The mistake the 'stenderfoot"
makes about advertising, says
the Fargo Forum is that he gets
his eyes glued on the prospective
expense and it acts SO terribly
on the nerves as to cause heart
failure. II you have not the
nerve to follow awell blazed trail,
even though you have never
been over it yourself before, you
were not cut out to be a mer-
chant prince and had betterstay
out of the game.
A nervouslooking nan wentin-
to astore the other day and sat
down for an hour or SO when q
clerk asked him If there was any
thing he could do for him; he said
no he didn't want anything.
The proprietor went to him and
asked him if he wanted to be
shown anything. ''No," said
the nervous man, Il iustwant to
sit around. Ny physician has
prescribed perfect quiet for me
and says above all things |
should avoid being in crowds.
Noticing that you didn't adver-
tise in the paper, thought this
would be as quiet a place as |
could find, SO Just dropped in
for a fewhours ofisolatiOn.' The
merchant picked up a bolt Of
paper cambria to brain him with
but the man went. He said all
he wanted was a quiet lift.

that this state allowed a man to

The woman was assured that in
no state were women better
protected. A man cannot sell a
piece OF property without his
wife's signature to the deed, and
the laws Of the state require a
man to support his family. Her

intact while she acquires adower

of the New York Life Insurance Company
in the injunction proceedings recently in
stituted by the New York Life Company

sorui license.
In the reply filed today Mr.. Van Diver ac-
cuses President Mccall of debauching pub

ing the funds of policyholders by etrav-
agant ventures and recklesS speculation.
The answer fills ten typewritten pages.
It contains direct and severe attacks on
President Mccall, Vice President George

York Life.
1t directs specific attention to the charge
that Mccall and Perkins have, in bad and
questionable real estate Investments, lost
81 ,00o.Oee of the company's money.
He maintains that the Missouri insurance
department has the right to require insur-
ance companies doing business in the state

sure the funds Of the policyholders.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
BOSTON, Mass, December 2.-Prof. A. II.
Kirkland of the Massachusetts gypsy moth
commission has made public statement be
fore the association for the suppression of
the gypsy and brownkil moths, that these
two pests have ravaged 2,0S3 miles OF ter
ritory in New England and are fast being
carried to other states and into Canada to
work the same costly destruction.
The damages caused by these scourges
since their Introduction here will total well
above five million dollars, and they promise
to become a national evil. No vegation is
safe from their ravages. Cotton, corn, to-
bacco, pine tree and fruit orchards alike
will suffer If they get a foothoid in re-
gions where these products prevail
Experiments with cotton plants conducted
long ago proved that the gypsy moth lives
upon then and eats into the hearts OF the
young bolls, as does the boil weevil. The
moths are particularly destructive to pine
timber, as the pine does not seem to sur
vive the stripping of its foliage as do other
trees. One attack from colony of moths
will kill pine, while other trees survive
two or three attacks The moths so
readily propaglted and carried long dis
tances that state entomologists are begin
ming to fear for their own regions.
