The annual convention of the State
Association of Farmers Mutual Fire In

held in st. Paul at the state house this
afternoon. Over 100 delegates have al
ready arrived in the city and many more
are due to arrive, as the association is
made up of 127 local organizations
A. D. Stewart, president of the asso-
citation, was seen at the Clarendon hotel

what will be done at the convention
THE main object of our meeting to-
CARNATIONS a chance to compare notes
on work done the past year. You must
understand that the Cyclone State asso-
c1ation and the Hail State association
will also be represented today. We are
now thinking seriously of launching
creamery fire insurance company. This
has been under consideration for some
time, but it was necessary that we first
secure the requisite number of risks. BY
law we must secure from $50 900 to $75 900
with an aggregate amount of $685. 900. We
hope to fix this up today
when 1 say that we will compare
notes it will be to a large extent about
such matters as the above. We intend
to consider proposed legislation, of
which L do not care to speak now, and
We will attempt to have all local COM
panies adopt the same form of policy
with the same bookkeeping as the in
surance business is now. Some local
companies have different rates to others,
and many differences arise that should
be adjusted.

from Como avenue to Front street
with asphalt, and the passage OF
the preliminary orders calling for the

lively passages between a delegation of
Rice street property owners, headed by
Nicholas Pottgieser, ]. NJ. Heck and ].

favored the passage of the orders.
The delegation, of which Mr.. Pottgieser
was the spokesman, was decidedly oppos-
ed TO asphalt as being at variance with
the value of the property to be benefited,
and this called forth some caustic re-
marks from Aid. Murphy, who Informed

young sailor has brought with him is

seizes eagerly to place on the mantel-

dropped into a tall Chinese jar which,
for the time, the tale leaves it. Next

For moment or two the girl was too

So Norah went in deepest sorrow for
the man who was proving himself so
truly her friend.
For the next week there was a lull in
the happening Of events. Gaskeu duly
inserted an advertisement calling on
Wang-Ho to make an appointment for
the exchange of the golden IDOL for Leon
ard Jayne. But no answer appeared. At
this the lawyer was in no way surprised
He was under no GelIsion in regard to
the scrt of people he had to deal with.
He quite expected TO find them practiccd
hands; and it was not likely they were
going to rush blindly into any trap he
chose to prepare for them. So he bided
his time in patience, content to make his
next move dependent upon theirs.
In the meantime Gen Burnley grew
more and more attached to his Boo
jun. His fancy for it had grown into a
passion. There on it's high shelf 1t
grinned, and for something like two
hours day the general stood and grin
ned back at IT in mute alteration and
satisfaction at his possession of it. 1t
was the presiding deity of lis home for
the moment until a new idol should
usurp it's place So far it's proprietor
ship had been to him nothing but a
source of keen qualification.
AS soon as Teddy heard of the Boo
jum's sale he set out for the general s
house on the same errand as that on
which Norah had preceded him. Again
the old man resolutely refused to part
with his treasure, and Mr. Teddy was
obliged to return discounted. He could
not understand what had induced Norah
to sell it. And when, through Fancy, he
arrived at the truth, Mr. Vyse expressed
himself a deeply hurt that in such an
emergency he should not have been ap-
piled to, and took full advantage of the
oppoNUnity to assure Fancy Of the far
reaching nature Of his friendship for her
and her family. He was only content
when she promised on any future occa-
sion of the kind that he should be allow
ed to put his hand in his very amply
filled pocket. Had he had the faintest
notion of these poor peoples desperate

were in the hands of so rapacious a
bloodsucker a Eli Marks, he would, it Is
safe to say, have made very short work
of that and the other numerous claims
that pressed
AS it was he went off intent on hunt
ing the Fletmouth slums until he should
find Philip. Then he would make it
worth that young mans while considera-
bly, to increase the distance at present
existing between himself and his family,
and having increased it to maintain it.
But. as already explained, Philip had
taken his departure on his own account.
for reasons which. to judge from his note
to Norah. had raen sufficiently cogent.
