THE Christian Register is savage when it
says: "The Examiners certificate of conf
dence in the president OF an insurance COM
pany runs as follows: I'VE have known him
ever since he was Christian and Sunday

ment brings queer look into the faces Of
many business men in the average city of
Great Britain and America"

WE find in several of our exchanges a
paragraph referring to the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company under the caption of "Fraudu-
lent Insurance." credited to the PRESS. The
caption was not part Of the paragraph pub

fraudulent" thing in the whole matter
seems to be the conduct of those who have
put this offensive caption over paragraph
purporting to be quoted. We call upon all
journals which have been cheated in this way
to make explanation and reparation.

A bright saying Of little Portland boy has
made its way to New York and is thus recorded
in the Shoe and Leather Reporter: Little Ar
thur. at the age OF five, had been taking liber.
ties with his mammals paints and he came
into the room with his hand ornamented with
the variety of mixed colors which his inquisi-
tiveness had discovered. "Why, what have
you been doing, my child" said mamma, "to
get your hands in such state?" ''That's .
secret" said Arthur. "You must tell me how
you got your hands SO soiled." ~ cant't tell
you, mamma: it's secret" "Arthur," said
she, quite in earnest now, 'if you dou't tell me
shall certainly whip you." The boy hesi-
tated moment, as If balancing his mind be-
tween two horns Of dilemma, and then he
said, plaintively, "You'll whip me IL do"
The apt answer averted the discipline of the
