Fed sral Life Association of Daven=
port, Iowa.

Certain parties in this city have been
circulating reports detrimental to the
above company as regards to it's ability
to pay its losses, and that company's
state agent, Mr.. G. J. Carman, who
resides here has written the company's
secretary to that effect. He received a
reply October Sth, a copy of which is
hereto attached:
October 7th, 1897.
&c. J. Carman, Grand Rapids, Wis
My Dear Sir: | enclose you receipt for
John Parrish, in accordance with your
request. You can say to the calumny
howlers up there that the Federal has
money enough now Oh hand to pay all
losses for the next three years, and that
it will take more than wind pushers to
upset the Federal. We do not now
make a practice of paying claims until
they are due according to contract. We
have had enough of paying policy hold
ers before the insured are hardly cold
in death. Benefciaries will get their
money when due, bur not before. The
Federal will be alive and healthy when
Grand Rapids croakers are dead and
forgotten. With kind regards to the
folks, believe me as ever,
Your friend,
Z. Ii. WRI7COMB."
The above letter should set at rest
those who have gone out Of their way
10 do Mr.. Carman and his company an
injustice by circulating false reports
about that company's financial condi
ton.

AT DWIGHT PLACE CHURCH.
The Concert by the Temple Quartet of
 Boston.

l HS NoAtSlt ny IHS ISlllplS NudltS uL
 Boston.
 One of the most enjoyable events of the week will be the concert to be given in the Dwight Place church on Thurs day evening by the Temple male quar- tet of Boston,
 The origin of this quartet was the dedication of the Masonic Temple in Boston, thirty years ago, when a choir of twelve voices was gotten together of the prominent male singers of those days for that occasion, They also sang together on several occasions, but find ing it impossible to keep so large a body intact, four of them commenced rehearsing by themselves and decided to call it the Temple quartet. They sang at first only music for the Ma sonic degrees, but there was such a de- mand for them in concerts that they perfected themselves in that line of music and put themselves under the in- struction of Dudley Buck, the eminent composer.
 The quartet has been in existence ever since. and it is the oldest organi- zation of its kind in the country, if not in the world. The membership has changed entirely since it's formation although two of the original members were singing in it until five years ago. Since their retirement MT Webber, who had been with them for eleven years, has been their manager, and has seen to it that the traditional standard of excellence raised in the beginning has not been lowered.
 The quartet 70 Summer Night" which they will sing as one of their numbers, was written for them and will be sung from manuscript.
 Miss Ridgeway, who accompanies them as reciter, is pronounced the best lady reciter' on the platform, and the fact that this is her second year with them is of itself a strong recommenda- tion of her ability, as it has been their custom to change reciters each season.

A GIRLS SHREWD PLAN.
How She Finds Out n Mans True
Nature.

How She Finds Out a Mans True
Nature.
A captivating girl who carried a lor-
gnette was talking recently to party
of her friends and her words must have
borne weight, for the other girls were
listening. When girls are not all talk
ing at once it's a pretty good indica
ton that the one who is thus permit
ted to monopolize the conversation is
saying some thing worth while. ''When
l feel that a man is becoming interest
ed in me to the exclusion of other girls"
said she of the lorgnette, 81 at once put
him to test which is calculated to
bring his true nature to the surface.
OF course, you all know what posers
men are, and how they are on dress pa
rade when the girls are about. Well,
my test is this: make an engagement
with him to go off somewhere at eight
in the morning. Nine men out of ten
VIII be late. At that hour of The morn
ing man is usually disagreeable and
hateful He will be unshaven. His
breath will be reminiscent of stale to-
bacco smoke, and possibly Of last
nights libations. His conversational
powers, usually so scintillating at
night, you will find to be shorn of their
attractions. If you want to look be-
hind the screen of mans conventional
ity, put him to this test. If he comes
through it under favorable conditions.
he will make a good husband. But
I've never seen one that could stand the
test to my satisfaction, and I've tried it
often"

ALL BIRDS NOT GEESE,
Decoys Do Not Always Work Success
fully

fully.
Despite the success with which de-
coys are sometimes used by skillfui
hunters, birds, in the wild state at least,
are not easily deceived, says an ex-
change. Their sense of hearing is pc
culiarly acute, and their instinct en-
ables them instantly to detect the
slightest variation in the song of one
of their own kind-as is laughably
illustrated in the following true story:
A bird catcher, wishing to increase
his stock of bullfinches, took out his
lnned twigs-i. e., twigs covered with
a strongly adhesive preparation, by
alighting on which the poor birds were
caught like flies on sticky tiy-paper-
and arranged them in what he consid-
cred a promising place. For u deco,
he took along a tame bulifinch in a
cage. Now it happened that this bird
was, for a bullfinch, highly educated
overeducated i'll fact. At first the de-
coy uttered a few natural notes, and
its cry attracted several of its kindred,
who posted themselves at little dis
tance, watching the bird in the cage
with much curiosity. Presently they
began to approach, hopping, inch by
inch, toward the fatal twigs. But just
at this critical moment the trained bull
finch, carried away by the excitement
of so interesting an occasion, began to
pipe the old country dance known as
Nancy Dawson" and away flew all
the intended victims as fast as their
wings could carry them.

WHISKY SAVED HIS LIFE,
Mississippi Steamboat Man Preserved
His ANTONY Intact

His Anatomy Intact.
Charles Gross is white-headetf ne
gro porter on the steamboat ST. Paul,
says the st. Louis Republic.
Charlie has some very pronounced
opinions, which amount to convictions.
One of these is that, while whisky costs
some men their lives, it saved his.
Seven years ago Charlie was porter
on the Mascot, a packet boat running
between st. Louis and Cape Girardeau.
He had been imbibing II prodigious
amount of fire water when a friend of
his came into the saloon on the levee
where he was enjoying himself and
said: You mus hur' up, Charlie. Yoh
boats ringin' her bell"
What f she is?'' said Charlie. "rl
go on the mex trip" and he returned to
the cam"
TIE Mascot went ON her way with
out Charlie, and when she was opposite
Neligh's Landing she blew up, killing
most of her crew. So Gross is firm in
the belief that an all-orlering Provi-
dence gave him that remarkable ca
pacity for fiery fluid in order to save
him from the fate of the sober MEM
bers of the crew.
He has sworn off since at the emphatic
request of Capt. Burke, but what he has
lost in the way of accomplishments in
the line of throwing beer into hissef"
has been the cause of anxiety on his
part. He is superstdtious about the
"cup that inebriates" and fears that
some day he will be punished, as un-
grateful friends are likely to be, by the
blowing up of the ST. Paul and all her
sober crew.

broke away and fell. The edge of it
folling struck the lampstand and ig

plaster, making it burst into blaze.
It overturned the stand, breaking the
lamp. The matches lighted the oil
as it spread over the floor. The WOOL

my wife, her face was as white as
sheet. ahd behind Eer the doctor and
a policeman As We looked at her
she closed her eyes and fell back into
the arms of the policeman. Somehow
it seemed to me that she was falling
into infinite space, and for first time
in nay life | collapsed into a dead
faint.
