Not a Good Risk in Kentucky.

From the Washington Star.
The manager of a life insurance COM
pany had the floor.
Life insurance companies" he was
saying, are as particular about the
people they already have on their lists
as they are about getting them in the
beginning. They are rich, of course,
but they are no more anxious to take
in man who will die of disease within
the first year or two than they are to
take in perfectly healthy man and
have him hazard his life by taking per-
sonal risks in dangerous pursuits or by
travel In unhealthy countries
Il remember a funny incident that
occurred once while I was living in New
England. One of our $4,000 men had
way of calling man liar in the most
careless and indiscriminate manner,

MARRIAGE BY TELEPHONE,
Tying the Nuptiai Knot by Crossed
Wires,

A marriage by long distance tele-
phone is certainly an unusual way OF
tying the nuptial knot. 1t is the latest
thing in Elmira and Williamsport, N.
Y. One afternoon last week the door
pell rang at the parsonage of Rev. Isaac
Jennings. pastor of the FIRST Prtsby-
terrain church of this city, and the doe
tor was greeted al the door by a we'll
dressed young man, who handed him a
| letter 1t was from prominent bust
ness man of Willamsport, Pa. and in
PRODUCED to the pastor the young man.
whose name was Harry A. Rantz.
The writer stated that the bearer was
the accepted sutton of his daughter,
Miss Nellie G. Maxwell. and that the
young couple wished to be married. 1t
is further stated that the marriage was
approved by the families of both, and
only failed to take place in the usual
way because the young people wanted
TO be married in a novel and romantic
style. They wished to be united by tel
ephone.
The father of the prospective bride
mad consulted a lawyer and learned that
the legality of such marriage was en-
tlrely unquest1oned and had given his
consent. He said he would at $40
o'clock in the afternoon go to a long
distance telephone with his daughter
and witness the Williamsport part of
the ceremony if Dr. Jennings would go
Wfth Mr.. Rantz to an Elmra telephone
and read the service.
Mr Maxwell had made an affidavit
before Williamsport notary in which,
he assumed every responsibility in The
matter This was as much as most
ministers would have asked. But DR.,
Jennings is very careful and conserv-
atlVe man, and after considering the
matter concluded to get legal advice
also. lie learned that the proceedings
would be entirely safe for all parties
and after due deliberation consented.
Inc young man and the pastor Wenr

made known their errand. A telephone
operator was asked to act as witness
and complied. With wonderful CELEBRITY

things We're made ready, and the min
lister and the witness, with their ears
to transmitters. were ready to proceed
AL Wllliamsport the bride and her ia tn
er stood at the telephone.
DR. Jennings then asked his questions
of the bride and groom. They were
answered clearly and distinctly by each
contracting party. The ceremony pro-
ceeded gravely and decorously and the
preacher pronounced the pair husband
and wife and all was over.
The groom, after receiving congratu-
lations. left for Williamsport, where
both resided, to join his bride. The pa
pefs for signature were sent to Will
Transport and will be returned and
proper registration made.

Great Falls, March 12.-The angry

consider the attempt of the Dan Nc

the primaries are held they will show
them a day of judgment that will be
as advertised. They say that they will
have a candidate for mayor of their

will make both the fusion pops and the

they finish. They claim that Donayan

Mystery of GRAY U.ir

That mans hair sometimes turns
gray very suddenly is fact we'll known
to Psychologists. Statistics, however
on this subject are very rare, and for
this reason Prof. Virchow, the famous
German scientist, recently requested
number of physicians to send him full
details of all such cases as might come
under their observation. AS a result
DR.. MoritZ, the well-known authority
ON diseases of the throat, has Just pub
lished in the Archive full account of
such case. The subject, or victim, is
day laborer about 36 years of age.
Some time ago he was very nearly run
over by railroad train, and naturally
he received a severe shock. On the fol-
lowing morning a friend asked him
what he had done to his hair, and, look
ing in the glass, he saw that there were
two distinct patches of white on his
head, one exactly in the middle and the
other just above his right ear. Each
patch of white hair covers a space of
from three to four square inches. The
evident conclusion is that this sudden
change of color was caused solely BY
the fright which the man experienced
when the train flashed by him within a
few inches of his body.-N. Y. Herald.

exercise is invaluable for Strengthening
the neck and developing the muscles
of the neck and shoulders and reducing
the size of the waist and abdomen.
But a great many other exercises in
volving the stretching of the muscles
advantage, as they are less violent.
For instance, standing firmly with
the toes weI turned out, put the feet
quite near together, with both arms eX-
tended nearly at right angles with the
body, reach as far as possible, first to
the right and then to the left, as if en-
ldeavoring to reach wall at some dis
tance from the body.
Vary this motion by twisting the
body upon the waist, so that the right
arm is reaching as far to the left as pos
sible, and in turn the left arm reaching
to the right.
Vary again by standing facing wall
and touching it with tho tips of the
fingers of both hands. After each touch
move away about half IN inch farther,
until it is with the utmost difficulty
that you can touch the wall at all. Then
repeat several times in succession.
All these movements are invaluable
for improving the carriage of the body
and reducing the size of the waist. All
should be taken very slowly and in con-
nection with deep, slow, even breath
