enough for child to wear in her own

might be.
'''She was emaciated. 1 took my thumb

little girl OF twelve anywhere; her arms
were simply skin and bone. | talked
with the child for the purpose of finding
out the reasons why she was in that con-
dition.

she had never talked with an insurance
agent but she found the insurance book
between the leaves of the Bible, where so
many. poor people have hidden it to my
knowledge. She had father and step
mother, and in the course of the CONVEX
sation. having learned of this fact about
the life insurance and other acts. 1t
seemed to us that petition for the re-
moval of the child was warranted. There

brought the matter before the court.

Boston. 1t is one of the poorest steets in
the neighborhood in that part of our
city. In one house found twenty three
children who are OF have been insured.
On that street there are about one hun
dred and seventy-ive families, and niue
tenths OF those people are insured, and
those people are insured as well in the
John Hancock as in the Metropolitan
company. Those people are certainly
people of the slums. 1t is the people OF
the slums who insure their children. 1t
is the people who drink who are the most
ready to pay the small doles on the lives
of their children. and those are the fami-
lies where the chilren are not welcome;
those are the families where children are

the foregoing subject in the M. E. church
Rapid City on Monday evening Apr.
20 was we'll attended and listened to
with great interest by all present. The
lecturer is pleasing and forcible speaker
and presented his subject in a practical
manner; many Of the audience expected
a discourse on the political problemns
of the day but the speaker stated in the
commencement that he would not dis
cuss the topic in that light but would
press upon the attention OF the hearers
the fact that the people OF each class in
society generally looked upon those
that had achieved distinction in their
respective occupations as approaching
arristocracy but those philanthropic
persons who gave freely Of their time
and means for the elevation Of man.
Kind were considered the ideal aris-
tocracy by the masses Of the people.

many more are daily coming in.

the great boom at thrt place. There are

Dog Whips Catamount.

There was an exciting fight last
night between Tige, brindle bulldog,
owned by Portsmouth man, and a
catamount, owned by aBracken Coun
ty (Ky.) farmer.
The scene was in barn near La
tonia Springs and the amount bet was
800. The announcement of the fight
drew crowd of about 200 people
from this city and across the river.
The catamount was confined in a
cage about twelve feet long and six
wide in the center of the barn. The
catamount was driven to one end of
the cage and then the Dig was thrown
in. At first neither made move.
The dog, after cycling tho cata-
mount some moments, finally jumped
at it and secure o hold on its neck.
This started the fight on in earnest
and both fought viciously.
Several times the catamount shook
the dog off, but finally the brindle
fastened its fangs in tho catamount's
neck and held ON. After u ten min
utes' struggle tho catamount sue
cumbed and was taken out of the cage,
dead. The dog was badly scratched
about the head, but hot seriously
hurt.
The result was not what tho sports
had expected, and considerable money
was lost. Many thought the cata'
mount would make short work of the
dog, and were disappointed, as it only
acted .on the defensive. The dog
weighed thirty-two pounds and the
catamount twenty-five pounds. --.Cin.

Mustaches Prescribed.

It is the rule at tho well-known
banking house of Coutts q Co., Strand,
London, that none of the bank clerks
are to wear mustaches, and it has long
been considered point Of business
etiquette that all the gentlemen en-
ployed at the bank should wear frock
coats during business hours. A clerk
ship o. Messrs Coutts's is considered
one of the prizes in the banking pro-
fession.
Some of the men are university
graduates, many have been educated
at one of the great public schools,
while several nave been called to the
English bar. Some years ago an at
tempt was made to have the unwiitten
law regarding mustaches rescinded.
but it was found that q greater num-
ber preferred TIL a custom to re-
main in force than were in favor OF
it's abolition.
This curious custom is also said to
prevail in some of the large tea houses
of the city, while it is we'll known
that some Church of England bishops
prefer the curates under their charge
to be clean shaven. A la1~ who tried
about three years ago to enforce
shaven face on the groom in ber en-
ployment, and dismissed him aS once
because he refused compli.-. ae with
order, found that the law gave her
no such power, and was mulcted in
f5 for wrongful dismissal and the
costs of the action by the Judge of the
