a TlCKLISH QUESTION.
How Some Women Dodge When E
amined for Life insurance.

Row some Women Dodge When Elk
amined for Life insurance.
From the Washington Star.
A doctor making examinations for a big
insurance company sat chewing the end of
his penholder while he waited for a fair
applicant for a policy to answer bis last
question. He had been waiting a long time
and the fair one was still blushing and
stammer1ng over the answer. All the ques-
uons as to her ancestry, what her parents
ana grandparents had died of, the diseases
she had herself suffered with from
time to time-from cholera infantum
TO chicken pox-ss TO her general
state of health, her habits and
her physical characteristics or peculiaritis s
all these she had answered promptly aud
with some vivacitv; but in this last dues-
ton the doctor had gone Just beyond the
line or dellcacy, and she was cruelty en-
barrassed. At first flash of indignation
shot into her eyes. This was followed by a
blush OF shame. She lost the power of
speech for moment and her eyes were
turned down. while her dainty pointed
toed shoe nervously pounded the carpet
why, doctor" she gasped, "I-I-I-T-
DON'T don't. Now, really. doctor, it's"-
Then she paused and hlushed. She twisted
and tugged at her finger nervously for a
moment and then took off a ring. This
was given me on my 9th birthday. That
must have been ten years sgo-almost that.
That's it, doctor; am 30. About that,
really-yes, 30"
The doctor bent his head low over his
desk and began moving his pen over the
paper before him, but there was no ink on it,
and his hand shook in a convulsive sort of
way.
u He then turned and said something in an
undertone to the lady, which greatly agi-
tated her. After waiting for a moment ne
reSolutely dipped his pen in the ink, re-
marking:
at is at your own risk
The Ieky checked him and talked for a
few moments in an undertone, all the while
looking around nervously to see if any one
was listening at the key hole or had entered
the room.
"Ah, said the doctor. and he turned and
wrote ''49' on the application for policy.
A little while after the lady had gone the
doctor was feeling Star reporters pulse.
AS be closed his watch be shook his head
solemnly, and the least bit Of sign. which
sounded like commiseration, escaped his
lips.
"What, is it so bad 2" asked the reporter,
with some anxiety.
Dreadful he replied, running his
fingers through his hair YEARLY.

Monroe Township Was Solid.
From the Wy1shin0ton Post

When the late Joseph E. Mcdonald &C.
cepted the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor of Indiapa in 1864 he had no hope that
he would be elected. He ran because it was
necessary for some one to do so in order to
maintain the party organization, aud it was
thought that he was the least obnoxious
candidate who could be named against Gov.
Morton. The two were personal friends
and made their canvass together 1t was war
times, and party feeling ran very high. An
incident that occurred IN Delaware, nv
county, will illustrate.
That county was and is heavily repub-
lican. Monroe township, which lies di
rectly south Of and contiguous to Center
the township in which the county seat is
situated, was counted on for solid repub-
lican vote. But as the day Of election drew
on 1t was rumored about that two men, new
corners, but entitled to cast their ballots in
that township, intended TO vote the demo-
cratic ticket This rumor had a disturbing
effect upon the public mind Of that town.
ship The two men who were suspected had
but little to say and kept away from the
nelghboring gatherings.
The all-important day came without the
occurrence of breach of the peace. and
nearly every voter of Monroe township was
at the polls early. Among them was old
Andy Gibson, past so years OF age, but
noted rough-and-tumble fighter, the cham
pion of all the region. He hadn't much to
sayI but determined look appeared very
much at home on his rugged features.
men put in an appearance He stopped be-
fore he got to the polls, apparently to note
how the land lay. He soon found out. Old
Andy walked over TO him.
LOOK here" he said, 81 understand you
are a.goin' to vote the democratic ticket.
It's all right; you kin vote it if you want
to, and nobody shan't hinder you. We're
a-goin' to have a free and fair election here
to-day, ana if you want to vote for the
nobodyll stop you. But" old Andy con-
tinued impressively, shaking his huge fist in
the suspects face, but il you do vote III
maui the face of OF you"
There was a solid republican vote in Mon
roe township that day.

R. s. HUNToN, one Of the leading mine
owners of Colorado, says that electricity opens
up new era in the production of silver. The
reason Of this statement is that many OF the
high mountains have been almost valueess, be-
cause of the expense of Transporting fuel TO
them. Now, through the utilization of water
powers with the electric motor, these mines
can be operated cheaply. and a notable increase
