WHY SOLDIERS DESERT.
An InvestiEatiOn that Failed to Find
n Reason.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
The ordinary American soldier possesses
more than sufficient intelligence to give
something better than an excuse for the
conditions by which he is surrounded, bus
when General Chaffee attempted, by per-
sonally questioning privates in the army.
to discover why so many men deserted
from the ranks he was unable to obtain
the desired information. 1t is true he re-
ceived answers from every man ques-
toned. but the answers were of such ma
ture as to prompt the belief that II the
men could give a reason they had no desire
to tell 1t.
It is recorded that the general was in
formed that some men deserted because
they did not like the surroundings of the
post at which they were stationed, while
others were sure it was because there was
no fishing in that immediate territory. At
no time was complaint made against the
fact of service or that the government did

Evil of Overinsurance.
American Medicine.

american MediClne.
One life insurance evil is the unscrupu-
lous agent who skiltully evokes the emo
tions of the father of a family to the end
that larger policy is written than can be
sustained. In the standard companies
lapsed policies are a distinct loss, for
their calculations are based upon con-
tinuance of each one, yet II is claimed that
as rule they are a source of great reve-
nue.. When It is remembered that very
large percentage of policies are allowed to
lapse-some say % per cent or more-it lie
evident that it Is a great evil. In view of
the tender nature of the emotions played
upon, the natural anxiety for the family's
future, 1t Is a gruesome business, to say
the least. No safe company will insure
anyone for a larger amount than can be
kept up by the insureds known income
but there is no way of checking the evil
in the case of the poor, who take out
small policies Cannot the examining ply
sician do his share toward correcting the
matter in cases where he is certain that
there has been undue influence on impress
sionable people? 1t surely is a duty he
owes to the man. and the company, and to
society also. Is .s..' .-..,.-.

1.-THE United States senate is regaining its
youth" writes the correspondent of the
New York Evening Post. when the long
session adjourned little more than a year
ago the number of frail men in that cham
ber who wake about with uncertain step
was subject of comment by many observ-
ers. Statistics then showed that sixteen of
it's ninety members had passed the allotted
three score years and ten Seven of these
have in a single twelve month ceased to be
members of that body, four by death and
three by retirement, and of these three one
has already died. It is doubtful IL 30 great
a thinning out of the aged men ever before
occurred In the senate. Those who died
have been Quay OF Pennsylvania, Hoar of
sachusetts, Bate of Tennessee and Platt
OF Connecticut. Those who retired on
March 4. who had passed the age of 20, were
Hawley OF Connecticut Gibson of Mon
tana and Stewart of Nevada. No new man
has become 10 in the year nor has any
T0-year- old man been elected to the senate.
The nine members who possessed this dis
tinction now are Morgan and Pettus OF
Alabama. Platt and Depew of New York,
Frye of Maine. Proctor of Vermont, Cullom
OF Illinois, Allison of Iowa and Teller of
Colorado.
For some reason seventy seems an appro-
pirate dividing line in civil positions. II is
the age at which A supreme court justice,
providing he has had ten years of service,
may retire with full pay. This is six years
beyond the age of retirement in the army
and eight years beyond that of the navy.
And yet the senate would lose much OF its
best material were IL to have a compulsory
retirement at 10"
