Bohemian, May 81.

Bozeman is the hub of fraternal organ
izations in the state of Montana. Every
secret society that has an existence IN
any other part of the state will be found
firmly in~trenched in Bazeman. Init lat
est addition to the already numerous or
s%anizations in the capital of Gallatin
county is the Fraterual Union of Amer
lea recently organized here. The Wood
men awe various branches here and the
|Masons, Odd Fellows and knights OF
Pythias each have strong lodges. MI
merous halls in every quarter OF the
business district are filled nightly with
the members busy in dealing misery to
noyitiates of the various orders.
Omaha daily bee., 1900-02-04

After a number of men congregated at
some resort have been attacked by the craze
1t is amusing to see them starting out to
find the wood. They go forth clad in knick-
erbockers and armed with great jackknives,
OF the season. More priced than any other
are the woods of the laurel and rhododen-
drons. Both are eXquisitely white and re-
ceive as high and fine a polish as satin.
Straight pieces of considerable length are
chosen to be cut. and il is desirable that
they should terminate in a fork. The forkei
part is left undisturbed in its natural state
for the handle, while the other end is whit
tied down into the blade of the cutter.
Various are the ways for achieving this APP
parently simple end and every man finds
contentment in the conviction that his own
knife and tools are the best. The final
polishing is universally done with sandpaper
and a broken bit of glass.
Knitting needles are also popular among
the things that are being whitfield. They
are finished at the top with a round ball,
which has carved upon it the initials of the
one who is to be their possessor. The great
est achievement in whiting, however, is an
endless chain that was recently done by
quite an old gentleman who had gone to the
south for rest. Within each link rested
a little revolving ball. 1t was truly a chef
d'oeuvre.
Scientifically it is claimed that there is
something about the mechanical calm Of
whiting which is most restful to an over
taxed mind.
