ALLIANCE INSURANCE.

Mr.. EDTroR:--Perhaps a few remarks in
regard TO the Insurance department Of the
Farmers Alliance would be Of interest to
your many readers. At the annual meeting
held at Newton last August plan was
adopted whereby the farmers might obtain
cheap and safe insurance.
The State Alliance adopted the mutual
plan which will save TO the farmers of Kan
sas over one million dollars. As nothing
but farm property is insured the risk will be
comparatively small, and corespondingly
cheap while it is the safest in existence
better than If the money was in tho bank or
loaned on U. s. bonds; for the bonds might
burn, or the treasurer take n trip TO
CANADA and take the funds with him.

The House % Woman Built.

II Is seldom that a woman plans and
erects a house precisely according to
her OWL ideas. Some five years ago.
however, a foolhardy Bridgeport mar
gave his wife full permission to plan
and build a house as she wanted il.
Then he went away to South America,
and was gone a year. When he came
back she ushered him into n dwelling
consisting Of a parlor, kitchen, bed.
o and twenty-eight closets. In each
closet there were several shelves and
upward Of four dozen hooks. Still,
when the Bridgeport man retired that
night he left his clothes piled on IA chair.
And he did not complain until the next
morning after breakfast, when his wife
met him with a board oil II dry goods
box, a dozen nails and n flatiron, and
asked him il he couldn't put up an.
other shelf in that small closet which
opened off the large front closet.
His left thumb was still sore from
putting up a shelf before he went to
South America. He seized his hat and
started downtown, and as he went out
he noticed hooks on the outside Of
the front door for the morning milk
man to hang his wares on, and
other hooks on the front gate
ON which distributors of alvertising
matter might suspend their literary eff.
forts. A week later this house was
burned down under suspicious circum
stances, but though the Bridgeport
man offered a remarkably large reward
for the discovery Of the incendiary,
nothing ever came it.-New York
