NEW MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY.

For several wears there has been 4 well
recognized need of 4 second mutual fire
! insurance company to be organized hv
home people and operated solely for their
benefit This feeling has been cnpha-
sized in the recent past by t he wisely con-
servatiyc policy of our Mutual Fire In
SuranCe Company TO reduce th. amount
. of its risk on each piece property thus
requiring the members to seek additional
insurance elsewhere. The result is hat
many thousand dollars are annually he
ing paid for insurance to stock compa-
MES, many oi which are first -class, some
absolutely irresponsible ard worthless.
and all very expensive, their rates having
been heavily increased in recent years.
In addition, their bylaws and regu.a-
tions are so numerous and intricate that
it is frequently impossible for the most
careful policy. holder not TO be in default
This was conspicuously shown in the re
cent suit of Mrs. John Rush street,
against the German American Fire lnsur-
ance Company, tried at the September
term Court, where the company sought
TO ryadc payment of claim because
their agent had exceeded his authority,
though it was proved that the policy
holder had used every precaution to act
within the terms of her contract.
We have always encouraged the dcvcl-
opmcnt OF home industries by home

day commends itself more heartily than
this does to the favorable coasd-

Fires ind

Will somebody explain why about all
our great confiagrations come on Sun
days? Baltimore's came on Sunday, as
did Chicago's. Boston's started at a
late hour Saturday night, but it ragged
over Sunday. One plausible way of ac-
counting for 1t Is that the business
places that are alive with human ac-
tivity six days Of the week are closed
on the seventh and at the most have
the care only Of a Waterman. Under
such conditions flames may burn for
hours without detection and particu-
larly in the day, when even the vigil
lance Of a Waterman will likely be re-
Taxed. The fire which on any business
day would be instantly and successful
~ combated has on Sunday time to
spread and gain Roadway which is not
easily overcome.-Boston Herald.

the land have been figuring ON how to
tern the lessons learned at that time to
good account. A porous brick saturat-
ed with oil and placed in the stove was
found to be an excellent substitute for
the ordinary fuel, and porous bricks
had a good sale In many localities. An
other scheme was the employing Of an
oil burner In the stove fed by means Of
= tube connecting with a tank placed
at q higher level.
Now comes a combination Of the two
schemes that have been referred to.
The inventor presents as the result Of
his investigation into the subject an APP
propriately shaped porous brick, to
which is attached a tube whose other
end is connected with a tank Of oil sit
uated at a greater elevation, SO that the
oil Is fed regularly to the brick, the
amount Of flow being regulated by a
stopcock conveniently placed within
reach Of thesperson who tends the stove.

HOW TO LOVE A GIRL
Care Should BE Taken to Discrimi-
nate Among Many Varieties.

nate Among Many Varieties.
All girls like to be loved, but they
are not all alike, and care should be
taken to discriminate among the many
varieties.
In making love to an old maid the
p~reliminaries only are necessary. Give
her a fair start, and she will do the
rest. Remember that she is making up
for lost time and hold on tight and
shut your eyes. As long as she has
taken the u don't fear the result.
You needn't do a thing.
When she is young and innocent,
with a frank, openwork countenance
and with no experience. get up early
every morning and watch her door,
step. There are others on the same
trail, and if you wish to be an active
member of the club you must do your
share of the work. If she accepts flow
ers and fruit readily. do9't get too gay.
This is only your privilege. And when
you feel that you cannot stand it n
longer tell her so and leave the rest to
her. She will be your teacher. You
needn't do a thing.
With a widow be calm and unmoved
In the face of danger. You are in for
1t, and don't get ratified. Sit around
where you can be reached and submit
to everything. But remember that SO.
far as you are concerned there is moth
ing doing 1t won't be necessary.
If she is a tall, straight blond, with
lustrous eyes and a large, open smile,
don't allow your feelings to overcome
you. Do the right thing and wait. She
will see that you are well taken care
Of.
Or, If she is any other kind of girl, it
doesn't matter. Don't do a thing your
self. She will do the rest. No matter
how slow you may be, have no fear Of
the ultimate result.
But be sure of n thing-before be-
ginning get a million or so.-Tom Mas

President Roosevelt Issues Executive
Order Concerning Neutrality.
Washington, March 10.-Presiden,
Roosevelt, after a conference with
Secretary of State Hay, issued the
following executive order respecting
the observance of the proclamation
recently promulgated, declaring the
neutrality of the United States be-
tween Russia and Japan.
"All officials of the government
civil, military and naval, are hereby
directed not only to observe the presi.
dents. proclamation of neutrality in
the pending war between Russia and
Japan, but also to abstain from either
actiof or approach which can legiti.
mately cause criticism by either of the
combatants. The government of the
United States represents the people
of the United States, not only in the
sincerity with which it is endeavor-
ing to keep the scales of neutrality,
but ven in the sincerity with which
it deplores the breaking out of the
present war, and hopes that it will
end at the earliest possible moment
and with the smallest possible loss
to those engaged. such a war inevi-
tably increases and lnf1ames the sus-
capabilities of the combatants to any
thing in the nature of an injury or
slight by outsiders.
TOO often combatants make con.
aicting claims as to the duties and
obligations of n%eutrals, so that even
when discharging these duties and
obligations with scrupulous care it is
difficult to avoid giving offense to one
or the other party.
