Sing a Song Of sixpence.

Did you ever hear the meaning of the
old "Song of Sixpencei" Rev. John
Howard, a clergyman Of Liverpool,
England, gives it thus: The four-and-
twenty blackbirds represent the four
and.twenty hours. The bottom of the
pie is the world, while the top cover il
the sky which over-reached it. The
opening Of the pie is the day-dawn,
when the birds begin to sing, and sure
ly the sight is ft for king. The king
who is represented as sitting in the
parlour counting his money, is the sun,
while the gold pieces which slip
through his fingers as he counts them
are the golden sunshine. The queen,
who sits in the dark kitchen (pantry)
is the moon, and the honey with which
she regales herself is the moonlight
The industrious maid who is in the gar
den at work before the sun has risen
is the day-dawn and the clothes she
hangs out are the clouds, while the
birds who so tragically ends the song
by chipping Off her nose" is the hour
of sunset.

Old Time Dentistry.

A story was recently told of the ell.
der Judge Peckham, father of the Jus

hickory plug was put into tho cavity
to fiji the space where a tooth ought
20 be- This plug had TO be gently
pounded into its desired position. The
old judge was somewhat addicted TO
strong language, and when the dentist
began his work the Judge INDUCED in
some classic comment. As the tapping
Of the plug continued, he threw all
dignity 20 the four winds of heaven,
and his language became decidedly
moro foreible than elegant, When
however, he arose from the chair, after
what seemed to him an interminable
period of agony, he pulled out all the
stops in his vocabulary for grand
climax. The impression ON his listener
seems TO have been deep and lasting,
As the judge passed out, the dentist
grimly remarked 10 a waiting patient;

SCHLENE]R LOSES SUIT
COURT HOLDS THAT INSURANCE
COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR UNAUTHORIZED ACTS OF
AGENTS. ~ sd :-

Judge Waite of the municipal court
has handed down a decision giving a
victory to the Interstate Life Assur-
ance company in an action brought
against them by J. A. Schlener & Co.
of this city to recover for supplies sold
to H. @. Morgan, the company's agent.
It will be recalled that some time ago
Morgan left the city suddenly, owing
considerable money 80 r. ~ ~.
Morgan has left for parts unknown.
Hill & Garwood assumed charge of the
company's affairs after Morgan's de-
parture. E. c. Garwood, speaking of
the affairs, said "We had no hest
fancy in taking the agency Of the com
pany. Our attorney Informed us that
these obligations incurred by Morgan
were not liabilities Of the company,
and such being the case it would have
been an injustice to the policyholders
to have paid out money that the COM
pany did not legally owe.''
Clinton NJ. Odell, attorney for the
insurance company, declined to make
any statement further than to say that
no case had been found which held that
an insurance company was liable for
debts contracted by it's agents under
similar conditions. The Schlener case
was one of several suits brought to
recover amounts lost thru Morgan IS
work. It was in the nature Of test
case and will probably put an end to
the efforts to recover from the company
which did not authorize the acts by
which the agent contracted the indebt-
edness, IT 'a

WENT TO HEAR THE

of John A. Rawlins post, G.. A. R.,
last night, tho he didn't know it. It
happens that Comrade Franklin is
Familiarity known among certain Of his
associates as the defender Of John
D. Rockefeller When "the gang"
lunches at noon it is the delight Of sew
eral members Of the party to cast some
slur, directly or by inuendo, at the oil
king. This never fails to bring a
"rise'' from the "defender. -
Hot weather is conducive to a light
attendance, and for the sake of draw
ing out a full attendance last night the
commander put up a job on the post.
The invitation cards announced that
the "Defender of John D. Rockefeller
would speak, the inference being that
he would enter defense of his man.
This was an impetus for others, and
the staid and sober membership Of the
post unlimbered its guns and prepared
TO attend and speak their mind about
the oil man. From all directions mem
bers appeared, some Of whom had not
attended a meeting for months.
The "DefenderO did read a paper
but it contained no mention Of John G.
It was simply a clever account Of a
recent western trip, but it was heard by
at least a score of veterans who would
| have been conspicuously absent had nc
allusion been made to the oil king.

BOXED THERMOMETERS
II. REGISTER TOO HIGH

In view of the fact that there is a
wide discrepancy between tempera-
lures recorded by street thermometers,
representative Of the weather bureau,
at the request Of The Journal
made a careful checking up Of ten
thermometers, that are commonly re-
ferred to. A thermometer was car
ried which is especially made to take
the temperature Of the free air. The
thermometers were found placed in va
rious exposures. Those hung in the
free air tailed very closely with the
government thermometer, but Chose
inclosed in boxes showed wide varia-
lions.
When the investigation was com
pleted the record Of the thermometer
carried was compared with the official
record Of the thermometer on top Of
the federal building and was found to
be practically the same.
Thermometers inclosed in boxes
varied from seven to ten degrees from
the record of the official thermometer.
One varying 81 degrees was hung in
the sun, and Immediately under it was
a recording thermometer, also in the
sun, which showed variation of Is de-
grees. Some were hung on iron posts
and they registered less than the of.
fetal record. Six thermometers were
hung in the free air in favorable ex-
posures and were practically the same
as the official record.

that he was. behind the bar, and he

Painters Union Eager to See Capitol
Commission Investigated.

Resolutions indorsing Governor John
son g stand in ordering an investiga-
ton and auditing Of the affairs Of the
capitol commission were passed by the
local painters union last night. A
year and half ago the painters union
sought an injunction restraining the
capitol commission from granting the
work Of decorating and finishing the
capitol building to Elmer Guernsey Of
New York on the ground that state
work should not be let outside the
state. They have an old grievance, as
their petition was not allowed, and are
seeking "get back" at the commits
sion by backing the governor in his
stand.
A. g. cambridge offered a resolution
to put the painters on record for or
against the proposed reorganization Of
the building trades council, but the
members decided to postpone action
until next week.
