In the act of pilfering grain from a er

John's stster called upon Probation Of

Edna Burde, 15 years of age, and two
female companions, now at the Schllti ho

might have been more successful If they
were not now enacting the adjective in
real life.
Edna and her companion, were part of
the chorua when the company played tn
Omaha. They are now three disconsolate
girls awaiting a "remittance from home"
before they can take their baggage from
the hoatelry and shake the dust of Ne

It will get away while he is asleep. He mis

The latest figures from annual reports to
insurance departments tor the last year
(19fl) demonstrate more conclusively than
ever before that the fraternal system of life
Insurance Is one of the most important and
successful Institutions In the United States.
Its marvelous development Is apparent
In the (act that until lStie the old line life
Insurance Companies held the field and Ufa
Insurance could not be obtained elsewhere.
In IKS was recorded the birth of the pio
neer beneficiary society, the Ancient Order
of United Workmen. Year after year for
thirty-eight years the idea of co-operative
life Insurance has grown In popularity
among the people, until the story of its
development forms one of the most Inter
esting chapter In our nation's history. On
January 1, 1907, there were nearly twenty
distinct organisations, with a total mem
bership of a,W7.S70, carrying Insurance to
the amount of 7.(K1.624.W0.
At the beginning of 1906 public confidence
In life insurance had been shaken by the
astonishing disclosures of corruption made
by the legislative Investigating committee
of New York during the closing months of
1908.
Changes In tables of rates by some of
the leading fraternal also had a marked
tendency to check growth, so that the lead
ers In fraternal Insurance did not expect
to more than hold their own for the year.
Surprising Gains.
Results were contrary to all predictions,
for the record of WW surpassed that of any
previous year. Almost 1,000,000 new mem
bers were admitted. To be exsct, the re
ports show 177,297 new members, carrying
Insurance amounting to 1921.011,290 almost
fl.,009,000,000 insurance written by the fra
ternal system of the United states in spite
of most adverse conditions. In 1908 the fra
ternals paid clalma aggregating l37,721,0fiO,
an average of more than 15,500,000 dis
bursed monthly to widows and orphans of
deceased members. In 1906 the fraternals
not only fulfilled all obligations, but closed
the year December II with aggregate as
sets of SO.I0f,O0O, which was a net gain of
120,000,000 over the preceding year.
The remarkable volume of business trans
acted may be seen by compariaon with the
production, of gold. In 1906 the production
of gold In the United States was tS8.335.O0O.
and last year the fraternals paid 167.000,000
In benefits and had 10,000.000 asaets at the
close of the year. In thirty-eight years the
aggregate amount paid In death benefits
,., .11 .nMH.t m th vast sum of 1957.000. COO.
The amounts paid for death claims by
some of the largest and oldest societies
since organisation are;
Ancient Order of United Workmen, 1189,-
000.000; Royal Arcanum, IIOS.OOO.OOO; Knights
Of Honor, 139,000,000; Modern Woodmen, 6.

Foresters, 121,000,000; Improved Order of
Heptaaophs. 111,000,000, and United Order of
the Golden Cross. 19,000,000.
The Modern Woodmen of America has
the honor of being the largest fraternal
Insurance society In the United States. Its
membership on January 1, 1907, was 801.000
and the insurance In force was H.323.000.000,
Its net gain In-membership in 1906 was
S8.O0O and the death losses paid were $7,122.

annually for the purpose of considering all
question, pertaining to their general ad
vancement and to provide way. and mean,
