FEAR FEDERAL RULE
Connecticut. Board of Trade
 Jealous of State Rights.
COST OF INSURANCE WOULD co UP
Supervision by Washington Govern- ment Would Be an Interference With the Privileges of State
 Le4tslature.

HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. 26.-After listening to a report submitted by q committee composed of presidents of Hartford insurance companies the Con- necticut state board of trade passed resolutions opposing the idea of fed eral supervision of insurance. The committee report was adopted unani- mously.
 Appended to the report of the com mittee was a memorandum written by President Durham of the Travellers Insurance company, in which he said:
 T cannot agree with the majority of the committee. of which I am one, in it's intimation that insurance legisla- tion and regulation would suffer from political manipulation in the hands of congress more than it has suffered un- der the present system"
 The report of the committee was ac- cepted and the following resolutions passed unanimously:
 Whereas, the opinion of this body as to the adyisability of federal super ision has been solicited by the Hon. J. F. Dryden, senator from New Jer- sey, and
 "Whereas, this matter has been care fully considered by us in all its bear ings, with the aid of an able report from a committee appointed by the life and fire insurance companies of the city of Hartford; be it resolved:
 First, that in the opinion of this body the agitation looking toward the federal supervision of insurance is an interference with the rights and privi- leges of the individual states as estab- lished by the constitution and the de cisions of the supreme court and is therefore inexpedient.
 Second, that any supervision by federal authorities in addition to that already exercised by the states would result in increased burdens to the com panies and increased cost of insurance to the policy holders without materia benefits to offset same, and
 "Third, this organization desires tt hold it's opinion that at the presen time federal supervision as substi tute for state supervision is unobtain able and the agitation for 1t unwise."

ters to himself, as he came 10 = sud,
den halt, while a creeping sensation
pervaded his cuticle. Peerlng in thG
darkness, he discovered a white.look
lug object lying at the root Of tree
some 20 yards in front of him, from
which the sounds evidently emanated.
Spellbound, he stood rooted to the
spot, his hair bristling, his flesh creep
ing and his knees shifting together.
About this time the stubs. on the
points Of which Shobe was 80 grace
fully, though somewhat uncomfort
ably, reclining, were beginning to give
color to his dreams He dreamed that
he was In the Internal regions, and,
while engaged in the discussion Of
some grave theological subject With
his Satanic majesty, a little demon
came at him with a red-hot pitchfork
Sprlnging to his feet with an unearth
ly yell, that sundered the bonds Of
Jim Peters enchautment and unroot
ed his feet from the ground, the ter.
rifled pedagogue wheeled to the right
about and broke for home with the
speed Of the wind.
Shobe, smarting from the wounds
Of the imaginary pitchfork, and, fear.
ing another thrust, started hastily in
the same direction Catching sight OF
the sheet which, fastened around his
neck, was streaming in the wind be-
hind, and. forgetful Of the fact Of
his having arrayed himself as a ghost
previous to his descent to the regions
below, the apparition lent additional
fear to the already terror-stricken
Shobe, and he fairly few.
Away went Peters, with an unearth.
ly creature Of some sort in his wake;
and on came Shobe with a legion Of
demons, as he imagined, in his rear.
Peters, in going down the slant Of
hill stubhed his toe and, falling for
ward, tainted as he struck the ground
Shobe, blowing like porpoise, lum'
bered past with slightly diminished
speed but with fright aggravated, II
possible, by the persistence of his
imaginary pursuers. Presently his
speed having diminished to such a de
gree that the sheet no longer retain
ing its horizontal position, caught on
limb of fallen tree in such way
as not only to arrest his onward ca
reer, but to jerk him around with hi:
face in the direction OF his imaginary
pursuers. On being thus brought face
to face with the sheet, the recollection
Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1905-12-07

flashed upon his mind at once as to
how it came to be attached to him, and
the righteousness of the idea Of his
getting so badly scared at what he
had intended to brighten another with,
caused him to explode in a volley OF
uproarious laughter.
Wrapping the sheet around him, he
started homeward, and had proceeded
but short distance, when Jim Peters,
having recovered from his swon, hove
in sight.
Catching sight of the queer-looking
object approaching in the opposite d.
rection, Peters took to the woods,
when Shobe, with a demoniac yell,
dashed after him. But, while fear lent
wings to Peters heels, the want OF
that stimulus on Shobe's part enabled
the frightened pedagogue to distance
his pursuer, who presently gave up the
chase and went home, not forgetting
to visit the hollow stump on the way
in order to satisfy himself that the
jug hadn't been disturbed in his abb
sence,
Sunrise next morning found Peters,
with his worldly possessions done up
in a handkerchief, vending his way in
the direction of the setting sun. The
most authentic accounts we have OF
him since then are to the effect that,
after serving a session or two in the
legislature in one of the western
states, he was sent to the penitentiary
for stealing horses. After serving out
his time in the penitentiary, he prac'
ticed medicine awhile; then drove a
stage; and at the present time is a
resident Of Utah, where, with three
slab-sided. lanternjawed women at.
tached to him as wives, he has every
reason in the world for wishing him
self back in the penitentiary again. -

Having finished the shampoo, he
turned on the electric fan. a necessary
adjunct for drying the hair, at the same
time getting 1t tangled in such man
ner that 1t would be necessary to drag
out a fair portion of It to straighten it
out.
He then began combing 1t, end, she
observed, that unlike other hair dress
ers, each time he pulled the comb
through her hair he managed to add a
few more tangles, until at last he was
raking It cut by the combful.
Finally she protested.
"Oh! Yah, yah; das list all recht," he
said, and kept raking It out, and piling
1t in a bunch on the stand in front of
her.
She pointed to the hair on the stand.
and again protested, but he affected to
understand that she referred to the
quality of the hair.
Finally, although all she wanted was
a plain hair dressing with a shampoo,
to cost possibly rs cents, he managed to
give her "marcelline wave" (whatever
that isl, a German hair dressing" with
tonics and other extras.
Upon completing the job, he was able
to write, in very good English bill
for $3.50.
OF course, she was indignant, and
made no effort to conceal her displeas.

whereupon the German, as If still mis-.
understanding her, rubbed his hands
with enthusiasm, and said, with a broad
smile:
"Es list sehr gut; es list reizend."
