II BY HIS son.
Old italian UnwittingIy became
Mixed in the Insurance Frauds.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 23.-Cassimier
C~icchone, the aged Italian, who was
arrested yesterday as one of the prin-
cipals in the New York Insurance
frauds, is in a dying condition and
may expire beCre the New York at
torneys representing the insurance
companies can reach here to take his
deposition Today through an inter
prefer he blamed his son for getting
him into the trouble and told how the
fraud scheme was worked.
He said he was the keeper of a fruit
stand in New York several years ago.,
when he was approached by an Italian
named Joe Ross, who wanted him to
have his life insured, promising to meet
all expenses. Cicchone signed the ap-
plicatiOn n says he thought no more
of the matter until the detectives
came and told me my son said I was
dead and buried. The money ] receiv-
ed for signing the paper would not
pay for a bunch of bananas. I am
told my son took the money on my
policy. ;" The in which the
insurance frauds are worked in e.
York, l am told, is for a policy to be
taken out on the life of an old man
and then a body is obtained from the
mOrgue, which is buried in the name of
the live man.
The applicant in many cases is an
old man, very near death, and a man
who is hale and hearty goes to the
company's office and after eXamina-
ton, a certificate is issued. A small
sum is paid them when he signs the
application and he is cautioned to keep
quiet.
My son got me into the business
and 1 want to die before the thing goes

physician and his days are rapidly

Stage Ice Cream.

That "make believes" of the stage
are not so easily detected now as in the
days when Mr.. Joseph Jefferson was
beginning to earn his reputation as an
actor is shown by this story of dramat-
ic business" in the earlier days of the
Walnut Street theater in Philadelphia.
There was a scene in the course Of
which a servant was to enter with
lights.
"In those days." said Mr.. Jefferson,
''sea island cotton was stage ice cream,
just as molasses and water was stage
wine, sherry or port, according to the
proportion of molasses. The actors
were seated at the table where they
had been enjoying such viands as
these, and their dialogue was making
the very best sort of an impression on
q crowded house.
"Then in came that maidservant
with the wabbliest sort of candelabra.
The scene was SO engrossing that she
was scarcely noticed, but when she set
down her burden on the table and one
candle toppled out and put the ice
cream in a blackwell, the entire au-
dience burst into a laugh, and the cur
tain had to be rung down."

Rev. Irl r. Hicks 1903 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work of
science and art is finer and better
than ever, is stating it mildly. The
demand for it is far beyond all pre-
vious years. To say that such re-
suits, reaching through THIRTY
YEARS, are not based upon sound
sense and usefulness, is an insult
10 the intelligence of the millions.
Prof. Hicks, through this great AL
manac, and his famous family and
scientific journal, WORD AND WORKS,
is doing work for the whole people
not approached by any other man
or publication. A fair test will
prove this to any reasonable person.
Added to the most luminous course
in astronomy for 1908, forecasts of
storms and weather are given, as
never before, for every dayin the
year, all charmingly illustrated with
nearly two hundred engravings.

Billion and TriIIion.

There are two systems of numera-
ton in use at the present day, COM
monty called the English and the
French systems. In the former the
billion is million of millions, trillion
a million of billions, and each denomi-
nation is a million times the one pre-
ceding. In the latter, which is the sys-
tenn used in the United States, the
billion is a thousand millions, and each
denomination is a thousand times the
preceding. Therefore, according to the
English notation, a trillion is the
product of a million involved to the
third power, or the number represented
by a unit with its ciphers annexed;
according to the French notation, the
number expressed by a uait with
twelve ciphers attached. A billion ac-
cording to the French method is the
number represented by a unit with
nine ciphers and according to the Eng
lish method with twelve ciphers an

Lovers of the fine arts will find a
wonderful feast in the art gallery of
Mr.. T. B. Walker on Hennepin av-
enue, near Ninth street, Minneapo-
lis. The Como Interurban cars,
which can be taken in St. Paul,
near the Ryan hotel, pass the door.
The gallery is open to the public,
without charge, at reasonable hours,
except Sunday. Parties of teachers,
or others, are always welcome, but
! it is best to write in advance and set
a day, for the reason that other par
ties may be there and crowd it. The
writer has visited it alone, and with
others, and always with pleasure and
profit. The collection is wonderful
and varied. Those who have never
visited it can hardly realize how Il
private gallery could have so many
masterpieces Of fabulous value. The
writer has seen many art collections,
but always wonders at this. Near
it on Tenth and Hennepin is the
Minneapolis public library, which is
well worth visit at the same time.
1t has many fine paintings and other
gems of beauty. There is some
statuary. Among the interesting
relics is genuine Egyptian mummy.
The building itself is worth visit.
These two may be the objective
point of an outing for teachers, stu
dents, literary and art clubs, which
would be both pleasant and profit
able.

Bits of Sunshine.

Through the courtesy of DR.. Ash
ley, the JOURNAL has read with
interest book ofverses by Clarence
Leland Miller. The book is en-
titled Bits of Sunshine" and is
dedicated to Bertha Blessing
Miller; it is published in tasteful
edition by the Abby Press, New
York. There are upwards of 100
poems, covering over 300 pages, and
throughout the greater number of
these poems spirit of loyalty and
devotion to the young woman whose
name appears on the fly leaf seems
to have been the poets inspiration.
All the poems breathe candid
spiritual message and are struck off
with surprising fuency. Following
are brief excerpts from one of the
more graceful lyrics, Little Moth
err"
'Little mother chief of blessing;
Choice of all, lips are confessing;
For know that love is waking
Mother love that has no breaking.
When betrothed 1 said, L love thee;
Tho't that there was none above thee;
But the love that now give thee,
Heart of hearts, slall long Outlive thee
Another pleasing poem is The
Oak" beginning:
Beneath moSS-grOwn tree sit;
The feecy clouds above me fit;
And now and then hear the cry.
OF woodland birds unseen and shy"
ITO Arms, )" one of the most virile
poems in the collection is marred
by such extravaganCies as,
ellis eyes with helliSh greed at1ame,
Upon her features gloat."
The "Minstrel's Curse" has a
truly romantic atmosphere, Work"
is a poem of excellent spirit, and
"Voyaging" is a charming song
that shows the poet at his best.

Ants Magnetic Nests.

Port Darwin, in South Australia,
boasts of some Of the most remarkable
ants nests in the world. They are
known as magnetic" nests, for the
simple reason that they are without
exception built in a due north and
south direction. Consequently a trav-
eler journeying through the district in
which they abound may readily direct
his course by their aid. No living man
knows why these tiny architects build
them in this way. They are merely one
out of the many marvels of the great
land "down under" 1t seems, how
ever, probable that instinct leads these
tiny creatures to so construct their
dwellings that the fierce monday sun
shall have the least possible effect upon
their interiors.

The Tide of Years.

Come back, o Youth with all your hopes and
fears
Across the years which thiclxly intervene;
do not ask your hair of silken sheen,
Your rosy cheeks, or eyes that shine through
tears;
Nay-though this mirrored vlsage strange APP
pears
Like some pale mask which rudely comes be-
tween
And hides the face so long and often seen,
For this do not call across the years.
But give me back the JOY and courage high,
The bounding pulse, the ardent soul of yore,
The hope knew when long life spread before,
And all Lifc's gifts seemed in my path to lie.
Let Age pile frost on my devoted head
So thou, Q Youth, reign in my heart instead.

contradicted by the fact that in India
suicides by opium are committed by

because husbands complain of their
