Suicide no Defense.

The United States supreme court has
handed down an opinion sustaining the
validity Of the Missouri statute OF 1873
providing that suicide shall not be a
defense against the payment OF life
insurance policy. The opinion was
rendered in the case of the knights
Teinplars and Masons' Life Insurance
Company vs.. Rosa B. Jarman, the
polio MISUNDERSTANDING ) upon the life of
] ohm P. Jarman. husband Of Mrs. Rosa
Jarman, who, while insane, took his
life in Grundy county. Missouri, in 1898.
The decision of the circuit court of ap-
peals sustained the law and held the
company liable for the amount Of the
policy, regardless of the fact that the
policy contained chance for the avoid
ance of the payment in case OF suicide.
"whether voluntary or involuntary,
sane or insane" This decision was
affirmed by the supreme court.

Of the strain.
We. wenI creeping along very slowly
and cautiously about as fast as " man
could svalk in the dark, over a. road
which the train men ali knew to be
dangerous A little later we reached a
station however, ,and there they procured
torches for the front and rear Of the.
train and they gave us a small smoking
lantern inside of our car. The torches
were heavy rope, evidently soaked in
oil or tar, and it untwisted by slow de-
grees as it burned.
We did not proceed much more rapid.
ly after the torches were added than
we did before, but we finally reached
Coonoor alters O'Clock ut night where
as we were due there at 1920 p. IN.
These trips up and down the hill should
always be made in daylight, and as this
was the first break on the line they
were wholly unprepared SO far as lights
were concerned. My friends in CAL
cutta had sent kilograms and letters
ahead and engaged place for me with
DR.. and Mrs. McLaurin, American Bap-
tist missionaries. They are very fine
old people and have been in India for
years. Mrs. Mcl.aurin soon gave us
something to eat, and as we were cold
and hungry, we went to bed at once
Miss G@ibert, my nurse went to sleep,
but !, either from nervousness or Weari-
ness did not sleep at all. did not get
up the next day, but each cay since
that bave been improving and am
able to be up about halt of each day.
This is an ideal place in which to rest
and get strong. The climate is delight
full. 1t is cool without being chilly and
penetrating. The house is quiet, and
everything outside is quiet, except the
sound of waterfall near by.
| am seally quite we'll but not very
strong. In another week or. more |
suspect,l shall feel as though had run
away frbm my work. do not expect
to return until late in December, and |
shall attend the Decennial conference
lin Madras, beginning on December IL,
if am we'll enough. | hope to be able
for my work when school re-opens in
January.
| wish you to give my kind regards to
Mr.. and Mrs, Billy Brown, and tell
them Lam nicely situated in this hill
station Nfrn Baptist friends. The only
other guests in this houseS is Miss
Booker, Baptist missionary, who re.
minds me somewhat of Cousin Olive
and who is somewhat like Fannie Per-
kins as for strength and energy. She is
here for the rest, and since Miss Gilbert
has gone, has rather taken charge of
me, as if she was responsible for my
recovery, and as if it must be accomp-
lished soon. 1t is comfortable to have
such person around.
