BIG INSURANCE BUSINESS.
Industrial Companies That DO Bust
ness Running UP Into the
Billions.

Thirty-three years ago, a New York
insurance mans attention was attract
ed one day by a rather derogatory refer
ence in the Massachusetts insurance re-
port to the work of an English company
which was insuring the lives of work
ingmen and children on a large scale.
To-day, says the Chicago Chronicle,
that man is president Of one Of three
similar companies which stand pledged
to pay in the future more than $1,000,
100000 to more than 10000, 600 of peo
pie; which are disbursing 100000 a
week to the policy holders in sums aver
aging perhaps 500; which have assets
stored up of nearly $3.50, GOO, and.
most notable Of ALL which collect by
hand s250,000 in ten-cent pieces. Such
a growth within the working life Of one
man Is amazing even in this age Of in
dustrial miracles, and an examination
of its details heightens the wonder
Strangely enough, though one family
out OF every five in the United States
has one or more industrial policies on
some member, the average wel-in-
formed man knows nothing whatever
about the system or it's workings But
ask your household servants, and the
chances are you will find that at least
one of them is paying ten cents a week
to company which guarantees her
800 or so in case of death-enough to
pay for the funeral expenses. This was
the foundation principle of industrial
insurance and is still the dominant
reason for its existence-the avoidance
of burial at public expense or of
leaving a burden of debt upon ones
family. The average cost of burial for
child under two years is from s12 to
S25; the average insurance on children
between one and two years old is
s19.48. At the age of ten the average
funeral expenses is $50, the average
industrial policy is 1894.
From this initial idea, however, the
business has developed cash divi-
dends" and 'paid-up policies" until
now its payments of claims alone
amount to $4,000 900 year in sums
ranging from SIS to 81 600

Dainty Footrear.

To be well and neatly shod is one Of
the first necessities of good dressing,
and the care of footgear brings its own
reward in the way of economy.
For this latter reason, as well as for
comfort. always remove your shoes the
moment you get in the house. Walk
ing up and downstairs ruins a pair of
shoes quicker than walking miles on
the pavement.
Slippers are nice for the privacy Of
ones own apartment, but they are bad
for the feet II worn constantly.
Wet weather makes india rubber
overshoes necessity, though they are
bad on shoes. drawing them out OF
shape and permanently softening the
leather.
Unlacing the ties of the shoes at
night very wide is good. 1t changes
the lace and prevents unshapeliness.
With care shoes last twice as long
as when they are roughly treated, and,
what is more they will look fresh for
a much longer time.

by hand, always saving a burst of
speed to finish on the home stretch. A
notable feature of her performance is
that no demonstration, however vo-

her to better speed and to give forth

AutomobiIes and Good Roads.

The growing glory Of automobile tour
ing. however, lies in the demand it has
created, in all parts of the world where
motor cars are being used for pleasure
or business purposes, for good roads
Here in America the good roads move
mert within recent years, has become
a question of national Importance With
the exception of few states, notably
New Jersey and Massachusetts, the sub
ject of better roads was the last tnougnt
that gave the legislators the least par
ticIe of trouble The automobile Club
of America in its younger days expend-
ed a tremendous amount of argumenta-
tive energy in endeavoring to convince
the la vrnakers of New York that money
exDe.nded on good roads was good
business investment. Their appeals
brought out a few thousand dollars,
somewhat grudgingly given. Finally
the generous sum of 100000 was appro-
nriafed. and at the Forthcoming election

sented to the voters providing that the
state may bond itself for Sc, 900 900 for
ten years for the building of improved
wagon roads.
Agitation has been productive Of sim
liar good results in other states. Gov
ernor Dineen, of Illinois, gave a mark
ed illustration of the growing demand
for better roads in the west when, in his
last message, he made q strong plea for
the expenditure of more money and
careful thought upon road building. His
statement that barely 2 per cent of the
Illinois roads were suitable for traffic at
all periods of the year was no exagger-
alton and scores of other states could
show no higher average. Departments
of highways have been established in
California, Idaho, Minnesota, Mississip-
pi, Missouri, Oregon, Tennessee, North
Carolina, Nebraska and in several Of
the eastern states in which the good
roads movement has languished. Florida

CUTE IN TOPEKA.
GuideIess Wonder to Be at the state

A race horse. racing against time
without a driver or rider, is TO be one
of the features on the track at the
state fair every afternoon. This horse
is "Cute,'' the guide1ess wonder,
owned by V. B. Strong, of New Paltz,
New York. Cute has a record of
2.O4%.
Cute was first brought to the notice
of the public early in the season of
'99. The strange and wonderful feat
of pacing alone at the top of her clip
without bike. driver or any prompt
ing whatever has evoked the greatest
enthusiasm wherever she has exhibit
ed. 1t is not only that she goes alone
that she is looked upon as a marvel,
but the almost human intelligence
which she displays and the hearty
thoroughness with which she enters
into the sport, for such it seems to her.
She requires no pace-maker, no guild
ing, no whipping, no urging, no assist
ance whatever. She knows her lines
thoroughly and goes through them
without faltering, and with the utmost
confidence in her own ability.
