VIII YOU kindly answer the following
question in next Sundays issue OF the
Dispatch? Mr.. Smith insures his life for
$4,000 for the benefit Of his four sons-A,
b. G, and D-each to share equally. Al
ter about ten years he finds himself I'M
able TO continue the payments on same.
Not desiring the policy 10 lapse, A, y,
and c club in and continue the policy for
about two years; ID refuses TO contribute
anything. Now A. b, and decline TO
pay any more premiums, and ID continues
the policy for about four months, when
Mr.. Smith dies. The policy has never
been changed. neither has A, b, ., or d
ever signed any written agreement sur
rendering their interest in said policy to
any one. How should the $1,000 be dis
posed Of? Yours very truly,
JOHN SMITH
Legally, the company has to pay $1,000
to each, and then. equitably, d shoulG
pay to A, d, and C one-fourth of what
they paid in, to be divided equally between
them. and they should pay to d three

Symptoms of CHAMBERS.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

10 the ECltOr OF tne Dlspdtcn.
viii you please tell me in your next
issue from what disease my horse is SUI
fering? Its symptoms are as follows: l
have owned the horse about one month,
and during that time clear blood has
dripped from it's nostrils. This was twice
followed by a thin watery discharge.
Frequently the nostrils are dry. The ami
mails appetite varies. At times it eats
a good deal. and then again 1t will take
very little except corn. y. -. e
1t would be difficult for a veterinarian
to answer this question without an op-
portunity TO examine the horse. 1t may
be merely a nasal catarrh, or II may be
a more serious disease affecting the
horse-possibly CHAMBERS. In the latter
case the animal should be destroyed, and
the stall where it has been kept disin-
fected. We would advise that the horse
be examined by competent veterinarian
and if the animal IS affected with CLAN
ders the case should be reported to the

The pupils OF the Sunday school of

ruler, Antioch Epiphanes. There was
a good-sized audience Notwithstanding
the painful smoke which heaped its in
sulting presence upon the town. The
number, pleased and in not a few in
stances surprised their hearers by their
rendition OF poems and nj appropri-
ate to the occasion. The first feature
was the march OF the children from the
lobby through the main entrance To the
Auditorium. the girls in single file
marching up the right aisle and the
boys likewise taking the left. the two
columns meeting or the platform, where
seats were arranged for them. In the
center of the platform sat Rabbi Eisen-
berg behind a table upon which were
arranged wax tapers i'm number equal

The services were opened by the chill

all of the pupils. each in turn passing
in front of the table and lighting a IAN
