To one who pays attention to the
matter there is great interest in the
amazing growth of fraternal insurance.
The popularity of the system was not
neglected by the fraternity of fraud.
That guild neglects nothing that prom
ises profit. A late issue of the Work
man treating the subject in great de-
tail gives the growth of all the leading
associations, some of which are really
phenomenal. The benefits paid aggre-
gate an enormous sum. There are over
100000 people now carrying fraternal
policies. The A. o. U. W., which is
80 years old, has 10000 policies in
force; the Foresters. less than 25 years
old. has about 10000 policies out, with
a reserve fund of S2,500,000. The
Woodmen, seven years old, has 10000
members, and has paid death benefits
to heirs amounting to $1,500,000; the
Maccabees. 16 years old, with 275,000
members, has paid to benefciaries,
100000. The average age of initiates
is close to 30 years. There are some
important features yet undetermined
by the experience of these organiza-
tions; the question Of grading assess
ments according to age and the ques-
tion OF reserve funds, with others that
are less vital.

earth historians will have no difficulty
In locating the cause. They will find
It In the learned gentlemen OF the bar.
No scoundred of either sex can get so
deep in infamy that some lawyer Is not
glad to go deeper still and to attempt
not only to thwart justice, but to JUS
tlfy the infamy of his infamous client,
and to smirch or ruin the reputation OF
all the witnesses for the people. Re-
Gently there was on trial in New York
a man who was known by several alias
He lived unlawfully with the undi-
vorced wife of another man, sharing
her affections with another rival OF
her husband. This man and the wo-
man murdered the other villain; cut
his body up as butcher would cut
UP the carcass of hog and scattered
the pieces in the river and elsewhere.
Both admitted their participation In
the horror. The lawyer who defended
one of the parties arranged to submit
evidence that the victim was alive and
across the Atlantic. That being rem
dered a useless effort by confession Of
one of the murderers, he brought in
witnesses to establish previous good
character for his client. The Witness
es identified the prisoner by many diff
ferent names while telling what COM
mendable member of society he was,
yet he himself admitted that he had
many aliases; that he lived in unlawful
intimacy with the woman and that he
helped in the butchery. When the
client came into the court room his
lawyer greeted him warmly and ef-
fusively as friend Martin"

A REACTfONARY JOKE.

One evening recently a party of
young persons who are connected with
Epworth NJ. e. Church went TO an ice
cream saloon on Market street for re-
freshments. After all had been served
with cream the talk turned on the an
u-trading stamp agitation.
There was, in the crowd, a deyil-may-
care young man popular for his
genial character and reckless dis
position. The others dared him to pay
for the cream and ask for trading
stamps when he did so. He was never
known to take a dare and his past rec
ord held good in this instance.
All the money was placed in his hands
and he walked up TO the counter. The
proprietress counted the coin, found II
to be correct, and put it in the till.
Il would like to have my trading
stamps" said the young man.
Il don't understand YOU" said the
woman.

ice cream don't you?"
Gracious goodness, noi" exclaimed
the woman.
"I'm very sorry" replied the younl
man, but when / came in here it wa,

HEALING VIRTUES OF TIME.
Through the kindness OF William r.
Hone the Wayfarer has been permitted
10 look over copy OF the Richmond
Whig, OF Monday morning, August 81,
1863 which he counts among antique
treasures II Is loaded with war news,
and its editorial utterances breathe Sc
dition in every line. The leader Is en-
titled Blowing" and is as follows:
"The Yankee press has fallen back
into It's old tone Of swagger and bra
vado. It vapours as 1t did In the first
months OF the war. Their armies have
lately taken Vicksburg and Port Hud-
son. which the whole Yankee nation
confidently believed had been taken
twelve months before. They have
gained some foothold at Charleston,
where they had expected the posses
sion OF the city in three months from
the opening OF the war; and they have
caused a Confederate army to with
draw from Pennsylvania, where they
had not the least conception that one
would ever be seen; and they shout
oyer these things as the certain end OF
the war and the final subjugatlon OF
the South. We have our armies still In
the field; a vast extent of territory
where the foot OF the foe has never
trod; the bountiful products OF a rich
harvest just coming into our granaries;
spirits as undaunted as ever, the same
undying hate of the Yankee, the same
unfaltering purpose TO be free; and yet
these vain and silly people, because
they have gained some unaccustomed
advantages, can imagine nothing but
that we are ready to submit. Why, II
Tor what has happened, or ten or
twenty fold as much, we are willing to
yield, we would be not only towards,
but fools, for we would once pass into
q condition infinitely worse than war
With all It's horrors. No, Messleurs
Yankees, II You are not ready your
selves to abandon this war and accord
us independence, make your arrange
ments for the fight to go on as much
longer than IL has, as II has already
longer than you expected. Where you
allowed months for our subjugation we
already have years When these years
have become decades, you will still find
us resisting with the same spirit and
purpose as now. Your foolish boasts
and hopes of to-day are no better
founded than those Of twenty Eight
months ago"

MINE OF TIMBER.
A walnut Forest Buried by Earth
quake In 1911 E1humed I'm
Missouri.

Secretary Watson IF the lumber
mems exchange reported the other
day that within the last two months q
vast forest of walnut had been un-
earthed in southeast Missouri. In 1911
an earthquake in that part OF the state
resulted in the sinking of large tracts
Of land. Since hen says the ST. Louis
obe-Democrat. there have been nm
nual floods in that district, ench year
adding to the accretions. Less than
two months ago two farmers walking
through part of the district noticed
what to their eyes seemed to be the
ends of walnut trees sticking out of the
sunken places and tipped over. Re-
membering that vast amounts of cedar.
wood have been dug up in various
places, the farmers reported their OBJ
servations. and the ground was ex-
plored. 1t was found to be rich in trees
of black walnut from 2s to s6inches in
diameter.
Secretary Wilson states that there
are two parts to walnut tree. The
center consists of solid, black wood,
and the rest of the tree is soft. sappy
growth, which IS OF little use for COM
mercial purposes. In these new trees
just unearthed. the sap has all rotted
off, leaving only the black heart, or
solid portion. of the tree. This is found
TO be a fine specimen of walnut, with
an unusual depth of color.

clouds. The crowd in the street was
getting worried.

After it was all over and the firemen
had returned to their engine houses

.'How do you do it ." asked man.
Easy enough" he answered. Just
hug the floor. There is no smoke next
