed the doctors advice,
and he will think no more of his
office for week, although he cannot
resist the temptation to greet a
Woodman whenever he sees one,
whether he knows him or not, and to
talk once in a while inadvertently
about what great and prosperous
order it is.
