A REMARKABLE YARN
Uncle Bill Hnmmond's Bass Went
A-MOusinE.

From the New York Werld
Uncle Bill Hammond, who keeps a big
kennel over at Eldred, four miles from Sho-
nola, IN Sullivan county, is as we'll known
TOT MS stories as for his prowess as a
hunter and fisher. This is his latest, told
in the Shohola Glen Hotel a few days ago:
~ know Lem Wilkins barn over to
Round Pond? Well. me an Fred Freeman
went over there last Thursday to fish
through the Ice. Fred went out to chop
some holes to fish through. an began to
git the tip-ups ready. While 1 was fxin'
EN- 1 saw suthin' go flip. flop, flip, flop
along the ground between the barn an the
pond- / thought it might be a squirt with
a broken leg or suthin' an went closter
An what dyer think it waz? Nuthin' but
big black bass.
Blame me If 1 wasn't so surprised that
1 jest stood an looked at it till it Topped
square into an airhole in the pond. turn
ed back to the tip-ups. an if l didn't see
two others doin' the same trick!
Eyes. sir. there they was a-f1ippin' an
a-floppin' their way between the barn an
the pond 1 hollered to Fred, an while he
wuz comm / counted four more doin' the
same trick. We was surprised that we
jest watched 'em flip an flop till they all
got into the POND.
pike bit pretty good an our bait ran
out When pike is good an hungry they'll
bite at anything shiny. So we just ripped
bass open to get the white of his belly.
An what dyer think we found in that bass
belly? Couldn't guess in hundred guess
es mouse! Yes, sir, mouse! Howe
it git there?
well. sir. that set us t. thinkin' an put
tin two an two together. We ripped the
other bass we'd caught open, an three of
the four he'd mice in their bellies. Yes, sir,
an they wuzn't digested. Fred, he said:
III bet those fish was up to the barn fer
them mice. An they was. That's the only
CIT or, hoc inct
Hoped their way up, ketched the mice an
Topped back again."

Secrets of Life Insurance.
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly.
For many years after life insurance COM
pantes were started no surrender values
whatever were given on policies that were
given up, but the entire value of such
policies was forfeited for the benefit OF
those who kept their contracts in force
This was a great hardship to holders of
policies who could not continue to pay the
premiums and who were thus obliged to
abandon them. Now all Of these old-time
insurance companies are obliged by law to
give a certain return to the insured If he
abandons his policy after the expiration of
two or three years. Some companies have
gone to the other extreme, and have Of
fered liberal returns to those who sur
render their policies. Others issue what
are called "tontine policies that promise
the entire reserve and 0umulated profits
to all who keep their policies in force to
the end of a certain perod-say, ten, fif
teen or twenty years. Insurance agents
have way of figuring up what they think
one ought to receive for his policy on it's
surrender, but no agent will ever make an
absolute written agreement as to the sur
render value of a policy beyond an amount
guaranteed by the company. This guaran-
tee is always a moderate one-much less
than what the agents calculate 1t should
be. Fortunately, the law steps in to regu-
late some of these matters. and under its
compUlSlon even an insurance agent is
Obliged to tell the truth or take the conse-
quences. If a person desires to invest his
money in a life insurance policy which
shall guarantee the payment of certain
amount in case Of his death, and which in
case of his survival for ten, fifteen or
twenty years shall return to him all that
he has paid in for life insurance, with in
terest added to the same, he must expect
to pay a higher price than he would IL he
simply paid for policy that guaranteed a
certain death payment. The cash surrender
value. therefore, means value which the
policy has not only at the death of the
person, but at any time when he may
choose to give up his policy and ask the
company to make him some return of the
cash which he has paid In for his annual
premiums.

different towns throughout the coal regions,
are making splendid effort to boom hard
coal. In reading the New Orleans Picayune
this morning l see that schooner from Balti-
more, Md, arrived here with load of an
thracite coal. In the past all hard coal that
was shipped here came by railroad, which
brings the freight up to a high figure, and
consequently the dealers charge $3.50 and
$1,000 "A ton. while soft coal, shipped here in
barges down the Mississippi river at Il re-
duced freight rate, is sold at much less
figure Now that the different lines have
begun to bring anthracite coal here as ballast
am in hopes of seeing old anthracite sold as
low as $500 ton. If this continues thous
