An American woE:an in London
writes: IL have said that l am at
loss to know whether the lack of heat
in English homes and business build
ings Is caused by hardness or sting
mess. l used to think it the latter,
till I found numerous delightful En-
glish friends objected to my own heat
ed home. Actually some of them cut
me every winter, so far as calling on
me is concerned, because they say my
rooms are too stuffy and hot.

Among the many hobbies of Senator
George f. Hoar are his fondness for

Insurance AGENTS Methods.


Every once in while the news
papers print stories about the devices
adopted by life insurance men, book
canvassers and others engaged in sim
liar occupations to gain and hold
audience with their prospective vic
TINS. A favorite story tells of the life
insurance agent who, when on the
point of being elected on the ground
that his victims time was toe valuable
to waste in listening to insurance
schemes, bought five minutes of the
time at 81 a minute, the price being
set by the owner, of course. At the
end of five minutes the insurance man
had the victims signature to ,0GO
rolicy.
But for simplicity this does not CON-
pare with the plan pursued with great
success by an insurance man new In
town. Admission to the victim being
gained, the conversation runs some
thing like this:
Insurance Man-Give me dollar
and I'll tell you something of great
interest to you.
Victim (cautiously)-Not so fast;
why should 1 give you dollar in ad.
vance? Tell me your scheme first
Tor words to that effect).
With an invitation such as that 1t is
plain sailing. This possesses the
advantage over the first scheme that
in case of failure, even if the agent
is not dollar in, he is, at least, not S5
out.-New York Sun.
When people with small means are
thrown in the way Of wealthier ac-
quaintances, always let it be with
frankness. Putting on air is detrimen-
tai to self-respect A good deal of
misery comes to people who are not
able to make both ends meet. The eff;
fort to keep up appearances which are
beyond ones income is a constant
nervous strain, with which no sensible
person should willingly burden him.

RUSSIAN BLUFF.

AunounCGm ut is made mat the
Russian government will decline to
accept the petition of American Jews
that is II be transmitted by President
Roosevelt. In other words, the petit
ton will be returned TO the American
representative by whom il is present
ed While such action will preclude
the possibility of the original petit
ton reaching the ear, the result Will
be the same, as the fact that the petit
ton is presented by the government
of the United States will create such
widespread interest in the petition
that the ear is quite apt to see the
text of the document. Furthermore,
the fact that the president of the
United States has seen fit to forward
such a petition will create feeling
of wounded pride on the part of Rus
STA which will cause the ears gov
eminent to use the utmost vigilance
to prevent the recurrence of the
Kichineff outrage against the Jews.
and thus the object of the petition
will be attained. The Russian gov
eminent announces that it will regard
the forwarding of such petition by
this country as an attempt to NEEDLE
with Russia's domestic affairs, and
many Americans hold that Russia s
contention is correct. But there is
difference between a petition OF
memorial addressed by one govern
ment to another and petition pre-
pared by private individuals ant
transmitted through government
channels to a foreign government. II
the latter case, the government
transmitting the petition is not bound
by it's contents and it requires very
tortuous reasoning to construe sucf

MlSMANAGEMENT.

While the authorities are overhaul
ing the post office department at
Washington it might be well if they
would investigate the methods en-
ployed in the Kalispell office. Not
that any frauds have been practiced
here, but the service has become so
bad as to be absolutely rotten. In
an office handling as much mail as
does the Kalispell post office, it is
impossible, of course to keep out all
errors, but there is no reason why
a large percentage of the mail should
be delayed every day. Letters COM
ing into Kalispell in the morning are
distributed any time before the next
morning, and sometimes even later,
while mail for outside points seems
to receive even worse treatment.
About 100 subscribers of the Bee
call at this office for their papers
rather than entrust them to the ten
der mercies of the postoffice, while
papers mailed in Kalispell for points
within the county are often several
days in reaching their destination
and many papers never reach the
subscribers at all. These statements
are not founded upon idle rumors nor
upon Imagination. but upon actual oc-
currances of which the Bee has
record. The people of Kalispell and
Flathead county are entitled to the
SAM quality of mail service that is
given to the rest of the country, and
if they do not get it. this paper will
endpavor to learn the reason why.
The Bee is keeping a record Of de-
lays and irregularities in the mail
service in Kalispell, and all persons
having knowledge of such will confer
favor by leaving statement OF
the facts at this office and such in
formation will be placed where it
will do the most good.

RECENT LYNCHiNGS.

Not very long ago the country was
Mortified by the burning of a negro at
the stake in the south. The outrage
was denounced by the press of the
north, and thu entire south has been
periodically arraigned for the lynch
ing of negroes. The influence OF the
press, however, seems not to have
been very potent, for the lynching
habit has been spreading right along
and at the present time the lynchings
of the north are quite as numerous
and fully as atroCious as those of
any other section. In fact, the Gus
tom has become so general as to
have lost it's sectional feature entire
ly. During the past week lynchings
have been reported from many north
ern states, among them, being Mon
tana, with a tragedy at Glasgow
Most OF these lynchings were of the
ordinary kind, but the one reported
from Wilmington, Delaware, was a
little ahead in tiendish cruelty OF
anything ever produced in the south
as the following from the report OF
the tragedy will testify:
The flames leaped up and licked
the mans bare hands. He was
held erect by one of the lynchers I'M
til his clothing was burning fairly
when he was pushed into the bed OF
the fire He rolled about and his
contortions were terrible but he
S,,IJ w bn
on his legs parted and he
sprang from The fire and started tC
run. A man struck him in the heat
with a piece of fence rail anC
knocked him down. Willing hand!
throw him again into the flames. He
rolled out several times, but was
promptly returned While this wa!
going on shouts, cheers and gibeS
went up from the crowd"
When the first lynching by burn
ing at the stake was perr strated, {
thrill of horror swept over the entire
country, and The papers for day!
were filled with reports OF the horri
BE details, but Familiarity breeds in
difference if nothing more, and a
the present time such lynchings at
tract but passing notice The lessor
of it all perhaps is that human ma
ture is mucn the same, either nortl
or south and if the north had tn
colored population that is in tn
south it is doubtful if they would b
as temperate in dealing with the co
ored man as is the south.
Such tragedies are to be deploreC
but what parent can restrain hi
hand when the opportunity offers t
avenge the outrage and murder of a
innocent girl, whether it be his ow
or his neighbours daughter, and
the freu2icd brain at such time n
punishment seems adequate to q
plate the 1oul crime.
