LIFE ON NAMES FRONTIER
What Caribou Was Like Less Than
Half a Century Ago-Tale Of
Old Settler.

A man who settled at Caribou
46 years ago "reminiscences as fol-
lows: When the writer first came
here, 46 years ago, he settled in a
wilderness. There were no roads
nor boundary lines established.
He was the first settler west of
the village and north of the
stream. He began to clear the
land without the aid of a team, do.
ing the work with his hands, with
only an Ak to aid him, and burning
much of the wood off.
He had to travel p miles by an
old lumber road to reach the grist
mill, and 81 miles to the post of
fee, where he got the RocklanC
Gazette every week. Few of tht
early settlers had either teams Of
money. The mail route was from
Presque Isle to Fort Kent.
The old post Office building il
yet standing, and is occupied as
timber house. The two 120-acr,
lots that the writer then cleared
now have on them three large set
OF buildings, besides a school
house that stands on the spo
where he built his log house.
Fhey also have a telephone lint
What seemed hard then, wit
nothing to do with but the old poo
auger ways, has now been mad
easy enough through modern il
vention and enterprise. Thes

TOM FREED BLIND JERRY.
Care Taken by a sixtssn-Xear-oia
Horse OF His Blind Mate
Is Pathetic.

Tom and Jerry are 16-year-Old

Jerry has been blind for several
wears and Tom has appointed him
self his mates guardian. They
occupy adjoining stalls and spend
hours rubbing noses. /
For a long time after Jerry iost
his sight the stableman found the
blind horse in his companions
stall every morning. He couldn't
understand how he managed to
unite the halter, and told his en-
pIoyer that he guessed somebody
was playing pranks in the stable.
But the pranks continued 30
long that he was directed to solve
the mystery. He hid in the hay,
where he could get a full view OF
Tom and Jerry in their stalls, and
waited developments.
They came at a late hour. Tom
showed his nose over into Jerry's
stall and whinnied. Jerry pOked
his nose close to Toms ear, and
the man in the hay was almost GER
tain that he saw the horse with
the good eyes smile.
Then Tom turned his head
around and looked all over the
stable as if to learn if the coast
was clear. A moment later he
was Juggling away at the blind
horses halter with his teeth and
he didn't stop until his team mate
was free.
Old Jerry slowly backed out Of
his stall and crowded in alongside
of Tom, who greeted him with al
unmistakable neigh of delight

The recent Equitable scandal has
called attention to the fact that the
total assets OF thirty one old line life
insurance companies Of the United
States is lequal 0to the total money
circulation OF the country. Their
assets have increased three and one
half tunes as fast IN the last quarter
OF a century as the wealth Of the
nation. The annual income Of these
Institutions is greater than the rev.
enue receipts Of the national govern
ment, exclusive Of postal receipts
The insurance in force is equal to
one-tenth Of the total wealth OF the
country. or this, the Big -Four, the
New York Life, the Mutual, the
Equitable and the Metropolitan have
considerably more than half. The
annual income Of these four compan-
les is more than four and one-half
times as great as the total revenues
OF China with its four hundred mil
lions of inhabitants; and the amount
paid In salaries Of officers, employees
and agents exceed the yearly salary
list of several European nations. 1t
greatly exceeds the cost Of the United
States Army. Two Of these four
companies are stock companies and
two are "purely mutual az express

CHINESE BOYS IN SCHOOL
Peculiar Methods Of Learning in
Vogue in Educational Institu-
tons of Far East.

When a little Chinese boy is six
years old he begins to go to school,
and the event is so important that
a fortune teller is consulted, so
that a lucky day may be chosen,
says the Brooklyn Eagle.
He always wears new clothes
for the occasion, and, with his
head freshly shaver and his pig
tail nicely plated down his back
he walks beside his father until he
reaches the school.
Here he marches up to the
teacher and gives him a present.
Then he burns incense before N
tablet bearing upon it the revered
name of COnfucius. Afterward
takes his place on a high stool b
hind one of the many little De-
and draws out from the gR
sleeves, which serve him as pd p
cts, his slate, toys and books.
In Chinese schools they do not
study as we do here, but each boy
shouts as loud as he can. When
he has learned his lesson he goes
up and gives his book to the teach
er then turns his back and recites
it in as loud a voice as possible.
When he learns to count ne uses
balls, set in a frame like a slate.
These balls slide on wires.
In writing the Chinese boy does
not use a pen, but a small brush
dipped in ink. Each boy makes
his own ink by putting water on
a stone and rubbing a cake of India
ink over it. With this he fills his
brush and beginning at the tor
right hand corner of the paper
writes toward the bottom, put
ting one word after the other, in
stead of beside it, as we do. Book
are printed in the same way, anC
begin where ours end. If yol

MANY RELICS
Hasbrouek Home in Newburg, N. X
Full Of Reminders Of the
Revolution.

The beautiful city Of Newburg,
on the Hudson river, has hon
ored itself and conferred a price
less boon upon the state by pre-
serving the old HasbrOuck house,
which served as Washington's

the kitchen. The ceilings are low,
with heavy timbers of hewn wood,
which support the floors OF the
upper rooms, originally only four
in number. The slOping roof is
sustained by long timbers OF
roughly hewn cedar wood, which
still gives out the pleasant odor
peculiar to that tree.
While some changes have been
necessary, the house to-day is very
nearly just what it was when Gen.
