WEAKNESS OF HUMAN NATURE
According to the Idea Of an lnsur'
ance Agent Who Was Inter.
ested in the Fire.

"Talk about the frailties of human ma
ture," said well-known insurance agent the
other day, relates the Kansas City Journal,
mo one else has so good an opportunity to
discover them as an insurance man. An in:
cident occurred a few days ago that showed
me a side of neighbor's character which
I had never suspected to exist. A fire broke
out in his home, and, do you know, that
man went three blocks to telephone to re-
port it, when there was phone right in his
house.
II saw the fire soon after it started, and
rushed to give assistance. It was while help:
ing to pack the things out that discovered
the phone, and turned in the alarm. Now,
it takes strong stretch of the imagination
to believe that the owner had forgotten
there was telephone in his house. That he
should have acted as he did undermines
ones faith in people in general.
think of it. There was sweating and
endangering my life to save his property,
while he was anxious, evidently, to have it
burn. Such conduct doesn't encourage one
to exert himself for others
"By the way" interrupted listener, "did
any Of your companies hold policy on that
house?"
'Now, you are asking leading question:"
replied the insurance man, with guileless
smile. "What I am saying is that the &C.
tions of that man are sad commentary on
human nature"
