That Insurance Case. j:

s'Marcus Cnlius,' Cicero said to his le-
gal friend, meeting him one morning on
the other side ct screen under the capt.
toll, ewhat shall it be?'' .s@
Caelius said he would take little spiri-
tus fumenti optimus, straight, and the
orator, remarking that that was the size
of his, went on:
II wish you would get out the necessa-
ry papers some time to-day, and bring
suit for me against the Yellow Tiber Fire
and Marine Insurance Company, for, the
amount Of its policies on my villa at
Tusculum, and my town house."
M. C9lius looked up in alnazement.
"Why,'' he exclaimed, swhen did they
burn down? And what was it2 Accident?
Mob! Some OF Clodius' people2"
"No," Cicero said, they are intact as
yet, and in fact I haven't insured them
yet, but am going to 90 so tomorrow,
and I want to bring. suit against the
Company now, so if ever they should hap
pen to burn I VOL t have quite So long to
wait for the money" e,,l.. I'D .tsss i 4!
C9lius saw that the orators head was
level, and brought suit that afternoon.
Eleven years afterward the villa at Tus-
culum and the town house were both de-
stroyed by fire. The suit had by that
time been in FIVE different courts, and had
been confirmed and reversed and remand
ed. and referred to the master to take
proof, and stricken from the docket, and
rebutted. and surrebutted, and implead-
ed, and rejoined, and filed, and quashed,
and continued, until nobody knew what
1t was about, and Cicero was notified,
three weeks after the fire, that he would
have to prove wilful and long continued
absence AID neglect, as he could not get
decree simply On grounds of incompat-
Utility OF temperament. And when he
went to the secretary of the company,
that official told him the company didn't
know any thing about the fire, and had
no time to attend to such things. The
company's. business, the secretary said,
was to insure houses, not to run around
to fires, asking about the insurance. If
he wanted any information On those
points, he would have to ask the fremen
or the newspaper reporters. s,g 4
The more man reads in these old
histories, the more he is convinced that
the insurance business in the DAYS of the

friends at g distance, sometimes friends
happened to call and LOOK through the
institutions, and would contribute. but
always there came relief at the right time.
AfeW5y years later a donati OF $25, 900 was
received, and he opened another institu-
IN the same street. Then another era
came. They were overcrowded; there
were 1875 orphans and more wanting to
come in. They decided to build. About
SO 900 were necessary, though they did
rot have 81 in the treasury. He deter
mined to go ahead with the building,and
therefore began to pray. he prayed one
day, two days, five days, and still no
money came in. He prayed still trust
fully fifteen days, thirty days, and nota
single penny came. I. 81
On the thirty-fourth day the first do
nation Of $4,000 came in, and he wasn't
ut all excited. laughter He had great
faith, which had been strengthened by
exercise. At first he could trust God for
SIS, afterwards Tor $40, afterwards for
500, afterwards for $1,000, and now he
could trust God for $1,0O0,0OO. He re-
peated that he wouldn't have been excited
at receiving $4,000 instead of $4,000 at
that time. The money came in rapidly,
and in few months he had enough mon,
ey to commence building, but he did not
put his signature to the contract until
there was enough to pay for the whole
building, Yet strange circumstance
was that while there was $4,000 or
$4,000 in the bank to the credit of the
building fund, the orphans were often
suffering tor bre akfast, yet he never
touched cent of the fund, If he had
done SO the first time his spiritual Their
mometer would have gone down ten de-
grees, and ten degrees erery time after
wards
The house was opened soon afterwards
and filled, and there were still applica-
tions and he did not know what to do.
Then he prayed, and finally started in to
builG another asylum for 700 orphans II
four or tive years two more houses were
completed, and there was room for 1000
orphans. and that too, though the first
house had cost $4,000. Then there
were more orphans waiting and he six
years later had built two more houses,
costing 100000. These asylums were
near together and were like little town.
These five houses had 1,7O0 windows
larger then those of Far we'll Hall. There
were generally from 500 to 600 On hand.
The children were only those who had
been bcreft of both parents, and aaother
condition was that they must have been
lawfully begotten; and still another con,
dition was that they must be destitute.
When these conditions were fulfilled no
child was refused from any part OF the
world. ..s-s

Retiring From Buiness.

What the colonei's business was no
body knew, nor did anybody care partic-
ularly. He purchased for cash only. and
never grumbled at the price of ANYTHING
he wanted; who could ask more than
that?
Curious people occasionly wondered
how, when it had been fully two years
since the colonel, with everyone e-else,
abandoned Dutch Creek to the Chinese,
he managed to spend money, freely and
TO lose considerable at cards and horse,
Gaces. In fact, the keeper of that one of
sthe two Challenge Hill. saloons which the
colonel did not patronize, was once heard
to absent mindedly wonder whether the
colonel hadn't a money mill somewhere,
where he turned out double eagles, and
"slugs's (the coast name for ffty-dollar

When so important a parsonage as a
bar-keeper INDUCES publicly in an idea,
the inhabitances Of Challenge Hill, like
good Californians everywhere, considered
themselves in duty bound to. give it grave
consideration, so tor few days certain
industrious professional gentlemen, who
won money Of the colonel, carefully weigh
ed some of the brightest pieces and tested
them with acids, and tasted them, and
sawed them in two, and retired them, and
melted them up ana had the Jumps as
ssayed.
The result was complete vindication
Of the colonel, and loss of considerable
custom to the indiscreet bar keeper. IA
The colonel was as good natured man
las had ever been known at Challenge Hill,
ibut being MOI tai, the colonel had his &C.
tcasional times of despo dency, and one
of tkem occurred after series OF races
lin which he had staked his all on his own
sbay mare Tpsie. and had lost.
Looking reproachfully at his beloved
animal he failed to feel the aching void
of his pockets, and drinking deeply,
swearing eloqnently and glaring defiant
ly at all man kind, were equally unpro-
ductive of coin.
The boys at the saloon sympathized
most feelingly with the colonel ;they were
unceasing in their invitations to drink,
and they even exhibited consid erable
Christian forbearance, when the colonel
seavaggely dissented with every one who adj
vanced any proposition, no matter how
incontrovertible.
But unappreciated sympathy grows de-
scidedly tiresome Of the giver, and it was
with a feeling of relief that the boys saw
sthc colonel stride out of the saloon,
smeunt Tipsie, and gallop furiouslY away.
Riding on horseback has always been
considered All excellent sort Of exercise,
land fast riding is universally admitted to
she one OF the most healthful and dellght-
sui means of exhilaration in the world
But when a man is SO absorbed in his
exercise that he will not stop to speak to
q friend and when his exhilaration is so
complete that he turns his eyes from
well meaning l'. thumbs pointing signif-
.cantly into doorways through which a
man has often passed while seeking brac-
ing inhuences,it is but natural that people
should express some wonder.
The colonel was well known at Todd :

The Prayer Gauge.


George Mueller, of Bristol, England, gave
an account of the methods by which he
proceeded and now supports number of
orphan asylums What bad led to the
idea he said, was his visits in pastoral
work, when he felt there was nothing so
wanting as faith in Christian people and
care for the fatherless children. There
did not seem much chance to do any,
thing, as he had no money or influence;
but having weighed the matter we'll he
determined to trust in the living God,
and begin an orphan asylum, leaving the
care of it to God. He was not hasty
person, and it took long consideration for
him to reach that decision. One evening
he was reading through the word of god,
ana came to the eighty first Psalm, and
read:
II am the Lord thy God. which brought
thee out of the land Of Egypt; open thy
mouth wide ana will fill it,
He fell on his knees and prayed to God
to give him suitable house for the
orphan asylum and thousand pounds, or
$4,000 in American money. 4 That seem
ed like an immense sum, and he trusted
in God to get it. The first day he re-
ceived two shillings from poor German
missionary, and another little donation
from another missionary, but little by
little the money came in, and shortly af-
ter he received $500 from poor woman,
who earned 81 day from sewing. He
at first refused the money, but the woman
compelled hiE to keep it. In about

receiving applications. He went to the
house and waited three hours. but there
was not an application. he went home
discouraged, and cast himself on the
floor, almost in, despair. He prayed
to God. The next morning the first ap-
plication was received, and in a month
forty two applications were received, and
in six months he opened another mouse
for very little boys aud girls, below 8
years. d.
In nine months he opened third
house for boys overs years, and during
six months the prosperity Of these insti:

money was gone. People would think
that he should then be discouraged; but
on the contrary. ne glolled IN the fact,

Ode For the Fourth Of July, 1914.
By William Cullen Bryant in the Hampshire
s..ll Gazette, July e, 1874. .441 y.

By William Cullen Bryant in the Hampshire
@ 4 Gazette, July 6, 1914 s4
Amidst the storms that shake the land,
The din Of party fray,
And woes of guilty war, we meet
To hymn this sacred day,
For all that breathes Of ancient worth
Our lingering hope reveres;
Each print Of freedoms sacred steps,
Each trace of happier years.
Our skies have glowed with burning towns,
Our SHOWS have blushed with gore,
And fresh is many a nameless grave
BY Erie's weeping shore.
In sadness,le the anthem foW,-
But tell the men Of strife, 3
On their own heads shall rest the guilt
OF all this waste Oflife.
But raise, to swell the general song,
Our notes of hottest sound;
And bless the hands which rent the chain
The struggling world that bound.
Lo! Europe wakes the sleep Of death
Her pristine glories warm!
The soul Of ancient freedom comes
And fills her mighty form!
Well have We fought, We friends Of man,
Well was your valor shown;
The grateful nations breathe from war
The tyrant lies O'erthrOWn.
Well might yc tempt the dangerous fray,
Well dare the desperate deed;
Ye knew how just your cause-Ye knew
The voice that babe We bleed
To thee the mighty plan we owe
To bid the world be free;
The thanks Of nations, Queen of Isles!
Are poured to heaven and thee.
Yes-hadst not thou, with fearless arm,
Stayed the descending scourge;
These strains, that chant nations birth,
Had haply hymned its dirge.
But where was raised our cou,st,y's hand
Amidst that dreadful strife?
Where was her voice when hopes grew faint,
31a And freedom fought for life?
oh! bitter are the tears we shed,
Columbia! DER thy shame!
"A stain the deluge could not cleanse
Forever blots thy fame.
Nor to avenge anation's wrongs
Does power demand our aid;
The, sword is bared-but angry Heaven
If Frowns on the accused blade.
: The men who snatched it from the sheath,
Afearful curse withstands;
The blood of innocent is red o.
Upon their guilty hands.
Still, to defend our country's shores,
We hasten to the field;
And should the foe invade-our ranks
May fall, but never yield.
The day that sees the victory theirs,
Shall look on many grave;
Our veteran fathers taught their sons
To guard the soil they gave.
Come to thine ancient haunts, and bring
Thy train of happy years,
Oh, PEACE! the sunshine of thy smile
Shall dry nations tears!
From hill, and plain, and oceans verge,
While with the unwonted Sail,
Shall burst boundless shout of JOY,
Thy rain renewed. to hail!

Sulphur and Tar.

A Telegram reporter happened in
an Office yesterday where he found a
party of gentlemen discussing the all
important topic of protection against
yellow fever. Various preventativcs
were discussed, all of which had
their merits and were commended
for simplicity. One in particular
was regarded as good, and instances
brought forward of where it had
proven eflectual and why it would
again do so at this particular time.
The plan proposed was to get tar
and burn it with sulphur in
every ward in the city from sun
down to sun up. 1t was argued that
in the days before railroads the coun-
try people came into town in wa
gons. They generally arrived soon
after daybreak and left before night
fall. That not one of these people
ever caught the fever unless they re-
manned in town over night. This
was taken as conclusive proof that
the fever would not spread as much
in day time as at night.
Again in New Orleans in 1867 dur
ing the epidemic there some two hun
dred men were engaged in laying the
Nicholson pavement on st. Charles
avenue. In laying this pavement
much hot tar is used and II is claim
ed that not one of the men engaged
in that work were taken sick with
the fever. 1t is now suggested that
as tar and sulphur are both compar-
atively cheap that this mode of dis
infection be resorted to If the fever
makes Its way towards Houston.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF STRIKES
"Where are you going with the pup
pies, my little man 2" asked o gentle
man of a small boy yesterday whom
he met with three pups in a basket.
"Goin' to drown them" was the
reply.
III want a pup for my little boy to
play with; what do you say to let
ting me take one of them ?"
''i'll sell you one" spoke up the
boy with true American enterprise.
I'm sell you this yaller one for
half dollar, the black one seventy
five cents, and the spotted one is
worth dollar"
81 think my boy would like the
spotted one best, but you ask too
much for il. You had intended
drowning all of them, but I'll give
you twenty-five cents and save you
the trouble of drowning the spotted
one"
"Twenty-five cent? foi that spott-
ed pupp exclaimed tho boy: 81
can't stand it; taxes is high; rent is
high; groceries is high oil is down,
and going lower-oh, no; can't take
less than dollar"
"But you intend 20 drown
"Take the black one at seventy
five cents"
"My little boy wouldn't like the
black one"
"Take the yaller one at half a dol
lar, and he's dog cheap"
