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 a 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
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 clubbing. 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.

OpaIs of Various Degrees.

There are several varieties of opals
and therefore several degrees Of merit.
The precious or noble or oriental opal
is the supreme. This has all the col
ors, and when these colors are broken
into spangles it is then called the
harlequin opal. Then comes the fire
opal, or girasole, with hyacinth red
and yellow reflection. The former
comes from Hungary and the latter
from Mexico. The common, or semi
opals, are nonopalescent. The hydro
phane, or oculus mundi. Is nontrans'
parent, but becomes so by immersion
in water or any transparent fluid. The
cachalong is nearly Opaque and OF a
blush white color. The hyalite Is
colorless, pellucid and white. The opal
Jasper, or wood opal, is the petrifaction
Of wood, opalescent, but without tho
coloring which makes the mobile" gem
% precious.

was the case. Most parents in Grand

their child in similar position, and
had it been a fact that train was
approaching, would have had some
rather uncomfortable sensations. 1t
Is fact that other than a slight
spraining Of the little girls ankle,
she was not injured, nor in danger.
1t required only the approach of a
train in this case, however, to have
caused her injury, possibly her death,
even though the Waterman exercised
his usual good care to warn her OF the
danger. The little girl was student
of the Grand Rapids schools on the
west side. and has to cross the tracks
of this railroad company every day.
