Truth
Earth to Air.

A little worm on branch OF gray
Began his work one summer day.
He planned and built, he wove and spun,
Until his tiny house was done.
He laid the walls with leaf-grcen rails:
He set the roof with golden nails;
He wovc sheet OF softcst lace.
And in its folds himself found place.
He slept, and in the dark OF night
Upon his sides grew wings OF light
The shining house became veil,
And gone WAS every golden nail.
Through the thin walls OF gauze spied
The rainbow wings he had not tried.
They Graded close and folded tight
His velvet body, strong and light
On sped the hours till sleep was done,
Wide swung the doors TO lifes new sun.
He woke he lor2ed his wings 10 try,
And found himSeif-a butterfly.
No longer measuring slow his way.
No longer shut from light OF day,
He does not toll with creeping things.
But floats with birds on happy WINGS,
Dear symbol OF immortal years,
Thy lesson bauishcs our fears:
For We, when done with earthly things,
Shall find, like thee. our angel wings.

The Sparrow's God.

o, hearts that break DER all the world
o wronged and lonely ones that weep,
Take heart and think what He has said,
Who every promise made will keep:
Lo, !, who watch when Sparrows fan.
Thy sorrows know, know them all"
And when so long and dark the road
Yon faint, and hope and faith seem dead,
Look up, and blindly trusting, think
What He, who faileth not, has said:
To- l, who time the sparrow's fail.
Thy grefs will heal, will cal them ALL"

IS ITS CAPITAL IMPAIRED?
RumorS that the Assurance Lloyds
Company Is in Difficulties.
he Managers, Say the Company
VIII Not suspend.

1t was reported this morning that an
other insurance company. the Assurance
Lloyds, OF 81 and 63 William street,
which is ar offshoot of the American
Casualty and Security Insurance Com
pany, was in trouble. and that its capt
tai OF 10000 had been impaired to the
extent Of slliO0l.
This condition of affairs. it was stated,
had been revealed at a meeting of the
Governing Board held last Monday, at
which a report had been made by w.
d. Whiting, an expert. who had been
examining into the affairs of the Com
pany.
Beecher, Schenck & Co, who were the
manaGeTs Of the defunct American
Casualty Company, were also the agents
OF the Assurance Lloyds, which they had
organized about a year ago, and which
began business in January last.
,hdHe PeeunaIity OF the Lloyds system is
that the company is organized by a
certain number of subscribers. who con-
tribute the capital stock and then give a
power or attorney to a firm or Individual
them.
In this instance the business of the
company has been managed by Beecher,
S,chenck K Co., whose management Of
the American Casualty Company was so
severely criticised by Gen. Slocum in
his recent report.
Whiting, the statement made by Beechcr,
Schenck q Co. to the Lloyds Company
on Sept. 80 last, failed to include the
'!ncfeased gross premiums or cancel
Mr.. Whiting estimated 1t. and the out
standing liabilities were underestimated
to the extent Ct $1,000. Qthero claims
should have been included.
:Mr. Whiting figures II the condition
OF the Company as follows:

1925; interest, A,4S.55; a total Of s;936.-
SIS. IL. Expenditures amount to 1896. 1913. %.
an these with Liabilities. amounting to
the AMOUNT of over Slli,oco.
Col. II, b. Beecher, who is at the
head of the firm Of Bcecher. SChenck &
CO.. said this morning that, the figures
gwen were misleading, and that they
did not show the actual condition Of the
Company.
At the time the export was made, he
said. the guarantee fun was impaired to
the extent of 500, co, but since that time
premiums had been earned which re-
duced this TO less than $50, 900, and as the
Company was In no danger Of suspending
operations the deficiency would soon be
