 Several years ago. he said, all of the insurance that was written on the fleecy staple was written by regularly ccmmis- sioned agents. Later, brokers from for egn States began to write insurance on cotton and to protect themselves the com mission agents had the resident agent law passed. The law he said had proved inefficient, for no sooner had the law been passed than the brokers became residents of the State through dummy agents"
 He rectted several instances. where he had been called on by his company to write a policy on cotton in . certain Opelika warehouse to be forwarded through the home ofiice to blank broker, for which the company os'ered to pay him regular commission by reason of the fact the broker.

 Mir. Dean summed up the situation, first that the fire underwriters of Alabama and the cotton business through the interven- ton of brokers of dummy agents" and that the regularly commissioned agents were writing the insurance for per per cent in direct opposition to a resolu- tion adopted by the last convention of the Association held in Birmingham.
 Mir. Dean closed his remarks with an earnest appeal to the members to write no cotton insurance for anything less than 10 per cent commission.
 F. M. Stillwell of Selma, was called on to discuss the paper of MT. Dean. Mir. Stihwell said that Mir. Dean had so thoroughly covered the ground that he would hesitate to discuss his paper with out study. He suggested that the paper be referred to a special committee for consideration.

FEW PAY THE PUGlLISTS-

Their Large Incomes DO Not Come
from thu Public at Large.
when the American public will pay
$4,000 to one man for the sake of see
ing him hit another man in the pit of
the stomach and will pay the other
man $ll, 900 for the sake of seeing him
receive the blow 1t is evident that
there Is ample field in which the civ
iIizing agencies may exercise their
most strenuous endeavors. Think of
the good causes that $4,000 might
have promoted"
The above paragraph is going the
rounds Of the Iowa papers, credited in
some cases to the Des Molnes Register
and Leader and in others to the Du-
buque Times. The trouble with the
Item Is that the American public did
not pay that 1900. 1t was a very
Insignificant and really inconsequential
portion Of the population Of the great
republic which contributed to the pc
cunary welfare of the face-beaters at
San Francisco. The American people
as a rule are too sensible to squander
money in that way and to charge the
American public indiscriminately with
such lack Of brains Is little less than
llbelous.
But take the above quoted item seri-
ously: Let US see how the expenditure
at san Francisco compares with what
the American public Is really doing in
the way of money spending for like
period.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton Of America Is composed Of only a
small portion of the American public,
but it spent during 1902 over $1,000, 900
n its work IN this country. The actual
figures show that on an average the
| soclety spent in one Sunday $685., or
almost twice the amount spent by the
above newspapers American public"
on the San Francisco fight.
1t can be safely estimated that on
the Sunday following the Corbett-Jef
fries fight the American public went
TO church and deposited in the money
collection box hundreds Of times the
amount paid the pugillsts.
1t Is reasonably certain that on the
night of that fight the American @liC
the greater portion Of them beh-, ut
rerly Indifferent to the San Francisco
rfair-were paying admissions to con
,crts, lectures, high-class dramatic
performances hundreds Of times in eX
cess Of the amount fought for by Cor
bett and JelGrlcs.
There Isn't the fa!ntest doubt In tho
world that on the night Of the ring
contest in question hundreds Of thou,
sands OF American people, most OF
Glcm obllvlous of the pugllistc On,
counter took trolley car rides foT
which they paid a greater aggregate
rum than was carried Off by lAe con,

TRAPPED ON A LEDGE.


A member OF n party sent out by the
Smithsonian Institution in the early
eighties to explore the canon of the
Colorado, recalls an experience the
memory OF which. he assures his
friends, stll makes his hair Jingle at
the roots. This is his story:
| had left the party for an all-day
exploration on my own account, and at
four o'clock in the afternoon | was
working glngerly along ledge which
projected from the wall of the canon.
1t was dizzy spot, with the rocky
walls running straight down 10 the
river bed.
/ came at last to a break in the ledge
"A sort OF vertical split in the wall
Of the canon. 1t was about five feet
across, and tree grew on the other
side, rooted hard and fast among tho
crannics. Lucky thing" said | to
myself, that this tree Is here" and
grabbing branch that stuck out in
my direction, l swung myself across TO
the ledge on the other side of the gap.
Wen, started along all right, but
inside of two minutes | came to the
end Of the ledge. There was nothing
to do but go back, and back l went.

PUSS IN THE LIONS DEN
Little Cat Insisted on Being Friend

Little Cat Insisted on Being Friends
with Her Big Cousin.
Tiny, pet cat at Glen Island, was
seen one morning mewlng pitCously I'M
der a cage containing a large lion. She
had been injured and hoped about on
three legs. For comfort or perhaps
companonship, she crawled into the
lions cage and began TO make herself
at home. The lion opened his eyes wide
with wonder at the presumption, then
for time paid no more attention TO
her than II she had been "A fly.
A keeper took long-handled broom
and tried to shove her out OF the cage.
The lion snarled and his eyes shone
wickedly. Tiny started toward the lion,
when the big cat threw out his paw to
push her away. Taking the lions act
only in play, che was up in a second,
and, clasping the huge paw between
her tiny fore feet she began to lick IL
affectionately. From that moment the
injured kitten and the lion were
friends
She afterward took a shine to ths
polar bear and crawled between the
bars Of the den. but the bear looked at
her askance and then climbed up the
rocks in the rear of the den, where Il
was safe.
The only cage that puss keeps away
from is occupied by black monkey,
which thrust It's paw out and
clutched the end Of Tiny's tail and bit
it.-New York Mail and Express.

Has He Found 1t?

Polk, Ark, Nov. GA remedy that
will absolutely cure Rheumatism has
been discovered by Mr.. George Hiland
of this place. Mr. IIiland is satisfied
that the remedy he has used is a sure
cure, for it cured him of very serious
case of Acute Rheumatism when he
was so bad that he could not move.
This is what he says:
II was troubled with what Is called
Acute Rheumatism in 1900 l was I'M
such shape that | could not move with
out help. l was treated by a physi-
clan, who helped me some, but | was
still in great pain when my wife saw
Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised as a
cure for Rheumatism. She insisted on
my trying them, and l felt better after
taking the first box. l continued, and
now I am well and able to work all
the time. have found Dodd's Kidney
Pills to be just what they are claimed
to be, perfect cure for rheumatism"
Mr.. Hilands very positive statement
seems to settle all doubt as to wheth-
or or not Rhnumotism can he cured.
