Committee OF the Catholic Order of
Foresters Now Rearranging
Rates For Assessment.
OLD MEMBERS TO Be CARED FOR
Younger Members Will be Asked to- Pay
Increased Assessments In Order to Pro-
vide for Those Now Grown Old.


Order of Forresters at the meeting
held in Detroit, two years ago to re-
adjust and classify the risks, is hold
ing its final meetings in Milwaukee,
liustheL coffee of John T.. Kelly the
nEof the committee. today and
tomorrow It is expected the report.
wild then be adopted as it is to- be
presented to the International conven-
ton of the order, which will meet in
Dubuque, Ia, Aug. II.
Will Cause Sensation.
The report of the committee has
been drafted by Mr.. Kelley and is
long and exhaustive document, which
will probably cause genuine sensa-
ton in the order which has mem
bership of 1O9. 1000 IN the United States,
of whom $4,000 are in Wisconsin. The
committee will recommend large
number of radical changes in the
methods of making assessments to
meet the death benefits, the main
object being to increase the rates on
the young men who join the order, SO
that reserve fund will be created,
and thus do away with the necessity of
increasing them when the member be-
comes old and less able to earn the
money with which to keep up his in
surance.
Recommend Retaliation.
The report will recommend the re-
valuation of all the certificates OF
membership outstanding at the pres
ent time with q view of discovering
whether the holders are indebted to
the order or not. Life tables have
been carefully examined, and the
value of insurance has been figured
out on that basis.
Under the plan that the Catholic
Order of Forresters are working the
rate is 1862 year, and this is lncreas-
ed, slowly at first and then with great
rapidity when member begins to get
old and his earning capacity is de-
creased. The plan proposed by the
committee is to increase the rate of
assessment during the younger days of
the member, and give him credit in
his old age for the amount that he has
paid in over and above what his in
surance is intrinsically worth.
State Convention In Oshkosh.
The Wisconsin convention of the
Catholic Order of Forresters will hold
a three days session in Oshkosh, be-
ginning June 9, when the report of
the committee will come up for discus
sion and the election of twenty dele
gates to the international body, to
which the state is entitled, will prob
ably depend in large measure on the
position which the convention, or at
least majority of the members, take
upon the report.
The Catholic Order of Forresters is
growing rapidly in this state, and the
number of delegates has increased
from sixteen to twenty since the last
international convention was held in
Detroit two years ago. Thomas j.
Callen of Milwaukee stands at the
head of the state organization as chief
ranger, Gustave Keller Of Appleton is
the secretary and J. c. Norton of
Watertown is the treasurer.

The Needles Eye"

Bill Arp writes in the Atlanta Con-
stitution: A lady writes to me and
asks what is really meant by the
needles eye" in the parable Of the
rich man. l remember reading
where that 1t was the smallest gate
that gave entrance to the walled city OF
Jerusalem and that a loaded camel had
to be stripped of it's burden and bend
its knees to squeeze through. And so a
rich man had to give up his riches and
come to his knees before he could en-
ter heaven. But do not find that in
any commentary. 1t "a just one Of
the thouand proverbs that adorned the
moral teachings of the Jews and the
eastern nations. The writings CT Job
and Solomon and C~onfucius and Ma
homet abound in them. In the Koran
is found this proverb: "The impious
man will find the gates of heaven shut
and he can no more enter than a camel
can pass through a needles eye." There
is another in the Koran which saws:
you will never see a palm tree Of gold
nor an elephant pass through aneedle's
eye" These proverbs simply meant
that 1t vas impossible. Strange to say.
the world has long since quit making
proverbs. All proverbs have come
down to us, even such as "A rolling
stone gathers no moss" Poor Rich.

COLOR SENSE OF SAVAGES.
Peoples Among Whom 1t Is Little De-
veloped.

In his lecture on The Sense OF
Primitive Man." delivered at the Royal
| Institution. DR.. w. Fl. r. Rivers spoke
about primitive color vision. He de-
voted his Introductory remarks to the
Importance of the color sense in the
| study of the relation between language
and ideas, and referred to the deticien-
cy in color sense which DR.. Gladstone
| and, later, Geiger, held to exist among
the ancients, and to the theory Of an
evolution Of color sense in man within
historical times. He then gave some
account Of the vocabularies employed
for colors by several savage races.
The simplest he found was among the
Australian natives in the Seven Rivers
district, a number of whom had only
three terms; natives from the Fitzroy
River showed much the same charac-
teristics. The next simplest was that
Of Kiwai, on the Fly River, where
there was no name for blue apart from
black. The last two he mentioned
were those of Murray Island and Ma
bung, which were more extensive. In
these four vocabularies four stages
might be seen in the evolution Of color
language exactly as deduced by Gel
ger, red being the most definite, and
the colors at the other end Of the
| spectrum the least SO. 1t was note
worthy, too, that the order Of these
peoples in respect to culture was the
same as in regard to development OF
words for colors. The Eskimo, DR..
Rivers observed, differed radically
from the language Of the tropical peo-
| plies he had examined IN possessing an
extremely well-developed color vo-
cabulary. He next discussed the cpl
thets used for color in Homer, and
concluded that the features of his color
language were essentially of the same
nature as those found among primi-
tive peoples of the present day. Speak
ing of the objective examination OF
color sense in the Torres Straits, he
said the people showed no confusion
between red and green. The investiga-
ton of their color names, he thought,
showed that to them blue must be a
duller and darker color than it was
to us, and, indeed, the tintometer had
afforded evidence of 2 distinct quanti-
tative deficiency in their perception OF
blue, though the results were far from
proving blindness to blue. DR.. Riv-
ers then discussed some of the objec-
tons that had been urged against the
theory Of a historical evolution Of col
or sense, coming to the conclusion
that it was not to be lightly put aside,
though it could not be regarded as
fully demonstrated. Finally he con-
sidered some of the factors that deter
mined the special characteristics OF
primitive color language, giving some
instances from widely separated parts
of the world, in which names of colors
seemed to be derived from the same
natural objects.-London Times.

COULDN'T "SHOW OFF" THEN.
Student Not Allowed Chance to Prove
Himself a Hero.

This story Is told about Joe" Whit
tlesey of the New Haven Golf club,
a strenuous chap even now and once
famous as ar oarsman and tennis
player. Mr.. Whittlesey discovered a
boy t~respassing on the links the other
morning, despite the posted notices,
and told him to get off. The boy re-
fused. In order to thoroughly fright.
en- the lad and make him a living
warning to other boys, Whittlesey
seized him by the collar and rolled
him over on the grass. Just then a
Yale student with a girl on his arm
happened along. Seeing a grown man
apparently pummeling a child, the
student called:
Here, you! What are you doing?
You let that boy alone"
"You go way from here, young
mani" returned Joe. This Is none
OF your business, Sir; none Of your
business! Just because you've got
a girl along, do you think I'm going
to allow you to become a hero?"-

WAS TOO FAR BACK.
Ono Occasion When Or. Halls Mem
DRY Was at Fault.


DR.. John Hall, the late pastor of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church,
was very proud Of his memory for
names and faces. Strangers wondered
at his readiness in calling by name the
numerous members Of the Sunday
School connected with the church. But
one Of the elders of his church tells Of
one occasion when the doctor showed
no evidence of his remarkable gift.
while DR.. Hall was taking his Gus
tomary walk down Fifth avenue one
morning" he said, "a young man
stopped him, saying:
Good morning, DR.. Hall, I'm very
glad to see you. Don't you remember
me?'
"The doctor, after scrutinizing him
for some seconds, replied: L must con-
fess that l have no recollection of ever
having seen you. Are you sure that
you know me?'
"'Positive,' answered the youth,
and it's strange you don't recall me,

ALEssoN FOR PHYSICIANS.
Spirit Of Harshness and Loneliness
No Longer Tolerated.

There Is one good result of AN
oyercrowded profession" and OF the
sharp competition that exists among
doctors in the rivalry for popular ia
vor. This is the disappearance OF the
old-time spirit Of harshness and lord
illness, which sometimes degenerated
into positive brutality. These charac-
teristics were the natural products OF
an original b~oorishness, increased by
success and a comparative monopoly
of practice. 1t takes a gentlemanly
mind not to be spoiled by the attitude
of subservience on the part Of pa
tents, and the habit of ordering by
the physician in charge.
In every large community there are
still left specimens Of medical DR..
Johnsons, who from a ruder age have
carried down a cross and commanding
acerbity of manner that is now out of
place and time. In n Of our large
American cities there is an example
known far and wide. His loss Of pa
tients does not teach him any lesson.

lishness. He seems to take a special
