In spite of the biblical blessing of the
man who l%nterferes to stop a auarrel,
1t frequently happens that the peace
maker, In the present stage of civiliza-
ton, fares worse than the original con
testants. Witness, for instance, the
recent shooting ARRAY In which two
men were fatally and one seriously
wounded. A prominent merchant was
In a restaurant eating his lunch when
a party Of drunken men entered and
began to make Objectionable remarks.
He objected. A fight ensued. 1t hap
pened that a deputy sheriff was in the
room, and he e~ndeavored to Interfere
and put an end to the trouble. The
prominent merchant, however, felt ag-
grieved at his interference and drew his
revolver and began shooting. While
the bullets were flying a well-known
physician, who also happened to be in
the room, rushed in to separate the
men. Meanwhile the deputy sheriff. as
n measure Of self-defense, had pulled
his own weapon and turned II loose"
When the smoke had blown away If
was found that of the three men the
merchant and the physician were ia
tally wounded, while the officer of the
law was seriously wounded. AS for
the drunken men, who were the original
u of the whole controversy, they
seem to have escaped scot free. 1t is
notorious that persons who interfere
in family quarrels invariably fare
worse than any of the actual parties
to the controversy, and instances are
frequent where men who seek peace"
are turned upon and beaten by both of
the men whom they have attempted to
separate. 1t takes some courage to
pick a quarrel, but 1t takes much more
to attempt to stop one after it has be-
gun.

An American laundry-machine COM
pany has recently shipped a complete
steam-laundry plant to Vladivostok,
Eastern Siberia. 1t will be capable of
handling 1000 pieces of linen a day,
and will consist of washers, centrifugal
wringers and a large mangle. This is
said to be the first introduction of such
an equipment into that region. If so,
1t is doubtless a case of Wiring out

The genius Of ~Americanism, as exem-

CARLYLE AND DIsRAELL

Jew had disarmed his bigotrv and
changed his insulting prejudice into
gratitude and respect.
Disraeli, whom he had often reviled

70 know how bitterly Carlyle despised

looked on him and passed by on the
other side. But a certain Samaritan as
he journeyed came where he was and
when he saw him ne mad compassion
on him. And gave him two pence and
said to a hotelkeeper: Take care Of
him." Which, now, of these three was
nelghbor unto him that fell among
thieves2 So runs the chronicle IN the
book of Luke, the tenth chapter. Chi
cago furnishes a revised version of the
good Samaritan. At a much frequented
street corner a citizen was informed
that a man had fallen among thieves,
who had lured him to a vacant lot and
after robbery left him wounded and
half dead. His condition was carefully
contided to the Samaritan by a trusty
confederate, who, when the Samaritan
was engaged In ascertalnlng the extent
of the injuries of the fallen victim, as
sisted the latter to deliver telling blows
upon the head Of the Samaritan, whom
they relieved of his %valuables and left
In unconsciousness, while they escaped
with the personal effects of the good
Samaritan. The moral appears to be
that 1t Is wise not to be a neighbor I'M
der all circumstances without some pre-
liminary inquiry. To call the police first
will enable the contemporary Samari-
tan to perform his well-meant offices
more prudently as well as more eco
nomically.

1t is specifically held to be praise
worthy that the regular life insurance
companies stand ready to grant wha
are sometimes called generous sur.
render values to their policy holders
But II is still open to doubt, in the opin.
ion Of the Chicago Chronicle, if any
undue encouragement should be held
out to policy holders to r~enounc their
Insurance, no matter what the stress
of circumstance may afterward urge.
Life insurance is fundamentally and
mainly for the protection of the family.
and 1t would seem the part of wisdom
to make 1t difficult rather than easy for
an insurant eve to surrender his policy
The policy once given up, the protec-
ton Is, of course, gone, and often for
ever, for the nan who sells his life in
surance policy or borrOws money on II
does not usually reinsure again. The
money raised by the surrender or loan
goes, and then he finds it difficult either
to take a new policy or to repay the
amount borrowed. There Is a legal and
just surrender rate to which policy
holders are entitled, and this Is some
times set forth In the contract. But the
Insured man should rarely be encour-
aged to avail himself of its privileges
while any tendency to make it still cas-.
Ter for him by giving ampler surrender
rates is threatening alike to his fam
ily's welfare and the true PRINCIPLES Of
life Insurance. AS for any generosity
in this respect, that is n sad misnomer
Life insurance rightly conducted is n
matter of justice, equity and business
fair dealing, in which generosity can
play no part. The policy holder is NOT
asked to he generous, and the company
cannot be. 1t IS certainly anything hrt
a generous spirit that prompts a policy
holder, no matter how much he tbinks
he needs the money, to sacrifice the
financial safety of his family by surren-
dering his contract, and there can he no
generosity on the company side in en-
c~ouraging him in the lamentable act
