No Meeting Held Yesterday as the
President Remained at Woodley.

Washington, Nov, 27.-The cabinet meet

Insurance companies are beginning
to find out what the rest of us have
known for a long time-that few peo-
pie have better prospects of long life
than the confirmed invalid, who is just
sick enough to take Ire of himself.
He chooses the most wholesome places
to live in, he eats strictly to live, in
stead of following the universal but
dangerous practice of eating for the
fun of it, he avoids over-exertion as
scrupulously as a tramp, and humane
friends and relations protect him from
the wearing cares responsible formany
a premature death. Under this system
he may not get as much out of life as
more robust people: but his chances OF
leaving it are considerably less.
Yet gilt edged risks like this have for
years been turned away from insur-
ance offices, while reckless men and
women who have never found out that
they had vital organs to take care OF
get life insurance at the lowest pos
sibie rates. An insurance syndicate
which would advertise to take life
risks refused by ordinary companies
would not only achieve instantaneous
fame, but would get richer every year
on the premiums of its long lived
patrons.

INDIANS LOVE GAMBLING.
They VIII Bet Big Sums, Even On Il
Death Of q Friend.

They VIII Bet Big Sums, Even On ths
Death Of = Friend.
The gambling instinct among Indi-
ans seems rather to be increased than
otherwise by civilization and more than
one Cherokee who drew at Tahlequah
recently for himself, his wife and his
children quite a large sum Of money in
full discharge of his personal interest
in the Cherokee strip came near losing
every dollar of it before returning
home. One day when the distribution
was exceptionally heavy two very spec
ulative recipients were standing to-
gether near the post office. A boy was
seen coming along the street o =
bucking pony. For so young a boy he
held his sea- well, but it seemed es-
ceeding probable to the onlookers that
before he got the pony home he would
either be thrown or would have TO get
of. The two Indians discussed the
proposition with much excitement, and
finally one man bet the other the en-
tire government per capita that the
hoy would be thrown before he got
past them.
The bet vas accepted with vicious
eagerness, and as they watched the
antics of the pony as it whirled round,
bucked, sat down on its launches, and
did everything else that was ever
known to a trick horse, they almost
came to blows in the excitement Of
their argument. Finally the horse.
despairing of any other mea of get
ting rid of its rider, leaped in the air
and fell on its side, knocking half the
life out of the boy, and then rolling
completely v him. An alteration,
of course, followed as to which had
won the bet. The plucky boy hung on
to the horn of his saddle, although ap-
parently fatally injured. He neither
fell off nor got off, but was lifted of
the furious animal by half a dozen men
who rushed quickly to the rescue. Ef-
forts were made to quiet the two In
dians, and the suggestion that the bet
be declared off was freely made. As
each man declined to pay the other,
this wa the final outcome of the af-
fair; but the wagering of such a COM
p~aratively large sum over such an in
significant event shows that specula-
ton will always be more or less pop
ular with the average Indian.--St.

The sugar growers haveentered suit
