COUNSEL TO MEN OF LARGE AFFAIRS.

During such period Of financial disturbance the
present, you find IL necessary to concentrate all your
talents and energies the management OF your affairs
You cannot safely delegate the work to another.
At this time any else no matter what his ability
would be unable successfully conduct your business
protect your investments, we'll you
But there is that you may at any moment
be FORCED thus to turn your affairs to the manage
ment of another-namey, in the event of your death
Remember that executors often think more about
avoiding risks and protecting themselves than of carry
ing out the spirit of the tesators views They gener-
ally lack experience in the business they trying to
wind up.
This inexperence and possible lack of interest may
ten fifteen per cent of the value of your estate
or more
You cannot but recognize the truth of this statement;
nevertheless you guard against this loss by assuring
your life for the amount which in your judgment your
executors would waste in winding up your estate.

living expenses pay from your income the premium on
policy for $50 900 or 100000 issued by the strongest
financial institution of its kind in the world the Equta
bic Life Assurance Society of the United States 100
Broadway, New York
If you then chance to die, your executor will be
INSTANTLY in the possession of $4,000 100000 Of
CASH IN HAND; and ready money will have FoURFOLD
value if DEATH COMES
On the other hand if you live, and take your assu
rance for exampe on the twentyyear Tontinc Endow-
ment plan you will reap rich reward on ma
turity of the policy
The following is an illustration of one out of many
such policies maturing in 1898:

Esit 'E.:si Again, Judge.

In a late number Of the Daily Call,
/ Judge Boland thus discourSes upon the
subject of tree planting. There being
10 politics in this subject the Judges
head is entirely leYel, and we trust his
| earnest appeal may bear al abundant
harvest. He says:
What is the Land & River Improve
ment company doing about planting
trees: W e heard good deal said upon
this subject few weeks ago, before
! tree planting time arrived in this
climate, but very little is said lately.
Now if this company, the Consolidated
Land Company, and the South Superior
Improvement Company, holding as
they DO a majority of the real estate of
this city, do not take hold Of this
matter, they ought TO be greatly cen
sured by the people and the press.
How can they expect to have a fine
city here, beautiful city that VIII en-
tice people to come here and settle III
our midst, or sell their building lots
unless they make the place desirable
spot to locate in?
There seems to be more backward
ness upon this matter than upon any
question that has come before the peO-
lle Of this city. And even the author
tiles will not take hold of 1t. There
should pc stringent laws passed to
make people plant shade trees or en-
ter into contracts to plant them, be
fore building permits are granted
them.
The city and corporations viii unite
in paving streets, building sidewalks,
condemning land for boulevards, and
dong other work towards making
this city desirable place to live in,
but not one move will they make to
wards planting shade trees, one of the
most essential features of Il city.

4 Superstition AbGu.trecs.

The imaginative and poetic Japan
ese, under whose almost every act lies
hidden some symbolic meaning, have a
most curious superstition with regard
to old trees, which they worship.
Ancient trees are believed to have a
soul like men and gods, granted on
account of their great age; and they
are believed to be endowed with power
of interceSsion for those in trouble
Hence the unfortunate seek shelter
under them and pour out their woes to
the syIlpathetic spirit. This explains
the weird trees 50 often seen in the
choicest production Of the japanese
artist. There is a legend that when
the lord Yamato wishes to furnish his
house completely from the trunk of the
finest cedar i'll his park, the axes of
the woodman bounded from the bark
and large drops of blood flowed from
every stroke-From a japanese
Floral Calendar" in Dcmorcst's

The New Fish Law.

Each succeeding Legislature has to
change in some respect, the fish laws
of this state, 50 that the sportsman
never knows when he is violating the
law. For nearly a month the law as
it pertains to trout fishing has been
violated daily, yet no doubt ignorant
ly as tine law has but now just been
published and the people informed of
its requirements. As it now stands, it
will be lawful to catch trout from
May Ist to Sept lst, and bass and pike
from June LIST to Jan LIST 1t opens to
public fishing all streams stocked from
the state hatchery and allows no prose
cutlon for treSpaSS against persons Ell
tering on land to fish provided they
cause no wanton damage to growing
crops or other property. Expectation
of fish caught i'll public waters of the
state is forbidden; but this does not
preclude the breeding and sale Of fish
aS a private business venture, bat al
packages of fish from such sources of
fered for shipment must be identified,
There must be no fishing with set lines
having more than one hook at any
time and no use of nets in any trout
streams, although the coarse fish, shin
ers, clubs, suckers, bull heads, etc,
may be taken with a dip-ntt at any
time or place with the above restric-
ton as to trout streams. This law APP
plies to inland waters of the state.
Sloughs opening into the river would
no doubt be regarded as part Of river.
BY same reasoning sloughs opening in
To an inland stream would be subject
to all provisions of the law which pro-
tects bass ana pike between January
LIST and June list.

prospects of the negroes who have en-
igrated thithcr from the United States.
y liberal piece of land IS allotted to

by the colonization society for
six months, by which time it
is expected that they will have
raised enough to be self-sup-

that they could not get rich at once,
and were expected to work for their
living, We're disappointed, and returned

to planting coffee, which, in a few
years, will yield them a fine income.

\ Shabby Procedure.

The Worlds Fair Committee OF
Management in having decided to
open the Worlds Fair on Sunday,
have written "knave" across their
own brows and thus branded are now
exhibiting themselves to the represen-
tatives of the world, at Chicago. The
government, by act of Congress, made
a very generous contribution i'll aid OF
the great show on the express under
standing and law enactment that if
the money was accepted the grounds
must be closed on Sunday. The nation
al committee fought the proposition
for weeks, but congress and the PEG
pie they represented were firm and
would not modify their terms. The
committee then accepted the money,
spent it on their works, and now, hold
an executive meeting, and III the IAN
guage of Jay Gould, says the people
and congress be damned, we have got
their money and now we Will run the
show to suit our own depraved ideas,
and that will be to throw the thing
wide open, to correspond with Mayor
IIarrison's city government. 1t Is
she shabbieSt ard most disgraceful
procedure ever adopted by any com
mittee of intelligent men, and it
should forever disgrace them i'll the
eyes of every true American. This
government is founded upon two
rocks One is the Sabbath and what
it teaches. The other is the Public
School and what it teaches. And It
was solely because OF this fact that
Congress and the country took the pos
ition it did on this Sunday opening
question Some of the congressman
who voted for that bill had and still
have but little regard for the Sabbath
day from private, personal stand
point, but they said that one Of the
fundamental principles Of this govern
ment was the maintenance Of the Sab
bath day, and that it would not do for
the government to publically ignore
its own principles. We might just as
well close our schools and say to our
visitors, we are a little ashamed Of
our school system, hence during your
stay with us you shall not be annoyed
by them. In the hope of making few
paltry dollars our Worlds Fair Man

principles, abused the nations conf
dence, debauched their manhood. and

Meaning of the Word ..Eithcr."

The legal meaning of the word
''cithcr' has been gravely argued IL
an English court of record A certain
testator had left property, the dis
petition of which was affected by the
death of either of two persons. One
lawyer insisted that either" meant
both, and III support of his views he
quoted Richardson, Webster, Chauccr,
Dryden, Southcy, the story of the
crucifiXion and a passage from
Revelations. The judge sug-
gestcd that there was song in The
Beggar,s Opera" which took another
view, How happy | could be with
either were t'other dear charmcr
away" In pronouucing Judgment the
court ruled that either meant one Of
the two, and did not mean both. He
said that it might have that meaning
occasionally in poetry, but never in an
English court of record.
