OF Interest to M. w. A.

Members of the Modern Wood
men are interested in the action of
the Head Camp in the matter of
the readjustment of rates of as
sessment. At the meeting in
Indianapolis last week q plan Of
assessment, known as the Iowa
idea was adopted. The Chicago
Record Herald gives the following
statement Regarding the new rates.
The new plan does not provide
for a reserve fund; it does not
provide for a step rate; it does not
rerate the membership at their pre-
sent age; all Of which were cardinal
features Of the administration plans.
The Iowa idea is the same exactly
as the order is now conducted upon,
with an increase and a variation in
the assessment rates. Assessments
will be called only to meet the re-
quirements of death losses, and no
part of the money is tied up in a
reserve or emergency fund. No
more money is required than under
the old plan, the only difference
being a more equitable arrange
ment of rates at the different ages,
and the higher rates will require
fewer assessments. 1t is an es-
pecially favorable plan for the old
members, as they are rerated at the
age at which they joined instead OF
their present age.

ply.

Lord Halsburx,s Merry Pun.


Behind the professional mask which
they are obliged to wear there is
good deal of fun in the composition OF
legal lumina ies. At a recent reun-
ion of prominent wearers of the wig
and gown conversation rapidly became
reminiscent, and stories flew thick and
fast, reviving the memories of famil-
lar idiosyncrasies Of certain judges
and X. C.'s. The most popular racon-
teur seems to have been well-knOwn
professor of psychology, who had years
ago abandoned briefs, and who is
wont to descend on occasions from his
high intellectual plane.
He tells of how, years ago a crowd
of merrymakers, bent on mischief, en-
countered Lord Halsbury il the cOrr1-
dor of hotel one night, and running
him into a neighDoiing bathroom, re-
fused to let him out until he made
good pun. Scarcely stopping for
breath, the future lord chancellor
shouted from the other side in a tone
of command 20 pun the door!'' and,
needless to say, he was promptly re-
leased.-Exchange

We can recall no rainmaker from
the time of Plutarch, or any rain
doctor of the Indians, or any rain
~sorcerer Of the African tribes, who
has played in harder luck than Pro-
fessor Myers has just encountered in
the Adirondacks.
He arrived few days ago with a
fine collection of balloons and bombs
and got all ready for operations on
Tuesday. On the evening of that day
he announced that he should sent up
some balloons with powerful bombs
with Lighted fuses attached, and that
rain would follow almost Immediately.
AS matter of fact, rain preceded
the explosion. Just as the professor
was about to cut the ropes of his bal
looms a tremendous thunderstorm came
up, advancing with terrific speed and
deluging the region with water. You
e, nature had "got on to the pro-
fessor's little game and forestalled
him. But ina CINE the airs of the pro-
lessor if he had got his balloons up

has known would have been in it,
