where a Good Pistol IL Admired.

Hon: William WORKMAN, long state treas
urer OF Texas, was in New York jewelry
store one day when he noticed showcase
filed with splendid jeweled revolvers, with
silver and gold grips and chased barrels, hav-
ing precious stones set into the butts.
Lemme see one of those guns" he said
to the clerk.
(Which one, sir!''
The gold one with the big ruby in the
handle"
The clerk took it from the case. 1t was
marked $500, and it looked even worth
more. The Texan took it tenderly in both
hands and held it admiringly up to tho
light. Then drawing himself up to his full
height, which was six feet and half, he
rested the revolver upon his left elbow,
crooked for the purpose, and looked over
the sights down the long store. Those per-
sons who saw involuntarily lodged.
Say" said Mr.. Workman, with quiet but
intense enthusiasm, as he returned the
weapon, If was to wear that gun down in

for train which they know to be due.
The court says, further, that, if the
sense of sight is unavailing by reason
of distractions to the view and the
sense of hearing unavailing because of
preventing noises, it becomes the duty
of the traveller to stop, in order to bet
ter enable him to look and listen before

KANSAS NEWS OF RECENT DATE.
the thinner Law Knocked out.

The thinner Law knocked Out.
By a recent decision of the state SUI
preme court, the thinner law, impos-
ing tax of ten per cent. on the pre-
miums of all insurance contracts writ
ten on Kansas property by companies
not authorized to do business in the
state, was declared unconstitutional.
The decision was rendered in the ha-
beas corpus proceedings brought by
Thomas Page, a Topeka miller, who
refused to pay the tax. The object of
the law was to compel all insurance
companies to take out license to do
business in the state by taxing their
business to death as long as they re-
fused to come in. This decision rem
ders the state insurance superintendent
powerless to prevent underground"
insurance. The court holds that since
the contracts are made outside of the
state they are good within the state,
and even if the companies are not au-
thorized to do business in the state
their policies can be enforced. The
policyholders, however, must go out
side of the state to sue.
