The Woodmen Circle may be counted as

any other line OF work, and numbers among
its members many influential people.
The success of the Woodmen Circle has
been attained by its steady growth and
the careful supervision Of its affairs. There
has been no effort made toward spasmodic
or mushroom expansion. Every inch of
new territory. every new grove, is care

QUESTIONS Of the order.
Its members are men and women Of
standing and influence in their community
and every effort is made to keep the order
on high standard, morally as well as
financially.
Those who are contemplating joining an
insurance order-and this should be the
duty of every man and women who has
dependents upon them-should look into
the merits of the Woodmen Circle. Every
inquiry into its standing and methods in
variably results in new memberships. From
a handful Of members at its inception
twelve years ago, the order has grown to
be a powerful and influential factor in
national fraternal affairs, and one with
Which any man or woman may be proud
to Join.
This order is more than anything else a
family order. Any young man or woman
over Is years Of age and of good character,
may become a member, and in many cases
father, mother and three or four children
are loyal members of the Woodmen Circle.
Its standing is absolutely unquestioned
The name Woodmen Circle is as solid and

The order cordially invites inspection and
every request for information will receive

WORLD'SBIC BUTTER MARKET
Omaha Leads the Country in the Out
put of Creameries.
IT'S LOCATION IS JUST RIGHT
Farmers of Nebraska Have Learned
of the Added wealth to BE Had
from the Milking of
Their Cows.

Within the last few years Omaha has
grown to be- the greatest producer Of
creamery butter in the world. This emf
hence was attained at least four years ago
when the output for 1906 was 100000
pounds Of an estimated value Of g, 1000 600
and since then the distance between Omaha
and its nearest competitor has grown by
leaps and bounds, so that Omaha's posi-
ton as the first butter making city in the
world is not challenged nor even ap-
preached by any rival
For the current year the estimated out
put is one-third more than in 1906. or 15.-
100000 pounds, worth something like $780,
co.,
The product of the Omaha creameries
goes round the world. A large percentage
is for foreign export trade and particularly
in Great Britain has a big demand been
created for Omaha butter.
One Of the chief reasons for the growth
Of the butter business here is the develop
ment of the centralized creamery, within
the last ten or eleven years. Centralized
manufacture of butter means a great re-
duction in the cost of producing and mar
keting, making it to the interest Of hun
dreds of small plants located all over the
rural districts to consolidate or to become
feeders of the large plants in the big
cities, with their expensive equipment Of
machinery.
That Omaha is the only city where so
many centralized creameries exist is
ascribed to its specially favored geograph-
zeal location. In past years the east be-
came unable to make the butter 1t needed
for it's own consumption because the large
population there demands all the milk and
cream produced within shipping distance
for immediate use in the natural state.

Further west and ss far as the Missouri
river conditions are similar although to

reached is a territory found able to produce
more cream than is needed for use at
home.

distinctly interesting feature of the life of the
cult is its yearly pilgrimage to its colony in the
San Antonio Valley, about twenty-five miles
from Mount Hamilton. In the midst of large

and for a month of each year the entire sect
is resident there engaged in the practice of

1t is perfectly clear that there is much about
the Vedanta which the observer will never un-
derstand. The society lives retired life, and
while questions are met with sincerity and po-

they are kept carefully in the background, and
to all appearances the religion and practices
of the sect contain nothing of a strange or

Absentminded Dyer.

Charles Lamb had a friend named
George Dyer who was perhaps the
most absentminded man on record
1t was Dyer who, leaving Lambs Is
lington home at broad MONDAY
walked straight into the New river
He was known to take up coal scut-
tie instead of his hat, to walk home
with a footman's cOckaded hat on and
even TO leave one Of his shoes under
the table and get well on his home
ward way before discovering his loss.
He called at a friends one morning,
heard that the family was away In
the country, left his name in the
visitors book, and few hours later
called again, asked for the book again
and was astonished to see his own
freshly written name. Once, when
Proctor breakfasted with him, Dyer
forgot the tea. The omission being
noted, he filed the teapot with ginger.
Proctor left as soon as he could TO get
a better breakfast at a coffee tavern,
and there Dyer strolled In and asked
him how he did, quite unconscious of
having seen him earlier.

Do You Resl,v Love pons7

Perhaps the final test of anybody's
love OF dogs is willingness to permit
them to make a camping ground Of the
bed. There Is no other place in the
world thar suits the dog quite so well.
On the bed he is safe from being STEP
ped upon, he is out of the way of
drafts, he has a commanding position
from which to survey what goes on In
the world, and, above all. the surface
Is soft and yielding to his outstretched
limbs. No mere man can ever be so
comfortable as a dog looks. Some per-
sons object to having a dog on the
bed at night, and it must be admitted
that he lies a little heavily upon ones
limbs, but why be so base as to prefer
comfort to companlonship? To wake
up in the dark night and put your hand
on that warm, soft body, to feel the
beating of that faithful heart-ls not
this better than undisturbed sloth? The
best nights rest | ever had was once
when cocker spaniel puppy, who had

Lawyers Wills.

A remarkable specimen of lawyers
invalid will was that Of Sir Joseph
Jeckyll, master of the rolls, who died
in 1873 and bequeathed his fortune
after his wife's death to pay off the
national debt. "Sir Joseph was good
man and a good lawyer" was Lord
Mansfield's comment, "but his bequest
was a very foolish one. He might as
we'll have attempted to stop the middle
arch Of London bridge with his full
bottomed wig" The testator's patriotic
intentions were therefore treated as
proof Of mental weakness, and his will
was promptly set aside. Among the
many laundering wills that lawyers
have made for their clients, IL not for
themselves, the strangest on record
was that of a Dublin gentleman who
left all his money to the elder son OF
his brother and, if he had no elder
son, to the second.-LondOn Chronicle.

Raindrops.

Drops of rain vary in their size per
haps from a twenty-6fth to quarter
of an inch IN diameter. In parting
from the clouds they precipitate their
descent till the increasing resistance
opposed by the air becomes equal to
their weight, when they continue to
fall with uniform velocity. This We
locity is therefore in a certain ratio
to the diameter of the drops; hence
thunder and other showers in which
the drops are large pour down faster
than a drizziing rain. A drop Of the
twenty-fifth part Of an inch in falling
through the air would, when 1t had
arrived at its uniform velocity, ac-
quire q celebrity of only eleven and a
half feet per second, while one of a
quarter Of an inch would have We
locity Of thirty-three and half feet.
