Modem Woodmen
America
In a Generation of Successful Operation, Has Paid in Death Claims over
II == $105,000,000.00
« ■' <■* *■'/’ ■*.
This amount of payments has been equaled by only eight old line life insurance companies in their entire career, covering from 37 to 69 years. Based on its own broad
\ experience, the Modern Woodmen Society has adopted tables of rates
ADEQUATE .’. EQUITABLE .*. SOUND
No Old Line Insurance Company can give such a rate, or use its actual fexparience. All are compelled to base premium rates on th death rates of the American Table
■ >- a
of Mortality, averaging ona-fourth grater than that actually expariened, and the policy holders must pay on that scale.
RESULT: Annual Rates per $ 1,000 of Insurance, Level for Life, Leading Old Line Companies,
Contrasted with the Level Whole Life Annual Ratea of the M. W. of A.
When agents of these companies, or others,
wrote lower rates, they are either trying1 o
palm of Term insurance, with premium ffi-
creasing at the end of a term of years,
Level Premium Whole Life insurance, or they
are lying.
The new tables of rates have been adopted
to enable members of the Modern Woodmen
Society.
To obtain sound insurance worth 100 cents
on the dollar whenever death occurs, with the
right to pay for its actual cost only, in the
way and under the {tlan each man elects for
himself.
To give every member what he pays for and
to require him to pay for nothing he does
not get.
To relieve the older members of every dol-
lar of burden from which it is possible to
relieve them.
To establish certainty as to amount and
number of future rates in place of previous
uncertainty.
To make double headers impossible because
unnecessary. ^
THESE THINGS ARE AGCOMPLISHDE
BY THE NEW TABLES? Cfl* RATES OF THE
MODERN WOODMEN SOCIETY; AND NO
LESS RATES WOULD ACCOMLPISH THEM.

SOLACE FOR THE GRIEVING
Really Beautiful Custom That Exists
Among Arabs East sf
the Jordan.
“Arabs east of the Jordan have a
custom which shows a kindly feejflag
one toward another,,” writes a -trav-
el. “If a man’s horse dies (next to
his eldest son, his best companion)
his neighbor will bring in another
horse and put it in the stall, of the
dead one and allow it to remain sev-
en days, thinking in* some measure
to’ make up for the lo6s of the dead
$ animal. The women also do some-
thing similar when a baby dies. A
relation or friend will give the be-
reaved mother her own baby to nurse
and care for during seven days; in
that time the parent is supposed to
become reconciled to her loss.
“Memory calls up a touching in-
cident that occurred* in our domestic
life in Moab. Soon after our advent
into that land my wife had the mis-
fortune to lose a little one. It
soon became known and the women
were very grieved about it. A day
or two after a young chief that had
always been kindly disposed toward
us presented himself at .our door.
“I asked him in, he entered, and
from under his cloak brought ft tiny
white lamb. He put it into my wife’s
arms, saying, ‘I’m sorry for your
)nu. and if I Md a baby would have
'
lent it to you to care for until you
had got over your grief; I had this
Iamb, so have brought it for you
to look after, feed and care for.’ ” s

WEDDED DE8PITE INJURIES.
A marriage was performed the
other day in Pittsburgh, Pa., which
testifies to the powers of endurance
of both bride and bridegroom. The
couple, who are Poles, were united
in a Polish church, standing before
the altar trith the upper part ol
their bodies swathed in bandages be-
cause of burns received just before
they were to start for church, when
the bride’s veil caught fire from an
open grate, igniting her clothing
and that of the bridesmaid, who also
was seriously burned. In rescuing
the women the man was painfully
injured. The ceremony had to be
delayed, while the sufferers were at-
tended to by a physician. The bridal
party then proceeded to the church
leaving the prospective bridesmaid
writhing in 'pain.
ROCK DEMOLISHED CHURCH.
As the cure was saying mass in
the Church of Les Cabannes, in the
department of Ariege, southern
France, the other day, a rock over-
hanging the building, and known
as the Rocher de la Vierge, fell with-
out warning, and crashed through
the roof, causing the walls to col-
lapse. The priest was killed at the
moment of the Elevation of the
Host, and the chorister who was as-*
sisting had a leg broken, besides
sustaining other injuries. After
the rock fell a hot sulphur spring is-
sued with considerable force from
the ground and the gradual action
of the water behind the rock is sup-
posed to have been the cause of the
accident.
FIND LEAD ORE IN 8COTLAND.
A rich seam of sulphide of lead
has been discovered in the north of
Scotland, at Spittal, in Caithness.
Several workmen are already em-
ployed at the quarry following up
the seam, and the ore, which is in
abundance, is of good quality. Qual-
ified prospectors also state that large
and paying quantities of lead lie un-
der the clay of Wick Harbor and
along the great “Fault,” which con-
tinues on to Watten quite undis-
turbed.
