THE AGENT DIDN'T KNOW.
A story of nm Editor and Life In
Hurance Solicitor.

Hurnuce solicitor.
There are today some thousands OF
varieties Of lie insurance policies, each
OF which has technical name and is
capable Of being made quite uninteI-
llgible to the average man. Some un-
scrupulous agents trade on this. Many
do not really understand the meaning
Of terms themselves, but have learned
their lesson parrotlike, and most of
them apparently find 1t unnecessary to
describe In plain English to those
about to insure what they are contract
ing for. The result Is mass Of mis-
information and confusion about the
whole subject.
For instance. an agent was trying to
insure an editor on some new plan.
The editor had theory that any fact
could be put. into plain, everyday Eng
lish II the man behind the fact really
knew. what he was talking about Aft
er listening to an involved flow Of
premiums" deferred dividends"
"cash surrender values" and Optional
choices he said gravely:
"See here, don't understand what
you're talking about. But I'll tell you
what I'll do. If you'll write that prop
osition out in ordinary English so that
an ordinary man can understand it I'll
not only take the policy, but I'll pub
lish the explanation as an article and
pay you hundred dollars for it,"
"Wil n Sure, will" exclaimed the
overjoyed agent, thinking he had in
deed struck an easy Job. And he de-
parted, adjuring the editor not to for.
get.
A week passed by The agent called
Up on the telephone to say that he was
working on the thing. There was less
exultation in his voice
Two weeks more elapsed. The edi-
tor had forgotten the whole thing,
when the agents card came In one
day. 1t was followed by the man him
self.
"Well," said the editor, "got my ar
ticleY"
"N-no," said the agent sheeplsbly,
''The fact is, guess, / can't do 1t the
way you want 1t, after ALL Let's call
1t Off"
1t is hardly too much to say that this
is typical.-Worl Work.

THE CLAM AND THE SAGE.

One day as the Sage was walking along the seashore, he was hailed by d i Clam who said: "Oh, Sage, have long wanted to tell you that I was dissatisfied with my sphere in life, and ask you to help me out of the hole"
 "Out of your shell you mean" re- piled the Sage. "Yes. that's it. I am not only tired of carrying this old -hing around with me, but I am tired of being clam"
 "I see. What other thing do you de- sire to be?"
 Make me. O, Sage. a fisherman. I want to feel how it feels to catch clans instead of being caught. Turn about is fair play, you know" Well have your way about it. Presto change, and now you are a regular New Jersey fisherman. See me tomorrow at this time and place and tell mo how you lka it as far as you have gone"
 Next day. when the Sage passed that way. he found a fisherman sit ting on the sands with his back hump ed up and tears in his eyes.
 Well. my clammy boy, and how does tt go?"
 "oh. Sage, I have had no luck at clamming."
 "No?"
 And I have boil on my leg"
 q see"
 And the butcher and grocer are threatening to sue me"
 "Of course
 And one of my children is down with the humps. and my wife is threatening to leave me for some one who can hustle"
 And what would you?'
 'I would be q Clam again. Oh, Sage, just turn me back into bivalve again. and if you hear any further complaints from me you can make chOwder ot me-

Little Dorothy Warner had a mar row escape from drowning yesterday at noon. She was returning from the normal and in crossing a narrow foot bridge in front of St. Marys church on her wheel. the bicycle slipped, throw ing the little girl in the ditch The ditch was running full and the water was almost thick with mud. She went clear under and almost choked and had it not been for those nearby who quickly helped her out she would have gone under the bridge and possibly have drowned. As it happened she was little worse for the experience aside from being badly frightened. The wheel for the time was lost but was later fished from the canal.

STREET WORK

Marshal Brown and a gang of men are engaged in the very commendable work of fixing up the gutter so that all water will be drained off instead of standing in the street in green stag nant pools as has frequently been the case. There is a particularly low place on the vacant lots just in the rear of the building on the east side of Main street. For the purpose of draining this piece of ground he blow ed a good sized border and opened a way for the water to reach the nearest ditch.
