Some Dincuities In the Way Of Their
Realizing Of Benefits.
A woman who IN by no means strong
minded, in its unpleasant, popular acoepta-
tion, was talking to some friends the other
day.
II wonder" she said, "if It will surprise
you as much as 1t did me TO find that wom-

1.-Two points are advanced in explana
ton Of this course. In the first place, IL |,
presumed that accident insurance is only
for people who are deprived of whole OF
part Of their income because of injury re
ceived, and 1t is also presumed that WON

But II isn't SO. Any man is eligible
even II he never earned a cent and neve
will. Then, too it certainly ought to b.
the case that woman who does earn he

GERMANY and Russia are anything
but free trade countries, and Just now
are playing the high tariff racket on
each other. Russia saw the German
grain crops would DO short, so she
put a heavy export duty on her wheat
and rye. This angered Germany, who
replied by at once increasing the tariff
on all importations from Russia by 50
per cent. Russia has proved equal TO
the occa sion, however, and now puts
an increase OF so per cent. on all goods
imported from Germany.
