INSURANCE on WOMEN.
They Think IT Hard That Policies VIII Not
be Issued to Them.


Since women in all grades of life have
so generally taken upon themselves the
responsibility Of becoming bread win
ners for themselves and any one who
may be dependent upon them, another
grievance under which they labor has
been found 10 press heavily upon their
shoulders, and an agitation has been be-
gun to have it removed with as little de-
lay as possible. Insurance companies are
charged with grossly and hagrantly dis
eliminating against her Many Of the
most reliable of them will not take a risk
upon her life upon any terms or condi-
tions whatever. Risks will be taken on
every conceivable thing in the universe
houses, stocks Of merchandise, standing
timber growing grain, even on horses
and dogs not on women.
For many of these faithful toilers life
insurance is the only possible method Of
making provision for dependent ones
when they themselves are no more, but
even this way is cftectually barred to
them by the inexorable rules Of the relia
bic companies not to take risks on the
lives Of women. a movement has been
in0ugurated TO do away with this dis
elimination. and either to compel the
present companies to amend their con-
stltutiOn and bylaws 50 that women
may be admitted TO the benefits Of their
enterprises, or to organize solid COM
pauy for the sole purpose of taking risks
on the lives Of women. Women have
o.. aao7ne far greater DIFFICULTIES than the
Organization Of such a company would
involve. They have successfully managed
far greater business enterprises than that
suggested, and if they once take it into
their heads TO do so the removal Of this
grievous discrimination viii take but
short time 10 effect.

Italian and Monkey.

There is one Italian in Brooklyn who is
rapidly becoming Americanized in his
methods, if mott his language, says the
New York Advertiser" He can be seen
daily boarding the bridge cars during the
busy hours.
He wears loose-ftting coat, which
bulges on the right side to perceptibie ex-
tent. AS soon as the train is started a
small gray head appears from the vicinity
Of the Italians vest, and a long arm fol
lows it. There is a pull at some ones coat,
a diminutive hat is raised, the monkey
smiles, the italian looks abstractedly
toward the statue Of Liberty, and the
crowd laughs.
Before the New York side IS reached the
monkey has gathered from twenty-five to
fifty cents from the easily amused crowd,
and the man and monkey take return
train.
MAKE my arm ache to work organ,
Brother he strong He worka da organ
Me and monk worka de bridge not so
hard. Y
And then the italian puts on his pensive,
far-away look, and prepares for another
haul of pennies and nickels.
