SANTA MONICA.

The board of trustees at their last
meeting rescinded the license on insur-
ance companies, when MIR. w. S. Duwal,
general manager of the Pacific Insurance
union, who was present, took off the 20
per cent tax which was added to the
rate at the time the license was placed
on the companies. Mr.. A. Mooser has
worked assiduously for some time to
have an amicable agreement, which bore
its fruit last evening. The board OF
trustees showed conclusively that they
wished to do anything they could to
tighten the burdens of our property
holders. Mr.. T.. E. Walsh of the New
Zealand Insurance company also did
considerable work in smoothing the
matter over, and our citizens owe at
least vote of thanks to Messrs. Mooser,
Walsh and the trustees. And it proves
the insurance union are fair minded.
Messrs. Jones and Baker have decided

Sos' doZin' like. the time away.
An thinkin' OF face-bht here
I'll stop right short, fer don't keer
To open up lonesome heart
Wot's ben long closed. an kind o. start
These weak old eyes TO leak again
Because az three score years an ten.
A feller'd better look ahead
An let the buried past stay dead
But--then again--it seems, you know
To pore lonely chap ez though
He couldn't keep his thoughts away
F'om wand'rin back TO some lost day,
An strayin' through the sun-iit aisles
o. long ago, at, miles on miles,
Stretch their beckonin' CLEANS o. light
To sort o.checr the gloom o. night
wot settles round Teller when
His almanick seq: Three score ten
An so. / take this bun'le up
An kind o. III my ole hearts cup
Tel ~ slops DER an pears 70 float
A lump o. sumthin' 20 my throat
AZ sticks right there. intel soft tears
Washes II down the ien'th'nin' years
An so, / read her letters DER
The ones she writ 10 me aforc
Those faltrin' hans he'd got so weak.
An fore the roses in her check
Bowed TO the lellus lily's reign,
En- ez ! read them lines again,
I pear TO see a sad. sweet face
Cum rom the gloom. an on the place
Where I SIT al alone, to-day,
Jes' DORM like. the time away
IN. Y. World
