THE WOMAN AHEAD.

"Speakin' about people bein' 'sot in
their ways" said the old mountaineer,
but recollect that soon after me and
the old woman was married we quar-
relied bout sunthun' one mawnin' and
sot out to see who was the sottest We
sot right thar in the house all day and
all night without speakin and we
might hev bin sottin' yit but Eur the
Lawd."
How did he interfere?" I asked.
why, jest about daylight thar come
up a thunderstorm, and the fust bolt o.
lightnin' struck the cabin and sot it ON
fire. We both jumped at the same time,
and we both yelled out at once and we
both had to hustle to put out the blaze.
We hadn't got over our sotness, how
ever. When the fire was out stands in
the doah and perlitely says:
'' Excuse me, ma am, but does Reube
Hope live hereabouts?'
HE do, she answers, givin' me
kerchy, and what might yo' want o.
him?'
Il want to ask if he married an
idiot
II never heard that he did, but it's
all over the state of Tennessee that his
wife was jined to a drafted fule.'''

INSURANCE COMBINE.
All Companies in United States
to Sign Agreement.

Philadelphia, March 1.-THE Inquirer
says that the national board of fire in
surance underwriters, at a meeting held
in New York, came to an agreement
with a committee of twenty, represent
ing insurance companies by which all
fire insurance companies in this coun-
try and all foreign companies repre-
scented here will form a combination.
Uniform rates, says the Inquirer, are
to be fixed for the same class of risks
in all cities, uniform legislation in all
states and cities is to be advocated
and all technical work of all the COM
paEies is hereafter to be done by CEN
trail board instead of local state or city
boards as has been the custom.
Old insurance men state that this is
the first time the companies have been
able to agree upon plans, although the
subject has been frequently proposed.
Had we gotten together long ago"
said one of the leading insurance men of
the city, I'VE would not now be seeing
an average ash heap of $50, 100000 every
year in this country"
A special committee of seven was ap-
pointed at the New York meeting to
carry out the plans and an assessment
made upon each company doing bust
ness in the country to make up a fund
of 100000 annually to carry on the
work

1T begins to look as if the dream of
all insurance men for years was about
to be realized. The combination of all
companies for united action as agreed
on in New York is in no sense a trust.
1t might be likened to a ombination of
all railroads to have the civil engineer

a central body and all improvements
upon uniform plan.
The committee of seven appointed
will now plan and aid in carrying out a
similar series of regulations affecting
the safety of buildings in all cities
Similar districts in all cities will be
rated the same, so that the merchant in
one city will know he is faring just the
same as his rival in another city if their
business places are similarly located.
There will still be use for local boards
