MARRIAGE AND INSURANCE.
"Wife" Includes a Second Wife
in Life Policies.

Probably few persons will dispute
the proposition that in common par
lance If married man speaks OF his
wife he intends to refer to her who
il his wife at that time. and does not
contemplate her death and a second
wife, whom he may subsequently
marry. But suppose married man
effects policy of insurance on his
own life under the Married Womtn's
Property Act, 1882, "for the benefit
of his wife and children" and after
his then wife's death the assured mai.
rics again and has a second family.
Will the second wife and her children
be entitled upon the death Of the hus-
band to share in the policy moneys?
This was the question before Mr.. JUS
tice Kekewich in a case at the end OF
last week, and he held that the sec.
ond wife and her children are en-
titled to share. The decision appears
to be in accordance with good sense
as we'll as law. AS the learned Judge
observed in giving judgment, the pre-
sumption that when a married man
speaks of his wife he intends his wife
at the time loses weight when an in
strument like policy Of insurance;
which IS intended to make provision
for wife and children after the hus-
bands death, has to be construed. The
husband in all probability intends to
provide for those who survive him,
and for that reason stand in need OF
the provision; and this conclusion is
strengthened BY the reflection that as
he cannot reasonably he supposed
to have intended to benefit only the
children living at the date Of the policy
to the exclusion of after-born children
of the then existing wife, there ap-
pears to he no good rason why the
children by the second wife and the
second wife herself should not also
share. There is no reason why the
trust in favor of the wife and children
which the act of 1882, mentioned above
creates, should not include objects as
yet unascertaincd. Upon these grounds
it was held that by wife and child
rem" the husband intended his survlH-
ing wife Gf any and his surviving
children, whether by his then living
or any after-taken wife.-London Tele'

The Colt and Its Rider.

Once upon a time man tried to ride

which objected very much to his doing
SO, and there was quite struggle be-
tween the two, with plunging by the
colt and clinging by the man.
Finally the colt threw the man over
his head. Gcpositing him upon the
ground without injury; but the man
determined not TO be defeated, pursued
the colt ard, capturing him, proceeded
to again mount, with some difficulty.
There was another struggle, Which
ended as before, with the man pros

officers and clerks commenced to give
E7me particulars, when one suggested
that I take one of the horses and ride
to the scene, a couple of miles further

rather slow in selecting my steed, but
made the mistake Of choosing one 6s'

beast.
For some distance after mounting
the animal he logged along pleasantly.
At length We came to a field to the

being drilled. The sound Of a bugle
was heard, and ere could gather the
reins my old horse had galloped to

SAMPLING WORKS
IN OPERATION.
McEwen, Arthur & McEwen's
Plant Now In Full Blast.


Works has opened its doors for
business, and Is now prepared to
assist in the development Of the
Sumpter mining district In ways
which will be highly appreciated
by all those engaged In mining
operations In Eastern Oregon.
II has heretofore been very
difficult matter to establish be :
yond doubt the merits of min
ing property; as the we'll known
defects Of hand sampling are such
that many people do not feel justified
in placing full confidence In the
assay results obtained. 1t will now,
however, be possible for anyone
owning u mine or prospect to compel
recognition of merit, by means Of
a sampling certificate which takes
the place Of the shipping record Of a
fully developed mine.
The principles Of sampling are
familiar to most mining men, and the
method of procedure at the Sumpter
Works has convinced those who have
seen IL In operation that the results
obtained cannot be otherwise than a
true representation of the ore
val ues, whether the lot be twenty
tons or a hundred tons.
While the customary method Of
taking every tenth shovel Of ore
from the pile In many cases gives
good results, II cannot be compared
for accuracy with the practice which
consists In the use of u quartering-
scoop which takes quarter Of every
shovelful of ore in the whole lot.
Thus IL "a shipment of ten tons con-
tains ton pounds of thousand dollar
ore. tho correct proportion Of this
will eventually find its way through
the breakers aud the quarteriDg into
the assay sample itself. As the
success of an enterprise of this kind
depends almost entirely upon the
degree of confidence II Is able to
inspire. the management has thought
II best to admit the public to the
sampling floor, which gives man an
opportunity to follow his shipment
through the various stages until
the pile has been gradually worked
down to small size, representing
the true average Of the whole. This
Is then divided into two parts. He
chooses one aud takes II with him,
and the other goes to the assay office.
1t Ia possible In this way to sample
"a twenty ton lot In one day.
The firm Is In the market for ores
and bullion of all kinds and In any
quantity, whether large or small,
paying cash for the same. 1t expects
thereby to be of considerable use to
the man who il opening up u pro-
perty or mining on small scale, as
he can bring IN his small lot Of ore,
see Il sampled before his eyes, and
receive cash for II on the same day,
thereby enabling him to continue
his development work.

designed with care, and cannot fail
to prove Of inestimable value to
