Plain Talk
About Fire.>
Fires have a habit Of

Fires have q habit OF
occurring unexpectedly. They
never give notice in advance.
No man can look into the flu
ture and tell what is going to
happen. A man may work
and slave for years in accumu-
lating a little property, but
fire is powerful enough towipe
out his savings in an hour.
Seems strange that any
body should overlook the vital
matter of carrying insurance
on his property. My compa-
MES are solid and prompt. A
postal card will bring .one OF
my agents to see you about
this important matter.

DR.. St. Clair in making the rounds ofthe
town has found that the greater part of
the population has been vacinated OF a
sufficiently recent date to preclude the
necessity of their being vacinated again.
There were only about seventy-fve per-
sons in the town who needed the treat
ment, of whom he has vaccinated about
twenty-five. AS many more have been
listed for vaccination by other physicians,
so there will be very few left unprotected
in few days.

" vacant seat, thoroughly oblivious Of
the feelings or countenances of the
men and women about them. One was
ra ther young man of striking clothes
aud features, both pretty wei! set of
by a fine diamond pin in very red tie.
The other, an older man, whose well
cut clothes and wrinkled face i'm
pressed observers with combination
of dollars and dyspepsia. Their con-
yersation was neither remarkably loud
nor remarkably low. The only thing
remarkable about it was the size of the
dollar marks they dealt in.
"If you will make it $5,oO0,OOO will
have the parties at your Office in the
morning"
This from the young man. The an
swer OF his companion was lost in q
lurch of the car, which landed woman
and baby in his lap. They paused po-
litely to accept her apologies and frown
at the baby. The second capitalist con-
tinued the conversation.
''The deal is good for over $3O,oo0,-
GOO in three years, and"
A second interruption occurred, more
ominous than the first. The conductor
had forced himself through the throng.
"Fares, please"
The woman with the baby paid.
Fares, please"
This time to the fve-and-thirty mil
lion dollarites, whose imposing figures
had evidently not reached the ears of
the conductor. He held out his hand.
His two passengers kept both theirs
running from one pocket to another
without result. The gentleman next
to them in the corner reached out and
naid his fare.
