The extra legs, well developed,
were directly behind the normal

so that by looking at the legs it
could not be told whether the bird
was coming or going. The extra
wing was behind one of the reg
ular wings, but was smaller. On
the other side was a tiny rud-
imentary wing.

Under the Insurance rules and
regulations in force in this city
every policy has to be approved
by the Stamping Secretary, so it's
impossible to get policy unless
all the rules and rates are follow
ed out. In other words, every In
surance company charges the
same rates. 1t is then simply a
question of which is the best COM
pany, as all charge the same
rates. The above companies are
old established insurance compan.
les, pay your losses promptly and
without any quibbling. Select
your company, and in choosing
any of the above named com.
panies you can make no mistake.
We can insure you in any OF the
companies above named. We do
not advertise big companies in
our agency and then write
your policy in a small, unknown
company. If you want insurance
in the big Hartford you can get it
from us. If you burn down or
are damaged by fire you can have
your insurance for the asking.

Botha's Remarkable Escape.
Among the interesting stories told by
Lord Roberts is the following: Com
mandant Ben Botha told me when il
London few months ago that on one
occasion during the war he did not
retreat with the rest Of the Beers. but
slept the night of May % in Germsi'
ton. within a few hundred yards OF
where | was sleeping, and that he was
only able to escape the next morning
by joining one of our mounted patrols
and passing himself off as colonist
In our employ. That is difficulty we
always had. The Beers could come
and 60 in our camp without our know.
Ing who they were, as we had many
people Of the country in our employ.
Botha actually joined one Of our pa
trolls and rode with him to the top Of
the hill. when he galloped off and join
ed his own people again"

price remains about stationary. Fancy

their profits are always affected by the
fluctuations of the exchange and other To-

markets may make q difference of 80 per

cents; the lowest was In August, when
September delivery sold at $40 cents a

was reached in January, when June de-

In March. when March delivery sold at
5.95 cents pound. Thus you have both
the actual sales and the option values.
Although No. Rio is the grade on which
option dealings are based, the seller is al
lowed to deliver lower or higher grades at
the difference in price fixed by the Coffee
Exchange; and of course he will always
deliver that grade which gives him the
best results-that Is to say. the quality of
coffee which is in least demand at that
particular moment for actual consuming
purposes: and therefore, selling on the
street at a smaller difference from No. Z
Rio than is allowed by the exchange if of
better quality than No Z. or at greater
difference If Of a poorer quality.

Russia consumes more whisky and other
