The Stock Policy.
To be continued.

Were 1t not for the fact that most people
who insure their lives know little except
what the agent tells them, 1t would be
surprising that stock companies have not
become more popular than they are.
Agents, OF course, sell rs far as possible
what brings the largest commissions, and
many companies encourage agents TO sell
stock policies only in competition, where
they can sell nothing else. Lite insurance
companies are not conducted for fun, and
this ought to be reasonable ground for be-
lievlng that these companies make more out
of participating than non-participating
business. From the policy holders stand
point the companies make more out of hi IN
on the one than they do on the other.
Mutually in life insurance has become
mostly myth, and 1t Is only question OF
time when disappointing tontine settle
ments and decreasing dividends will con-
vince intelligent insurers that the surest
dividends are those they can get in ad-
Udnce by retaining the difference between
participating and non participating rates.

The Courier
of the Gar
By Jules Verne

"Well, sire. an intelligent, courageous
courier
Il momentarily expect one."
"And it is to be hoped he will be ex-
peditious," added the chief of police,
for allow me to add. sire, that Siberia
is favorable land for rebellions."
All communication was interrupted.
Had the wires between Kalyvan and
Tomsk been cut by Tartar scouts, or
had the emir himself arrived in the
Yeniseisk provinces? Was all the low
er part of western Siberia in a fer
ment? Had the rebellion already
spread to the eastern regions? No one
could say. The only agent which fears
neither cold nor heat, which can nei-
ther be stopped by the rigors of winter
nor the heat of summer and which flies
with the rapidity of lightning-the cleo
tric current-was prevented from trav-
ersing the steppes, and it was no longer
possible to warn the grand duke, shut
up In Irkutsk, OF the danger threaten
ng him from the treason of Ivan Oga-
ref.
A courier only could supply the place
bf the interrupted electric current. 1t
would take this man some time to
traverse the $500 versts between Mos
BOW and Irkutsk. To pass the ranks of
he rebels and invaders he must dis
play almost superhuman courage and
Intelligence. But with clear head and
firm heart much can be done.

heartY' thought the car.

giving the letter to the young courier,

the eastern frontier of Siberia the dis
patch service was performed by cou-
riers, those who travelled the most rap
idly taking eighteen days to get from
Moscow to Irkutsk.
In the first place, however, he must
not travel rs a courier of the car usu-
ally would. No one must even suspect
what he really was. Spies swarm in a
rebellious country. Let him be recog-
nized, and his mission would be in dan
ger. Also, while supplying him with a
large sum of money, which was suffi-
cient for his journey and would facili-
tate it in some measure, General Kis-
soft had not given him any document
specifying that he was in the emperor's
service, which is the sesame par ex-
cellence. He contented himself with
furnishing him with podorojna.
The podorojna was made out in the
name of Nicholas Korpanoff, merchant,
living at Irkutsk. 1t authorized Nicho-
las Korpanoff to be accompanied, If
requisite, by one or more persons, and.
moreover, it was by special notification
covite government forbidding natives
Of any other countries to leave Russia.
The podorojna Is simply permission
to take post horses, but Michael Stro-
goff was not to use 1t unless he was
sure that by so doing he would not ex-
cite suspicion as to his mission-that Is
to say, while he was on European ter.
ritory. The consequence was that in
Siberia. while traversing the insurgent
provinces, he wsuld have no power
ever the relays either in the choice OF
horses in preference to others or in de-
handing conveyanees for his personal
use. Neither was Michael StrogoR &c

Michael Strogoff, however, had nei
tAer caAaaA hsr hersemen nor foot sol
diers nor beasts Of burden. He would
travel in a carriage or on horseback
when he could. on foot when he coult
not.
There would be no difficulty in get

lance between Moscow and the Bus
sian frontier. Railroads, post carriages

every ones disposal and consequent,
at the disposal Of the courier Of tn

Of Modus 0psrandi.
(special b u Herald.l

Washington. May 14.-Charman
Lacey Of the house lands committee
today received letter from Governor
Wells in reply to his recent inquiry for
information regarding the Teasing of
public lands. Governor Wells stated
that practically ali the public lands in
Utah are mountain grazing lands.
agricultural land. ali those for which
water for irrigation is available hav-
ing been entered heretofore.
The rental Of grazing lands is now
liked at not less than 4 pc. cent DER
annum on the appraised valuation.
which ranges from a few cents to 81
or 81. There are now under lease 40
2'l acres. the average rental being AZ
cents per acre.
There was a decrease Of about 10 per
cent in area leased in 1901 as compared
with the year previous, leases ranging
IN area from forty to 1900 acres, with
an average at $40 acres to individuals
the lessees in most Instances being
hockmasters. Under the prevailing
system they acquire exclusive control
Of shearing and Landing grounds while
their sheep feed on the public range.
The leases extend over a period from
one to twelve years. There is a tend
eney towards longer terms Of lease,
lessees alleging that short term leases
do not warrant them IN paving ex-
penses necessary to protect and i'm
prove the range. As the state lease
law has been in operation but three
or four years. Governor Wells was I'M
able 10 say whether or not any ma
tefiai Improvement in the production
of grass has been made in these lands.
he presumes, however. that such i'm
provement has taken place in the lands
embraced in loRg-term leases.

Admonitory rumblings and earth
ouakes in the vicinity of SoUfriere came
two weeks ago. on Monday, May 8.
the lake in the old crater became great
" disturbed. On Tuesday, at o'clock
in the afternoon, the mountain began
series Of volcanic efforts. Severe earth
quakes accompanied these terrible
noises. and decorations succeeded
quickly. At Z o'clock in the evening an
immense column Of steam issued from
the crater. and lasted until mhiniht.
Terrific explosions followed on Wednes-
day morning. and at o'clock there was
another sudden violent escape of steam.
This assembled for three hours. when
other material was elected.
At noon three craters appeared to
open. and began to vOmit lava. Six
streams at once ran down the sides OF
the mountains, making an awful scene.
The mountain labored heavily for half
an hour after the appearance of lava.
Fire flashed around the edges Of the
sraters. and there were tremendous de-
donations in succession, and rapidly
merging into a continuous roar.
This lasted through Wednesday night
and until Friday morning. The thun-
derinss of the volcano were heard
throughout the Caribbean sea. The
eruption began Wednesday. A huge
cloud Ia a dark and dense column,
charged with volcanic matter, rose to
a height of eight miles from the noun
tain top. Darkness like midnight de-
scended, and the sulphurous air was
laden with fine dust. A brief rain fol-
lowed, a rain Of favilla, IscOriae, rocks
and stones.
