1t is an interesting fact that, what
ever the reason may be, life insurance
is much more popular in the Uni1ed
States than in any other country. In
proportion TO their numbers the Amer
lean people carry twice as much life
insurance as the Britishers, five times
as much as the Germans and eight
times as much as the French.
This is partly explained by the large
number Of American policies issued to
serve other purposes than mere provi-
sion for the families Of the insured
The scope Of what may be called busi-.
ness as distinguished from family id
surance is constantly cnlarging. A nov
cl and interesting recent development
OF 1t is the Insurance Of the lives OF
Protestant ministers for large sums
which are made payable at their deaths
to their churches.-New York World.

The Odd Shillings.

There is very little difference be-
tween a pound and guinea; only a
shilling. and yet the keen business man
insists that the shilling shall be consid-
cred. After Thackerays series of lee
lures on the four Georges had been
delivered in London, Willert Beale
says that he called upon the novelist
in Onslow square with check for
1850.
"What's this, w. B.?" cried Thack-
cray, reading the check. Pounds?
Our agreement says guineas, and
guineas it must be-"
you are aware that the lectures so
far have involved very heavy losses"
said Beale apologetically.
'"That's not my affair."" said Thack-

it must be, and nothing else. l must

Mr.. Jones came home at an unseemly
hour the other night and was surprised
to see Mrs. Jones sitting up for him
below stairs, with no other light than
that of the gas lamp, which faced the
door, to keep her company.
'M-M Marie" he said huskily, ''y-you
shouldn't sit up slate when I'm out on
business"
AS Mrs. Jones did not answer hirn, he
continued in an alarmed voice:
"Shorry, m'dear, but it's last time
tell you I'm sorry-won't shpeak to
me?'
At this moment Mrs. Jones called
from above stairs:
''Mr. Jones, who are you talking to
mt this hour Of the night?"
"Thash what I'd like to know

twenty-five miles from the near

am fovored with the custom of
farmers within radius of thirty
miles, to many of whom l have

All testify to their value in a

The Home Gold Cure
An Ingenious Treatment by which
Drunkards are Reing Cured Daily
in Spite of Themselves.

No Noxious Doses. No Weakening of
The Nerves. A Pleasant and Posi-
tive Cure for the Liquor
Habit.
1t is now generally known and un-
derstood that Drunkenness is disease
and not weakness. A body filled with
poison, and nerves completely shatter-
ed by periodical or constant use of in
toXicating liquors, requires an anti
dote capable of neutraliZing and eradl-
eating this poison, and destroying the
craving for intoXicants. Sufferers may
now cure themselves at home without
publicity or loss of time from business
by this wonderful "HOME GOLD
CURE" which has been perfected after
many years of close study and treat
ment of inebriates. The faithful use
according to directions of this wonder
ful discovery is positively guaranteed
TO cure the most obstinate case, no
matter how hard a drinker. Our rec
ords show the marvellous transforma-
ton of thousands of Drunkards into
sober, industrious and upright men.
WIVES CURE YOUR HUSBANDS!
CHILDREN CURE YOUR FAITH
ERS!! This remedy is in no sense a
nostrum but is a specific for this dis
ease only, and is so skilfully devised
and prepared that it is thoroughly SOL
uble and pleasant to the taste, so that
it can be given in a cup Of tea or coffee
without the knowledge of the person
taking it. Thousands of Drunkards
have cured themselves with this price
less remedy, and as many more have
been cured and made temperate men
by having the "CURE" administered
by loving friends and relatives with
out their knowledge in coffee or tea,
and believe today that they discontin-
ued drinking of their own free will:
DO NOT WAIT. DO not be deluded
by apparent and misleading Improve
ment." Drive out the disease at once
and for all time. The "HOME GOLD
CURE" is sold at the extremely low
price of One Dollar, thus placing with
in reach of everybody treatment
more etfectual than others costing $50

Columbia, Miss, Oct. "a.
"Bill' Morris, the negro who,
while her back was turned,
clutched by the throat Mrs.
John Ball of Ball Town, La,
dragged her from her home,
criminally assaulted her, knocked
her on the head with a buldgeon
and left her for dead by the road
side last night at O'Clock was
overtaken by posse at his home,
four miles from Ball Town, later
in the night. kept under guard
until this morning, brought back
to Ball Town today, and, alter
freely and fully confessing that
he committed the crime with
which he had been charged, was
taken to the scene Of the assault,
bound with chains to a sapling
and burnt at the stake.
Rarely if ever has this commu-
nifty been so stirred with indIg-
nation as it has been by this ne
gro's crime.
The moment the news OF the
assault circulated public senti-
ment was inflamed, and it grew
steady in intensity until the ne
gro paid with his life the penalty
for his crime. After accom-
plishing his purpose, Morris re-
turned to the store from which
he had dragged Mrs. Ball. col
lected the change that was in the
cash drawer, put coal oil on his
feet to conceal his trail and made
off as swiftly as he could toward
his home, four miles from Ball
Town.
His victim whom he had sup
posed was dead, recovered con-
seriousness and succeeded lin
reaching herf father-ln-law's home.
The alarm was promptly given
and the neighbors gathered and
began to search for the negro.
He was traced to his home, and
while attempting to escape was
wounded in the hip by member
of the posse.
When captured, Morris impli-
Gated two other negroes, neigh
bors of his, in the crime. In or
der to learn the whole truth, the
captors decided to hold Morris
until today and to examine the
negroes who were thought to be
partners of Morris in the crime.
Investigation made this morning
proved conclusively that the two
negroes mentioned by Morris
were absent from the scene of
the assault when it was com nit
ted. An alibi in each case was
esta blished. When this was
proven, Morris confessed that he,
and he alone, had done the deed.
He pleaded in defense that he
needed the money and that know
ing Mr.. Ball was absent in Co
1um bia he had entered the store
and assaulted his victim.
While riding in a wagon from
his home to Ball Town, accom-
panied by his captors, Morris
confessed the details of his crime.
Arriving in Ball Town, the cap
tors took their prisoner to the
scene of the assault and made
ready to burn him at the stake.
Morris was bound to sapling
near the roadside and his body
was plastered with tar and pitch.
Pine nots and pine straw were
piled about his feet and round
his body. His frame from head
to heels was then saturated with
coal oil.
Before the torch was applied
ITO the pile Morris was asked if he
desired tomake statement. He
replied in the negative, saying
that he had already confessed his
guilt and it was unnecessary to
talk. While being bound to the
stake Morris was stolidly indif-
ferent, and even when the flames
licked his body he refrained
from uttering word. The

Caught in a bear trap on the banks
Of the Athabasca, near Milford, Me-,
John Mcleod, a lumber scaler, was
obliged to take out his jackknife and
cut off his leg. The trap was too heavy
to move and was sprung in such a way
that he could not reach over and re-
lease it. He was far from any human
being, and the only way out of it SEEM
ed to be to cut off the leg.
That was done easily, because the les
upon which he operated was of wood.
But when he stumped back to camp II
made him mad to hear the jeers of the
French Canadian cook of the lumber
crew.
"Why you no take off you whole
wood laig, ali? You get out UNI thrap
and no Spite you wood laig tall, ah|
Such a way out of his difficulty had
not occurred to Mcleod before.
