a fraternal beneficiary society and
the policy in addition to a death

there are none who can afford to be
without a policy. Both ladies and
gentlemen are admitted and this
this lodge gives promise of being
the strongest in Monroe City in a
short time as it has so many things
to recommend it to the people. If

The cost is low, that the money will
be paid to the beneficiary in case
of death or accident is certain. Other

Modern Woodmen.

VlOuClu WOOuhiChs
Last Friday was a big day in
Monroe City for the Modern Wood
men of America. Two candidates
were received by adoption and one
on transfer card The Camp here
has a membership of more than
one hundred and seventy members
each carrying from $500 to $4,000
life insurance.
Several benefits have been paid
in this city since the organization
of the Camp here, Two have been
paid in the last FIVE months. Such
institutions are Of inestimable value.
Many women and children are
left with a competency who were it
not for such organizations would be
left to the cold charity of the world.
Woodcraft is truly for the relief of
the widows and orphans in their
dark hours of trouble. Many are
able to carry insurance in orders
such as the Modern Woodmen of
America the Court of Honor and
the Mystic Workers of the World
who could not pay the premium on
even a very small policy in an old
line company.
Monroe City Camp No. 2236 is in
a most flOurishing condition proving
that it has been under wise direc-
ton for the past year and the Off
GERS for 1912 are enthusiastic Wood
men fully capable of directing the
craft in the forest with such good
results that Jan. 1918 will find the
Camp in even a more prosperous
condition.
The officers installed for 1912 are
as follows:
R L. Armstrong, V. C.
z. F. Leake, W. A.
Orville Wilson, Banker.
A. Grimm, Clerk.
Bert Written, Escort.
Earl Baldwin. Waterman.
Mat lesson, Sentry.
Drs j. N. Southern and J. r. Hull
Physicians. -
Layson Tuley, Manager for 3
years.
C. L. Drescher, P. V. c., was the
installing Consul assisted by F. F.
MCGEE as head escort.
After the installation came the
Fourth degree. Yes there was plen-
ty and to spare. Oysters, coffee,
pickles, celery yes and many other
good things to eat and all so well
prepared that the committee was
highly complimented on all sides
Of course on such an occasion cigars
were in order and the Woodmen
being loyal to Monroe City indus,
tries used only those Made in Mon,
roe as all smokers who are inter
ested in making Monroe City {
better and more prosperous city
should do The occasion is one that
will long be remembered as bright
oasis in the life of those who were
in attendance.

His Last Yarn.

etc, LETT behind a manuscript, a
story Of the sea, perhaps tha climax
of his literary career Mr.. Vail,
it will be remembered, was taken
while visiting" some stores at Ex-
cello one night, tied up securely
and brought to Macon While here
he put in his time reading news
papers and writing stories. In the
course of time the circuit court
came on and to save the judge the
bother of trying him, Mr.. Vail"
pleaded guilty to burglary, was SEN
fenced to three years in the peniten-
tiary and issued Card of Thanks"
to all those who had been good to
him. He was especially grateful to
the sheriff for feeding him so
well, and for keeping his room" so
nice and warm. Nevertheless he
saw an opportunity to move, and
as he was an industrious sort, he
went away to resume his calling
which had been interrupted by his
two months repose in Mr.. Halls
palatial establishment. It's a pity
that Mr." Wallis departure was so
sudden that he didn't have time to
complete the sea story so we'll be-
gun, but we are not without hope
that efforts now being made may
result in his return to us, in which
event we may learn just what hap
pened when the goat and the sailor
met. AS far as written the tale is
this:
The three-master Whales Ear
cleared the port of Auckland, Aus
tralia, in May, 1905, for San Fran
cisco. She was laden with wool
The crew consisted of the captain,
mate, five sailors, the captains son,
a mischief-loving lad of 16; a ship
carpenter and Chinese cook.
Every man on board had some
sort of pet. There were monkeys,
parrots, dogs and a long-whiskered
billy goat. The last named animal
belonged to the mate, and was call
ed 'Oma Paul. in honor of the form
er president of the South African
colonies. 'Onia Paul was the live
Hest proposition on board, but the
monkeys were not far behind. They
belonged to the captains son.
One day the Chinese cook was
sitting by his shanty, gazing dream
lily out at sea, when Frank, the cap
tain's son, put large pair of shears
in one of his monkeys paws and
pointed to the cooks pigtail. The
monk understood. With firm grip
on the shears, he shifted softly
around until he got directly behind
the doing Chinaman and-click'
the pigtail was off and the grining
monk was shining up the rope lad
der with the prize. Suffering JOS
eph! How that Chinaman yelled!
Every man aboard the ship run up
to see who killed him, and when
they!looked up and saw the heather
monk waving the pigtail they I'M
derstood and laughed until the tears
come down their faces. Bot it was
no joke to the Chinaman. The loss
of his pigtail meant that he would
be shut out from the place where
the good Cinnamon if there are
any-would 60, and if he had had
his choice he would have preferred
that Mr.. Monk had amputated his
arm.
But more serious trouble was
coming to another member of the
crew, and Frank cast 'Oma Paul,
the billy goat, to star in that great
