Maceabees Charged BY the Kansas city
Court Of Appeals with violatihe the
Laws Of Missouri

Kansas City, No., Jan. 2l.-In an
opinion written by Judge Broaddus,
Of the court Of appeals, the knights
Of Maccabees, a fraternal beneficiary
society, was given a scathing rebuke.
The case was that Of Faanie Brass
field against the KNIGHTS of Macca-
bees, appealed from Putnam county.
Pearly Brassfeld. the plaintiffs hus-
band, had a $4,000 policy. Brassfeld
committed suicide December o. 1899,
and the society refused to pay the
policy on the plea that Brassfeld had
agreed that the policy should be void
provided he committed suicide with
IN FIVE years after the issuance Of the
certificate. He took his own life
within the five years. Judge Broad
dus quotes the insurance law of Mis-
souri, that provides that it shah be no
defense that the insured committed
suicide, unless it can. be shown that
he contemplated suicide Ut the time
he made the application for insur-
ance, sand any stipulation in the pol
icy shall be void" AnOiher Significant
paragraph in the opinion is that the
knights of Naccahees were doing
business in the state ns a fraternal
beneficiary association without com
plying With the laws Of the state.
fhe court says: "Its officers thereby
violating a penal statute at the same
time, n should be held strictly ac-
countable." Finally Judge Broaddus
calls attention 10 the duty of the
courts ito protect the citizens from
the acts Of irresponsible corpora
tions." Mrs. Brassfeld was given
judgment in the lower court and the
judgment was affirmed by Judge
Broaddus.

The Morals of Animals.

1t may be questioned whether ami
mails have any conception Of morals
as we understand the term, but In a
general sense it would certainly seem
that they have. In the social sense
there is no doubt as to the answer. To
take a we'll known instance, the ant
family have evolved most complicat-
ed social system which apparently
works to perfection, and that is more
than can be said for any human sys-
tenn. In order. cleanliness, care of off
spring, provision for future wants and
military discipline no civilized society
can compare with theirs. They are
Shareholders, it is true, but they treat
their slaves with every kindness and
consideration, and the warrior ants de-
fend them in time of danger.
Another excellent example is fur
nished by the beaver. During summer
it leads solitary life, but at the ap-
proach of winter communities are
formed, building operations commence,
stores are laid up as soon as the dwell
ings are completed, and every individual
of the community recognizes clearly
that the interests Of the family and
the colony come first. In their family
life they. in common with many other
animals, offer an example which might
we'll be copied not only by savages, but
also by civilized communities.

An Oddly of Lost Caste.

1t is not necessary to go to India to
bear curious stories of caste. In pro-
feEEonal mans household recently a
m&idservant fell i'll Of diphtheria. Her
mistress nursed her herself through q
tedious illness until she was quite well.
When that happy result was establish
ed, the maid Immediately Informed the
mistress that she intended to leave her
service. The reason of the maids de-
parture was this-"I could not live with
a mistress who has been waiting on
me herself" Quite evidently this is not
mere Indifference to kindness or in
gratitude. The girl was the slave of
that mysterious influence of caste
which splits up into minute sections
every modern society, as it split up ev-
cry ancient society, and seems likely to
split up any future society that it is
possible to imagine.-London Saturday
Review.

Beecher.s Open Hand.

An old member of Plymouth church
who knew Henry Ward Beecher and
his family tells a story about the
great preacher. 'No one ever knew
what he did with the vast sums of
money he earned az a lecturer" he
said. "He used to give money away
with both hands, and he was as likely
to give street beggar twenty dollar
bill as q dollar; but his salary from
Plymouth church went direct to Mrs.
Beecher intact. He never drew any
money from the church until the end
of the yea "'cl he received a check
for $4,000, his lull years salary, and
handed it to his wife. When he died,
he did not leave much of an estate, al
though be had earned millions of dol
lars in his life, but Mrs. Beecher had
always received her $4,000 a year, and
she lived in comfort and even luxury
in Brooklyn till she died. He was q
great man was Henry Ward Beecher."
