Insurance Company's Extra Charge
Where Meters Are Not Used.

According to the Chicago Record-Herald,
the representatives of fire insurance COM
panies doing business In Indiana have de-
cided to recommend that an extra charge of
10 cents or each 800 be charged annually in
insuring dwellings where natural gas Is
used without meters. The recommendation
applies only to dwelling houses, as manu-
featuring Institutions and other property is
exempted by other sections of the recon-
mendation.
Thomas NJ. Goodloe. who is the local rep
resentative of the fire insurance companies,
says that the recommendation will have alb
s~Olutely no effect in Indianapolis. The Chi
cago board. ne says. has nothing to do with
indianapolis or Evansville, those two cities
being under the charge of two men special
~ appointed. II is said that the recon-
mendatiOn Is meant for the protection of
companies having heavy insurance through
out the gas belt. There have been many
fires in that section of Indiana and the
losses have been large.

Hire Your Eurs.

There will be snow soon," said a
bounder, ssand when it comes I'll
hire sleigh and a set Of furs and
take my best ginl out, dazzling her.
You didn't know, I guess, that you
can hire furs, did you? Well, you
can and crackerjacks, too big seal
skin caps with ear tabs, fur gloves
up to your armpits, fur collars up to
your forehead. There are half a
dozen pawnbrokers in this town that
will fit yo1sout with all those things
for an afternoon, and the price is
only bone. You put them on, and
as you spin along the park drive you
say to your girl: Z got these gloves
in Manitoba, a gift from my friend,
the mayor Of Dog Gulch. Il speared
myself the seal my cap is made from,
and Senator Pitcoe gave me the col
lar Pitcoe of Wyoming. Perhaps
you know him. The girl looks at
you. You resemble an Eskimo. She
counts the cost Of the furs and de-
cides it is young millionaire she's
up against. After that she's yours"

THE PRESIDENTS nJOLLY.

President Roosevelt received FIVE
Ute Indians the other day. They
had come to Washington on bust
ness connected with the disposition
Of mineral interests in their lands.
Only one of the redskins could speak
English, and the president tried in
vain to ssjolly" them. Everything
he said to them, through Martin
Van, who acted as an interpreter,
fell flat. The Indians simply gazed
at the chief executive with stolid
faces and gave absolutely no indica-
ton of interest. Finally in despera-
ton the president said to the inter
prefer:
Tell them that I had fifty In
dams in my regiment during the
war with Spain and that as fighters
they were crackerjacks. /"
The faces Of the members Of the
delegation frightened up at this,
and they nodded an earnest assent.
They left the executive office with
their faces wrinkled with smiles.
Agent Mynton, who had the Indians
in charge, said they had not smiled
from the time they arrived in Wash
ington until Mr.. Roosevelt paid the
compliment to their race as fighters.

which revives the response made by
the late venerable lawyer and dea-

kissing. The deacon's eyes twin

decided to escape from the rear.

the place the empress Of all the
