HOW RAGBAG ENJOYED HIS PRAO-
IICAL JOKE

After Mr.. Ragbag had gone to bed
the idea of very funny joke occurred
to him. 1t seemed 50 funny that he
went into paroxysm of laughter and
twisted and squirmed so that he pulled
the bedclothes all out at the foot and
had to get out to tuck them in again,
and got awful cold, and made as much
noise as to awaken his wife in the next
room, and she, on hearing the cause OF
the commoton. told Ragbag he was
fool, and advised him 10 go to bed.
He did So but lay awake half the night
thinking of the joke, and the next morn
ing Ragbag hastily swallowed his break
fast and hastened out on the street to
play his joke. The first man he met was
Gallagher. Now, Gallagher's business
compels him to carry about 100 keys,
and Ragbag knows this. Gallagher was
Just the man Ragbag wanted to see.
Rushing up to Gallagher. he said
''Ah, Gallagher, have you lost key ,"
"Don't know" replied the victim
"let me see it. Said Ragbag - First
see if you have lost one" So Gallagher
took off his gloves and went to work.
He searched pocket after pocket, and
examined each and every bunch OF keys
carefully. 1t was sharp weather, and
his fingers got cold and numb. But he
kept at it. One hundred keys were a
good many to keep track OF, and Gala
CHER had to think of every lock about
his establishment, ana then look for
that particular key, and it was a tedious
job. And it wasn't satisfactory, either,
for Gallagher couldn't quite make up
his mind that one key was not missing.
He demanded a sight of the key found.
Then Ragbag's self-control gave way.
With a howl of laughter, he cried
"Why, 1 haven't found any. l Just
asked if you had lost one, as a matter OF
curiosity" 1t didn't take three seconds
for Gallagher to decide what to do. The
snow for forty feet around was clawed
and kicked into a cloud that filed the
air. Folks looked out of the windows
and howled to see the fun. And when
Ragbag Te-entered the house with his
clothes torn, ear chewed and eyes
blacked, and explained That he had been
playing his joke, his wife was more than
ever convinced that he was an old dom
key, and told him So Somehow, humor
is at times fearfully discouraged in this
country. Boston Post.

LIFE INSURANCE 4MONG MER-
CHANTS.

The general plan of life insurance
adopted in the New York Produce Elk
change embodies the following:
Upon the death OF any member the
other subscribers are each to be as
sessed So. Upon every death within
the first year the heirs are to receive
81, 900, within the second year 8, 900,
third year $4,000. fourth year So, 600,
fifth year $4,000. sixth year $1,000. sew
enth year s., 900, eighth year 50, 900,
ninth year and thereafter Sl00 BY
this means the gratuity fund, with in
terest at per cent, at the end of the
first year would be S21S, 400, which, it is
estimated, would increase until it had
attained at the end of the tenth year
81, OS9, 565. When the gratuity fund
amounts to such sum that the undi-
vided interest of each subscribing
member is $500, the further increase of
the funds is to be applied to the redqc-
ton of assessm ents. The amount to be
paid to the heirs ofmembers is to be paid
free from all debts, charges or demands
whatsoever.
Should member die leaving a widow
but no children, the entire sum is to be
paid to the widow should there be
widow and children, one-half is to be
paid to the widow and the rest equally
divided among the children. If there
be children and no widow, then the en-
tire sum is to be paid to the children,
and in case of neither widow nor chill
dren the entire amount is to go to other
heirs. The management and distribu.
ton of the gratuity fund are to be
under the charge of Board of Trus-
tees.
