The question of moral hazard receives
more attention from the life insurance
companies than is generally supposed.
Every person applying for Il policy has his
record and modes of life thoroughly look.
ed up by two or three mercantile agencies,
and If there is anything that will not pass
muster he finds his application rejected.
Men whom the general community look
upon rs models have found themselves I'M
able to get insurance because of practices
which they thought hidden from the light
of day, but which thesharp eyed detectives
discovered.
After man has passed this ordeal,
however, the company should honestly as
sumo the burden of the risk for good or i'll
and not try to throw the party over il it
becomes impaired and likely TO prove loss
to the company. Yet this is said to be
just what the big life companies do. They
divide the country up in sections, over
each Of which is placed n man--nominally
an inspector, really IA detective-whose
business it Is to transmit information re
garding the physical character Of the par
ties insured by his company. When he
meets policy holder who Is in shaky
health and whom he considers bad risk,
he notifies the home Office, and, curiously
enough, this party gets no notice when his
premium is due.
OF course the object is to have the policy
lapse from the omission of tho assured to
pay the premium, and naturally, depend
ing upon the notice from the company's
office, he will be very apt to forget that

have lived before. Where? That cannot
tell,
Nor how, nor when. OF those forgotten years
Only vague echoes from the darkness swell,
Bringing familiar murmurs to my ears.
The ghostly image of that misty past
Enfolds me like IA shadow, and my sense
Strives all In vain TO grasp and hold II fast.
Only In me is memory's evidence.
All human language feeble is and cold,
To paint the fleeting visions that arise,
Beguiling me with memories of old,
OF other lives passed under other skies.
And still the echoes ring; the voices call
In wild confusion, like crowd of dreams
Then twilight shadows. dark and darker, fall,
Till not ray through the dense blackness
CLEANS.
But still again vague, melodious song,
With scattered, broken measures fills the
air,
And shadowy forms, in shadowy distance,
throng,
Wrapt in the sable mantle of despair.
My soul mounts upward into loftier spheres,
Where, beyond boundaries of time and
space,
lived and loved before these earthly years
Chained me, in exile, In my present place
see, in fieeting rays of heavenly light,
The glory of "A distant paradise.
Then all is overwhelmed by starless night;
My anxious questonings meet no replies.
Heavy my heart with memories of old.
My power to live and strive is overcast
By wild desire the mystery to unfold
Which binds my present to that vanished
past.
This is my heritage of sorrow now.
That yelled and unknown form which once
| wore.
cannot fathom when nor where nor how,
l only know that have lived before.

1--WE often played draw poker to while
away the hours in the trenches before
Vicksburg," said the old soldier. ~ shall
never forget one game witnessed. There
were but two players engaged, one of them
being n mere boy, while the other was n
man who had acquired the reputation of
being tricky at cards. This gambler had
1eeced the boy repeatedly, and every one
considered the lad foolish to play with
him.
az was looking over the young fellows
shoulder and saw him hold up three
deuces, drawing two cards. The gambler
took three cards, which indicated he only
held pair to start with. The boy did not
better his hand, and | saw the other man,
