A CHEERFUL LIAR
I
TTVade a tirade against something he knew little about. He asserted that a turkey was a goose
and a bearded goat a playful lamb; some fools believed him. He declared that fratemaj
life insurance is a delusion and a snare, that religion is a farce and marriage a failure; he thinks
everybody is a grafter because he is dish onest himself. He has always been engaged in a small
business, requiring no capital and less brains, yet he thinks he is a great financier; he criticises the
cost of management, the expenditures for necessary tools and materials, the compensation paid to
officers and employes, crying: "Enormous! Enormous!" A man of such litde soul may find followers
of the same ilk, but the jolly, healthy, vigorus, industrious, reliable man, being honest and honorable
himself, gives credit to others for the same virtues. Such men compose the successful fraternal bene
ficiary societies of which the Woodmen of the World is chief. Its largest emergency fund, to rninimize
cost, and its surplus, now aggregate over thirteen and a half million dollars. Largest in America,
680,000 members, $45,000,000 death claims paid, 30,000 monuments erected at its graves. An
honest order for honest men. Monthly rates lowest consistent with safety Nothing Belter.
