The HISTORIAN.

The African king Prester John never had
an existence.
There never was such a person as Pope
Joan. the so called female pontiff.
Portia did not swallow the burning Goals
The whole story was certainly an invention.
Francis |, after the battle of Pavia, did
not say 'All is lost save honor" The ex-
preston he used was entirely different.
The organ of the middle ages which, when
moved into the sunshine, played tunes Of
itself was play of the medieval fancy.
Seneca was not half Christian philos-
opher. but grasping money lender and
usurer, who died worth over Sl5,0O0,000.
The pharaoh of the Exodus was not
drowned in the Red sea. His mummy has
been found, the skull split by a battleax.
Caesar did not say "Et tn. Brute" Eye
witnesses to the assassination deposed that
'he died fighting, but silent, like wolf"
Alfred the Great did not visit the Danish
camp disguised rs minstrel. There Is no
good reason 70 believe that he could either
play the harp or speak Danish.
The luminous paintings said TO have been
common among the japanese 200 years ago
were luminous only in the imagination Of
the traveller who invented them.
Fair Rosamond was not poisoned by
Queen Eleanor, but after a long residence
as n nun in the convent of Gadstow died
greatly esteemed by her associates.
Philip Ill of Spain was not roasted to
death by a roaring fire because court eti-
quette forbade uny one TO go to his assist
ance. He died u natural death, and the
same story Is told Of dozen different mon
archs who were sticklers for ceremony
Tn hanging gardens Of Babylon did not
hang, nor were they gardens. They were
terraces supported by arches and over
grown with trees. They were erected for
the amusement Of n Bnbylonian queen who
had come from mountainous country

real estate mortgages recorded represenE
the wealth of insurance companiesG How
much Of the money used in gambling in
stocks and bonds comes from insurance
companies? How much Of the interest
annually paid on mortgages, bonds and
notes goes into the Golfers Of insurance
compsniesP Is it possible that the per-
sons managing insurance funds are SO
unlike other men that they would neg
lect an opportunity to manipulate" q
certain stock in order to increase the in
come Of their reserve fund, and thus re-
duce the rate, or, in other words, offer
larger odds? Under our present system
the concentration Of wealth is danger
GUS, and the danger is just as great
whether the wealth be in the hands Of q
single family or a corporation OF any
kind, business, insurance or religious,
Trinity church with it's $l5O,OOO,OOO is a
heavy burden to the inhabitants Of Man
haitian Island, for it charges just 8s
much rent for It's land Rs does any pri-
vate millionaire. And the hundreds of
millions of dollars owned by the large
insurance companies is just as great q
burden to the people Of the nation. In
sursnce companies never fail to get the
'golng" rate Of interest, and they are be-
coming controlling factors in the fnsn-
cial world. But it is enough to point
out this evil; any reader can elaborate
the subject.
Another evil is that the insurance bust
ness is a heavy drain on the productive
interests of the country. Think how
many insurance agents in the United
States are supported by the sale Of this
form of lottery ticket; and how many
state agents receive large incomes for in
ducing other persons to sell tickets. And
the Rdjusters are not starving in return
for their managerial" ability, consisting
mainly in managing to keep good, busi-
ness.like ratio between the tickets sold
and the tickets actually Dashed, or "fx-
ing" the "drawing" by the introduction
Of as many blanks Rs possible. Then
when we get to the general officers,
their salaries are often the highest paid
to any individuals for any kind Of ser
vice. Think Of retiring president on
pension of $4,000 per year for the rest
Of his life. Was ever such q munifcent
extravaganza practiced by any other cor
poration, or any republican governmentH
Fifty thousand dollars is all we can Rf-
ford to pay our president to manage all
the affairs of the nation, but $4,000 is
not an extravsgRnt stipend for the preSi-
dents of large insurance companies.
Then there are the multitude OF clerks,
travelling agents, printers, brokers, bank
era, advertisers and many other classes
Of assistants and hangers on, too numer-
GUS to mention. Consider all this ex-
pense, and think of the vast fortunes,
amounting, in many instances, to more
than s100,0OO,0OO, which have been
"saved" after paying all expenses, and
then say whether or not it is a drain and
a burden on all productive industry.
Then, again, it increases the cost Of
every article to the consumer, increases
the rent Of buildings, increases the ex-
pense of production to the manufsc-
turer, but decreases the price paid to the
producer OF wealth, because "insuranoe"
