Clever Little Stories.

From the Chicago Journal
In a downtown ofice is a clerk who Is an
ardent spiritualist, and tells each day of his
experiences the night before Yesterday
morning he said: Il had a nice talk with
Socrates last night" An Irishman who sits
near him couldn't stand that, and, dropping
his pen, he whirled around, exclaiming;
"Ah, phwat the devil are yez givin' us amy
way. Socrates died 1000 years before the
English language was invfnted, and OF know
dom well youse can't talk Greek!'
A Frenchman arrested in New York for
scorching a few days ago misunderstood the
question when asked his name and replied
"Je ne sails pas The sergeant at the police
station made him repeat this several times
and then entered him in the blotter as
Johnny St Parr.'
They say that during an argument over a
fee, after a Chicago criminal lawyer had
secured the acquittal of his client on charge
of murder, the client said: 81 think your
fee is eXorbitant, especially as I was totally
innocent of the charge" The lawyer replied ::
That's just It! Think how much worse you
would have felt If you had had to hang for
something you never did,

Judge Willis for Congress.

1t is almost unnecessary to appeal to the
readers of the Irish Standard in behalf Of
Judge John w. Willis, Democratic candidate
for congress from the Fourth congressional
district of this state In our last issue ap-
peared sketch of this fearless and uncom-
No man in Minnesota deserves the support of
the reform forces more than he, for he has
always been the consistent opponent of spe-
cial privileges to the few at the expense of
the many, and has brought upon his head
the anathemas of the rings and corporations
for advocating the cause Of humanity and
dealing out even-handed justice to rich and
poor alike.
He is incorruptible, and that Is his great
est offense. He cannot be bullied or intim-
idated by the threats Of corporations, nor be
cajoled nor wheeded by their batteries, and
hence 1t Is that he has always been the tar
get for abuse and misrepresentation from
their subsidized organs.-The Irish Standard.
The canvass which Judge Willis has
conducted for congress has been one
calculated to disarm the most critical.
1t has been dignifled and fair through
out. He has offered to meet his Re
publican opponent in the discussion Of
the issues of the day. but that gen.
tleman had no relish for joint debates
with one SO we'll equipped, and, what
ever his views are upon national or
state matters, he has refrained from
discussing them with the judge from
the same stage. Those Democrats who
are desirous Of seeing the reform tick
ct elected from top to bottom will not
refrain from voting for Judge Willis.

NO EFFECT WHATEVER.
The War Losses to the Life Insur-
ance Companies Prove to Have
Been IncOnsiderabIe.

One of the bugaboos at the outbreak
of the war with Spain was the question
of life insurance. 1t was realized that
our army as a whole was sure to be
made up from volunteers, men from
the peaceful walks of life, and that
there must be a greater or less per-
centage of life insurance represented
In the ranks. Just how much this
might be, or to what extent it might
lead to financial loss to the insurance
organizations, no one could tell. The
closest of actuarial figuring, the
shrewdest Of business forecasting was
of course equally uncertain in this
hitherto unknown situation
The insurance companies took no
concerted action in the matter, each
arriving at an ultimate decision in
best accord with it's own pecuIiarities
and the Judgment of it's officials But
the general public seemed the least in
terested after all, and went right on
insuring the same as ever, while the
insured men who had already enlist
ed or were about to do so appeared
almost equally unconcerned. The pub
lie seemed to believe that whatever
might happen theas insurance was all
right and were quite willing to leave
the settlement ofsthe question to ex-
perts and wiseaerps inside and outside
the company ofices5
Well the war has come and gone
It was short, sharp sand decisive. Many
lives were lost, and among them a
due proportion of insured men. The
effect on the companies was nil, and
there is not one of them that at the
end of the present year will have an
appreciable gain in it's death rate to
show over preeeding years.
What the effect might have been had
the war been longer and the losses
greater cannot OF ;course be known.
But wars with any such fearful
slaughter as vas incurred In our Civil
contest are rarities More men were
lost on the Union side alone during
those four years than have fallen in
English armies in all her wars of the
past 700 years. But even with another
such q terrible contest American life
insurance companies, with their pres
ent ratio of assets to liabilities and
careful management, would be MAIN
ly undisturbed.
Meanwhile, the only regret In this
connection is that in the war just
closed more of the fallen brave had
not been fortunate enough TO take out
life insurance.

The Dispatch Roorback OF 1906.

just at the close of the campaign of
1896 the st. Paul Dispatch published a
statement to the effect that John Lind
was an atheist. It was too late to
oVertake the lie with the truth, and
many votes were thereby influenced
against Mr.. Lind, who was defeated.
IT the Dispatch gathered amy enjoyable
fruits as result of its exploit, they
were short-lived. When the election was
over, Mr.. Lind promptly brought suit
against the Dispatch and secured
verdict for $500 damages before Judge
Bum and st. Paul jury.
That vindication was before the law.
The slander, as was subsequently
learned, did have the effect of alien
ating many votes from Mr. Lind in
Ramsey county which otherwise would
have been polled for him, and amons
these were several clergymen and
members of their congregations. 1t is
known that these will this year undo
the wrong they did to Mr.. Lind in 1895,
and that their influence will be felt In
the same direction in the communities
where that influence can be properly
eXerted. It is only a simple act of
justice for any one who was led, at
that time, by the PRONUNCIATION of the
slander, to aid in the defeat of Mr..
Lind, to show, at this time, his con-
demnation Of it by giving him his sup
port.
The people Of st. Paul are proverbial-
ly fair-minded. There may be soma
among them who, having heard Of ths
slander, did not learn of the action at
law or it's results. Reference is made
to the incident at this time to the end
that these may be informed Of the
facts. The reception accorded to Mr..
Lind last Thursday evening in tbs
Auditorium seemed to convey, in the
enthusiastic greeting to the candidate,
desire to wipe out the remembrance
of a wrong done. NIr. Lind was led to
refer to the incident and to express
his satisfaction at being among a peo.
pie who were prompt to accord justice
to an injured party, in their courts.
The voters of st. Paul generally will
have an opportunity to make the popu-
lar vindication even more complete.

resented in their conversation. 1t is evil
dent that Mr.. Eustis will have a rude
awakening when the returns from this
capital city come to be made up to-
night. In the language which one
sometimes hears from the lips of those
who have been overstrained as the re-
cipients of some indignity at the hands
of an individual, or as an expression
of disdainful rejection, the citizen of
st. Paul has mo use" for William
Henry Eustis. Let every voter who

A Profitable Pen.

Perhaps no one receives such large prices
for his work as Rudyard Kipling, says the
British Weekly. He has contracted to write
eight stories for one of the magazines next
year, for each of which he will receive
about $1.200. This is simply for the English
serial rights of the stories. In addition, Mr..
Kipling receives payment from America,
India and the colonies. This viii probably
bring up the price Of the stories to about
$500 each, making $4,000 for the year. In
addition to this, Mr.. Kipling receives the
royalties for book publication In England and
America. This will not amount to less than
about $20,000 SO that for each story the au-
thor ultimately receives not less than $1,000
Whether these high prices will be kept up
Is doubtful. If the cheap magazinism sue
ceeds in injuring the older periodicals they
cannot be maintained. 1t remains to be seen
whether the public cares much for names
and it must be remembered that the papers
with the largest circulation in this country
Der some years ago Mr.. Kipling contributed
one of his best pieces of work, better work
by a great deal than he has been doing late
ly, to a monthly review. The editor informed
me that not one extra copy of the periodical
was sold.

BET $4,000 ON LIND,
But MIR. Michael DOran Only Saw
$4,000 of Minneapolis Money.

There was a meeting of some semi api-
talists Of Minneapolis, at the West hotel,
on Sunday for the purpose Of upholdng the
credit of the city. They had either read in
The G b had heard in some way that
Mr.. Michael Doran had sat long and patient
ly In his Robert street offics in st. Paul. all
day Saturday, waiting for anybody from
Minneapolis to come over and take the whole
or any part of $40, 900 on John Lind for gov
ernor. 1t was not out of sympathy with the
st. Paul man that they had assembled. But
they were grieved to know that the impress
sion had gone abroad that Minneapolis was
lacking in sand and lucre.
1t was decided at the Sunday meeting to
raise $1,000 Qf they had to borrow it, and
send it over to st. Paul the following day.
One speaker advocated the raising of the
whole amount, $4,000, but his friends said
him nay. ''Mr. Doran knows something
about Minnesota, and 1t may be that William
Hy is really the hind dog in this fight. If
We are to lose anything, five is ample this
year.
1t was decided, moreover, to enlist the
newspapers, and it was arranged to have a
story appear yesterday morning in the Trib-
une and the st. Paul Pioneer Press, depict
ing their great anxiety to get after the St.
Paul veterans "wad."
Not all the money was raised at the West
hotel meeting by any means; the mem
bers Of the exchange had to be drummed
right vigorously the following morning to
make up the full amount. About 1 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the Minneapolis "wad''
was entrusted to Mr.. Hal Watson, and he
made his way to Robert street. There he
found ''his man" and his money. A ST. Paul
man always requires Minneapolis man in
such delicate matters to be identified" and
that little formality disposed of, the rest
was promptly settled-and to Mr.. Watson's
entire satisfaction. Indeed. he lifted his hat
and said Thank you" as he retreated In
good order from the Robert street Office.
Mr.. Watson bet that William Hy, the friend
of Menage, would have more votes than John
Lind, the friend of the people.
There were three or four other gentlemen
in Mr. Dorans office during the day anxious
to bet something on Eustis. The biggest
bettor had $1,S50 and the smallest $50. 81
don't want your money, gentlemen" Mr.
Doran said, but the only way to repress
vice is to make it expensive, so I'll see you
all, and raise you if you want me to- They
allowed they did not want him to.
Mr.. Doran bet altogether $4,000 on John
Lind yesterday.

BRING IN MORE INDUSTRIES
PETER BERKEY URGES CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE. TO ACTION
Report on the Interstate Commerce
Law, with Some Proposed Amend
ments, Is Submitted.

The chamber of commerce, at its regular
session yesterday morning. took turn at
the recent report of the interstate commerce
commission and waded through large
amount of business.
Peter Berkey, at the opening of the cham
Der, urged more activity on the part OF the
organization in securing for ST. Paul addl-
tional manufacturing industries, pointing out
at the same time the lasting benefits to the
community which enterprises OF this nature
effected.
and Labor assembly, protesting against the
present methods frequently employed by con-
tractors in letting contracts to outside Ia
Dor, and asking the chamber to cooperate
in remedying the evil, was referred to the
mercantile and manufactures committee.
A circular from the National Civil Service
Reform league, protesting against any change
in the way of circumscrlbing the operation
of the merit system in civil service. was
referred to the committee on state affairs.
The railroad committee reported on the sub
ject of bringing the express companies under
the Jurisdiction Of the grain and warehouse
commission. The report was laid on the
table.
Gen Sanborn, of the committee on legisla77
ton reported favorably on the proposltloi
to recommend revision Of the revenue tax
law.
views on the recent report of the interstate
commerce commission having to do with the
powers and functions regulating railroad
traffic The report is the. result Of seyeral
months consideration by the committee and
proposes a number of amendments to the
statutes regulating the functions of the COM
mission. These amendments suggested
with view to giving to the commission
certain powers which it was supposed were
vested in it, but which recent decisions Of the
United States supreme court have held did
not exist. 1t Is also to overcome the limita-
tions which now restrict the commission in
it's labors that these amendment are pro-
posed. The amendments may be briefly stated
as follows:
First Regulation of rates on tariff origin
ating in foreign ports.
Second-Powers of the commission to fix
rates in advance.
Third-Power of the commission to fix
diferentals in advance.
Fourth-Power Of the commission to deter
mine the division of joint rates between car
riers.
Fifth-Power of the commission to enforce
it's orders.
Sxth-Competition as affecting the long and
short haul sections
The report is signed by John B. sanborn,
E. g. Durment. w. P. Murray, Walter 4.

special order for next Monday morning.
