Redwood Circle on the last Monday in
March had an open meeting, at which
there was a good attendance, as there
always is when the circle has a spcial
function. The feature of the evening was
the presentation of a farce entitled
when Phil was out for q Walk" by
four of the members of the circle, which
proved to be a very clever sketch, in
which the ladies who took part acquitted
themselves in a manner that won for
them much applause. There were also
vocal selections by the Yeomen Quartet.
The participants were Miss Stahl, Miss
Bernheim Miss Kate de Gamma and Mrs.
Schultz, two of the young ladies assum-
ing male characters. In addition TO the
sketch there was dancing for three hours.
The affair was admirably carried out
under the direction of the social COM
mittee, consisting of the members who
appeared in the cast and Mrs. Lou Der
rick and Mrs. A. Harris, the chairman.
An instance showing the fraternity of
the Woodmen of the World was eXem-
plified last week when a member of APP
plewood Camp learned of the death of a
man named Weatherspoon, who fell from
the roof of a house on which he was at
work and was killed. On his person was
found a receipt showing that he was a
member of Pixies Peak Camp, and in
stead of allowing his remains to be
placed in potter's field. as no one claimed
the body b. Y. Morris and A. Apple of
the frst-named camp, named on behalf
of that camp. made arrangements for a
Woodman's funeral and secured a num-
Der of neighbors of Woodcraft to attend
the obsequies of one who although a
stranger to them all, was a brother by
fraternal ties. The uniform team of
Richmond Camp attended in a body and
assisted at the ceremonies at the grave.
The camp of which the deceased was a
member has been communicated with.
On the night of April rs Applewood
Camp will have a ladies night" in its
hall in the Kreling building, when there
will be a programme of progressive
whist and euchre and the serving of ice
cream and refreshments.
When Special Organizer Krum was in
this city many months ago he offered
a valuable badge to the member who
would secure and have initiated the
greatest number of strangers. William
Spier of Golden Gate Camp was the
lucky Neighbor, but the badge was not
forthcoming because Krum was, by rea-
son of misfortune in the death of his
wife and baby daughter and his subse-
quent illness, prevented from carrying
out his promise. The attention of Head
Consul Boak was drawn to the matter
and he has written to Neighbor Spier
announcing that in short time he will
! make good the promise of Neighbor
Krum.
