IN reference to women acting as notaries public Attorney Gen. eral Geo. w. Murphy says: My opinion to the effect that woman could not be a notary public was based on the provisions of the constitution. Of course, I may be wrong. Be this as it may it is now as it was then my view that her right to hold the position could be attacked only by the direct proceeding of quo waranto and that her act in the mean time would be valid"

THE Kansas City Star gives the following as the important
 facts of life ins urance: Life in- surance was practically unknown
 in the United Stated 60 years ago. The first policy issued in this
 country was in 1842 for S5, 1000, upon which the annual premium S1O8.5O. In ten years the amount of capital invested in the business was 10 million dollars, in thirty years to 136 million dol lars, in forty years 340 million dollars, in fifty years to 600 million dollars, and in the last ten years it has increased until it IS greater than all the capital in- volved in the bushes in the pre- vious years. The largest single policy in the United States is held by George K. Vanderbilt, and it is for one million dollars. The largest aggregate sum for which one individual is insured is two and one-half million dollars. John Wanamaker is the insured person for this enormus amount.

Odd Fhncies That Are Frequently
Manifested by Boys and
Girls.

There is a time in n child's life
when his Imagination becomes cosmic,
and deals, according to his tempera-
ment, luridly and terribly or genially
and grotesquely with vast subjects,
says the Boston Transcript. There
was once a boy who, at the age of
about eight or ten years, lay awake
nearly all one night trying to think
what it would be like if there were
no worlds-if there were nothing at
all. He thrashed in bed from side
to side, getting rid of himself, re-
solving the world to globes, to va
por, 10 a point-and at last he sue
ceeded in making the point vanish,
and then he uttered an awful, blood
curdling scream, and his mother came
running and the world was restored.
1t took the boy n long time to get
over his experiment; perhaps he has
never entirely got over it.
This boy is now man. and has
boy Of his own who is seven years
old. The other day the father was
little surprised by having this boy
ask him; Papa, what would it be
like if there wasn't any world?" AS
the boy is Of a genial and happy tenn
perament, and never has been allowed
10 let his mind roll on such awful
subjects as were the childish pabu-
lum of his father-damnatio and the
dead and such things-the father did
not worry about any midnight visions.
But something did happen-only it
wasn't that. An evening or two later
the boy and his smaller sister. lying
in separate beds in one room. were
heard 10 be conversing cheerfully
rather long time after they had gone
to bed. and the father went up and
asked them what they were talking
about. The boy answered:
eve were talking about how nice
it would be if there were two worlds
that had chain running between
them, and the monkeys on one world
came over on the chain and played
with the monkeys on the other
world"
The father in his mind made note of
the fact that this was a fancy of
sort that had never occurred to him
in the whole course of his minds cos

The State and Naval Militia.
Michigan is very proud Of the MILL

Enlargement OF State Board of Correc-
tions and Charities.
Because of the greater responsible
ties imposed upon and the additional
work required of the state board OF
corrections and charities, and because
there is need Of the services of a
woman in this important part Of the
state machinery, the enlargement Of
the membership of this board by one
is advised. 1t should be provided that
one of the members of this board be q
woman. While speaking of the state
board of corrections and charities,

AN APT ANSWER.
One That silenced n Bragging skip
per who Lacked in
Courage.

The dangers associated with the
fishing industry on the Newfoundland
banks are many and grave. Foremost
among them is that the dories may be
upset while fishing. which involves the
almost inevitable loss of their occu-
pants. Callous captains. secure them
selves from the necessity of going. fre-
quently order their men out when the
weather does not warrant il and disas-
ters are the result. One of these brutal
shippers was aptly answered last year
by banlman. of whose courage or ca
pacity there was no question, relates
the Little Chronicle.
"Out with YOU" shouted the captain.
"Hurry up there. It's a fine fishing
day."
"Oh, no, skipper" replied the dory-
man. Its too stormy to-day for boat
20 fish"
Nonsense, man." reioined the skip
per. "If NY old grandmother from
Provincetown was here to-day she'd
get her dory out"
"Then, skipper said the man, eff her
grandson will come out with me now
I'll haul my trawl"
IT is needless 10 say that no dories
were launched from the schooner on
that date.

equality now prevailing, the hands Of
the legislature being tied just as firmly
as before. Why will it not be better
to set aside per capita income for the
primary school fund. devoting the ex-
cess of tax collected from the so-called
specific tax properties to the general
fund. and thereby relieve the proper
ty which alone contributes to the gen.
eral fund at this time. If this propo-
sltion meets the view of the legisla-
ture, constitutional amendment
should be submitted limiting the
amount the state is required to pay
to the primary schools to some
certain portion of the tax collected
from the corporations now paying spe-
ciic taxes. the remainder to be COW
cred into the general fund of the state.
Economy.
In calling your attention to economy
in the conduct of public affairs, l ad-
wise the practice of an economy OF the
kind which appeals to every business
man, farmer and householder. 1t is
of no value to secure fair and equal
assessments If the expenses of the
state are not brought to an economical
basis, and it should be borne in mind
that appropriations regulate the tax
rate. The appropriations should be
such as will commend themselves to
the people as necessary, and if the af-
fairs of the commonwealth are con-
Quoted along this line the people will
congratulate themselves upon having
wise government.
AS a step in the direction of true
economy, all my appointees are re-
quested TO remember Lansing is the
established seat Of government and
that their offices must be maintained
here as contemplated by law

WHITE GIRLS ARRESTED

dareu take issue with the judges of the
Delaware courts while testfying i'm the
Smyrna election cases, and say that cleo
tions in Delaware were stolen, and She
really had no government, yesterday
swore out warrants for the arrest of two
pretty white girls, the daughters of Theo-
dore T. Cook, wel-known citizen.
Mr. Cook owns a fruit farm near town,
and only a few hundred feet from the
State College for Colored Students. IN
order that his two grandsons might att
tend the school, Potts got "a license to
move into the house on Mr.. Cooks farm,
hearing that he proposed to vacate and
reside in town. Potts was to simply oc-
cupy a part Of the dwelling and keep the
rest in good order.
When the fruit season began Mr. Cook
thought he would move out for a few
weeks and enjoy, fresh from the or
chards, the products thereof The girls,
| they claim. found things in bad order
and, after cleaning up their portion of the
house, went into that occupied by Potts
and overhauled it.
Potts went to the orchard and began
picking peaches, but the family prompr
ly stopped him, and declared that was not
in the contract. Some corn was gathered
for dinner, and then it was Potts turn
and he hurried into Dover and had Mis-
Amy Cook arrested Tor trespass in going
into his part OF the house, and Miss Ell.
Cook arrested for the larceny Of the corn
which he claimed TO have planted.

any rent paid by Potts, and he merel
had license to live there as caretakeg
