At the weekly conference meetings,
Rev. DIR. Blank was a good deal pestered
by a Jealous brother who was very
much edited by his own exhortations.
and it. was often deemed necessary to
"head him off, by, calling on some
body else to speak or pray just as he
was about to begin. On one. occasion,
as he rose to 1speak, d the pastor gently
interrupted him by saying: Brother,
will you lead US in prayer?" The
brother l1esitated bat a moment, and
made answer; [ was about to offer a
few remarks, but perhaps I can throw
them into the form of a prayer

INSURANCE ON THE TIBER.-''Marcus Cpli- us," Cicero said to his legal friend, meeting him one morning on the other side of screen under the Capitol, "what shall it be p
 Celus said he would take little sptrftus trunaen6 Optinaas, straight and the orator re- marking that that was about the size of his, went on:
 q wish you would get out the necessary papers some time to day, and bring suit for me against the Yellow Tiber Fire and Marine h. surance Company for the amount of its policies on my villa at Tusculum and my town house."
 NJ. Celius looked up in amazement.
 "Why," he exclaimed 'when did you burn down? And what was it Accident? Mob 1? Some of Clodius' people?
 "No," Cicero said, 'they are intact yet, and in fact, l haven't insured them yet, but am going to do so tomorrow, and want to bring suit against the company now, so that if they ever should happen to burn, won't have quite so long to wait for the money"
 C9lins saw that the orators head was level, and brought suit that afternoon. Eleven years afterwards the villa at Tusculum and the town house were both destroyed by fire. The suit had by that time been been in five different courts, and had been confirmed and reversed and remanded, and referred to the master to Idhc pIOUl, duu lTOul bL6 uOCkeG, ana amended, and rebutted, and surrebutted, and impleaded, and rejoindered, and filed andquash- ed, and continued until nobody knew what it was about, and Cicero was notified three weeks after the fire that he would have to prove will full and long continued absence and neglect as he could not get decree simply on grounds of incompatibiity of temperament And when he went to the secretary of the company, that official told him the company didn't knew any thing about the fire and had no time to attend to such things. The companys business, the secretary said, was to insure houses, not to rur around to fires, asking about insurance. If he wanted any information on those points, he would have to ask the firemen or the newspa. per reporters.
 The more man reads in these old histories the more he is convinced that the insurance business in the days of the prsetors was grea deal more like it is today. Burlington Hawk eye.
