0bligiag Railroad Rule.

Joseph. H. Choate observed
recently that of all the witty men
he had met during his stay in
London the one whose quickness
of humorous perception most
nearly approached the American
type was the clergyman the late
Dean Hole.
Mr.. Choate says that be was
one of a party with Dean Hole to
cross the channel after a visit to
the continent. The voyage had
been a rough one, and the Dean
had suffered greatly during the
whole trip. When the party
landed at Dover, the Dean, in
strolling about the railway sta
ton, chanced to stop before a
printed notice of the company's
rules posted on the wall. AS Mr..
Choate came up the Dean said:
"Mr. Ambassador, it occurs to
me that after that stormy voyage
of ours we have at least one ad-
vantage in making the subse-
quent trip to London"
:How so ?" asked Mr.. Choate.
"Why," replied the Dean, ~
perceive by this notice that the
company carries returning emp,
ties at reduced rates. "-Harper's

The Business of the Day.

Representative Champ Clark
tells of an amusing story in con.
nection with the inauguration OF
Thomas T. Crittenden as Cover
nor of Missouri, a ceremony at
tended with more frills than any
other in the State since the civil
war.
According to Mr.. Clark, there
were on this occasion military
organizations and bands galore,
and special carloads of people
came from Kansas City and St.
Louis to witness the pageant.
Captain Hawley, of St. Louis,
was Grand Marshal of the day.
Lieutenant Governor Brockmey-
er, a quaint character, was pre-
siding over the Senate, and as he
awaited notice of the time for the
Senate to proceed to the hall OF
the House of Representatives,
where the two bodies in joint ses-
sion were to receive the new Gov
ernor, be lolled back in his chair
on the Presidents stand and
smoked a big corncob pipe with
the utmost nonchalance.
The Senate lobby was crowded
and Senators were in their seats,
on the tiptoe of expectancy, for
the strains of martial music could
be heard from all directions. AT
this juncture a figure in a glitter
ing and brilliant uniform pushed
through the crowd and marched
half way up the aisle. This was
Marshal Of the day Hawley.
Drawing MS sword, he made a
profound military salute, and an
nounced, with much pomposity
"Mr. President, the Governor
of Missouri and his staff now ap-
proach ~
Withoutremoving his pipe from
his mouth, Lieutenant-G Governor
Brockmeyer responded: "Vell,
let him come; dot is vot we are
here for" "-Harper's Weekly.

Everything Limited.

The old farmer went to one
end Of the swapping coach to wash
his hands says the Chicago News.
He could find only a few rem
nants of soap. boy" he
drawled, " there don't seem to be
much soap here"
mo, sah," chuckled the por-
ter; &C you know dis is de linn
tied. Ebbrything abod am linn
tied"
Then the old man tried to fill a
glass from the water-cooler. He
could force out only a few drops.
Where's the water, boy ?"
"Not much water, sab. Dat
am limited too
Presently the porter brushed
the old farmer down and the lat
ter handed him nine coppers.
Why, boss" protested the
porter, "you glib de porter on de
udder train a quarter. %
Il know that" chuckled the
old farmer: F" but you know this
is the limited, and everything
should be limited"

The Press Speaks Well Of the Big Show.

The Eastern press where the Great
Van Amburg Show has exhibited speaks
in the highest praise of the perform
auces given by it. This show is not
only one of the big ones but the very
best in the country. Securing at high
salaries the very best artists in the
show business, the performances are
always up to date and highly entertain
ing. While it amuses, it is at the same
time school of ms -ructlon for both OLD
and young, and IN opportunity to pay a
visit to this gigantic amusement enter
prise should not be neglected. The
town and country is extensively billed,
and there will no doubt be a big crowd
in Manning on Thursday, November
23d, the day of exhibition. Don't miss
the free street parade in the forenoon
and the free shows on the grounds.
Two performances in Manning, after
noon and evening.

What She To1d Them.

Recently a Kansas woman, Miss
Margaret M. Mather, delivered
a lecture to some of her sisters
which seems to have surprised
them, to say the least of it.
Among other things she told them
that character, ability and intel,
lectuality no longer weigh much
in the social scale. When one
mother asks another if her daugh-
ter married we'll the usual answer
is affirmative or negative accord
ing to the size of the check the
bridegroom can sign.
The Chicago Journul thus sums
up the points of her lecture
l. The compleSity of modern
life has reduced the Joy of living
to a minimum. Cause Women
have the fever for gold, their
ideals are tainted with it. Rem
edy:: Insist upon genuine ideals
woman's measure be taken in
worth, womanliness and culture
instead of fine clothes, luxuries
and jewels.
9. Embezzlements and defalca-
tons are growing alarmingly nu-
merous. Cause Thousands of
women are living beyond their
incomes. Few women know what
their incomes are. Few know
what their husbands can afford
to have them spend. Remedy ::
LetNwomen be taught the value
of a dollar. Let them learn to
do housekeeping as a business in
stead of trusting the manage
ment to incompetent servants.
3. Young women are refusing
to marry men with modest in
comes. The young woman Of
the present expects her husband
to begin financially where her
father left off. Cause: Girls are
permitted to be extravagant and
wasteful. They cannot appre-
ciate the value of hard-earned
money. Remedy: Let parents
teach their children the princi-
pies of work and economy and
the management of money at
home. Children should be given
work to do in the home and
should be paid for it.
We have no disposition to butt
into this controversy, The VIC
men are the ones who are pr;:2Ss-
rily concerned and interested,
and if they care to argue the mat
ter with their Kansas sister it's
up to them, and we should not be
surprised if some of them make
warm for her.

ORIGIN OF LIFE INSURANCE.
First Company Began Business in Philadel-
phia in 1892.

At this time, when the current
history of insurance is attracting
so much attention, it is interest
inc to note that the origin of in
surance in this country dates
from 1852 and had it's first begin
ming in Philadelphia.
The first company was the
Philadelphia Contributionship
for the insurance of houses from
losses by fire, and it's insignia
was four clasped hands, which
was it's house badge. This mark
may be seen throughout eastern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey
on old-time houses. The COM
pany survived till 1917.
In 1892 the life insurance COM
pany was founded in the same
city. It was called the Univer-
sal Tontine. The next year SINH
lar companies we're started in
Boston and New York. Its
avoWed aim was ''for the pur-
pose of raising a fund upon lives
to be applied to charitable and
other uses.
Some business was done during
the SIMMER, but in November of
r
that year a general meeting OF
the subscribers was called and
the idea of d general insurance
company was suggested and met
with approval. The proposition
was referred to a committee, and
at an adjourned meeting held at
the State House on November II
it was resolved that "The Uni
versal Tontine Association be,
and is hereby; changed from it's
original object and is converted
into a society to be called The
Insurance Company Of North
America" Its first policy was
issued to John Maxwell Nesbit,
it's President, for S.: 1888 1t
wrote both fire and life insurance,
but the demand for insurance on
life was light, and the business,
which was finally abandoned by
the first company, was not re-
vived until 1920, when Hartford
men took It up and kept it run
ming till it gained the great pros
perity of modern times.-New

In Time of Peace.

In the first months of the Russia-Ja-
pan war we had a striking example Of
the necessity for preparation and the
early advantage of those who, so to
speak, "have shingled their roofs in
dry weather." The virtue of prepara-
tion has made history and given to US
our greatest men. The individual as
well as the nation should be prepared
for any emergency. Are you prepared
to successfully combat the first cold you
take? A cold can be treated much
more quickly when treated as soon as it
has been contracted and before it has
become settled in the system. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is famous for
it's cures OF colds, and it should be kept
at hand ready for instant use. For sale

FIGHTING POWERS NAME ENJOYS
THE WARNING POWERS TO con-
SIDER PEACE IN AUGUST.
while Not acknowledgement Upon
Russia's Real Intentions.

Washington, June 26.-Russia has
given reinsurance Of its intentions in
the peace negotiations by placing the
president in possession OF the tenta-
tive selection Of her plenipotentiaries
as follows:
NJ Nelidoff, Russian ambassador at
Paris, and Baron Rosen, the newly
appointed Russian ambassador at
Washington. Russia thus having tax
en- the initiative. it is believed Mr..
Takahira, the japanese minister, dur
ing his call at the white house today,
informally told the president that
Japan's selection, also tentative, was
Baron KOmura, the japanese minist-
er for foreign affairs, and KOgorO
Takahira, the japanese minister at
Washington.
Official announcement Of the names
Of the plenipOtentiaries is withheld
for several reasons. n NelidOn'S
health may not permit him to make
the trip. and pressure Of official work
may necessitate the presence in Toxic
Of Baron KOmura- Mr.. Takahira and
Baron Rosen are regarded as the GER
tainties, and the belief is that unless
something unforeseen should occur,
both Russia and Japan will consent
to the official announcement Of the
personnel Of the Washington confer
ence within a few days. In any ev-
ent, both missions Will consist of
many advisers, including army and
possibly naval officers from the for
eign offices in Toxic and St Peters
burg. It is expected that altogether
each mission may number ten or
twelve Should six plenipOtentiaries
be chosen, both Russia and Japan
have names under consideration
I'll
the third plenipotentiaries without
delay.
Interest regarding an armistice has
largely diminished in the last few
days, because Of the receipt Of infOr-
nation that the rainy season is be-
ginning in ManChuria- It is believed
that this viii serve the purposes Of
an armistice in preventing a clash be-
fore the converting Of the conference.
Moreover, the informal sOundings in
itiated by the president Of Toxic and
St Petersburg did not yield much
hope for successful negotiations look
ing to an armistice until after the
plenipOtentiaries meet
If Japan is then convinced OF the
serious desire Of Russia for peace, she
will readily consent to an armistice.
The following statement regarding
the meeting Of plenipOtentiaries was
made public at the white house to-
day:
The president has received from
both the Russian and japanese gov
ernments the statement that the plen-
ipotentiaries of the two countries will
meet in the United States during the
first ten days Of August, and the pres
ident has expressed to both govern
ments the wish that the meeting
should take place, II possible, on the
first Of August, and if not on that
date, then at the earliest date.

Chicago, June 23.-The work Of the
federal grand jury investigating the
beef industries shows that the mem
been playing the part Of detectives in
finding Witnesses who may enlighten
them on certain points concerning the
buying Of cattle by the packers.
As a result Of this detective work
by the jurors, Frederick Wood Of
Hampshire, Ill; Christopher Barn
hardt Of Wilmington, Ill, and z. c.
SchOles, a cattle feeder from Burling-
planning the troubles a cattle shipper
has selling his livestock in the Chi
cagO market
J. A Ridgely, general freight agent
for the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, was another witness, together
with two other traffic men whose i'd
entity was closely guarded by the fed
eral officials.
After leaving the jury room scholes
said:
Il told the jurors that the buyers
in the Chicago market Of livestock
seem to have of DAYS and regular
days for bidding. They generally bid
on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the
yards and the prices are generally IN
form
SchOles intimated that on one day
one Of the buyers would bid, and if
the shipper was dissatisfied he would
wait until the next day only to be
confronted with a similar bid, and so
on until he was finally forced to sell
his cattle or have the profits eaten
up by feeding charges at the yards.
