1T is CHASTITY GAMBLING
Risks Taken by English Insurance
Companies on the Lives Of
Monarchs.

Policies, I'll wager, are already be-
ing taken out in London on the life OF
little Alexis. the new heir to the Rus
sian throne" said an insurance agent,
recently, reports an exchange THE
English gamble horribly in life insur-
ance, and Alexis must appeal to them
as a wonderful risk. They will pay
high for him, though.
"The insurance rates on all royal
lives are a tribute to the power Of the
nihilists and anarchists. for they are
so huge as TO be almost prohibltive
The rate on the king Of England is
enormous. and among monarchs HIS
is the lowest rate Of any. That on the
Russian car is the highest. The car
is a bad risk. Many companies would
not insure him on any consideration.
But Lloyds, the great London con-
Germ, would insure anything or any
body-Prof. Langley going up in one
Of his flying machines, a japanese SPY
about to enter Port Arthur, a Russian
batueship going into battle. And
hence Lloyds is willing to insure the
poor little Russian heir, and a certain
class of men, taking advantages Of
this fact are procuring policies upon
the baby's life.
Gambling on lives is a CHASTITY
form of sport and l believe that II IS
pracuced nowhere but in England. It
ought not be practiced there. The law
ought to prohibit it. At Lloyds. how
ever, 1t is always going on. Policies
at Lloyds are continually being taken
out on persons Of eminence all over
the world"

NEGRO CHURCH is STRONG
Colored Organization Formed in At
RIGA Gets Beyond Control
of Founder.

II has long been known by those IA
miliar with the negro in America that
be can be appealed to through his emo
tional and religious side more quickly
and surely than In any other way. This
has recently had startling demonstra-
ton in South Africa, where an ALIEN
bracing union Of the natives has been
brought about through the establish
ment Of native church. -Four years ago
Wesleyan preacher Of Pretoria left his
denomination and began the organlza-
ton of united colored church under
the name of the Church Of Ethiopia. "
The. idea spread swiftly through South
Africa. surrounding tribal barriers.
The church soon got beyond the execu-
tive control of its founder. and aid was
sought from the African Methodists Of
this country. So firm has the union be-
come that II is said TO be assuming a po-
litical significance. many Of the younger
negroes having raised the cry Of africa
for the Africansl" and threatened TO
turn the whites out Of the colonies.

DOGS AS AID TO WOUNDED
Scotch Collies Adopted as a Part Of
italian Army to Retrieve
Injured Soldiers.

II has been recently recorded that
our friend, the Scotch collie. has been
appearing In a striking. new Italian
military role. A Milan paper recent
ly appeared with an interesting &C
count OF the manner in which little
corps Of collies has been added to the
Italian army and turned into dogs Of
war. They are not used for fighting,
but for retrieving wounded soldiers.
Their trainer, Capt CiotOla, has adopt
ed the method employed with the st.
Demands. In the training process the
captain employs his men to play the
part of the wounded. These collies,
however on finding wounded sol
der. are not trained to haul the man
along with them. but they carry a
small wallet OF restoratives, to render
first aid. After the wounded man has
been refreshed the collies hurry of to
give the signal to the scouts Of the
army, who then bring the wounded
into the relief line. One OF the col
lies, Asia by name, cOaxes and encour-
ages the wounded man 10 accompany
her, II he can; falling that, she dashes
of and IN little while returns con-
voying the search party. Another
who is called Mars, on finding one OF
the wounded, takes TO the nearest high
ground and raises a howl to summon
the ambulance men.
