GRANGE LIFE INSURANCE.
a Subject That Demands Considera-
tion by the National Grange.

There is now in the hands of Il com
mjttee of the national grange Il reso-
luton relative to grange life insurance
that many hope to see definite and ia
vorabe action upon at the meeting of
the national body this fall Recent dis
closures concerning the life insurance
companies suggest that right now is a
good time to start Il movement to es-
tabiiSh life insurance companies by
oranges and for grangerS. Can it be
done: y few years ago. remarks an
a"ricultural Journal when the propO-
'ili0n to start grange fire insurance
companies was made, the question was
can it be done" Many said NO"
Many others were doubtful \ few
said Yes" The regular FIRE insurance
company managers smiled in derision
The few believers went ahead and
tried it, The result is success. The
grange insurance on farm property
now amounts to Il great total, and the
grange insurance is the best in the
country, cheap, safe, reliable and salts

the better of him and to make an end
Of the violent and bitter controversy
between us.
l will explain as briefly as possible
my grievance against Sir Robert. If
told in full the story would be long and
would involve many wrongs which
shall not mention here. | will try to
make the whole matter comprehensive
by relating only the pit.rul romance in
which Sir Robert and Sylvia Mayne
and Arthur Tyrrell were the principal
characters. This takes me back to the
time when Sir Robert was living in the
town Of Blrlock near Birmingham.
England, before he came to America I
have never been in England and have
not had an accurate description of Bar
lock, but l know what happened there.
1t was in the highest degree important
to me
Robert Denning inherited from his
father the remnant of considerable
fortune, including a controlling interest
in bank. The bank was in a bad way
and threatened to involve the whole es-
tate in disaster, but Robert put its af-
fairs to rights within one year after he
took charge Of it, for he was a much
better business man than his father had
been. The two had differed radically
upon questions of business policy. and
they were estranged ut the time of the
elder Dcnning's death.
One of Roberts first administrative
acts was to demand the resignation of
the banks cashier, who was Old and
somewhat feeble and would have with
drawn voluntarily except that he had Il
wish to toll 4 few weeks more and
round out forty years of service Be
sides, there was the matter of Il pen
sion which he had been led to expect,
but did not get On the day when he
was finally compelled to yield his place
to more serviceable man lie said to
Robert by way of farewell:

and man O business. You've done

Was hand was pledged to Sir Robert.
The wedding occurred within a few
days. and TyrreIl carried a broken
heart in his breast when he went back
TO London.
Five years later. as the result of
steadily increasing and irreconcilable
differences, Sylvia left her husbands
home. never to return. She fed in Sc
cret. for thus only could she take her
son with her The letter which she
wrote to Sir Robert has come into my
hands, and it is one Of my most treas
ured possessions. Therein she states
with precision the reasons for her act
reasons which she had stated less calm

deny it. But the best thing you've dom
for it by long odds was worrying your
old, incompetent father into his grave
l can imagine Roberts amazement
and righteous indignation. He never
was able to believe that any person
was sincere in accusing him of wrong.
His rectitude was in his own eyes thy
fundamental certainty which must be
obvious to all men. 1t could not be
questioned except from dishonest mo
tives or mere spite, as in the present
instance.
Robert would never argue with Il dis
honest man nor deign to defend him
self from the assaults of malice, and
Of course it was beneath his dignity to
quarrel with discharged employee.
Therefore to the charge that he had
killed his father he replied with cold
statement Of Il general truth, as was
his custom in such cases.
"A man is better dead than bank
rupt," said he and turned his back upon
the old cashier.
Though he loved money. Robert was
& )niser. He lived in fine style and
Would pay the price of anything that
he desired. He bought shrewdly, but
never grudgingly, and he knew how TO
make pound worth two by having it
ready at a moments notice. A prompt
loan to a man of exalted station paved
the way to knighthOod, and the banker
became Sir Robert when he was about
thirty years old.
In Sir Roberts house there dwelt
somewhat less than a dozen poor rela-
lions. They were part of the young

WINDSOR CASTLE, n His
MYSTERIOUS WHITE RACES.
No Room for Them in Present-Day
knowledge.

From Chambers Journal.
The idea that in some remote parts of
the tropics, amid the dark-skinned races,
there exist mysterious isolated white tribes
bearing strong resemblance to Europeans
has long possessed curious fascination
for the old world. For years stories
of such a race have been told in the Per-
sian gulf and the Rev. S. NJ. Zwemer, an
American missionary stationed al Muscat,
alluded some time ago to coffee house
babble in eastern Oman concerning mys-
FERROUS race of Hght-compleXiOned people
who live somewhere in the mountains, Shun
strangers and speak language of their
own" Various theories have been pro-
pounded to explain the fable, but probably
the explanation is to be found in the mar
rative of a journey made in Oman in 1876
by Colonel S. B. Miles, published some
time ago in the Geographical Journal.
Colonel Miles, in the course of his travels
nearly thirty years ago, came across a town
named Sheraizi in the heart of the Green
mountains This strange place was perched
like an eagles nest on the top of a great
cliff, and was inhabited by a people of
lighter skin than the rest of the tribes of
the interior. They rarely descended to the
plains, and refused to mix or intermarry
with the Arabs. Colonel Miles found they
were the descendants of a portion of the
Persian army which invaded Oman in the
tenth century. The isolation of the town
and the curious behavior of its people
through SO many generations would I'M
doubtedly give rise to exaggerated stories
in the bazaars on the distant coast, and in
this case the origin of the fable may be re-
garded fairly certain.
Unfortunately for the romance of the
world, it seems practically impossible for
stories of this character to have the ORR
gins novelists would wish The world is
comparatively small today. The trail of
the explorer is over every land from Para
quay to Tibet. Forbidden lands are en-
tered, hidden cities exist only in the mag
nation of the fictionist. In period when
trains run to Bokhara and. the great Afri-
can lakes, when the tourist appears at
Khartoum, and LhasSa itself is threatened,
there is room for a mysterious white
race. Even the dark continent is no Ion
ger allowed to have its mysteries. The
photographer sits on the battered walls of
Kano; the Fulani emperors have passed

Fur-Bearing Animals Scarce.
n the st. Paul Dispatch.

From the st. Paul Dispatch.
That the days of trapping in northern
Minnesota are nearly ended, and that the
industry will soon be thing of the past,
were the words spoken by George Denis,
who has returned from the international
border, where he has been on combined
fur-buying and land-seeking trip.
II saw no white trappers on this trip"
said Mr.. Denis. They were all Indians or
breeds. I got some fox, marten, mink and
muskrat furs. Otter and beaver you know
are barred. 1t is against the law to handle
these furs in Minnesota, North Dakota,
Montana and Manitoba. There are some
beaver and otter yet in northern Mime
sofa, but they are no longer plentiful l
got few silver gray fox skins on this trip
and l heard of two black fox skins that had
been sold up north this winter. The blacks
are very scarce and are quoted from $3.50
up. but there are some skins that bring
as high as $1,000. 1t all depends upon the
quality of the fur. / shall soon leave on a
fur-buying trip 500 miles north of Winni-
peg. beyond the Porcupine Hills. There 1
will be at liberty to buy beaver and otter,
and there is doubtless ermine to be had
there also"
