TREASURE UNDER THE FLOOR
The Valuable Possessions That Pio-
ueer Hid Thus

In times of danger 1t is as natural for
human beings to bury the things they prize
as II is for dog to bury his favorite bones,
but few people would have thought 1t quite
safe to bury such treasures as a pioneer
woman once concealed under her floor.
Daniel Drake, in the appendix to his
"Pioneer Life In Kentucky" told the story
as an illustration of the Spartan qualities
of the women among the early settlers.
A family, consisting of the husband, the
wife and two children, one years old. the
other at the breast, occupied solitary
cabin in the neighborhood Of blockhouse
where several of the family resided, in the
year 1883. Not long after the cabin was
built the husband unfortunately died; and
such was the grief and gloom of the widow
that she preferred to live alone rather than
mingle with the inhabitants of the crowded
blockhouse, where the noise and hustle
would be a.bhorrent to her feelings. In
this solitary situation she passed several
months. At night 1t was common thing
to see and hear the Indians around her
habitation; and to secure her babes from
the tomahawk she resorted to the follow
ing precaution: Raising puncheon of the
floor, she dug hole in the ground and
prepared bed, In which, after they had
gone to sleep she laid them side by side.
and then restored the puncheon. When
they awoke and required nourishment she
raised It, hushed them to sleep and re-
turned them to their hiding place. In this
way she passed night after night and week
after week, with the Indians and her ba bes
as the sole objects OF her thought and vigil

Foreign Agencies in the Island

Among the fire insurance companies hav-
Ing agencies established in Cuba. with
headquarters at Havana, are:
Commercial Union Assurance company OF
London, Lancashire Insurance company
of Manchester, London Assurance corpora
Globe Insurance company of London, I'm
perial Fire Insurance company of
London, North German Fire Insur-
ance company Of Hamburg, North
British and Mercantile Insurance COM
pany of London, Magdeburg Fire
Assurance company Of London, Prussian
National Insurance company of Germany,
Royal Insurance company of Liverpool,
Scottish Union and National Insurance
company of Scotland.
For a number of years the life companies
transacted a small but apparently profita-'
BILE business in Cuba. but the conditions
gradually grew worse until, with the be-
ginning of the war, they were ready to re-
tire from the field. In both Porto Rico and
the Philippine islands attempts have been
made to write business, but bad sanitary
conditions and hostile legislation prevent
ed material success.
The whole section is being watched and
studied now with the idea of rehabilitat-
Ing the plants, in some cases established
many years ago, and seeking to conduct
safe and careful business upon the lives of
citizens of the United States and foreign
residents who have become acclimated.

GENERAL SPORTS

Vienna Is the trotting center of the Euro
pean continent.
Ringing" horses In Germany Is a pas
time that is attended with considerable
danger, even to natives. A few weeks
ago a German horse dealer started Rus
sian bred-mare In race and represented
that she was bred In Germany. He was
caught, tried, convicted, sentenced to one
year In prison at hard labor and deprived
Of his civil rights for three years after
completing his prison sentence.
H. d. Newburn recently broke the rec
ord for a running broad jump by making
% feet 8N inches. Myer Prinstein broke
the old record a few weeks ago in New
York, making 70 feet, SIS inches, and the
news hardly reached Ireland before New
burn, Trinity college man, made the new
mark. Newburn is said to be a coming
phenomenon. He is feet az inches tall,
weighs 1S9 pounds and is said to be able to
run 100 yards In 10 seconds.
Marcus Daily has done something this
season which few breeders Of trotting
horses ever equaled in a lifetime, that OF
sending to the turf at the beginning Of
the campaign two such remarkably bril-
liant young trotters as John Nolan, 2:l4,
and Querist, 2:1454. Both OF these fast
ones were foaled at Mr.. Days Bitter Root
ranch. near Hamilton. Mont. in 1893, but
got away from the millionaire horseman be-
fore their extreme speed was discovered.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.-wheat started fiSm

Tor over an hour. AT the end Of that time
September had advanced to 6S@63Ac, as
compared with 63c bid the day before. De-
cember did not follow September at that
time more than to the extent of 1sc. reach
Ing 62Bc when September was 631kc and
going no higher during the Iatters further

extra strength IN the nearer delivery pro-
ceeded from slight misgivings as to the
suffioiency Of receipts in the near future.
Primary market receipts amounted to S54 900
bushels, against $4,000 bushels on the same
day last year Bradstreet.'s reported the
worlds visible supply to have decreased
S,49S 900 bushels. and just plevious to that
announcement II became known that a
large business had been done in spot wheat
for prompt shipment. About 200 900 bushels
No. red was disposed of at four cents a
bushel In store here above the September
price. The cash business and Bradstreet' S

we have experienced, should say the first
mentioned will present much better field
for US. With the lapse of time and improved
sanitary conditions, particularly in the cit
les, under system Of laws which begin
with the Anglo-Saxon idea Of honesty. there
Is no reason why Cuba and Porto Rico, and
even the Philippines, should not prove a
profitable field for life insurance, based, OF
course. upon an adequate rate Of premium.
The Equitable Life OF New York has
never done business in the Philippines, and
withdrew from Porto Rico some time ago
on account Of the mortality. The company
finally abandoned all West Indian territory
with the exception Of Cuba. and the war
put an end to It's business there. Vice
President Alexander of the Equitable Life
says: "a
l know that both in Cuba and Porto Rico
business, will improve under favorable con-
ditions and with time the sanitary objec-
tons will become less and less. We have
made 1t rule not 10 press our business In
doubtful quarters. and while matters are
yet in disturbed state, will not take def
mite action.

Rules in Tropical Chimes

In tropical climes the conditions govern
ing life insurance are very different from
those to be encountered In the United
States; in fact, the experience of some Of
the companies suggests high rates, small
lines, and carefully selected risks.
With the protecting hand of the United
States extending over these sections, how
ever, company managers believe they will
be more tenable. An American will not live
where the sanitary conditions are bad, and
those in authority after control passes to
the United States are likely to rapidly rem
edy these crying evils in the cities Of the
West Indian and South Sea islands coun-
tries.
The experience Of the New York Life In
surance company In the countries named
Is not such. under the conditions heretofore
existing, as tolead the management to look
upon its further development with any par
ticular favor The business OF the company
In Cuba reached its maximum in 1880, and
from that time has been gradually decreas-
ing. This, 1t is stated, comes largely from
annoying legislation In Porto Rico the
New York Lfe's business reached high
water mark In $780, while the company prac-
tically suspended operations in the Philip
pines several years ago because of annoy
ing legislation from Madrid.

Life and fire insurance companies are al
ready discussing the question of charging
their field of operations to embrace the
newly acquired possessions of the United
States, says the Chicago Times-Her-
aid. The life companies. 1t is believed.
will soon take steps to push business In
Porto Rico. Cuba and the Philippines, while
the fire companies will probably limit their
writings to the possessions in American
waters.
General agents OF fire insurance compa-
MES in Chicago have for some time been re-
ceiving applications for agencies In Ha-
vana, Santiago de Cuba and the cities OF
Porto Rico but up to this time no one has
seriously considered the question Of oper-
ating In those sections.
Foreign fire insurance companies have
been doing a limited business in Cuba for
several years. but with the advent of
Americans into that section It is believed
that the demand for American insurance
will be strong enough to induce companies
of the United States to extend their oper-
atoms to the large cities Of the islands.

Cuba Has One Local Company

Cuba has but one local fire insurance
company. named eel Iris" and located in
Havana. It Is mutual and was estab-
lished in 1855. Ell Iris has insurance In
force amounting to about $30,0O0,0o0. with
resources Of 1925 ,000-at least these were the
figures reported prior to the declaration of
war. Although the company has been In
business continually for forty-four years.
its losses since organization amount to but
1.500, 000
Those engaged in fire insurance In Ha-
vana are nearly all of Spanish origin and
are quoted as being easy and slow-going
when compared with the insurance
"hustlers" of the United States. The close
Of the war will undoubtedly see number
of agents established in Havana and begin
q competition which Will open the eyes of
the local agents there. who have been wont
to wait for business to come to their door.
