TIL, Colonel IS not an early riser and shortly after
seven O'Clock the next morning his slumbcrs were
| iudely disturbed by shouts and yells the SOUND OF
mighty blows cries Of Murder I'm killed I'm killed
Pm killed p and similar unseemly noises. He rushed
to the window Of his that overlooked the lawn,
and Their. spectacle met his agitated eyes that made
! his curly hair stand on end. The "chappes' were
| doing up his pestlierous Swed> with a vengeance
They had Knocked his gigantic body to the ground, had
thumped and banged and kicked It into Jelly,
and despite the Colonel's protesting cries
they picked up the huge, inanlmato mass and slid 1t
into the fountain
Colonel Fellows hurried to the rescue, and when
he and his coachmen had shed out the swede and laid
him at full length upon the grass to dry he looked
about for the ruAians But they were gone. They
had appropriated his neighbours row boat and only
faint glimpse Of them could now be caught far out
upon the bay.
A few weeks afterwald when he had settled up for
fhe row boat and had paid the first lnstalment Of the
Door swedes hospital bill, he CHANGED TO meet BLY,
| Irving and his white bull pup.
d" BLY, he sald that nice trick you played

"whenla said Billy.
"why, when you sent those villains down TO my
place on Long Island"
ivy, wot's de matter, Colonel! Didn't dey do
de bloke up!'
But didn't start out upon my Talk simply to tell
stories for have useful things to say One
Is that that insurance bill, to which public attention
was called in this column last week. has been purged
Of all the four Objectionable features which we're
particularly mentioned and will now be offered In the
Legislature in such shape as to commend itself as
well to the merchants of this city to the insurance
companies. II is particularly to the credit of Super
intendent Maxwell and Judge Ruggles that they re-
! sponded promptly and gracously to The IRiBUSEs
warning. They sensitive at any intimation that
they would lend themselves TO measure hostile TO
the proper and Just interests Of the merchants of New
York. and certainly their quick recession from an
attitude into which they probably miSled gives
substantial proof that they would not do So i UNI
detstand that their support of the mlschevou' bill
was given upon erroneous representations. in lis
present shape It gives moro than a rightfu pro
lection to tho companies that have complied with
our State laws
Speaking OF insurance matters interesting state

broker OF New York ard Park Commissioner of Brook

Nr Kenncdy asked great Chicago lawyer whom
he CHANGED SIT beside at dinner night, If h had

There's an imp ession IN the East said Mr.. Ken
nedy that Judge Gresham IL not thoroughly loyal
Republican. His nosles friends there the partys
noisest foes
He can't help that answered the politician,
,houLh he considers It unfortunate. No, he IS

How would Depew dor

nation That would settle It at once, for we must
have man who can carry New-YOrk OF course,
his corporation connections would probably hurt him
In the Northwest But If It could be said under
