paid as a total loss, and the Court gave the

Indian Lore About Cyclones.

"People out West" observed Kan
sas Congressman, ''have learned a
number of things from the Indians, and
many of them are of value. Probably
the most valuable has been in the mat
ter of cyclones. We have learned that
whenever a city or town was built on
the site of IN old Indian settlement, it
has been free from any of the cyclones
which have now and them come along
in the Western country. How the In
dians were observant and smart enough
to select sites for settlement which
have always escaped cyclones is more
than we have been able to learn to
study or investigation, but the fact re-
mains that towns or cities on original
Indian settlements are cyclone-proof.
These towns which are located thus
fortunately use their Indian origin as
an advertisement and as guarantee
for settlement. Thus lots in an origi-
ma. Indian settlement town are sold for
q higher price and are in greater de-
mand than in towns laid out by white
men. 1t is rather rough on our intell-
igence, but tits dollars to pennies that
it is right. The cyclone insurance CON-
panies will insure policy on houses in
an Indian settlement town for one
third the prices they charge for similar
policies in other sections. They have
found that it pays them better to issue
the low-rate policies than other poll
cies at the higher rate. Washington

These little attentions are very dear

expected effect. When Queen Vic

ager Empress of Germany, left Eng

was at leaving the pretty pink room of
her girlhood in Windsor Castle. Her
mother had thought of this, and ar
ranged her daughters private room in
the German Castle exactly like the one
the young girl was leaving. To this
day, the ex-Empress chefishes every
little knick-knack that came from the
loving hands of her Royal mother that
day.
