FORGOT His Title.

Lord Baltimore was formerly plain
David Plunkett. Shortly after he was
raised to the peerage he took trip
to the Riviera. The French railway
company reserved a carriage for his
private use. At some unknown hour
of the night the door of the carriage
was suddenly opened. A lantern was
flashed upon him and voice sharply
cried: "Votre nom?" ("Your name?')
Lord Baltimore, wakened out of his
sleep, looking up in a partly dazed
condition, discovered a railway official
on his way round for tickets. Lord
Rathmore's name was on the paper
affixed to the window, marking the
compartment as reserved. The off.
cial desired to identify the occupant
of the carriage with the person to
whose use it was inscribed. "Votre
nom?" he sternly repeated, seeing the
passenger hesitate. There sprang to
Lord Rathmore's lips the familiar
David Plunkett." Happily he remem.
bered in time he was no longer David
Plunkett, but for the life of him he
could not remember what title in the
peerage he had selected. 1t seemed
half an hour to him before he could
remember Baltimore"

MILLIONS OF LIFE CLAIMS.
Big Business Done by Insurance Com
panies in 1904.


According to the special returns
made by life-insurance companies
there was paid in the entire United
States and Canada last year $277,757,-
$50 in claims, says the Insurance
Press. The amount paid in various
parts of the union varied from a max
imum of nearly $59,000,000 in New
York to a minimum of $4,000 in
Alaska. Pennsylvania was the second
state, with something over $18,500,-
900. Other states where more than
$10,000,000 was paid in life-insurance
claims were, in order of amount, Illi-
nois, Ohio and New Jersey. AS New
York and Pennsylvania have the
greatest population 1t was but natural
that they should lead in the amount
of insurance paid, though Pennsyl-
vania's lead in insurance claims paid
is not proportionate to her greater
population. Massachusetts, which is
seventh, measured by population,
ranks far ahead of Illinois, Ohio, Mis-
souri, and Texas, all of which by the
last census were credited with more
inhabitants. These figures which we
have given were for claim payments
and do not include dividends, cash
surrender values, claims paid in for
eign countries or annuities, which
combined give estimated figures OF
almost S100.000,000. BY cities the
amount paid on insurance claims
places New York far in the lead, with
Chicago second, although the margin
of that city over Philadelphia is small.
Boston stands fourth, with lead OF
more than $2,O00,00O over the fifth
city, st. Louis, which outranks us in
population.
