DIDN'T KNOW THE WIFE.
Had He Been Acquainted the Agent
Would Have Been Less Certain.

1t happened in an insurance office
The caller, who was a large man
with very red whiskers, came in and
introduced himself as Mr.. So-and-so,
who had taken out a life policy for
$4,000 about four years before.
Il remember" said the man at the
window.
q had the policy made payable to
my wife. That is, l had it made pay
able to her. Well, l want it changed.
We've had falling out and she's gone
back home, and so, of course, don
want to carry that policy in her name
any longer"
In that case the thing you want to
do is to have her formally transfer
the policy to you"
Whats she got to do with it? You
know that ] took out that policy and
that I've made all the payments. l
carried it in her name just to make it
easy for her to collect in case l died.
Now want to take it out of her name.
We've dissolved partnership"
What you want her to do is to have
her sign over the policy to you"
'She wouldn't sign over anything.
Why can't you just change this policy
and put it in my name?"
"She is the policy holder, and so far
as the face, of the policy shows you
have no rights whatever. So far as
the reading of the policy goes to show
you have no interest in the policy ex-
cept as the person upon whose death
the payment of the policy is conting-
emit"
That is, the only thing can do on
the premises is TO go and die?"
THAT is the only thing you can do
which will in any way affect the oper-
alton of this policy"
IF l die, l suppose she gets the
money!"
Eyes, if she can produce the policy"
Well, she can't because I've got it
locked up. But it amt worth any,
thing TO me as it reads now is it?"
Nothing whatever"
''If stop paying on it, though, I lose
all that put in"
You lose all except a small sur
render value. But you can't collect
that. The policy holder is the only
one who may claim that"
What in thunder can | do?"
Go and make an arrangement with
your wife"

mo"
Then you don't know what you're
suggesting. 1t seems to me the only
thing can do at present is to guard
my health and keep her out of that
ten thousand until my lawyer can
tame her down enough to have a talk
with her."-New York Telegraph.

OFFICE CHAIRS FOR BORES.
Its Owner Declares 1t Saves Him
Thousands of Dollars.

"The time of almost every man in
active life is terribly taxed by useless
visitors" said a busy New Orleans
shipper. 81 mean people who come on
foolish errands, tedious friends who
drop in to chat and don't know when
to go, and the small army of agents,
canvassers, solicitors and the like,
who in the aggregate consume many
precious hours every day. / have a
scheme for disposing of such bores
that works to a charm.
The whole secret lies in that chair
beside my roll-top desk. It is very in
nocent-looking, as you will observe
but it has some marked peculiarities.
To begin with, it is firmly attached to
the floor, and is so placed that whoever
sits in it faces a food of light while
myself am in the shadow. Then, again,
the back is very straight and very mar
row; it has no arms, and the seat
pitches slightly forward, the front be-
ing half an inch lower than the rear.
1T is utterly impossible for any bore
to sit in that chair four consecutive
minutes. With female book agents it
IS peculiarly efficacious, for the simple
reason that such callers are generally
80 or over, and no woman of that age
can sit quiet in the glazing daylight
under the calm scrutiny Of a man in
the shadow. The coolest of them lose
their self-possession, twist, wriggle
and soon fly the spot Then, again, the
straight back and absence Of arm pre-
vent a graceful sidelong attitude with
out which no woman is able to con-
verse.
with male bores 1t is equally
deadly. All garrulous men either tilt
back when they are talking or lean for
ward impressively with their elbows
on their arms. The two poses seem to
be essential to a flow of language, and
neither of them is possible here. When
they find that the legs are attached to
the floor and search in vain for rest
for their elbows, they lose the thread
of their story, look miserable for a
moment, and then beat a retreat. The
pitch of the seat simply adds to the
general discomfort of the machine
One finds ones self continually sliding
off without knowing why. 1t is very
disconcerting. wouldn't take any
thing for that chair. II has saved me

sible feat-a few hundred men can al
most destroy great army.
Once the British gain the almost
level and almost open veldt over
which the two republics spread, the
beers have left two physical allies
famine and fire.
Water in south Africa is often as
precious as gold and sometimes in
finitely more precious. Every year wit
nesses a terrible drought in some part.
One may journey 100 miles on the
''Karoo" and never find a drop of
water. In johannesburg the writer
was glad to pay "a cents for a quart.
Nearly the whole city was drinking
bottled and imported mineral waters
at the time.
Scarcity of water is the curse of that
country. Every farmer maintains a
reservoir, but even these give out.
There are only two or three large
rivers in the whole country, and in
the dry season they degenerate into
shallow pools. These are called sans
and serve to quench the thirst of wild
animals. The Transvaal and Free
State are high plateaus that the sun
bakes to a crisp and where the water
evaporates as it falls
The beers, however, being thorough
iy acquainted with the country, have a
knowledge of the formation of the
rocks and plants and know where to
dig down few feet and get water In
this way command can always Sc
cure enough water to make coffee
their only drink. With coffee, bill
tong and mealies the boer can cam
paigD forever.
Coffee he drinks four times a day
and so hot that if thrown on a dog
it will take off his hair" Biltong is
strip of meat, buffalo, or OK or hart
beeste, dried in the wind or sun. 1t
seems to have peculiar nourishing
properties. Mealies are like our Indian
corn.
The boer starts off on a month S
hunting trip with knapsack full of
these commodities and gets stronger
every day. Tommy Atkins or any
other European soldier cannot do it.
Before the English can reach Pre-
toria they must fight over distance
as great as that from New York to
New Orleans. There will be no forage
no water, and the beers will harass
them by day and by night.
The other great physical ally of the
boer is the prairie fire. Nearly the
whole south African plateau is covered
with a long, slender grass, which, I'M
der that fierce sun, is often dry as
finder. Nothing can live in a veldt
fire, and in its passing it leaves a
desert. Under the cover of the smoke
that arises the beers can utilize that
strategy for which they are famous.

obliged to keep by his side, broom il
hand, to gather up the shells. Mr.
Hollis and his peanut-shelling became
nuisance. AT length the Capita
City club adopted resolutions fixing {
fine of % cents upon anyone who
crunched peanuts in the club. Mr.
Hollis paid it eagerly and crunched on
The offense was then made punishable
by dismissal. Mr.. Hollis fell under the
ban and was dismissed from the club
Other organizations followed suit.
Upon his social calls Mr.. Hollis
was always accompanied by his pocket
of peanuts, and while in the parlor his
fingers would nelvously crunch them.
His friends would demonstrate, saying
the lady of the house objected to the
shells on the carpet, and he would
promise not to offend again, only to
break his promise at the next call.
Consequently his invitations grew
fewer and fewer, and not even his
bachelor friends returned his calls. In
vitations were out for his marriage
last Christmas, but the wedding did
not take place, because Mr.. Hollis was
unable to shake off his desire for
crunching peanut shells, which was
made a condition.
Every other person refusing the
peanuts he would shell in the course of
the day, Mr.. Hollis ultimately got in
the habit of distributing them among
the lads at the cracker bakery. The
result of this habit sent several boys
to the hospital from overeating of pea
nuts and when they explained to their
parents where they got the peanuts
the boys were kept from the cracker
bakery. This resulted in the closing
of the bakery more than once for want
of boys and it's ultimate sale to Har-
per Worthington, the yankee who or
iginated the cracker dust scheme in
the Hollis cracker bakery.
Mr.. Hollis was regular attendant
at the Yardley Episcopal church, but
the cracking of peanuts spoiled many
a sermon and he was finally asked to
leave. He tried the Salvation Army
and was requested to stop Smelling
peanuts or get out Of the barracks on
East Hanover street, which he did.
Mr.. Hollis says he has honestly
endeavored to discard the peanut and
that in the hope of being able to do so
he has worn woolen gloves tied at the
wrist, but when the nervous passion
seized him he would rip the gloves
from his hands and take up the pea
nuts. He has, he says, locked himself
in his room three or four miles from
any peanut stand and been unable to
rest a minute until he could secure a
few peanut shells-Trenton Letter to

MEN TO DO SEWING.
Employed as Operators in Place of
Girls and Women.

Owing to the scarcity of female sew.
ing machine operators, Wise Brothers
of Baltimore have decided to employ
more men in their factories. Already
the firm employs about $50 men. Men
are said to be better adapted to hand
ling some of the heavy articles of
clothing made in the factories. Boys
over Is years Of age soon acquire, it
is said, the ability to operate a sewing
machine and make various ornaments.
1t has been observed that the men
make good operators, and not infre-
quently their weekly wages exceed
those paid the women and girls. All
the employees are paid according to the
number of pieces made. The girls and
women average, it is stated, from IS to
$40 a week, while the men and boys
average from So to $40. There are
about 1850 girls and women employed
in the Wise factories, which are oper-
ated 10 hours a day.

HONORED BY LAMP-POSTS.

There are several curious features
in the local government Of Edinburgh,
not the least strange being the lamp
post dignity conferred on the leading
civic officials. In order to impress
upon the public the Importance of the
lord provost two lamp-posts, each
within the city arms, are erected out
side his residence. The bailies, the
dean of guild, the covener and the
treasurer are only "a little lower" than
theprovost, for they each have one
special lamD-post to tighten up the
precincts of their residence.
