WANTED LIFE INSURANCE.
A Chinaman's Queer Notion of the
Ben eff u to BE Derived from
a Policy.

A New Orleans lawyer told the
T'res-Democrat this yarn:
had a Chinese client who went
.-ome on a visit, leaving his laundry in
charge of his brother. When he re-
turned he was promptly ordered off the
premises. His brother had coOlIy APP
propriated the business and swore he
would kill him unless he made himself
scarce. The dispossessed gentleman
called on me the next day. and, after
hearing his story, | advised him to get
out warrant Immediately, but he
shook his head at the suggestion, and
said in pigeon English that he wanted
to have his life insured for $4,000. |
was astonished. What Oh earth put
that into your head?' asked. so they
makee ale time some watch he re-
piled. After great deal of cross-ques-
tioning got at his scheme. He had in
some manner conceived the idea that
insurance companies did everything
possible to prolong the lives of their
policy holders, and it followed quite
naturally that if they had $4,000 at
stake they would take particular pains
to see that he wasn't hurried into the
hereafter by his wicked brother. In
other words they would 'makee some
watch and being frugal gentlman, it
struck him as cheap way of securing
body guard. He was greatly disap-
pointed when l explained that the
companies let their clients take their
! own chances, and it evidently inn
/ messed him as most unbuSineSS1il<e

wicked brother was still holding the
