HEROISM

VIZ HO is the most heroic person
w you know?
How many of my young
writer's have met some great soldier?
Do you know some man or woman
who has saved life at great danger
to themselves?
Heroes are all about us. They may
be in factories, where they save some
fellow worker from a terrible death
among the machinery. Perhaps they
are to be found in the mining camps,
where they have brayed death in an
effort to save the lives of others in
some dreadful accident.
Perhaps the nero you most admire
lived many years ago. You may tell
about some historical character Of
great heroism if you will tell the story
in your own words.
Do not send in anything copied from
history or an encyclopedia. All these
articles must be original and I hope
that the topic will call forth many pen
pictures of heroic s that have been
performed in our own state

WILL RAISE WILD BEASTS
TO RENEW GAME SUPPLY

NJ. F. Kendrick of Denver has estab-
lished a reservation on which he will
rear vii beasts for market. He plans
to sell the animals to the states that
are actively engaged in the preserva-
ton of wild game, but he does not in
tend to confine himself to this single
source of demand. He believes that
even were there no states interested in
producing game, the general market
would warrant the founding of this
novel reservation.
1t was at thu suggestion of DR.. Will
liam 7. Hornaday of the New York
Geological society and other noted
naturalists that Mr.. Kendrick estab-
lished the preserve, which will be con-
Quoted by an association known as the
kendrick Pheasantries and Wild Game
association.
For several years the founder of the
new enterprise has maintained a
pheasant exhibit at the city park in
Denver, expanding for that purpose
several thousand dollars of his own
money each year. 1t was his love for
and SURPRISING knowledge of birds that
inspired him to start the wild game
preserve. on which many thousands of
pheasants will be raised each year for
the market.
For the first few years only animals
that inhabit North America will be
raised, but in time lions, tigers and
even elephants will be supplied for the
market At present the farm will be
stocked with deer, elk, antelope, buff
falo, mountain goats, bears, ETC.
The association has bought 1900 acres
of land nine miles south of Denver. A
lake fifty acres in area will supply the
water, as will also the Platte river,
which flows through Skeleton farm,
as a part of the tract purchased is
known.
An electric line now runs nearby, and
it is expected that the reservation will
become as much of a resort for sight
SEEKS as are the famous ostrich farms
near here.
ut requires no more feed to produce
one pound of buffalo or elk than the
same of cattle and sheep" said Mr.
Kendrick while the care and pro-
lection in housing is less, and the
prices are high either on the foot or
the butchers block. Buffalo meat re-
tails at from so cents to 81 a pound;
elk meat brings nearly as much, and
venison sells at about half these prices.
The association will not lack a good
market at good prices. even If all its
product be not taken by geological
parks or game preserves"
Mr. Kendrick has been invited by the
United States government to send to
the national chemist the body of any
bird or animal that has died of a dis
ease with which he is not familiar and
the government agrees to send him.
without cost, full description of the
disease and its cure.
Mr. Kendrick is constantly importing
birds and animals from foreign coun-
tries and placing them on the farm,
and it is not unlikely that he may de-
eide to begin at once the breeding of
African and Asiatic wild beasts for
the market.

go into the camp united OH all propo-
sitions. This is Indicated by the fact
that Mr. Northcott, who led the fight
in opposition to- DIR. Rutledge as the
Illinois candidate for the directorship,
presides at the banquet-caucus, at
which Major Hawes and his candidate
for the dictatorship, Dr. Rutledge, are
the hosts.
d. S. Myers of Pontiac, H., who is
an aspirant for the head bankership
has practically withdrawn from the
race. Illinois was not at any time
conceded this high Office by the lead
ers of the Woodmen society in other
states, and while Mr. Myers received
the Illinois endorsement, it was well
understood at that time that the other
states of the Woodmen jurisdiction
would not support him, but would
give their support to Frank R. Korns
of Des Moines. Mr.. Korns will, it is
believed, be the next head banker of
the society and Mr.. Myers has come
to realize this fact and has practically
quit the race. He is making no fur.
Their efforts and has stated that he
recognizes he is out of it.
Outlook Politically.
The situation as regards the bal
ance of the head officers. politically
speaking, foreshadows their practically
unanimous reelection. Head Consul
A R. Talbot and Head Clerk C. w
Halves have been endorsed for reelec
ton by nearly every state of the
Woodmen jurisdiction, and where they
have not been endorsed, the delegates
are for them. There are no candi
dates in opposition, and while. due to
the fact that Major Hawes took very
active part in promoting the candi
dacy of DIR. Rutledge for director in
Illinois, there was some talk of bring
ing out a candidate against him, this
has gradually petered out. Major
Halves is, indeed, recognized as the
| member of the official family who is
nearer to the affections of the Wood
men masses than any other head OF
ficer
The board of directors will be c. j

Clerks Report.
The head clerks report, to be sub
mitted to the head camp, consists of
over LOO pages, in two volumes, for
the most part consisting of statistical
matter. The report of Head Clerk
Halves at this time is looked forward
to with unusual interest from the fact
that he will include i'm his report a
recital of the society's mortality ex-
perience for its complete history,
starting with the first local camp or.
ganizsd on Jan. 5. 1888. The mortal
ity experience OF the society will con-
stitute the basis for any proposals
that may be made looking TO a change
in the rates of assessment. Major
Halves does not make any recommen-
ootiOhs' III Stdh5V uio ACpoltb otoe-
ing that he does not conceive it to be
his duty to do SO. He simply sub
mits all the facts concerning the so
ciety's history for the consideration
of the delegates.
Sanitarium Project.
Another matter that will probably
be given consideration by the head
camp is the construction and equip
ment of sanitarium for Woodmen
consumptives at Colorado Springs
Colo. The site for this sanitarium has
already been acquired, consisting Of
1000 acres, and over $4,000 has beer
voluntarily contributed by local. camps
and members to the sanitarium fund
1t is expected that the head camp will
make liberal appropriation and will
adopt bylaws governing the sanitar
ium. 1t may be necessary to secure
an amendment to the seciety's charter
in order to enable it to do this, and il
this is the course decided upon, new
charter will perhaps, be adopted OF
passed upon by the. head camp.
The representation in the Peoria
meeting of the head camp will be 81
delegates, including nine head officer:
entitled to. vote. In addition. Their,
viii be 90 head camp officers withou
a vote and 40 members of special ant
standing committees.

is understood that the Illinois dele
gates feel very friendly toward Mr..
Bowman in particular.
The only other elective offices are
head chaplain, head escort, head sen.
try and head Waterman, and these
minor offices are generally distributed
among those states which lose out on
the larger honors.
With regard to changes in the by
laws that may be made at the head
camp session, there are only three OF
any Importance that are recommended
by the law committee. The first is
changing the basis of compensation
for the board of directors. The mem
bers of the board are now paid pei

council so desires.
Another important recommendation
of the law committee is that provid-
ing for the admission of the Dominion
of Canada to- the society's jurisdiction.
The head camp committee on terri
tory will also recommend the admis
sion OF the state of Arkansas and the
territory of New Mexico.
There are many minor changes, but
these are the only three changes OF
any special Importance. marking de
partures in the society's policy.

tiuuously engaged .fand the law COM
mittee recommends that the directors
be placed on agisalary basis, the
amount of the salary to be fixed by
the head camp. !.
New system Proposed.
: The law committee also recommends
several new sections of law providing
for an entire change in the system s..
handling the moneys and funds of the
society. The Ian at present makes
the board of directors. the financial
agents of tie society and does not
permit investments of any kind or
character, all funds being carried in

banking repositories and pass ON all
bonds.
Further. the executive council will
be empowered to invest all moneys
in the benefit fund except such as are
required to discharge current obliga
tons. The character of the invest
ments that may be made is prescribed
