cana Before They Can BE
Eligible.

A Cuban who applied for insurance
from a local company the other day al
most wept when told by the examining
physician that he could not insure
him, but that he should call again in
about two years. The agents had as
eured the Cuban that he would be a
first-class risk. In despair he went to
New York and confided his woes to
an old friend. who is the head Of the
firm for which he is the Philadelphia
representative, says the Times of that
city. The friend said:
"Since the Spanish war, when 50
many young men from Cuba and Porto
Rico have come here to engage in
trade, I have seen scores Of cases like
yours. You are killing yourself by
insisting on living in Philadelphia as
you did in Havana, Persons who come
to the United States to live, no mat
ter from what part Of the world, must
make certain concessions to climate.
You drink as much black coffee and
smoke as many cigarettes here as you
did at home. Very we'll, it will kill
you if you keep it up. Your insurance
man probably thought you we're con-
sumptive. Stop living like a Cuban in
Philadelphia; eat, drink and smoke as
men there do, and I will guarantee YOU
an insurance policy in less than two
years."

ROAD THAT HAS NO CURVES,
For F0rty-Five Miles the Khartouu
Railway in India Runs in
q Bee Line.

The Khartoum line leaves Wadi
1Ialfa and goes in a so~uthwesterly
direction through the Nubian desert
to Abu Hamed, which is $50 miles from
Wadi Halfa, says the st. James Budget.
The whole Of this part of the country
is a fiat, sandy desert, OCCASIONALLY a
few hills are seen, but seldom exceed
800 feet in height, and most of them
are only from 80 to 100 feet above
the surrounding country. Some idea
OF the extraordinary f1atness of the
country. says Engineering. may be
gathered from the fact that it was
possible to lay a piece of line As miles
long without a single curve in it, and
without any cuttings or entertainments
worthy Of the name. II very rarely
rains at all in this part Of the desert,
and when it does very little seems to
fall at time. There are no streams
or surface water of any sort. Water
was found in two places between Wadi
Halfa and Abu Hamed by sinking
wells; one place was ~ miles from
Wadi Halfa and the other was 1876
miles from Halfa. Water was found
at the former place at a depth of ~
feet and at the latter place at a depth
Of SO feet. Several other places have
been tried, but so far no water has
been found.

ALL HE NEEDED WAS TIME.
Railroad Ohicial Got even in a Game
of Poker by Prolonglng
journey.

Some years ago q man now way
up in railroad circles held q position
with the Central branch road, Just
big enough to enable him to take a
trip over the line now and then in
a special car, says the Kansas City
Journal. He was somewhat of a
poker player and occasionally would
invite some Of his friends who knew
the game to take a trip over the line
with him. On of the return trips
his friends were getting into him in
good shape. He was $500 or $500
loser.
The train was within II miles of
Atchison and he knew there was no
show for him to pull out even in the
time it would take to run in. So he
excused himself and went to the bag
gage a and pulled the air. The
train came to a stop. He talked with
h engineer for a few minutes.
Then he went back and resumed
playing. The train didn't move. The
friends asked him what was the mat
ter. He said that the engine had
slipped an eccentric and he had tele-
graphed to Atchison for another en-
CINE. In a couple Of hours, through
some plucky plays, the railroad man
got even with the game. Then he
stepped to the platform of the car
and yelled to the engineer: Run
like HI into town. I'm even with
the game"

HAVE TO BE ON TIME,
Why Suburbanftes Are So Particular
About the Accuracy Of Their
Watches.

"Before l became a suburbanite.'
said a mar who recently moved out of
town, according to the Philadelphia
Record, II used to note with consid-
cradle amusement the crowds of peo-
pie who every day would compare their
watches with the official timepiece to
be found in front Of several Chestnut
street jewelry stores. I used to re-
gard them as cranks when they would
say to each other: Right on the dot
or draw long faces over a difference
OF q: fraction of a minute. For my part
I was satisfied If: my watch kept de-
Gently good time. and never bothered

utes or % out~of the way. ..*
II haves since discovered that the
people I used to think were cranks
ere. really suburbanites, with trains to
think about. It hasn't taken me long
to discover the Importance of having
a watch exactly right, and after hav-
ing missed several trains I myself have
joined the crowds around the places
where the official time is kept"

FURNISHING SOUVENIRS


Hotels find that the furnishing Of
souvenirs to their patrons IL q very
large item OF expense, and in case
of the larger houses sometimes runs
into thousands of dollars . year.
These souvenirs consist principally
Of silver forks, spoons, s~altcellars
and such articles of table furniture
as are readily carried away without
attracting attention, says the New
York Herald.
The proprietors do not intend to
furnish these things to enable their
patrons to recall pleasant memories
of hospitality; but they do furnish
them, just the same. ,
The large hotels of the metropolis
are great sufferers, and are continu-
ally buying expensive tableware to
keep up the supply of souvenirs.
These things are not always taken
without the act being observed, but
it is not often policy to call attention
to the patrons penchant for relics
of his visit. If he is spoken to, it is
usually in the privacy of the mana
gers office.
A Pan-American exposition story Is
told that illustrates this habit, bTt
the same story has come from other
cities of great fairs. Two pupils
were telling their teacher Of pres
ents their parents had brought from
Buffalo.
Papa brought ME q nice silver
cup" said one. my name was on 1t.
and it said: For a good boy"
my mamma brought me a silver
spoon," said the other boy, "and on
it it said: 'Irouuois HOTEL" :;

Boots and Prosperity.

and himself a very acute a He
told me that long experience had
shown him that the sale of boots is

Of the country, SO far as the WORKING
classes concerned, says London
Truth. If things r going well peo-
pie buy new boots when their old
ones have worn out, If the. reverse.
they do not, but make shift without.
new purchases. And he instanced
Ireland, where he had a large trade
output, as an instance Of this. When,
therefore, I hear that the boot busi-
ness is not fourishing, I know what
thai" means Although it cannot be
said to be absolutely bad, yet there il
already q shrinkage in sales at home,
owing to the effect Of the war on the
resources Of the w~age-earning class.

TIE AMERICAN FARMER.
This Writer Calls Him q Reader, a.
Observer, 4 Politician and
4 Power.

When farming was conducted on q
small scale, limited to the mere eff
cheney of the farmer and his sons, it's
interests were narrow and it's circum-
stances mean, writes Frank NJ. Todd
in Ainslee's. Its rewards were So
meager that the "hired hand" was
often better off at the years end than
the man who owned the land, took
the chances and worried away his d.
gestion over the mortgage. The gen.
erous moods of nature were examples
too expensive to be initiated, and close
listed parsimony was exalted as the
chief of the virtues.
To-day that is changed over a large
area of the country. On the great
bonanza farms Of the west a man with
10000 acres under his care, and hun
dreds Of men in his employ, il a figure
of Importance. His intimate concern
with the worlds affairs makes him .
reader, an observer, often q politician
and a power. Even 10000 acres is too
small for him to confne himself to.
His great business demands that he
travel. He must 60 to Duluth, to Min
.neapolis, to Chicago, to Buffalo and
to New York. A small mistake. q
failure to sell at the right time, or to
discard an old machine and adopt a
new one, may cost him thousands. He
is working his brain as hard as he can,
and calling on his faculties for al
they will do. He is bringing himself
and his business more and more into
touch with the modern spirit, and
through combination with his neigh.
bors is making agriculture more and
more a power in the land.

views on the coming special sessio,
of the Legislature as followe:
IL find that there is a growing
sentiment that the legislature
should postpone action on the tax
report as a whole until the regular
session. l think that the most we
can do is to take up the proposed
constitutional amendments, such
of them as appear desirable or nec,
essary, in order that they nay r.
submitted to the people. AS for the
new tax code, l arm convinced that
it will be a great mistake for the
Legislature to pass it hurriedly
Ninety days will not be too long .
period fol. it's consideration. The
public should have nor time to
study the provisions and call Il e
attention of the Legislators to such
points as may be of importance to
correct. If we pass the tax law
without sufficient time for proper
consideration it may require man:
amendments at the next regula>
session. We might as we'll do the
work a. near right as possible, and
the emergency is not so great that
it cannot go over until the next reg

the most valued of our exchanges,
and we trust that prosperity may
continue to be it's lot.
SPRING politics at Hibbing begin
to take On a carmine hue, if one
may be permitted to judge from
recent issues of the. News. The
News is not the official paper of the
village, but is evidently onto the
curves of some of the officials, Civ
ing free publication to many of the
official and unofficial acts of the
powers.
The Village of Eveleth has filed a
petition for incorporation as a city.
"A slight changein boundaries from
the territory embraced in the pres
ent village limits will be made. The
petition, after due publication, will
come up before the board of county
commissioners, and an election to
vote upon the proposition will
doubtless be ordered.
The political porkers of Duluth
have another howl coming-this
time at the recommendations of the
tax commission providing for a
tonnage tax on craft registering
from Minnesota ports. Those Du-
luth fellows are a hardlot to please,
and to avoid further trouble and
dissatisfaction we would propose
that the state Legislature delegate
it's future business to a delegation
of Duluth kickers. The last resort
whereby they may be pacified.
The Duluth merchants would lose
a goodly amount of trade could
range people be induced to believe
their home merchants give them
equal or better bargains than are
offered by cityfrms. The bargains
are to be had at home, but lack of
proper advertising on the part of
local merchants accounts for the
avidity with which range citizens
grab at the mid-winter sale profers
