FIRE UNDERwR1TERs' MEETING.
Question of "MultipIe Agencies" VIII
BE Discussed in Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE,. August 30.-The fifth
annual convention of the National Associa-
ton of Local Fire Insurance Agents began
here today. About 1000 delegates from diff
ferent parts Of the United States are pres
ent.
One Of the most important subjects for
discussion will be Multiple Agencies" The
question has arisen within the past few
years. Formerly a company was repre-
sented in each city by one agent, but lat
terly from two to twenty in various cities
represent one company. Against this divis-
ion of districts there is decided opposition,
and the question will be thoroughly dis
cussed.

IMPROVING OLD HOUSES.

With the present overcrowding of al
most every vocation, credit is due to any
one who can strike out successfully into
new and original lines of business. A
bright little woman in a New England
town has hit upon novel and ingenious
way of making money.
Her plan is to buy some house which
is dilapidated and out of repair, but in a
trouble In finding such a house, or in
purchasing IL at a bargain. Then her
taste comes into play, devising repairs
ana improvements to the place, putting

an old rundown house to an attractive
modern dwelling.
She furnishes the house and lives there
ried into effect. She renders the place as
attractive as possible inside and out, not
at all because she means to stay there
put simply for selling purposes. That is
her speculation. Once her work is COM
pleted her house finds a ready purchaser,
owing 10 the taste displayed. She gener-
ally sells the whole house outright, fur
nished and all, at a handsome profit.
Then she searches out another house I'M
DER similar conditions, and does the thing
over again.
Living in the houses as she does during
the repairing period, she considers that
she IS rent free. Her lOcal reputation for
taste and good judgment in such matters
IS valuable aid in her business. She is

are transformed under her touch.

pretty rough country
After much difficulty 7 found a ne

There was no doubt about the rough
ness of the road. There were humps Of
rock and other kinds Of Jumps, and
part Of the way lay through a heavily
wooded country. The night was black
as pitch. My driver carried on q cheer
full conversation about men who had
been waylaid robbed and murdered
along this very road. and I hid my
$1,S00 in an inside pocket.
Suddenly there was a shout and a
curse and our horse was stopped by a
