them, became engaged in a politi-
cal discussion; the first named, the
daughter of an ultra republican,
and a trustee of the school; the Sc
cond, an orphan largely connected
and with democratic sympathies;
Lula in this angry controversy
charged Adde'S father with having
declared that he would prefer a
negro to marry his daughter rath-
err than democrat. The teacher
discovered Addie shading tears
during school hours, and after they
had ceased to flow he began an in
vestigation to find out what had
happened; one could readily infer
from the expression on the faces
of the pupils that the trouble was
of an unusual character. Here
was a case demanding of the teach
er judgment. discretion, tact and
prompt decision as to what course
to pursue to prevent the trouble
from spreading. He had not only
the two principals to deal with,
but about twenty-five other pupils
and the patrons of the school; had
not this quarrel been adjusted
then and there the neighborhood
would have been filled with dissen-
sion, hearthburnings that might
have lasted for years; some pupils
would probably have been taken
from school and the school would
have suffered a stigma that would
have crippled its usefulness per-
haps for years. The teacher being
stranger, was in a position to act
impartially, and most wisely, did
he deal with the difficulty. He
gave the most friendly lecture to
the young ladies, reminding them
of the folly of engaging in heated
political harangues-that in conse-
quence of their age it was impossi-
BILE to have proper knowledge of
public questions to argue intelli-
gently therefore their discussions
would appear absurd; that the eff
fects of such misunderstanding
were to SOW dissension among
neighbors and produce GOODNESS of
feelings between those who were
on friendly terms; that they would
probably remain in that neighbor-
hood for many years, unless some
nice fellows came along and took
them away-this brought from the
pupils audible laughs and from the
two young ladies smiles, but if they
continued to reside here each would
want to shun the other and to keep
from church and society gather
ings, depriving themselves of plea
sure to which they would be emit
tied, and that they would be laugh
ed at and ridiculed by young men
and that Addie could not prevent
her father from saving unpopular
fathers often say and
do things for which their children
are not to blame; he said a great
more which l have forgotten, and
after he had put them in good
humor, he appealed to Lula to ask
pardon of Addie for hurting her
feelings; the latter accepted the
but the most difficult
question to deal with was yet un-
touched-how to keep what had
happened from the ears of the pa
irons, but this seemingly impossi-
BILE task was successfully accom-
plished in way that did not ap-
pear to me to promise success;

name to give him a promise not to

Mutual Employs Literary Bureau.
In Mr.. McCurdy's testimony a feat.
ure entirely new was disclosed, and
this was that the Mutual Life In
surance company employed a literary
bureau to send out to the press OF the
country news matter that was of ben
eft to the company. This information
was ELECTED during the probing OF
the legal expenses" account. 1t came
out when a voucher for the payment
of $4,000 to Joseph Howard, Jr., In
1904, was produced. Another voucher
for the same amount paid in May,
1905, was marked "Rcpayable on de-
mand" and FOR professional Services
Mr.. McCurdy had vised the vouchers
and explained hat Mr.. Howard was n
newspaper correspondent and that his
professional services consisted in
syndicating news stories. Pressed
further, Mr.. McCurdy said: "Mr.
Howard was a correspondent for the
Boston Globe and several other pa.
pers.' Mr., McCurdy further said that
he paid Mr.. Howard about $4,000 a
year for these services and that the
voucher for May, 1905, was really a
loan or an advance"
McCurdy Dodees Questions.
An attempt was made to obtain
from Mr.. McCurdy the reason for re-
ducing the dividends on policies as

prompted by the large number of let.
ters received from policy holders by
the committee and cited facts and
examples. One in particular for 49,

of another witness was all that pre-

Calls II ION the Rack"
Mr.. McCurdy, also during the ef.
fort TO induce him to answer the ques.
tions as to the reduction of dividends,
launched forth into a protest as to
the name in which the investigation
was being conducted. He said the
committee was going beyond the scope
intended when IL was appointed by
the legislature and that the investiga-
ton had assumed the proportions Of
an inquisition. He was asked by
Senator Armstrong how he would
conduct the investigation and told
that If he had better methods the com.
mlttee would be glad to know of it.
Mr.. McCurdy thought that putting a
witness under oath made him feel he
was on the rack. He said his answers
were published in a distorted form,
that appeared like al attempt to ruin
him.
