Birds Take Baths In Ashes,

Naturalists tell us that In making
their toilets some birds use water only.
some water and dust. while others pre-
fer dust and no water. Birds are not
only nice In the choice of bath water,
but also very particular about the quail
ity Of their toilet dust.
Wild ducks, though feeding by salt
water. prefer to battle In fresh water
pools and will fly long distances inland
to running brooks and ponds. where
they preen and dress their feathers In
the early hours of the morning. Spar
rows battle often, both In water and In
dust. They are not so particular about
the quality of water as about the quail
ity of the dust. The city sparrow must
take a water bath where he can get It,
Road dust the driest and finest posi-
BILE, suits him best. Partridges prefer
dry loan. They like to scratch out the
soil from under the grass and fill their
feathers with cool earth.
Most birds are fond of ashes. Take
walk some early morning across a
field where bonfires have burned and
see the numbers of winged creatures
that rise suddenly from the ash heaps.
A darting form. small cloud of ashes,
and the bathers disappear.

of the policy, but the new plan made it impossible for the shareholders to do this and the rates were increased. Some of the shareholders have allowed the new policies to lapse. Others, how ever propose to take steps to recover the money they put into the company's s plan. The insurance commissioner or this state on the first of April declined to reissue license to the company and they are no longer doing business in this state.
 Several of the policy-holders have consulted Stoddard & Goodhart, attor- neys ir this city, and instructed them to bring a suit against the Chicago ln- surance concern in the United States court.
 The above named company should not be confounded with the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance company of Mil waukee, Wis, for which l.. w. Moody of this city is general agent The names are somewhat similar, but MT. Moody s company is an old line legal reserve company, while the company that is being sued has been doing business on the assessment plan. MT. Moody's com- pany has no connection with the one that is being sued. Quite number of the policy-holders of the Northwestern Mutual called at MT. Moody's office yes- terday, thinking that the latter compa- ny was in the lawsuit.

Northwestern Life's New Plan Not Satis- factory Receiver for Meridcn Bronzs Company ppOiWted-Discharge Rec- ommend ed for D. Burton Brown.

Many polcy-holders in Connecticut are interested in the result of test suits that are to be brought soon against the Northwestern Life Assurance com pany of Chicago, a mutual life concern that has been doing business in this state. Some time ago the officers of the company sent out circular to the shareholders stating that the business had been conducted upon losing basis and that change in the methods had been decided upon. It was further stat ed that the old policies would be called in and cancelled and new ones issued. Upon the strength of the representa- tions that were made to them many of the shareholders turned over their cer- tificates and practically agreed to the proposed plan of the company. They supposed that their rights were protect ed. Those who took out the new form of policies soon afterward discovered that the plan of insurance was entirely different from that which had been rep resented to them by the officials of the company.
 The conditions under the old policies permitted the shareholders to withdraw and take a percentage of the amount

Character an Attribute.

The leaves OF me forest take on their
brightest green only to change 10 radiant
colors. and FALL So It is with some trav-
cling men laboring with one another How
bright and pleased are they to meet you;
how wonderfully kind are they to unfold
condolences, and then. because your feel,
ings do not coincide with theirs, they
fall beneath that dignity which should
be strong IN every man. and seek other
sources for friendship. This character is
not so numerous or so strong.
But there is another side TO him, for he
is the one who rides on mileage and cashes
coupons for which travelling mems assocla-

protuse with gladness 20 have cheap mile
age and other accommodations even
praises the Travellers Protective Assocla-
| tion for their good work, but ask him TO
| join the association, and he again falls
so low in dignity that the broad minded
| travelling man feels almost contaminated
This character is familiar with the evils
! OF all associations. and when he is read
right IL Is only because he lacks that high
sense of dignity and duty, or he couldn
be kept out of the association with load
ed shotgun.
The Travellers Protection Association
wants new members, but want men

profession comes within the limits of III

wants the broad and generous man who's
love OF home and care for loved one
makes him feel that Il is a duty to wort

est character whose sense OF duty com
pSls rejection of false claims or unwortn
claimants. Such men are credit to tn
association, but those who would oetra

or in any yay.
The Travellers Protective Associa,io
grows stronger and better each day, an
the Texas division proposes TO take stan
with the full dignity OF the situation, an
counageously march 10 the front wher
men will seek TO join the ranks KNOWN
that character as we'll as profession mu,
be a chief attribute. CIVIL
