Santa Claus came early this morning and
he got my father and a cOlOred woman
who lives close He cut a round hole in
the wall and reached through ana grabbed
my father and tore him all to pieces, a
little bit at a time. He had grab hooks
on his hands, and he tore the old man up
and pulled him into the hole. If YOU
can't find the old man. look in that hole
but look out for that Santa Claus And
that amt all. A neighbor woman comes

''What the average purchaser of life
insurance doesn't know about the

good sized book printed with very mar

pert For instance, talked not long
since with man who fancied he was
insured for $4,000 on the fifteen year
endowment plan. That is, he thought
he had to make payments for fifteen
Hyears-which was true-and that at
the end of that time he could get
$40, 200 in cash or take a part in cash
and a part in paid up insurance,
which, as it turned out, was not true.
The rate he was paying was so very
low for what he said he was getting

when looked at it found, just as he
might have found on a brief examina-
ton, that while he was insured for
life. with only fifteen yearly payments,

1t is by no means an uncommon in
cident to find crows paying a great
deal of unwelcome attention to new
balls on the golf course. Sometimes
the crow, attracted by the dazzling
white object on the grass, swoops
down upon it and carried it off to its
nest. A curious illustration of this
prying behavior occurred the other
day on the course of Hedderwick. Two
players drove the balls from the third
tee, and almost before the balls had
ceased to roll crow flew down and
seized one of them in it's beak. It car
ried the ball for about fifty yards and
dropped it on the putting green. The
bird was here Joined by a flock of
crows from neighboring rookery, and
a combined and vicious onslaught with
beak and claw took place upon the in
nocent ball. 1t was only after the
players had bombarded the flock of
crows with a number of stones that
they were enabled to recover the much
pecked ball.-London King,

Yes, sab; 1 will, sah,' replied the man
as he bowed and scraped and grinned and
went away.
This was just before noon. At II o'clock
I went home with the major to lunch,
and as we reached the house he invited
me to step around and see his Leghorns.
To his intense surprise and disgust there
wasn't a chicken about the place, al
though feathers were plentiful. Every
one had been stolen the night before, and
very likely by Moses Saunders.

TILTED BY A WIDOW.
Charles Witt Is Accused of Trying to
Burn Her Up.

Chicago. Dec. 26.-Jilted by wild
ow, in whose house he had roomed
for several months, Charles Witt is
alleged to have attempted to burn her
dwelling. Failing to gain entrance to
the residence, he is said to 4have broken
open the door of the vacant house ad-
joining and to have set fire to it with
the idea that the flames would spread.
The blaze was discovered by Mrs.
Edward Hensel, who occupies rooms
below Mrs. Bertha Brasen. the widow.
She told the police she saw a man
crawling out of a side window of the
building soon after the blaze started.
She said he went across the street and
watched the flames spread. Her de-
scription of the man led to the arrest
of Witt.

he could not get the $4,000, or any
part of it, for a good many years
more. No insurance. company in the
world will permit the fooling of pa
iron like this if it can help it, and yet
to attribute such a mistaken idea to
fraudulent misrepresentation on the
part of an unworthy agent would not
always be fair. Many men who take
insurance, and especially those who
do not decide to go in until they have
looked at 1t long time, go in finally
with a rush. They don't give the
agent time to tell them what they are
getting, and often don't find out for
years afterward. Another thing that
many insured persons do not know is
that rebate on the first payment, ar
ranged between the insured and the
agent sometimes renders the whole
transaction invalid = Philadelphia

CHRISTMAS TOO MUCH FOR HIM.
Six-Year-O1d Chicago Boy Victim OF
Heart Failure.

Chicago, Dec. 26.-The excitement
of Christmas eliminated in sorrow in
stead of joy for 6-year-old Louis
Simmons. The chilPs joy, the sight of
his humble but to him gorgeous pres
ents, his little stocking filled with
sweets and popcorn and the tlny
Christmas tree proved too much for
him and he was suddenly taken
violently i'll.
Feebly asking for the presents
which Santa Claus brought him, the
little boy was discovered by his moth
err in one corner of the room almost
unconscious. He was removed to a
hospital, where his condition was pro-
nounCed serious and his case
diagnosed as heart failure.

COMPANY TO EXPAND.
American Order of Annuity to De-
velOp Wider Field of Work.

Preparations are being made by the
American Order of Annuity, a little
fraternal insurance order which was
organized at Howard, Kan. and has
been developing a good business, to
spread out and take a place in the
wider field of fraterna1 insurance.
F. H. Keifer of Howard, H. V. Rice
and A NJ. keene of Fort Scott were
in Topeka Saturday comforting with
Charles w. Barnes, assistant superin-
tendent of insurance, in regard to the
preliminaries of this expansion. The
order will probably proceed to incor-
porate under the laws of the state, and
reach out into other states for bust
ness.
F. II. Kiefer of Howard the president
OF the new order, is one of the leading,
lodge men of the state. He has a pub
fishing house at Howard which makes a
speciality of publishing lodge books. His
style OF record books are used by hun
dreds OF lodges and he has made lot of
money at the business The plan upon
which the American Order of Annuity is
ordinary fraternal insurance order. but it
ana VIII probably do so on a larger basis
OF operation 1t will give Kansas another
Dig insurance order similar to the knights
and Ladies of Security. The headquarters
OF the new ordor under the prCDosed re-
organization will be Howard, Kan, the
