TTTE CtttAIIA' SUNDAY KEEi 'AVTCTL SO, 1911 9 X tJJL Home of a Great Insurance Organization Architects, engineers and contractors who have seen ths plans for the proposed Woodmen of the World building, to be erected at Fourteenth and F'arnam streets, make very favorable comment on the beauty, proportion and proponed construc tion of the building. A clay model of the structure Is now on exhibition in the show window of the Owl drug store at Sixteenth' and Harney streets. The architects, Ilolabird A Roche of Chi cago, have been preparing plans and speci fications for several months, under the direction of J. M. Walshe, a well known office building specialist. The building will b ISO feet on Farnam and 132 on Fourteenth, running up to 232 feet In height. It was decided to omit a proposed tower, the building being of such a superior character that a tower would not add to Its beauty. The out shown Is a photograph of a miniature plaster cant model of the proposed building. The sub-basement covers the rear half of the lot and extends under the sidewalk and will contain the most completely equipped modern Isolated electric plant In any office building In the country. There will be three large electric light and power units of the latest design directly coupled to four valve high speed steam engines. Three large boilers with "Dutch" ovens smd modern coking grates. Coal will be dumped In the bins directly from the alley. The ashes will be delivered to wagons In the alleys by a modern ash elevator. A large storage battery will act as an auxll Uary and furnish light and power during nights and Sundays. In the basement proper aro laid out a most complete cafeteria, or self-serving ' lunch room with the very latest type of apparatus for the operation of this most unique of all types of restaurants The barber shop, alBO on this level, will be the most modern and most beautiful shop west of the Mississippi; arranged for ten chairs, two manlaure stands, and baths of all kinds. 1 ' The entrance to the building on Farnam street is the very height of architectural Beauty, In bronze and marble; the doors and vestibule In statuary bronze, opening Into a grand Imposing corridor thirty feet high, finished in Colorado marble, etched with "Italian skyroa." Two grand stair ways lead up to the second floor and two others lead down to the basement A beautiful chandelier with 116 lights hangs in the center of this marble wall formed by the starlways. In the front on either side of the vestibule are worked In in a unique and pretty way, two stands one for elgara and the other for flowers. Two doors also open Into the stores on either aide of the lobby, whloh is In the center of the building. Just back of the stairways are six mod ern blgn speed electrlo passenger elevators arranged In two groups of three on each side and enclosed In a handsome design mt statuary bronxe backed by plate glass. Looking from the front entrance doors one sees the huge steel and concrete vault, dosed in with heavy bronze gates, behind which tho I1J,000,000 in reserve securities of the Woodmen of the World will rest in view of all visitors. On either side of tho entrance will be two modern storerooms. The storeroom on the corner has been leased to the Rock Island for Its city ticket office. J To are will bo three storerooms "on Four teenth street and tho space behind the vault and under the light court will be oo oupled as the supply and mall departments of the sovereign ooundl.

GIRL TELLS THE BEST STORY i i LlfO Miss Wine Flfty-Dollas Prise to OrtsTtBAl Ararsuaaemta In Fa vor of Taltln- Omt Lit n " Foiiey. Tho problems of life are not to grownups alone. Essay submitted In a competition conducted by aa eastern Insurance concern tndJoated, that competitor had Invested mental process unexpected at their years. Many of those who painfully penned their efforts at prise winning stories told only a saddened childhood experience as their best argument in favor of life insurance. To the penniless orphan tho point is clear. Tho first prise was given to Winifred E. SBdrod, IS year old, Norfolk, Va., who wrotei It seems that the best way In which to explain how great an assistance the policy of life Insurance la proving to thousands of families, 1 to illustrate by our own case. "There aro, In our family, the parents, a boy of nineteen, and two younger girls. My father life la Insured for only, a mod erate amount; for In case of his death, no debt would remain to be discharged, and tbo whole amount would be paid to mother. He la also insured by an accident policy, which provides a ready sum of money to be given to mother in event of his death by aooldent "Thu father la not obliged to save money to leave us provided for in case of his death. He earns a comfortable income by his work, which enables him to support his family comfortably, to give them luxur ies, and to have extra money for pleasures and charities; but above all to send his daughters to school and his son to college giving the son thereby an opportunity to distinguish himself, which opportunity he is using well. If father's life were not Insured, he would be obliged to save money In order to be pre pared for accident or death; then we would not be able to attend school, but must be at work In order to save and at the same time live comfortably. "Thus the benefit of the Insurance Is en joyed during the life of our father. "Also while saving money, If It Is de posited in a bank, there Is danger of the bank falling; In Insurance it Is perfectly Safe. "W therefore consider ourselves well provided for, and hope that many others will avail themselves of this great pro tection" Thomas Williams, 17 years old, a New Tork City boy, said In his argument: "Every father should Insure his life for three reasons: (1) As a duty to his wife and children; (-' To Instil a moral forco Into the home; (3) As a good Investment. "First what would be thought of a father, who allowed his family to starve during his lifetime? Would he be con sidered a good father? Decidedly not. And silll. Is he much better, who leaves :. protection to his widow, to his orphan chil dren? He may be young, and so think that there Is abundant time to provide for death; yet, the wave of life may break at Its very crest, and dash to pieces the trail bark resting upon It , "Further, it Is Ids duty, to set a good sample before his children, that they may be Instructed lu prudence and foresight.

The rear portion is a decidedly new and unique Idea, found in only the very latest types of office buildings. There is a space for public- stenegrapher, publlo telephones, messengers and telegraph offices. Sur rounding this space and opening Into it are about twenty small private office which will be rented as "desk space," In cluding all conveniences of this space at a very nominal price. The building Is L-shaped, with every office In the building naturally lighted, not a dark office in the building. The third floor will be leased to the Woodmen Clxole, the Woodmen of the World auxiliary. The fourth to the ninth floors will be oc cupied by the sovereign camp offloes of ths order. Abovo these will be the most delightfully cool, well-arranged convenient commeAjal offices In the state. Every modern convenience of any practical value has been arranged for; prisma tio glass In upper sash to thoroughly light the office. electric lighting, maple floors, mod oral y fin ished, Clrcassion walnut used in all the In torlor finish, vacuum cleaning, bot and cold water in every offloo. Ice oold sterilized re frigerated drinking water In each corridor, tile and marble corridors, painted walls. Venetian blinds and a great many other attractive features appreciated by those lose any part of his previous premiums, and in so striving will receive an educa tion in thrift "Lastly, an Insurance policy Is a good, sure investment A man may put his sur plus cash Into a savings bank,' and think he is all right But he can draw the money from a bank. This he does, subtly, almost unwittingly. Then the demon pro crastination prevent blm from redeposlt ing It until the slender thread of Ills life I snapped, and his wife left destitute. How many men, on their beathbeds, curse their neglect in not providing for their loved ones, when, were their lives insured, they might die In peace. na There la pathetic appeal In the expres sion of the idea from Mattle M. Norman, a tot of S years, at Herford, N. C. She writes: "Papa ought to insure hi life be cause when he die to mak a way so that mamma and I can have some money to live on. And to leave money if he should owe any debt so mamma could pay them. And send me to school so I can take care of mamma when she 1 old." BIG MONEY FOR RARE BOOKS A Million and a Quarter Dollars Paid for Library of Brooklyn Man. A world' record In the sale of books was made In New York last week when George D. Smith, a dealer of 4S Wall street paid 1,2,000 for the library of E. Dwlght Church, a brooklyn millionaire, who died a year and a half ago. No such figure ever has been apiroached at private sale or auc tion in this country or In Europe. Negotia tions with the Church executors had bern In progress for six months. Mr. Smith had one competitor In the bidding. The collection, which contains between 3S.0U0 and 40,000 volumes, is conceded to be one of the finest In America privately owned. Every volume Is a rare one, while manuscripts and prints of great value are Included. It cost Mr. Church M),0u0 to get up seven volumes of the catalogue. The books were placed In two divisions, five volumes of the catalogue being devoted to American and two to English literature. All the classical authors are represented' In the library, and the collection of Fhake speare Is ranked as the fourth best in ex istence, the other three being in public libraries In European capitals. There are forty-three quartos of the plays of the Hard of Avon, printed years before. the folios. These probably would bring from $1,000 to $15,000 each on the market There Is a first edition of Shakespeare's "Lu crece," said to be worth $18.0(0. "The Llfa of Franklin." In his own hand writing, Is one of the Interesting features of the collection, one which couldn't be bought for less than $33,000. Then there are sixty of the original "Poor Richard Almanacs," one of which contains Frank lin s dally program of work in his own handwriting. Another book gives George Washington's genealogy of his family in his own hand writing. This work was finished In sl. but was begun many years earlier, for In referring to himself In one place Washing ton had placed an asterisk. In a footnote he wrote "now president" Included, too, are original letters of Columbus. I The Day psalm book, the first printed In this country, which came off the first press set up In Cambridge In 1C40, is an other treasure. There are two letters from Major Andre, and also his signature to a parole granted In Pennsylvania after ha had been arrested the first time. There is a copy of Charles Lamb's letter of proposal to Frances Maria Kelly on July 30, Ul, a.'.d also her reply, showing she refused his marriaKu offer on the very same day. Tlie:e is also an engraving of the Boston masHacre, made by Paul Revere. New York World. H n, II- llSili'a'lPiv",!! im i . 1 1 ii Li si sis ..--" ti ' It 1 1 . ii'J .

The elevators have been carefully looked Into and many new original and novel de vices will be used for the first time which will help to bring the elevator service up to the highest point of efficiency. On the roof over the elevators will be a large observation gallery, where vUltors can get an unobstructed view of the city and surrounding country. This will be open to the public at certain hours of the day. The Woodmen are sparing neither effort nor expense to make this the, most modern and up-to-date office building west of New York City, and even there will "stack up" with the vast majority of buildings. The elegance, dignity and Imposing grandeur of the outside will be maintained inside. Mr. Walshe, the manager, has established offices at 607 Woodmen of the World build ing and will be a resident of Omaha. He has just left Little Rock, Ark., having com pleted the twelve-story office building for the State National bank of that city. The Little Rock papers speak very highly of Mr. Walshe and his unique profession In which he has established himself as an authority. He Is a booster of the first water, and while Little Rock regrets losing him It congratulates Omaha on securing him as a citizen. CORPORATE SURETY THE BEST Harry S. Byrne Says People Are Get ting Away from the Personal. EXAMINED LIKE THE BANKS Personal Insurance Pats the Property of the Man in Jeopardy and Involves Comfort of Ills Family. "The irowth of the business of cor porate surety as distinguished from per sonal surety ha been astonishing, In par ticular within the last few years," ay Harry a Byrne, assistant secretary of the National Fidelity and Casualty company and manager of Its department of surety bonding. "One great reason for this has been the revolution that government supervision has worked In the business. It has been a development comparatively recent, and has already given the business of surety bonding a stability and a solidarity that has worked wonder in the confidence that It has Inspired. It Is doubtful whether any other one thing could have done as much. "Understand, this government supervision Is not compulsory on all companies, al though in Its working out It has proved practically so for the great majority. The case 1b simply this: All companies that write surety for the federal government, either on employes of it, or contractors doing work, or In any other connection, cannot do so and have the amount of the risk exceed 10 .per cent of 1U capital and surplus, and the point of the case Is, that when they take government business under this provision, It also applies to all other business that the company does. As a majority of the companies write government surety, they come in under this j 10 per cent rule. Companies Examined. "As the government has its bank ex-1 amlners also take care of the surety com- j panles In which It Is Interested, It puts t them on a par with the banks, as far as j solidarity Is concerned, at least. The examiners check up the companies and ; make quarterly reports. This government 1 restriction and accompanying supervision Is responsible in a large measure for the present healthy condition of the buslntss. "People do not fall to see Its good points. Take an example of Its working out. The ' treasurer of the city of Chicago was re cently bounded for S2.0O0.O00. Twelve to I fourteen companies In amounts varying ; from U0.0O0 to ftC.000, participated In b' surety. Look at the result. His bond Is ' as safe as anything could be. The capital , of those companies lnthe sum total can t counted only In tens of millions. For an other instance, our company Issues the treasurer of this state for tl.000.000. We are forced to reinsure In a number of other companies. "People are coming to see that for from any point of view, the asking or granting of personal surety Is bad business. Bad for all parties to the transaction bad for one who signs, bad for the one who seeks the favor, and bad for the one accepting the surety. "The man who signs Involves his per sonal resources aid often his family's comfort and happiness, knowing little or nothing of the hssardous features of the bond. Corporate Inajranre Beat. "The man who asks the favor will have to reciprocate very likely at some time; may be ambarassed la th discharge of his m : - - . e mm mm mm duties by the Interests of his bondsmen; snd has not the advantaxe of the legal ad vice that corporate surety carries with It "The person that accepts personal surety does not receive the protection that he alms at because personal surety may die, move away or become Insolvent before any liability under the bond develops. The one great thing In favor of a company, la that Its assets are tangible while those of an Individual are not. "For another thing In this question of personal vs. corporate surety. People make the frequent mistake of overlooking the obvious. They say, 'It's just a matter of form; there's no liability. If there was no liability no bond would be required. "Another feature of this business that has come Into prominence of late Is the applica tion of department store methods. Nearly all the companies who started out with only surety and fidelity bonding have been forced Into the other lines of accident, bur glary, liability, plate glass, etc. "When we started out, we started on this multiple basis, and my prediction that it would be fully justified has proved true. Of late nearly everybody Is being com pelled to go over onto the multiple basis." The Omaha Bee's Great Booklovers Con test Thirty-nine prizes. You can enter at ny time. GONE TO THE WILD WEST Still the Tame Article Is Good Enoaah for Buffalo Bill's Last Year. At the end of this season's tour of Buf falo Bill's Wild West show, Conolel WU lam F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), the famous scout and showman, will retire 'to his ranch at Cody, Wyo., and divide his time thereafter between the ranges and his min ing property In Arizona. When asked whether he would leave the saddle for the rocking chair. Colonel Cody pulled up abruptly with this answer: "No, sir.. No one will ever find me in a rocking chair. As a matter of fact, I'll be In the saddle during the rest of my days more than I am now In this business. I'm not going to settle down and sit In a cor ner. Anyone that comes out west looking for me will be pretty apt to find me on the back of a horse. I couldn't lead any thing but an active life. I never hang around a city when I'm through with my season, i nine lor the Kockles and go hunting and shooting. That's the life for me. "Do you think a man can run on in this business for three or four hundred years? Now, I've been a pretty steady man in my public career. It began in 1872 at Niblo's Garden, when I appeared In "The Scouts of the Plains," not counting the years I was before the publlo, In a way, as a real scout. Then In 1883 I organ ized the Wild West, and I've been keep ing it up ever since. "There Is no more wild west. The last of It went when I settled up the Big Horn Basin, the metropolis cf which, you know, Is named after me. A lot of people here In the east think the west is fit only for coyotes and rattlesnakes, but one of these days they'll recognize that It Is the richest part of the country. The brainiest men of the country como from the west "We raise the healthiest and brainiest children on the faoe of the earth, and they broaden with nature. What chance has a person to broaden in a city, with its nar row streets and brick walls? You have to go west to find room In which to do that Why, out here you throw out your arm and hollcrl You feel so good you just have to holler. You're glad you're alive, and you're thanking God you're In a healthy country." .Philadelphia North American.
