The business methods of insurance
companies are not all to the liking of a
shrewd old German farmer with whom
a certain agent had some dealings, says
the New York Tribune. The house of
the farmer, insured for 1000, had
burned down. The privilege of replace
ing burned house is reserved by in
surance companies, and the agent, hav-
ing this in mind, said to the farmer:
Wen put you up a better house
than the one you had for $780,
'Nein" said the farmer, emphatical-
ly. Il will hat my one tousand dollar
or notings! Dot house could not be
build again for even a tousand''
"Oh, yes, it could" said the insurance
man. 1T was an old house. 1t doesn't
cost so much to build houses nowadays.
A $500 new house would be lot bigger
than the old one"
Some months later, when the insur-
ance man was out for a days shoot
ing, he rode up again to the farmers
place.
Just thought I'd stop while I was up
here" he said, ito see if you wanted
to take out a little insurance"
Il got notings to insure" said the
"notings but my Wife,
"Well, then" said the insurance man,
cheerfully, insure her."
"Nein!" said the farmer, with deter
mination. IF she die, you come out
here and say, L not gift you one tousand
dollar. / get you a bigger und a better
wife for six hunded.' No, sir, l dakes
no more insurance oud!"

Hypnotizing Two Dollars,

Did you ever see me hypnotic q

Nonsense the other sneered.

Nothing; not a word"
And you'll make her put both her
hands to her ears without touching her
or speaking to her?"
Yes, sir.
We'll, it'll be worth 81 to see you dc
it. I'll have to go you"
Very we'll! Watch now!" In q. tone
loud enough for the woman to hear he
said to his companion: Charley, how
do you like the new fashion the WON
en- have of wearing only one earring?"
Instantly the woman clapped one
gloved hand and then the other to her
ears to see * she had lost one of her
sparklers.

MARCoNPs SUCCESS.

1t looks as if Marconi had achieved
cial success. He talks confidently of
sending more words across the Allan
tic in a minute than can be sent by the
cable in that time, and he says that
he can telegraph across the continent
as readily as he can across the ocean.
He points out that it costs only $780,
600 to establish a wireless system across
the Atlantic, and that therefore he will
be able eventually to telegraph a mes
sage from New York to London as
cheaply as it can now be sent by wire
from New York to Philadelphia. If
what he says is correct he can send
messages across the ocean quicker by
his system than they can be sent by
the cable. 1t seems that the cable
now sends twenty-one words minute
and he claims that by the wireless
system thirty can be sent.
If all of these claims for the wire
less system are made good in a little
while there will be an immense vol
ume of business in telegraphing be-
tween this country and Europe. The
cheapness of the service win cause an
increase in the business. But what
will become of the cable companies
They do not seem to be alarmed. If
the Marconi system proves to be the
success claimed for it, however, they
will have to come down in their rates.
The wireless method will have the bust
ness if ii does it as well as the cables
and for small fraction of the cost.
But it is claimed that there is no Sc
crecy by the wireless system. We
don't know about that, but Marconi
claims that his company will guaran-
tee secrecy. We don't know
how he intends to obtain
secrecy, but as he seems to be making
good his promises. it win probably be
safe enough to accept his guaranty in
this matter.
1t locks as if the whole business of
telegraphing were TO be revolutionized
The wireless system means cheaper
service on land as well as on the sea.
And if storms do not interfere with
this system it viii have advantage over
the present system, because there are
no wires to get out of order. 1t often
happens now that when there is a great
storm the wires won't work. or else
they are broken by falling trees or in
some other way.
The Commercial Gable Company is
now laying a cable from San Francis
co to Manila and other points in the
Far East. Is this cable going to be a
useless piece of property? That is the
inference from. what Marconi says. A
few months or year will show wheth-
er or not he is right.

| Representative Burleson of Texas,
/ one Of the younger Democrats, as
/ pires to A position among the leaders
/ Of his party. He wants the party to do
! something-to get out OF the rut into
which it has run-and make its influ-
| ence felt. The first thing he wants TO
! do is to get rid of Representative Rich
ardson of Tennessee as the leader Of
| the minority on the floor of the House.
According to his view Mr.. Richard
son is out of date. is not the kind Of
man that is wanted If an aggressive
campaign is to be conducted by the
Democrats in the next presidential
contest. He wants young men at the
| front-young men who have implicit
confidence in the future Of the Demo-
cratic party.
Mr.. BurlesOn is a young man him
self, being only forty. He comes from
the capital of his state and is now
serving his second term in Congress.
He hasn't made much of an impress
sion on the country yet. but he seems
to be determined to do so. He viii be
in the next Congress- and he believes
If Democratic congressman do their
duty it will not be necessary to search
the country for a candidate to lead the
party in the next national contest.
There may be a good deal in the DO
sition taken by Mr.. Burleson. Mr..
Richardson does not seem to be just
the man that is wanted to lead the
Democratic forces on the floor of the
House. Many opportunities occur for
making points for the Democratic par
ty which he overlooks. In order to
secure success in 1904 it is necessary
to begin to lay the foundation for it
now. The fight ought to begin at
once, and there are many reasons why
the younger men of the party. should
be placed in the lead.

1t seems that the Hon. Thomas B.
Fielder of Atlanta, one of the counsel
for the fugitives from justice, Greene
and Gaynor is Of the opinion that
United States District Attorney Ma
rion Erwin, doesn't know whether or
not the governments efforts to Sc
cure the extradition of the fugitives
are ended. Mr.. Fielder thinks they
are ended, but on what does he base
his opinion as to- MIR. Erwins informa-
ton in respect to that matter?
1t is natural of course for Mr.. Fielder
to think the government will take no
further steps in the case, because he
does not believe the government can
accomplish anything towards extradit-
ing the accused men, but he is not in
the confidence of the government. On
the other hand Mr.. Erwin is supposed
to be the governments chief agent in
the effort to secure the. return of the
fugitives, and ought to know all that
the government knows about the case.
When he was last in Savannah he de-
clined to talk freely of the case, but
he certainly left the impression that
the government was not by any means
at the end of its resources.
For all that Mr.. Fielder knows the
government has well laid plan to
accomplish it's object, and that one of
these days it will surprise the fugi-
tives and their counsel. 1t would be
strange indeed if the government
should drop the case altogether, after
creating the impression that it would
succeed in accomplishing its purpose.
1t has been criticised for the method
it adopted for securing the extradition
of the fugitives, though it seems it
acted upon the advice of one of the
ablest lawyers of Canada. The inter-
esting feature of the case now, how
ever, is Mr.. Felder's statement that
Mr.. Erwin doesn't know what the at
titude of the government in respect
to the case is. Does that mean that
MIR. Erwin has nothing further to do
with it?

Something of Consequence.

A certain woman in Paris gives
periodical dinners, at which assemble
most of the best known wits and
literati of the day, says the Chicago
News. The rule of the mansion is that
while one person discourses no inter-
ruptiOn whatever can be permitted.
1t is said that NJ. Renan once at
tended one of these dinners, and, being
in excellent vein, talked without a
break during the whole repast. To-
ward the end of the dinner a guest was
heard to commence a sentence, but he
was instantly silenced by the hostess.
After they had left the table, however,
she at once informed the extinguished
individual that, as NJ. Renan had now
finished his conversation, she would
gladly hear what he, the guest, had to
say:
The guest modestly declined; the hos
tess insisted.

consequence" she said,

was, indeed, but it is now too latei 1

somely gowned woman of 80 or So

were standing, enjoying their cigars.
One of them was a big, good-natured-
looking chap. The car was about at
Sixth street, when the pretty woman
in the car caught the eye of the big
fellow on the rear platform. She
screwed her left optic into a most mis-
chievous wink and smiled at him. He
smiled back at her.

vially remarked the man standing next
to the big fellow on the platform, who

Has a merchant a right, in times of
shortage of supplies. to discriminate
against the general public in favor of
his regular customers? 1t seems like
ly that the question will come before
the court in Washington shortly. Some
of the coal dealers, it appears, have
been refusing to sell coal to the general
trade, even for cash in hand. holding
their meager supplies for the accom-
mediation of their regular customers.
A movement is on foot to bring suit
against the dealers to restrain them
from showing any favoritism. 1t is
argued that the coal dealer is in a
position analogous to that of restau-
rant keeper, who must not discrimi-
nate against respectable persons who
enter his place and ask to be served.
An attorney says there is a plenty of
law to cover the case. But then there
are attorneys who think they can find
law TO cover about any case In which
there is fee.
