When the war broke out the Woodmen of the World immediately declared that all the members who enlisted should be kept in good standing w ith out any cost on the part of those entering the army. This action was reinaikable in view of the fact that many insurance companies have a clause in their policies making same void in case of death while in na val or military service. The patriotic action on the ¡»art of the Woodmen of the World was followed by a great many of the fraternal orders of the country. Wh<-n the idea was advocated that it w< uld I m * right and proper and in har mony with the spirit of Oregen to er<ct a monument to the memory of the Oregon Volunteers, the Woodmen of the World immediately came to the front and by reason of their series of demon strations three years ago, gave the n ovemeut such an impetus that its ultimate sine ess was immediately HH- Hured and contributions for the pr<>|M>si- tion poured m from firm«, corporations, individuals and socities throughout the State. The action of the Woodmen of th® Wi«rld with reference to the Galveston g horror1 w as another example of the ord- . < «>r’A public spirite<Iness. In addition to Itiany thousands of dollars in death loss es |>aid by them many more thousinds of dollars were voluntarily contrih uted to living sufferers and Head Con sul F. A. Falkeuburg went personally to Galveston to distribute same, «laying many days and nights ainist the wreckage, derbis and horrors of the place distributing the generous offerings of the metnliership. The order in the State of Oregon is always wide awakejto any public movement. No sooner had I lie lA'wisand Clerk fair been broached then the Woodmen of the World pre- ¡»ared to assist it. The unanimity of sentiment in favor of the project which they are show ing is remarkable. Realiz ing that it we are to enthuse the entire nation we must first become enthused ourselves, the Oregon Woodmen of the World have chosen a splended method of making the jieople think and to think deeply with reference to the 1905 fair at tbe same time prosecuting their work of building up their society. They have chosen an unique badge on which is a stump (official emblem of the order) on the face of which appear the letters ” W.O.W.” These letters arc the initials of the Woodmen of the World, hut the Oregon membership have given it a new title and call it “ Wide-awake Oregon Woodmen.” There are four ex posed roots on the stump. Ou the end of each, which appear sawed or cut off, are one of the numerals thus completing the four figures 19-0.5. In Oregon this winter the Woodmen of the World will carry on an aggressive campaign secur ing new members, and their cry in nine tern hundred and five Candidates in the state of Oregon, during the winter 1902 3. This whs done in order to more fully fix in the minds of their memliership and the public generally the 1905 fair, it is also the nunilier of candidates the order would naturally initiate during the winter anyway. The camps in the city of Portland have pledged to secure 905 candidates allowing tlie entire re mainder of the state to furnish the balance, an even 1000. Following the usual social spirit ot this order, district and county initiation will tie held throughout the entire state. Several ('amps, which are contiguous to each otlier, will in each case, hold one grand joint initiation. General and local committees to carry on this work are living organized throughout the entire state and the en thusiasm which is lieiug manifested by the ” choppers” is a surprise to even those who are conversant with the activity which always characterizes this order in all its movements. The Oregon Woodmen will close their series of demonstration with great ban quets and other social events and it is safe to corM'lude that both the Woehl’s Fair ami the order itself will receive »plrndid assist a nee as a result of this activity on the |Nirt of the Woodmen of lessons were drawn from the conflict now being waged. Rev. Roliert Paddock, in an address before the West Side Young Men's Christian Association, said : •■¡t is strange that ministers do not talk |K>litic*. it is a pathetic condition of society and Christianity if preachers fail to take their part in the discussion of political subjects. Parishioners should demand that their ministers interest themselves in politics. A man cannot be a good Christian if he does not exercise all the privileges aud duties of good citi zenship. "Hundreds and thousands lire selling their votes every day. What does it mean ? ft means that those men realize no responsibility to the state, certainly not to God, and none to themselves.

There is a movement among brokers in New York to exclude women front their business houses and to deny them the privilege of speculating in stocks. Femininity, they say. has been given a fair chance to show its adaptability in "the street," and has failed miserably, reports the New York Times. For a long time many brokers have considered women undesirable patrons for a multitude of reasons. Of late the opposition has crystallized, and «eve ral prominent firms have taken a bold, determined stand to ostracise those members of. the fair sex whose gaming instinct and desire to gut rich quick prompt them to speculate on the markets. The following is a copy of a letter sent out by a well-known firm of stock brokers. It show« plainly the attitude of brokers, and it is not unlike letters that have been sent out recently by other firms: "Mrs. -----. Dear Madam: We regret to Inform you that In future we shall be unable to afford you the privilege of calling at our office on Blank street. We rtr.d that • • • some of our best customers consider it ur.dignlr- fied for women to frequent brokers' offices, and for that reason beg to ask that In fu ture you will kindly communicate with us only by letter or telephone. In this matter we have used nodiscrimination. Every wom an who has an account or who has dor.e business with us will receive similar no tice by the same mall. Yours very truly, "Stock Broker», — Broadway.” “A woman is a nuisance anywnere outside of her own home,” said a well- known reputable stock broker to a reporter who called on him at his of fice in a lower Broadway skyscraper the other day. ‘‘In the first place, a broker’s office is no place for a woman. The average woman knows little about brokerage. Business instinct is not innate in the woman, ordinarily speaking, and, worse than that, she can’t learn. Tell her all you know about stocks and market conditions and practices, and the next day she will ask you the same thing again. “Another thing: The woman who de sires to trade in stocks, knowing noth ing of them or the business, wants the broker to become her confidant, to tell just where and when to buy or sell. If she makes something out of an in vestment made on a broker’s advice, «he gloats over her shrewdness ‘on the street/ and the broker gets no credit whatever. Should she lose, and every broker must go wrong in predic tions once in awhile, then there’s the devil to pay.” Brokers «ay that a woman does not seem to be able to realize that there is a possibility of losing in speculating in stocks. Therefore she is what a gambler would call a "bad loser.” Of course, there is an occasional woman who knows the market and its sinuos ities, and is as “game” as any man on the street. But she is mighty scarce. The ordinary woman specula tor and trader makes an awful fuss when she makes a losing investment. Sometimes the spectacle is ludicrous in the extreme, but more frequently it is a sad one. Many women with the gaining instinct who, besides seek ing the excitement attendant upon the «peculation, hope to get wealthy in a few days, go into it when the money they stake is needed for the necessaries of life for themselves and their fam ilies. The result of the failure in the latter instance is pitiable. To broker it is nerve-racking. The New Boer Nation. ’ I T imber L and , A ct J unk 3, 1878.—N otici F ob I’r ri . ic a t ion .

Boers have accepted British sovereignty in Rood faith, and the Brit ish have conceived an almost exag gerated re«i>ect and admiration for the character of the Boer», whom they frankly despised at the beginning of the war. There i* one remarkable his torical paradox to be noted in the out come of this lamentable struggle. In the loss of their beloved independence, in the defeat of their cause, and in their seeming extinction or absorp tion. the Boer* have really come into a new birth as a nationality. It is not written that a young people capable of such heroism shall, after practical- ly dictating terms to the greatest em pire in the world, permit themselves to forget that they have had a great part in the making of history. This is not a day when small nationalities are assimilated and yield up their identi ty; and so. far from this being the end of the Boer nation, the pence of Pretoria is the beginning of it. These Boer farmers were the most obscure people of European stock in the whole world. They were far less known than the Icelanders. To-day they are pas sionately admired throughout every nook and corner of the civilized world. —Review of Reviews. Small Rat FLaartahla*.

It splits naturally in films as thin as paper. Seventy-eight profit sharing enter prises, affecting 53,526 workpeople, were in operation in Great Britain last year. The sanitation of the city of Ahme- dabad, India, is so bad that the mor tality is 70 per 1,000, with no epidemic to account for it. A white badger, which is almost as great a rarity as a white blackbird, was killed recently by the Axe Vale (England) badger hounds. Signor Schiaparelli the Milan as tronomer, has been elected an associ- ate of the French academy of science in the room of the late Baron Nor- denskiold. A Roman bowl of Samian make, said to be 2,000 years old, has been brought up from the sea bottom off Beachy Head by a Brightlingsee oys ter dredger. Maiden Bower, a pre-Roman earih- work, near Dunstable, England, is in danger of being destroyed by the ex tension of a chalk quarry, which has already been worked to within a few yards of the ancient rampart. The Pasteur institute for the treat ment of persons bitten by rabid ani mals in Calcutta is rapidly gaining in popularity among the natives. In the eight months ended May 31 last, 352 persons were treated, and the mortality was only eight per cent. Sericulture, the raising of silk worms, does not appear to increase in France. The official returns for last year show that 132,634 persons were engaged in the industry, as compared with 136,214 in 1900. In 1897 the num ber was 133,252.

LanfMft Difficulties That Reuet the People Who Start Up Mew Colonie«. There is no question in South Afric® of suppression of the language of the people. The language of the Boer people of South Africa is a patois called Taal, based on the seventeenth century Holland Dutch, with a mix ture of many strange word«, Kaffir and English, and with the omission of most grammatical inflection«. In that happy tongue you are permitted to say ”1 is.” It is needless to eey there is no literature in this patois, as there is in Hollander Dutch of this century. The official recognition of Hollander Dutch dates from 1882 in the Cape Colony, and is a result of a political propaganda of the Afrikan der Bund, says the Pall Mall Gazette. It was open-ly announced and hailed a« the ‘‘thin end of the wedge” to prevent the fusion of the Boer and British strains of the European people, and to drive the British into the sea. Tbe veld Boer does not understand Hollander Dutch; he dislikes the Hol lander outlander only a degree lgss than the British outlander, or than the French, Italian, German or any other outlander. He only hears the Hol lander tongue, or, rather, the seven teenth-century predecessor of it. in the text from the seVenteeth-eentury Dutch Bible read out in the churches on Sundays by the predikant, or in the hymns chanted by his fathers of the low lands, who worsted Alva, prose cutor of the saints of the Lord. A very minute proportion of tbe Boers have any business to transact in the law courts or public offices, un less such as are fully acquainted with English. For a generation before Ma- juba hill the Ikiers, desiring to give their children a fair start in their business dealings with the business people of the towns, hadf their chil dren taught English. The English governess was an institution among Boers of any position. At the present moment there are none of the Roer leaders who cannot speak English; there are many, of course, who will not. After so many years of active political propaganda of the Hollander Dutch language, in the year before the war in Pretoria there were only five per cent, of the case« in the law courts between non-English-speaking people. All business transactions were conducted in English; sales and mortgages of farms, sales of mining *ptions, dealings in stocks and shares, un'hases in shops of imported goods, ales in the market squares of agri cultural produce. Every Boer profes sional man. every Boer politician, had. as a necessity of life, to be acquainted with English.
