Distrnss, 4 skepticianl.


Frederick Bonner, one of the dfrec.
tors of New York'S new Society OF
Art Collectors, talked at recent din
ner party about skepticism. 1t was q
holiday dinner party. The table dec
orations were Christmas green's and
holly berries. and among the sweets
there was a fine plum pudding.

There is no end of alarmist talk about

Talk about trusts, the news
paperman is terribly beset by trusts.
The machinery he uses is from a
a trust, the type, ditto. The paper
is from a great trust that has raised
the price so per cent in the past five
years. He buys his ink from a
trust and he has to trust bis sub
scrlbers in some cases for from one
to five years before he sees the
color of the coin on which is en-
emblazoned. in God we trust, and
then he doesn't always see it.
Verify, trusts before him, trusts to
the right of him, trusts to the left
OF him, are after his hide. Selah.
Mrs. Sam Joeckel took depart
ure ten days ago for visit with
relatives at Rockford and Chicago.
One day last week their infant
daughter was taken seriously ill and
Mrs. Joeckel was dispatched for at
Chicago. She received the message
and took the first train homeward
bound. 1t happened to be one of
the trains however that became
snowbound and Mrs. Joeckel only
reached Montfort, where she was
obliged to remain since Satur-
day. The sick child is convalescent
and the anxious mother, in COM
munication by telephone with the
home circle, is partially relieved
from the strain of suspense. Later:
Mrs. Joeckel arrived on the train
last evening.
Senator Smith Of Kansas, is
going to introduce a bill providing
for limited marriages. He says a
law limiting some marriages to ten
years would be good thing. I'm
doubtedly he is right and would be
right if he said ten minutes instead
of ten years. But how is he going
to fix the law, When a man asks
the girl does he have to tell her it
is for ten years or for life? Does
the girl have the right to say: This
life proposal of yours is sudden, but
l am willing to chance you on a ten
year basis with annual dividends
and fair division of the profits at
the end of the period?" How will a
Kansas fellow feel when he goes to
the clerks office and the whiskered
deputy asks: What shall 1t be,
life or limited?" And think of the
preacher standing up in an awful
choker and saying: For better,
or worse, richer or poorer, until
noon Feb. 2, 1915" Guess Smith
wont do.

now falling over themselves in
their ''frenzied" efforts to pick up
some of the bargains. The move
ment will no doubt result in great
good, as many new customers will
be won away from outside concerns
as soon as they can be made to see
the advantage of trading at home.
The suggestion that the gentle
men try their skill IN entertaining
at the Twentieth Century supper,
to be held in the social room of the
congregational church February
%, seems to be popular one. The
hearty manner in which the women
have received the idea has aroused
the suspicious Of the men. Whether
the ladies think it would be pro-
fitable for the gentlemen to begin
to make some preparation for their
new sphere" or because they fore
see inevitable defeat in such an
undertakings repetition of the
bull in the china shop" scene, we
do not pretend to guess. Those
who predict defeat, however, swill
be doomed to disappointment. And
those who expect that the gentle
men will contribute, consciously OF
unconsciously, to the ''gayety of
nations" no doubt, will have their
expectations more than gratifed.

GETTING TRUE VALUE.
TMason CITY Times-Heraldl


An interesting fact in connection
with the recent arrest of fugitive
from justice is the statement that the
man had embezzlel $4,000, and the
county in which the crime was COM
mitted expended $4,000 in apprehend-
ing him.
The tone of the dispatch contain
ing this bit of Information is sucn IS
to lead the reader to feel that a sug-
gestiol, is being made Of the f1t'lity
of expending so great a sum in order
to punish comparatively insignificant
wrong.
But few persons will be inclined to
to accept that view of the matter.
No truer exemplifcation of the real
majesty of law could be given than
this one occurrence It proves on
the very face of it, that the lesson of
obedience to legal statutes Is held to
be Of higher Importance than the se-
c.ring of restitu+ on for a tresEass Of
isls.:'.
It cannot be doul ted that in the
community where this object lessen
has been offered a more wlneSame
respect for law will follow in the fr-
t,,re than has ever been know in the

Tutuila, Samoa, Dec. 5.-President
Roosevelt has acknowledged. thru the
secretary of state, letter forwarded
thru the governor Of Tutuila from TUT
manua, who was king of Manua divis

flag was hcisted in Tuitula. Tuimanua
expressed his high appreciation Of the
administration and justice of the Unit

claled the people were happier and
more prosperous under American rule
thar formerly.
There is every evidence Of contest
amongst the samoans, and this was
publicly expressed at colonial meet
ing held in October last, when it was
announced the people desired to be
under the navy department rather than
have civil government just now.

BOUGHT OFF THE SUIT
Vice President Of the Mutual Reserve
Says Company Paid Mcdonald Of
Philadelphia $4,000 to Avoid Suit to
Gust Frederick A. Burnham as Pres
ident Of the Company.

New York, Dec 5.-George D. Ed
redge, vice president of the Mutual Re
serve Life, testified before the insur-
ance investigation commission today
that the Mutual Reserve paid $4,000
to Mr.. Mcdonald, of Philadelphia, in
1899, to avoid a suit by policyholders
to oust Frederick A. Burnham from the
presidency of the Mutual Reserve.
Vice President Eldredge said Fulton
B. Morse was general manager Of the
agency department of the Mutual Re-
serve in 1897. During that year he
received total commissions of $780,
900 and advances of $236,50O. Eldridge
said the company had vouchers for all
Morse's advances to agents. Eldredge
said ]. S. Hoffecker, auditor OF the
Mutual Reserve. resigned from the
company in 1898, after having refused
to make audit Baltimore agents ac-
count, as witness had ordered him to-
make it, Hughes read letter from
Hoffecker to President Burnham in
which Hoffecker wrote he could not
audit as requested, that "Our ideas
OF common honesty differ so r.1ch'
and that he knew of so many ques-
tionable transactions approved by
Burnham that he could no longer stay
with the company. Hughes asked If
Hoffecker was then dismissed. Ed
redge said Hoffecker was dismissed af-
ter he demanded an increase in sal
ary from $35 to 500 week and prac-
tically said he knew so much 1t would
be safer for the company to keep him.
Eldredge said brother or cousin of
Hoffecker in Delaware organized the
policyholders and that Zone McDon-
aid" in Philadelphia and Hoffecker in
New York were active in the move
ment of the poNcyholders which
threatened a move against the man
agement of the Mutual Reserve and to
secure appointment of a receiver for
the company. ''It was in the nature Of
extortion, said Eldredge, but we had
to consider expense and interest Of
policyholders. We chose the lesser of
two evils" Eldredge said the charges
especially were directed against Burn
ham on account Of large advances to
Morse. Eldredge said the Mutual Re-
serve paid $4,000 to Mcdonald to set
tie the agitation.
