THE MUSIC THAT CARRIES.

THE MUSIC THAT CARRIES.
I've toiled with the men the world
has blest
And I've toiled with the men. who
failed
I've toiled with the men who strove
with zest,
And I've toiled with the men who
walled.
And this is the tale my soul will tell.
AS it drifts over the harbor bar;
The sounds of sigh don't carry WE'LL
But the Tilt of laugh rings far
The men who are near the glumbler 8
side
o, they heard not word he said
The sound of a song rang far and wide,
And they hardened to that instead,
Its tones were sweet as the tale they
AS the rise of the Christmas star
The sound of sigh don't carry well,
But the Tilt of a laugh rings far
The ante room to heaven is found
in loyal love and in an unsullied
home life.
The right kind of man allows the
whole word to see by his manner, his
expression and his life when he loves
good woman, but he keeps for her
alone those demonstrations of affection
which resd no audience.
Sympathy and encouragement are
the spurs to greater deeds One grain
OF sympathy can be compared to a
grain of mustard seed but one seed
planted and replanted will be enough
to finally spread over the largest field
A living seed once fell from a flying
birds beak into the crevice of rock
1t grew and multiplied until finally it
burst the rock in twain. This is a
scientific fact, real happening. Be
not selfish with your words of encour-
agement and sympathy There is
nothing 80 Cheap" and yet nothing
can be more valuable.
What this old world needs is more
sympathy and more encouragement.
Why does boy consider his mother
his best friend2 Because he can carry
to her his troubles and feels that she
understands and will sympathize with
him. Why does this self same boy
grow to be man seeking mate ?
More sympathy. The companionship
and encouragement of kindred soul.
We say man land that includes woman
also marries for love- and what is
love but sympathy? The way of life
is filled with dreary places. To most
of us, our pathways are strewn with
bitter disappointment Our weary
feet instead, of treading velvet
cushions of green sod, stumble over
Jagged rocks. 1t is then, that we
seek an oasis of sympathy. We long
to pour into sympathetic ears the tale
OF our troubles, our hopes and our
ambitions. It is then the value of
human sympathy is appreciated

tied to such yearly accountings from
those who are charged with their in
tefest and are conducting their af-
fairs. The gambling spirit is not in
voked when annual dividend policies
are written and every policyholder
receives what belongs to him, and
nothing more The immoral elements
or lottery gains, however alluring, is
excluded, wnen the company is requir-
ed to pay dividends annually. The
accumulation of dividends which be-
long to the policyhoiders and are erro-
nously called companys surplus, IS
the chief cause OF all the EVIL which
has afflicted the great system of life
insurance.
There are a NUMBER Ui companies
which have never written anything
else but annual dividend policies. They
Lave enueavored to inform the public
of the evil tendency which would re-
suit from tontune or long distribution
porous pup The public aid not heed
the warning. These companies now
see their predictions realized, and
while they regret the injury which
may come to the great system of life
insurance on account of the departure
from the fundamental principles
which underlie the great system. yet
all must realize that the recent devel-
Opments IN the life insurance world
will ultimately help the system and
will make life insurance cheaper and
better in the and.
| 1t does not seem that in the light
of recent developments any sane, sem
| sible business man would consent to
take policy in any company and
leave his dividends with the company
to accumulate. Demand of the COM
pany in which you insure that it pay
you an annual dividend. and then look
| to the amount of this dividend as the
| test of merit of your company. De-
mand of the company that the surplus
| arising from your payments each year
| be returned to you so that they may
/ not be exposed to uncertainty or illu-
| sive estimates as to the. cost of your

INSURANCE SURPLUS.
Insurers Should Demand an Annual
Dividend in Company in Which
They are Insured.

To the Edtor:-At the present time
there is some discussion going on
as to the proper disposition of the
surplus or dividends of a Life Insur-
ance Company. Insurance Commits
sioner Cutting, of Massachusetts. in
his 1905 report says of tontine or
long distribution plan: This democrat
izing form of contract which is re-
sponsibe for a large part of the evils
i'm life insurance, ouoht to be prohibit"
ed i'm every State for a longer period
than five years Gas has been done re-
Gently by the legislature of Wlscoh'
SIM
Under this form it is the officers
who determine the amount of the Ill
dend. and the policynolder has no
right to demand even an account OF
it,
1t would be we'll in discussing the
subject of what disposition should
be made of the surplus arising in
life insurance company, TO consider
the sources from which this surplus
arises. The dividend surplus arises,
first. from the difference between the
rate of interest required as a reserve
to mature the policy. and the hlgher
rate received on the invested assets
second. from the difference between
the death losses sustained during the
year and the expected losses shown
/ by the tables; third by the difference
between the margin which is added to
/ the net premium to meet the expenses
| of conducting the business and the
actual expenses incurred
| Under the tontine system by which
surplus is distributed for long pc
riod of years. expenditures for new

At Seventy-ninth street the brakes once
more became set, and this time the motor
man was unable 10 avoid collision. The
car rammed the rear Of the omnibus, and
there was a great splinterng OF wood and

CHILDREN OF THE RICH.
Prof. Bailey OF Yale Finds That They Are
Nearly as Numerous as Those OF the Poor.

New HAVEN. Feb. ie..-By means Of his
class in sociology Prof. W. B. Bailey. head
Of the political economy department at
Yale, has just refuted the race suicide
theory among the rich. proving that the
number of children among the poor is only
q fraction more than among the rich.
Recently Prof. Bailey has been gathering
data from the 800 seniors and juniors who
take his courses here on the size Of families
of which they are members. Each student
was provided with blank which when
filed out comprised n brief family history.
Prof Bailey had already gathered similar
data from the poor in New York and else
where. A comparison Of the two sets Of
figures showed that the average family
Of the rich was 3-5 children while with the
poor it was a fraction less than 4
Among the Yale families from which
Prof. Bailey took his statistics the families
having one child comprised per cent. of
the whole number. About 10 per cent.
had two children and over 20 per cent.
claimed three children. The largest family
among tho students was eleven children.
against several families of fifteen and
more among the poor in New York.

There was story around tho Criminal
Courts Building yesterday that the Grand
Jury was investigating or was about to
investigate a charge in which lawyer
who plays politics was concerned II IL
known that Black, Ocott. Gruber
Bonynge have written letter to District
Attorney jerome concerning the matter.
Abe Gruber said last night that ex-Judge
Olcott had written the letter. Mr.. Gruber
added:
We have heard that Jerome and two OF
his assistants, Caravan and Kresel. have
been going around talking about charges
against Republican leaders. Evidently Mr.
Jerome ia trying to intimidate the Repub-
leans into nominating him for some office
next fall but we don't care for him. In
the letter Mr.. Oloott mentioned the names
OF Mr.. Mathews, Mr.. Halpin and other
friends OF our firm and asked that II Mr..
Jerome had any charges to make they be
made openly without any John Doc pro-
ceedings."
William Halpin is president OF the Re-
publican county committee. Arnitage
Mathews is the secretary Of the Rspublion
county committee and was once Alderman
from Mr.. Grlber's district. It was said
that Mr.. Oloott In his letter, protested
against any proceedings unless there was
an examination before Magistrate. or
the regular proceedings before the Grand
Jury
When Mr.. Mathews was asked last night
what it vas all about he said he had never
heard anything about it at ALL
When this became known there was some
speculation as to what Mr.. Gruber had in
mind when he made a speech attacking Mr.
Jerome at the Hungarian Republican dinner
to President Roosevelt. Mr.. jerome made
a speech after the President had left tho
dinner Mr., jerome lauded the President
and said something about politicians.
Then Mr.. Gruber made speech which was
not complimentary to Mr.. Jerome.
He criticised the action of Mr.. Jerome
in the Dodge-Morse marriage and divorce
investigation, directing attention to the
indictment Of Messrs. Fursman Hummel
and Steinhardt without any police court
examination. Mr.. Gruber also made some
caustic comments on Mr.. Jerome's political
ambitions, Mr.. jerome did not hear the
speech. as he had left the hall.
The following day Mr.. Jerome refused
to make any reply TO Mr.. Gruber's speech.
Mr.. Jerome was again pestered by re-
porters yesterday. and he said
My reply is nothing more than this:

Vigorously on Kansas Charges.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-President Roose-
welt to-day directed Commissioner Of
Corporations Garfield to begin an immediate
investigation OF the operations of the
Standard Oil Company in Kansas. The
Presidents action was taken on representa-
tons made TO him by Representative Camp
bell Of Kansas, author OF the resolution
which was passed by the House yesterday
requesting the Secretary OF Commerce and
Labor to investigate the cause or causes
Of the low price of crude oil or petroleum
in the United States, especially in the
Kansas fields
The Presidents note to Commissioner
Garfield refers 10 the resolution OF the
House ordering the inquiry and says only;
Act vigorously on the resolution at once.
Mr. Campbell told the President that the
Department OF Commerce could get all the
evidence it needed against the Standard
Oil Company right in Kansas. The COM
pany was inconsed. he declared, at the action
of the State Legislature in establishing a
State oil refinery and was showing dis
position TO get even by refusing to buy the
product of the Kansas oil fields. The price
offered. he said, declined from si.2O to 40
cents. and then the Standard declined TO
buv at all The oil men in Kansas We're
suffering great hardship as result, he said,
for the wells arc running over and there
is no means Of storing more oil in prepara-
ton for a time when II may be found pos
sible to sell.

taken up as soon as the agents OF the ou-
reau can reach the ground.

In Philadelphia to-day there were stand

cars. of which 1000 were loaded with an
thmcte, !, 900 with bituminous coal and the
rest with miscellaneous freight. That these
cars are stalled is due to the difficulty in
getting them unlcaded, as teams find II
almost impossible to work with the streets
in the condition which prevails. The
coal in most cars is frozen so tight that in
order to unload them the cars have first to
be thawed and then the coal picked out.
The holding of these cars at the terminals
works against the movement ali along the
lines and creates a shortage of cars at the
