Insurance Commissioner Merrill of
Massachusetts, has issued an interest
ing report on the assessment endow
ment orders. The short term orders,
six months and one year, are the ones
that are in the worst mess. Ten of
these are covered by the report. Of
these the seven best have paid in the
last six months $50, 294 in sick bene-
fits and 81 ,O21, 1924 on matured GER
tificates, and their running expenses
while doing it haze been $49S Ola.
One of them, the Golden Grail, has
overdue and unpaid claims of $2O7,
900 without dollar in the treasury
according to its own report. Anoth-
er, the Friendly Aid Society, has ma
tured claims of $237,775 with only
$4,000 on hand The others are
not yet staggering quite so badly,
but the figures only need to be sum-
married to see how sure the end is.
They have only made beginning OF
paying, though the money is so near
ly exhausted in several cases. They
have only paid off IS, 341 certificate
holders, and there are S5,422 to be
paid within the next 2 months with
claims aggregating SO, 2S1 1925. AL
ready in some of the concerns mem
bers have had to pay back Sis to
get 500, simply because the earlier
ones got it for so much less. And the
discrepancy is one that is bound to
increase fast Brattleboro Reformer.

A PECULIAR VA RN.

The Montreal Star says that a
singular creature, residing near Iras-
burg, this state, has allowed no
human being to look upon her during
the day for nearly 40 years. Her
name is Ann Dennis and she is said to
have been the daughter Of well-to-
do farmer. She took up her singular
mode of life after the death Of her
mother, whom she accidentally killed
by an overdose of some opiate.
She lives in a small, substantial, one
room cabin, about six miles from
town, and remains tightly shut up
during the day and ventures out
only on the darkest nights, when she
will walk into town and transact
such business as she may have, but
cannot be induced to enter a room
lighted up, save very dimly, and then
only when thickly yelled. Those
who remember her in her youth say
that she was an unusually pretty, at
tractive girl and we'll educated. She
lives quite alone, with nothing living
to keep her company.

JAY GOULD ALSO A COAL KING.

Railroads and telegraphs are sup
posed to be Gould's fancies; as a
matter of fact, however, statistics
show that he is a great American
coal king. Mr.. Gould has never
cared to be known as the boss of the
coal trade, yet such, beyond doubt,
he is. What sequel that would
have been to the attempts Of GER
tain dashing promoter to get Mr..
Gould to go into the ice business, if
the efforts had been found success.
The same little man, so nervous that
he can't sleep without drinking
warm milk, hating certain people
with an absolute detestation and
physical adherence, loving few, if
any, outside of those of his own
family, holding the kilograms of this
country absolutely by right of OWN
ership and control, making himself
master of our births and deaths, and
joys and sorrows, controlling inter
continental transportation and in
terstate commerce, so that a man
may travel anywhere by rail with
out leaving the Gould system, abso-
lutely debating the quantity and
quality of the coal which we burn,
and, what's more to the point, the
price we shall pay for it,-this same
man would, i'll that event, boss tbs
cooling of our champagne, the frozen
delights of our juleps, the preserva-
ton of our food, and even the meagre
fragments of frozen solace which are
laid to the brow of the midsummer
sufferer, A little more reaching out,
a little more absorption, little more
utilization, and such man would be
the king of the United States in a far
truer sense than most crowned
sovereigns abroad govern. The
records show that Jay Gould owns
more coal land than any other Ameri-
can citizen. The names in which he
owns it are those of the Missouri
Pacific railroad, Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad, Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad, Delaware &
Lackawanna railway, Union Pacific
Coal company, and Rich Hill Coal
company All the coal lands in the
Indian territory are said to belong
to Mr. Could New York World.

BIRTHDAY W1LLED TO MISS IDE

The distinguished author, Robert
Louis Stevenson, has his home in the
mountains of Samoa and Hon.
Henry c. Ide, now land commission
er at Samoa, has there made his
acquaintance. 1t having become
known to Mr. Stevenson that the
birthday Of one of Mr.. Ide's daugh-
tiers, Miss Annie H. Ide, fell on Christ
mas day, and that she was to her
great grief deprived of one holiday
every year, Mr.. Stevenson decided
to will his own birthday, Nov. 13,
to the young lady, and executed the
following unique instrument. 1t
should be stated in explanation
that Mr.. Stevenson is a registered
member of the Scottish Bar, and has
the degree of a civil engineer, al
though authorship is his sole oc-
cupa ton, and that his home in
Samoa is called "Vailima." Below
is a copy of the will:
l, Robert Louis Stevenson, advocate of
the Scots Bar, author of "The Master
of Ballantrae" and Moral Emblems, y
civil engineer, sole owner and patentee
of the palace and plantation known as
Vailima in the island of Upolu, Samoa,
a British subject, being in sound mind
and pretty we'll 1 thank you in body;
In consideration that Miss A. H. Ide,
daughter of H. c. Ide, in the town of ST..
Johnsbury, in the county of Caledonia
in the State of Vermont, United States
of America, was born, out of all reason,
upon Christmas day, and is therefore,
out of all justice, denied the consolation
and profit of a proper birthday;
And considering that l. the said Robert
Louis Stevenson, have attained an
age when O, we never mention it, and
that l have now no further use for a
birthday of any description
And in consideration that l have met
H. c. Ide, the father of the said A. H.
Ide, and found him about as white a
land commissioner as l require;
Have transferred and do hereby trans
fer to the said A. H. Ide, all and whole
my rights and privileges in the thirteenth
day of November, formerly my birthday,
now, hereby, and henceforth, the birth
day of the said A. H. Ide, to have, hold
airy manner, by the sporting of fine raj
ment, eating of rich meats and receipt of
gifts, compliments and copies of verses
according to the manner of our ances-
tors;
And I direct the said A. H Ide to add
to her said name of Annie H. Ide the
name Louisa-at least in private; and l
charge her to use my said birthday with
moderation and humanity, ''et tam
guam bona filiafamilia," the birthday,
not being so young as 1 once was and
having carried me in very satisfactory
manner since l can renemb Der;
And in case the said A. H. Ide shall
neglect or contravene either of the above
conditions, hereby revoke the donation
and transfer my rights in the said birth
day to the President of the United States
of America for the time being;
In witness whereof l hereto set my
hand and seal this nineteenth day of June
in the year of grace eighteen hundred and
ninety-One.

The Colored People Interested.

Tho colored people are manifcsting
considerable interest in the matter of
delegates from this Congressional dis

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. A

Now it came to pass about the
end Of the fifth month that great
multitude Of candidates multiplied
upon the face Of the earth.
And each man desired to take
unto himself an Office. And every
one, both great and small, was
willing 10 accept, even the highest
office in the land.
And they lifted up their voices
and said, "As our fathers done,
even 30 do we; were they not wise
in their day aud generation
Now why should we not follow in
their foot steps? We will perpetu-
ate this system and hand it down,
yea hand it down even unim-
paired.
But the wise men answered and
said unto them: "Go to; thy
fathers day and generation hath
become a back number; we are
dealing now with the current is.
sues. Behold all is changed and
in our day and generation we
must tumble to the racket Of
present requirements. "
And when the wise men had
thus spoken the others gathered
themselves up and each man shook
his head and they went their way,
every man unto his own home.
