WITH INSURANCE men
AGENTS TAKE A STAND AGAINST
OVERHEAD WRITING.
Assessment Insurance Scored by the
Governor of Massnchusetts-
Changes IN Local Insurance
C~ircles-NOteS.

Overhead writing has been vigorously
taken up by the National Association of
Local Fire Insurance Agents and the po-
sition of the organization has been plainly
stated in a circular recently issued by the
president, G.. H. Woodworth, of Buffalo,
N. Y.
Under the heading of ''What Has Been
Decided On is this:
Believing that. local agents should lend
a land in the fight against overhead writ
Ing, and believing that the local agents CT
the United States prefer companies not al
dicted to this practice, and that they will
favor such companies when furnished their
names, this association intends to publish
a list of the companies which advise us
that hereafter they will not write over the
heads OF their local agents. Every avail
able means will be-employed to put a copy
of this list in the hands of every local
agent In the country"
The. action Of the association amounts
practically to a boycott and it is safe to
say that most of the companies will not
be slow in getting representation Oh the
list. The companies cannot afford to be
made conspicuous by their absence. Sew
eral drafts of resident agent laws have
been prepared, the one offered by the Con-
tinental. of New York, probably being the
best. but the united action of the Agents
Association will do more to stop overhead
writing thar any resident agent law on
acted.
Under the heading, "In Conclusion" the
circular says:
The National Association of Local Fire
Insurance Agents appreciates the magni-
tude of the overhead writing evil. and real
ICES that 1t has been only skirmishine
against it SO far. We now intend to rally
the local agents to the support of the COM
panles which are opposed to it.. and we
tinction."

TWINS MURDERED BY LAW.
According to a West African Super
stition Their Birth Is q Sign of
Witchcraft.

From the London Chronicle.
Miss Scissor. of the United Presbyterian
mission at Old Calabar, was a passenger
on the Eide Dempster liner Oron, which
left Liverpool recently, and had with her
four black children whose cases reveal a
painful part of West African history. Miss
Scissor has now worked for twenty-five
years in Old Calabar. The children are
aged respectively 2. 3. 5. and Is years. and
each is one of twins appointed at one time
to die, in accordance with a superstitious
custom prevailing in the Niger Coast Por-
tectorate.
In the course Of an interview Miss Scissor
said, that all twins born were. according
to the native laws. to be put Immediately
been rescued by the missionaries and
placed beyond the reach of the native
power who rave SO far escaped. The chill
together Miss Scissor has herself saved the
lives of fifty-one wins
When the twins are born they are at once
taken from the mother, and, if no one in
tercedes, they are taken by the feet and
head and lave their backs broken across
a native woman's knee, in the same way
are then placed in an earthenware recep-
tacle and taken to the bush, where they
are devoured by the flies, insects or ami
in these receptacles alive and are then eat
en- alive in the same way. The mother be-
comes an outcast. If she does not at once
take her own life. she has to flee to the
bush. If she ventures near the town or
village she must see that she does not re-
main in the path when any other native is
coming. Her presence, according to the
superstition, would defile the place for
others. She must not drink from the same
spring, must not touch anything even be-
longing to her own relatives. and there is
little cause for wonder that she takes
away her life, which has become a living
death.
Miss Scissor is accompanied on the Orion
by Miss Mcintosh, and together they are
going to establish a home for these native
twins The natives superstition is that the
birth of twins is the result of witchcraft
and deviltry. Formerly the mother, as well
as the children. wa put to death. The in
tervention of the white missionaries and
traders has saved her life. Miss Scissor
said: 1T is really impossible to at once
put an end to the horrible native customs.
There could be no better governors than
We have at present. Sir Ralph Moor and
Sir Claude Macdonald have helped us all
they can. We don't want them to kill the
natives to make them abolish the shocking
practice. We hope by saving the children
to show the natives that they are wrong
in their belief. 1t is their religious belief
that makes them kill their children"

No Time to Fool Away.
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
One of the venerable member of the bar
was a circuit judge nue. earlier In his
career and tells this among the many in
teresting incidents of that time:
II went once to hold court in a new
county of the northern part of the state
where the transcript from Justices
courts were usually incomprehensible and
where little concession was made to forms
of law in running the judicial machinery.
A man who appeared as Indifferent as
though Justice were a thing to
him was brought before me charged with
selling whisky to Indians.
Guilty or not guilty? I inquired, af-
ter the nature of the charge had been ex-
planned to him.
".Hain't It Jest a leetle early to decide
that, ledger
II repeated the question sternIy, but he
stood mute.
Enter a plea of not guilty. Mr.. Clerk.
I continued.
Much obleeged, jedge,' and the fellow
started for the door.
Changed yer mind. have yer, ledger
when he was brought back. Thought yer
said l was not guilty.
II explained. and hen asked him if he
had a lawyer.
emo, I hain't, jSige. I've stumped this
here hull durn section and I can't find a
lawyer in it. Atween you and me, jedge.
1 don't see no way but ter drap this dog
gone thing. Me or you either hain't got no
time ter fool away
II certainly hadn't, and he was remand
ed to await the tender mercies of the next
judge that came along"
