esting to note the deep interest TAX
en- by old line insurance companies
in the assessment rates of the Mod
ern Woodmen of America. These
old line insurance sharks are con-
tinually telling the world that
"Woodman insurance is continually
increasing and the time will soon
come when this fraternal institu-
ton will be compelled to charge
such high rates that its members,
or at least many of them, will be
forced out of the Order" All Wood
men expect a rise in assessments,
but they are aware of the fact that
a rise of 300 per cent in rates still
leaves them ahead of old time COM
panies. The difference between old
time and Modern Woodman insur-
ance is that old time companies
robes its victims while living with
a gambling feature, while the Wood
men only charges what the insur-
ance is worth. The Woodmen don't
propose to build brown stone fronts,

Saml. w. Crigler, northeast of

office Monday a few minutes, and
renewed his subscription. He is a
descendant OF Louis or Ludwig
Fisher who emigrated to America
from Germany in or between the
years of 1928 80 to Casper county,
Crigierville. Va. 1t is thought by
many of his descendants and law
yers that he invested in long term
government bonds in Holland and
that the bonds are now worth sixty
five millions of dollars. A lawyer
by the name of Smith is at work on
the case, and does not require the
heirs to put up any money. He
agrees to secure the money for one

The Rev. K Keena Ryan, Pastor
of the Garfield Boulevard Pre5by-
Il ian Church, O, Chicago, is q
strong advocate Of life insurance.
In the course Of a recent sermon
he said:
Il am no insurance agent. but |
do not hesitate to say that modern
insurance comes nearer to giving
something for nothing, and making
this something sure and certain,
than any known institution of our
time.
Indeed. so sure, cheap and GER
tain has it become that no man,
however poor, can riehteously plead
any excuse who does not take adj
vantage of the inducements offered
him to lay up a little money to
bury him when dead, and provide
support for his afflicted and strick-
en- loved ones when he is called
away.
1T is nothing short of an unpard-
enable crime when a father and
husband, with a wife and children
depending upon him for support,
neglects his sacred obligations, uses
up each week his wages, and in a
moment of time is stricken by
death; compels his friends to bury
him; leaves his family destitute and
objects of pity and charity.
Though lived a thousand years,
| never could forget the picture of
just such a scene as this / saw in
Mount Hope Cemetery a few days
ago-the one that inspired this
sermon. l was called upon to
preach the funeral sermon of a man
who was a clerk in one of the great
railroad offices down town. He had
a beautiful little home here in the
city, a lovely wife and child. He
lived a life of simple. happy ease.
One day last week he was sitting
at his desk writing and whistline
when suddenly his whistljng ceased
his writing stopped, his head drop.
ped forward on his book, and his
heart. ever light and gay, ceasd to
throb.
When his accounts were footed
up, he had nothing. The boys in
the office had to defray the funeral
expenses, and they we're just as
poor as he. One dollar week in
vested in life insurance would have
avoided all of this.
The saddest sight think ever
witnessed in my life was his frail
delicate little wife, standing beside
the open grave, with the cold wind
whistling through the barren trees
sobbing as if her heart would break
with not enough money in hel
pocketbook to buy her a lunch and
pay her way back to her cherries

Girls OF Years AgO.

Wits OK IedTS ago.
What has become Of the old-rash-
iOpcd girl?
The lireside charm Of American
pridel
With voice sweet and mild as the
crooks gentle purl,
A manner serene as a June even
tide.
1t was she who kindled the courage
and force
That made mortals sturdy in dam
gerous days,
Who struggled, unbaffied, while
shaping a course
Which flourished and yielded in
beautiful ways.
Her humble devotion and faithful
desire,
With lofty ambition, enthusing
TO all,
Made home a loved-spot that shone
bright as the fire
On cold winter nights and illum-
ined the wall
She gave good advice and with mod
est reserve,
No frivolous notion had room in
her mind;
The noble endeavor no folly could
swerve,
She ruled with a love that up
lifted mankind.
In homespun, apparel she sparkled
and shone-
With beauty and patience Of
meekuess and trust,
A frank resignation was blended
with tone
Which marks chaste intent of the
loyal and just.
She rose to occasions that needed
her time,
And strove to make lighter harsh
burdens of strife;
Undaunted by hardship she gov
erned sublime,
And gave to the world the best
fruitage of life.
The old-fashioned girl, alas. where
is she now?
With tender compassion and sim
pie content?
Her smile of affection and Ereverent
Hath sweetened the spirit wher-
ever she went.
Her love paved the way through
grim peril and gloom,
That sunshine of virtue may en-
ter and cheer
The haven of home and forever il
lume
With glory the hearthstone which
memory holds dear.
She taught at her knee the great
men of the past,
And moulded with kindness the
valor and pride
Of American zeal which kindled and
cast
A cheerful reflection immortal
and wide.

NORTH SIDE NEWS
May Call sSGreat White Way"
Meeting.
Business Men Deciding Time
and Place.
WILL WORK UP MORE INTEREST
David Bowie Heartily FavOrS
Improvement.
Large Crowds Attend Garfield
Park Opening.

| A definite step toward the installa-
ton of a great white way on the
North side in all probability will be
taken in the near future. A meeting
will likely be called this week to dis
cuss the matter The time and place
| has not been set but it is practically
| determined to call the meeting for the
purpose. Fred Voiland, president OF
| the Civic club, J. r. Spetter, John
Knolls and J. c. Snediker are among
| those who are calling the meeting and
who have been greatly in favor of the
proposition. j. R. Spetter and Mr..
Knolls own property on North Kansas
avenue. Ed Arnold, who also owns
property on the North Kansas avenue
says that he will not stand in the way
of the improvement of the other pro-
perty owners will sign for it.
Will Call Meeting.
1t is suggested that the meeting be
called some afternoon for several rea-
sons. Among other things it seems
that more can attend them. In this
connection it has been suggested that
the women attend the meeting so as to
get interested and boost for the idea
That They May ''See the Light"
The main thing, it is thought, is to
get property owners to "see the light
(both figuratively and literally and
to sign a petition agreeing to pay for
the extra expense.
However, both some of the North
Kansas avenue property owners and
others feel sure that the increase in the
valuation of property by the proposed
Improvement, would in a short time
make up for the extra tax. AS has
been said many times the favorable
impression created by a brilliantly
lighted street at night would be the
means of inducing more people to To-
cate on the North side. This would
apply both to local people, especially
those passing to and from Garfield
park, now an amusement place, and
even those passing through the North
side on the Rock Island trains.
OF course many have said about the
white way Nobody will ever do moth |
ing for North Topeka" but it will be
remembered that that was also said
regarding making an amusement place
out of Garfield park. And those that
sit on the seats of the scornful,' who |
came to scott now, remain to admire |
the beautiful park and attractive
now installed. AS to the !
of the great white way |
the number who have reason for the |
faith that is within them" are increas-
ing daily.
Within the next few days it is very |
likely that any amount of effort will
be made to create more interest and
overcome all obstacles.
Among others who are greatly inter- |
ested is David Bowie of the Mid-Con-
tinental mills.
