IN FAVOR OF THE CUBAN LOAN
Question Comes Up for Discussion in
the House of Commons at
Havana.

HAVANA, Sept. S.-The matter of Cuban
loans was discussed at length in the
House of Commons today. A majority Of
the members were clearly in favor of OBJ
tanning loan of SS5, ,OOO,O 900 and of giving
President Palma the option Of raising the
entire loan at once or OF raising 1t in two
parts OF $31 ,OO0,O 900 and $4,000. 900. 1t is
proposed that provision be made to meet
the interest on the loan and to establish
sinking fund by setting aside 10 per cent
of the customs receipts and by putting a
tax on alcohol. II is estimated that the
latter measure would produce 81, 500, 900.
The idea of establishing a lottery to meet
the loan has been abandoned. An amend
ment was introduced today to increase the
loan to $4,000 900 and to set aside specific
loans for interest and sinking fund.

gestion Of the Cincinnati Times-Star II

The memory OF President Mckinley will
be forever sacred to the American peo-

For many years life insurance COM
panies have been in the habit of insert
ing clause in their policies that the
death of the Insured by suicide rendered
the policy void. Many cases of that
kind have been contested by the COM
panies. In some instances they have
won and in others lost. On last Monday,
however, the Supreme Court of the
United States rendered decision which
settles the disputed point and removes
it from the field of future contention.
The validity of Missouri statute which
declares that suicide is not a bar to the
recovery of the money value of an insur-
ance policy was the case before the
court. In the policy contested under it
the provision was inserted that in case
of suicide, whether voluntary or involun-
tary, sane or insane, there should be no
recovery. Now that the highest tribunal
in the land has upheld the Missouri
statute, its introduction in other states
is likely to follow.

Brown and Black.

In one of the middle cities of the
United States there lived q local wit
and his favorite butt. Both were prom
inent clubmen and enlivened the same
social set. One was named Black and
the other Brown. Black was immacu-
late in his dress, while Brown was
careless, often wearing his finger nails
in mourning and an ecrute collar with
a full dress suit. But family connec-
tons excused his shortcomings. One
evening the pair arrived at reception
and met the hostess simultaneously.
The two names mentioned together
suggested a bonnet to Brown, but the
opening was disastrous.
''The colors are very much in evil
dence tonight" said Brown. +
To which their hostess replied, YES
l see they are, and, if rumor is to be
credited, they are fast colors." :
''No, no." broke in Black; Brown
won't wash. "-Argonaut.

The Enemies of Wild Sheep.

Wild sheep depend for greatest pro-
lection ON their climbing capabilities.
They travel where no man can follow,
and often in climbing use their knees
instead Of their fore hoofs. Their first
instinct at the approach Of an enemy
is to start for the mountain top, aiming
if possible to get above and keep above
the enemy.
Wolves, wolverines and eagles are
their most common enemies, and the
lambs suffer extensively from these
Wolves are capable of taking down
grown animals, but in summer hunger
seldom induces them to make the
struggle, and in winter they prefer
lower attitudes. There are many stories
told of the lordly ram doing battle
with wolves, which are on par with
the story of leaping from dizzy heights.
The old rams are cunning, and in this
lies their greatest safety. They are
perfectly at home on rocky lodges,
where the wolf is not, and if they can
gain such position they will, with
one charge, hurl the wolf to the rocks
below.-A. J. Stone in Outing.

The question of readiusting the rates
of assessment in the M. w. A. order is
one that will be voted on at the next
meeting of the head camp which will be
held in February and every Woodman
should take a personal interest in this
question. 1t is one of supreme import
ance and aims at the very foundation of
the order. 1t is proposed to make the
rates increase with the age of members,
instead of remaining the same as when
they joined. Our opinion is that there
should be no change made. We need
not cross any bridges until we come to
them. AS the death losses increase, and
they are bound to do so, more assess
ments per year may be levied. This will
make it equally fair to all. Not only to
those who are now becoming members,
but also to those who were in the van in
the beginning. The fundamental prin-
ciple OF fraternal insurance is that the
society's members. must pay the death
losses and expenses No matter what
plan society adopts this principle main
tains. The present plan of the NJ. w.
A. has stood the test of years and we see
no good reason for such radical change
as that proposed Mondovia Herald.

The recent biennial report of the Wis
consin Free Library Commission shows
a most striking development in a period
of less than two years. The total value
of gifts and requests, in sums of $500 or
more, amounted to S806,OO0, of which
Andrew Carnegie gave S467,O0O Three
new library buildings have been com
,pleted and seventeen more have been
lprovided for. Portage, Stoughton and
Sun Prairie have provided rooms for
their libraries in new city halls. Many
NEW libraries have been founded and the
Older ones are greatly improving the
character of their work. The larger Ii
braries are employing trained librarians.
The number of travelling libraries is
gradually increasing, but the officers of
the commission report that there is a de-
mand for hundreds of such libraries
which cannot be filled. These libraries,
with their cases, cost $50 each and the
money for them comes entirely from
private subscriptions.

noyed beyond measure by the slow, an
Gent methods provided by the postal
department for safe transmission OF

orders are inconvenient to both sender
and receiver. The Post Check Cur
rency system offers method that is alb
solutely safe and as convenient of execu-
ton as paying a nickel for a cigar.
Antiquities have no place in the modern
