"Y-e-s."
"Well that four dollars and over is
your FIRST dividend in the Co. Operative
Company. You didn't have to send

be out of the money and wait for it to
be returned to you. You just keep
your share of the profits in your pocket
where you'll know just what is done
with it. And in all probability you can
add each year. Your policy is in force a
sum to your profits, and when your
policy expires there are ten chances to
one that very snug balance at the
end of your note will also be returned.

"Oh! then our profit is what we

Mark Twain, following the noble ex-
ample Of Sir Walter Scott, has devoted
all his gains for several years to the
payment of what his creditors were dis
posed to regard as dead claims" The
English papers are lavish in their ap-
plause-as if this kind Of honesty were
a rare virtue. Perhaps il Is rare; but
then, more's the pity! Creditors should
forgive us as they hope to lie forgiven;
but no debtor should let himself off
easily, unless he is willing to take the
risk Of moral bankruptcy.

Mr.. Moody thinks. If Christ offered to
rule here as he does in heaven he
would be adopted by no political party
and the majority would vote him down.
Evidently Mr.. Moody believes that the
masses are growing in strength and
number; but he ought to give the ma
Jority some little credit for intelli-
gence. While ignorance and egotism
go together and are powerful, there is
such a thing as common senaa. And
besides Mr.. Plat is not going to live al
ways.

During the course of the discussion
which recently took place in the French
senate on the subject of the sugar du-
ties in that country, some interesting
figures were quoted showing the prog
ress of the sugar industry in the three
sugar producing countries, Germany,
France and Austria During the year
1S74-75 France produced 100000 tons of
sugar, Germany 100000 tons and Aus
tria 100000 tons, while twenty years
later France fell to the third rank, and
Germany produced 1881 600 tons, Aus
tria 1,046,000 and France 900 TONS
In 1873 France exported 100000 tons
of sugar, Austria $4,000 and Germany
81, 900, while in 1895 Germany exported
100000 tons, Austria 100000 and
France $4,000 tons The consumption
in France IN 1895 amounted 20 433, 900
tons and in Germany to 552 600 tons.
The total bounty granted in France on
the manufacture of sugar amounted in
18S4-S5 to G1,012,000 and IL 1896 to
&2,802,000. The quantity OF sugar
consumed per head of the population in
Germany, France and Austria am punt

The affairs of the DePauw univer-
sity, Indiana, are now approaching a
crisis, upon the outcome of which will
depend, almost entirely, the future OF
the institution. 1t has been pretty
generally known since last Septembel
that the fund which has heretofore
been derived from the DePauw estate
was diminished in quantity and that
the needs Of the institution would have
to be supplied from other sources
When the salaries Of the first quarter
now ended are paid the last resources
of the current year will have been
expended. With that payment oil
money provided for in Mr.. DePauw s
will must be exhausted. Then the an
nual deficit of the university will reach
$4,000 unless something be done to
cover 1t.

Troy Times.
We favor an extra session of the
legislature as contemplated by Gov
ernor Leedy. In the first place to
pass the proposed railroad measure.
Second, to pass an insurance law for
state insurance. Third, to pass a
measure in the interest Of the coal
miners of south eastern Kansas.
Fourth, to pass the Initiative and
Referendum. Fifth, to condemn for
public use the property of the Kan
sas City Stock Yards Co. in case they
have, as reported, moved their offices
to Missouri in order to escape the
regulations of the stock yards law OF
last spring, and provide for their
operation by the state of Kansas.
Sixth. to pass law regulating the
charges by telephone, telegraph and
express companies. Here are six
measures that would justify any ex-
rense in order to secure their enact
ment. It has been estimated by the
enemies, the extra session would
cost $40 900. There are 100000 tax
payers in Kansas. Twenty cents
each would pay the expense of an
extra session. If any one of the
above six laws can be secured by an
extra session, it would be cheap at
the cost.
