In his decision Commission Host
says:
Il am Of the opinion that it was the
intention OF the Legislature that said

distinct purpose in view, that of afford

nulnty It's every purpose. The law pro-
vides that the directors can determine
whether such distribution be made
once in two, three, four or five year
periods instead OF annual, and speci-
tiCally provides what FUNDS shall be re
served, in determining the amount OF
surplus TO be distributed. II permits.

law mandatory in its character, was
necessary fer the protection Of the
equities of the members who compose
these mutual corporations. Such cor
poratons are the creatures Of the
state, which has the right to prescribe
the conditions under which they can
transact business and can only eXer-
else their functions within the limits of
the states permission; ana when the
state says to those mutual life insur,
ance corporations you may distribute
your profits annually CT once in TWO,
three, four or five years as your board
of directors may determine and then
defines in fact what constitutes the
surplus TO be distributed, it is my opin-
ion that the state has issued a direct
mandate, leaving discretion only as to
the period which may be selected with
in the maximum of five years.

THE BAND CUT ICE.
roo Cold to Make Music, and They
Wanted to he Set to Work
at Once.

One winter when the First United States
cavalry was stationed in Montana the
bandmasrcr went to the commander OF the
post, Gen. Culver Grover, and reported
that the members Of the band had been or
dered to help cut ice, relates the Detroit
Free Press. He said: "Sheneral, they did
not enlist us to cut ice, but to make moosic. !"
The commanding officer called the adjutant
and on his approach said: Mr.. Adjutant,
Mr.. Schmidt wishes the band excused from
ice fatigue; he says they enlisted to make
music" Mr.. Schmidt, bowling to the COM
manding officer, said: Eyes, sheneral, to
make moosic." The commanding officer
then said: Mr.. Adjutant, the band will
be excused from ice fatigue" MIR. Schmidt
bowed himself out, saying: Thank you,
sheneral; thank you, sheneral." But,
continued the commanding officer, as the
door closed, Mr.. Adjutant, the band will
take post on the bluff overlooking the river
and will make music while the rest of the
command cut ice." The weather was in
tensely cold, and as a matter OF course it
was impossible for the players to make a
sound, their breathing freezing on their
instruments. The bandmaster again hur-
ried to the commanding officer and said:
"Sheneral, it is impossible to make
moosic; the band would rather cut ice"
Every well, MIR. Schmidt, just as you WISH
replied the commanding officer, and, call
ing the adjutant, he said: Mr.. AdJutant,
the band will cut ice."

CALLS THEM HOGS.
Latest Compliment Of Sultan Of
Bacalod to American Soldiers.
rhs Fiery Chief Says He Wants War snd
May Start It This Month-His
Neighbors Friendly to
Amertcaua.

Washington, Jan. 6.-"Swine who
ate swine" is the latest compliment
rendered American soldiers in Min
dano by the sultan of Bacalod and the
panadungan of that place. These
two Filipino "braves" of the Moro
tribe have caused the American
troops no little annoyance since the
occupation by their guerrilla war
fare. The following is an example
of the letter read Mt the war depart
ment in the last Philippine mail. 1t
was sent to the American offices in
of the sultan and the panadungan OF
Bacalod:
eve want war If you don't get out
of here and go back to the sea, be-
cause neither the sultan of Bacalod
nor the panadungan wants to be
your friends. Within this month we
want the war to begin, and if you do
not want it you are lot of cowardly
rascals.
"Follow the Mohammedan religion.
"Do not look for the Mausers, for
we have them. They were captured
by Bantuas and Buarsing, people OF
the sultan of Bacalod.
1--WE send our regards to the four
generals and their vermin. If you
don't want to 60 from here. come
to this place and the sultan and
panadungan will take care of you,
for you are lot of hogs that eat
hogs, and in not presenting ourselves
at Bacalod look out, for we shall go
to fight you"
The advices show that neighbors
of the Bacalod chief are quite friend
" to the Americans, the sultan of
cato having visited Camp Wears.
