tablished and maintained as guaran-
tee to its members in after years, but
the Supreme Head Camp of Modern
woodmen refused to adopt one. There
fore Messrs Root and Faulkenburg
resigned their offices in the head camp
and with three others, organized the
Woodmen of the World on the above
date, making three jurisdictions, to-
wit: Sovereign Jurisdiction, con-
sisting of all the United States except
the nine northwestern states: the
Pacific Jurisdiction, consisting of the
states of California. Colorado, Mon

themselves into the new order.
The principal object of the order
is two fold; First. to provide life
insurance at cost, and second, frater-
nal and social features On June LIST,
the Pacific Jurisdiction will have very
nearly half million dollars in its
reserve, or, as we call 1t, an equaliza-
tion fund, which fund has been cres-

years, and is invested in government

passed upon by the best legal talent
obtainable. The Pacific Jurisdiction
being incorporated, the bonds are made
payable to the order, they having
to be signed by five men before they
can be transferred The insurance

care being taken to secure good risks,

GETTING AWAY FROM HOME
The Spirit Of Restlessness and the
Desire For Change.

The Spirit of Restlessness and the
Desire For Change.
Judging by a good deal of the con-
versation of the present day. there are
a large number of people who have a
Dositive horror Of home. This curious
reyulsion of feeling is taken by many
persons as u sign of social deterlora-
ton. For our own part we find 1t dl1h-
cult to take it quite seriously or to see
in it ANYTHING more than a passing
whim.
Nobody nowadays likes monotony.
Change is what people desire-not per
haps any great change, but lots OF
small change; not necessarily for the
better. but for its own sake. Now,
there is a great sameness about one s
own four walls. be they ever so hand
some. We all feel at times an overpoW-
erine desire to look at something else.
We cannot change the patterns or the
pictures on them every day, and neither
they nor the home furniture ever seems
to alter in expression.
Again, there is terrible sameness
about ones own cook. Experience ena-
bles US to foretell the taste of every
thing at home, from the soup to the sa-
yory if we are rich and from the NUT
ton to the cheese if we are poor;
whereas if we dine at restaurant
everything 8 down to the salt is differ
ent, and the restaurant is refurnished
daily with new faces.
Then, again, the music and stir going
on around one avoid the necessity for
much conversation, and conversation
in the home circle is sometimes diff
cult and sometimes dull. 1t does not do
always just to say what one thinks, it
is such bad practice for dining out,
and, this being the case, it is not easy
sometimes to think what to say.
Nowadays we get, socially speaking,
tired Of our friends and even OF our ac-
ouaintances. We want them to pass
continually before US like street pro-
cession. Instead Of that they rather
resemble a stage crowd and keep COM
ing up again. There is limit to those
we know, a limit even to those we
should like or should be likely to know
even by sight. and at restaurant this
latter limit is disregarded. The barrier
of good manners which forbids that
those who are acquainted with one an
other should speak is sufficient to pro-
tect our station or our dignity, but it
is not a very high fence. and it is one
which it is amusing to look over.-Lon-
don Spectator.

The Boy and the Farm.

How often we hear parents discour-
age the boys who wish to stay on the
farm. They refer to farm work as
,lrudgery and that which tends to make
them slaves to work rather than inde-
pendent men. The biggest boys are
educated for professional men and in
many instances excel, but the vast ma
jority of these, with good practical
education such as can be gained in our
schools Of agriculture, would become
wealthy. progressive farmers, with fine
farms and beautiful homes, if they had
been encouraged and advised to stay
by the old farm and make it q success.
