The WOOdmen of the
World.

Is we'll known to be one of the BEST fraernal orders in
our country especially when it to the matter OF
cheap and PERFECTLY safe insurance.
This Order by sound and business management has
accumulated surplus amounting to the enor
nous sum of So 900, 10000.
We honestly believe that every of family should take
advantage of the protection offered cheapy by this
GREAT ORDER.
And like this Order believe that is the duty OF
every man. during times of prosperity to lay aside por-
ton his earnings reserve, that IN case OF SICK
ness or other misfortune he will be prepared to meet the
additional expense that at these times.
The FAULKNER COUNTY BANK, since established,
has followed this wise plan of putting aside part OF its
earnings and today is MANY thousand dollars stronger
than when it began business in 1903
We appreciate the liberal patronage that has been given
us and in return we have endeavored to give
toners prompt and satisfactory service.

HOW FLOWERS HOLD HONEY.
Pits Into Which Bee Must Delve In
In the Lily.

Before "the bee sucks" as Ariel put
1t, he must find the wonderful places
where the flowers hide away their
honey, to be found like the priests
hiding holes in ancient mansions by
the right sort of visitor, and to keep
away all intruders.
In the recesses of the crown imper-
ial lily at the centre can be seen six
large honey pits, one on every floral
leaf, and each is brimmlng over with
big drop of honey and glistening
like a tear drop. Shake the flower and
1t "weeps" as the big drops fall from
1t, soon to be replaced by other tears
In the rapidly secreting flower. The
simple folks call the flower Jobs
tear"
The snowdrop is literally flowing
with honey, for in swollen veins trav-
ersing its fragile whiteness are rivers
of nectar. The petals of the colum-
bine are ingeniously and elaborately
designed with view to providing
good places of hiding for the honey.
Each Is circular, hollow shaped, like a
horn. In each the honey is secreted in
round knob at what would be the
mouthpiece end of the horn, and the
five are arranged in ring side by side
with the honey knobs aloft Though
the honey store is obvious from with
out, yet the insects who would sip 1t
must creep into the flower and pene-
trate with long nose up the curving
horn to the knob.
Sometimes the petals are all Joined
together into tube and the sweet
nectar simply exudes from the inner
side of the wall and collects at the
bottom. This is the case in the dead
nettle, the tube of which forms so
toothsome morsel that some children
call 1t "suckles." The honeysuckle is
similarly planned and its sweetness is
so striking as to have furnished its
name.
The monkshood has quaint hectares.
If the hood be drawn back there sud-
denly springs into sight two objects on
long stalks which are sometimes like
French horn, sometimes like cowl,
or, looked at sideways, not unlike
pair of doves. Their presence within
the hood has provided the nicknames
adam and Eve" and "Noah's ark"
Thus the honey bags are carefully
tucked away and protected.-Chicago

But the leaye-talSing had to come.
The rector, in his long ulster and

bishop fingered to bid good-by to Dor

Before say goodbye" the bishop
was saying, Il want to ask you a great

"Yes," whispered Doris. The tears
were running down her cheeks. She
tried to say thank you Then she
just said, holding out her hand in
good-5y:

The bishop was kissing the baby
