Sues for the Insurance.

William H. Eustis, as attorney for
the ADMINISTRATIVE OF the estate of
Catherine Cling, has served notice on
the state insurance commissioner that
he has brought suit against the Tray
elers' Insurance company, to collect the
$500 accident policy taken out by Miss
cling and made payable to Hayward.
The comopany has just decided to con,
test the payment of the policy, and
nothing remains but to bring suit for
the amount. 1t is thought that the De
fense will be made on the ground that
there was fraud in taking out the pol
icy. though the point on which this
claim can be made does not appear.

Deer Arc Foolish.

Three deer jumped on the railway

of a locomotive near Trout Lake,

til they were struck by the pilot and
tossed from the track. Instances of a
single deer being thus attracted by a
locomotive headlight and falling VIC
tim to it's curiosity are not uncommon
in Michigan, Maine and other regions
where deer abound, but for Il trio of
the animals to be hypnotiZed in this

before the scholar is born, he said, in intro
duction.

old plan of memoriZing Scriptural quota
tions He discussed the environment OF the
scholar and the necessity for an encourage
ing helpful home. He anticipated CO.
lucrative study of the lesson by father.
mother and child, and urged an uninter-
rupted service, not a series of experiments
with new hymns before the lesson was
taught He thought that an hour of praise
and devotion for the confession of sin and a
plea for divine help is a fitting preparation
for the study of the lesson.

bian University, continued the discussion
with statement of the preparation of the
teacher DIR. Whitman determined five
points for the preparation Of the teacher,
the preparation of his body by enough sleep
and avoidance of late Saturday nights: then
