WHEN WOMAN SEES A JOKE
BY Cynthia Grey.

Men say that nine women out of
ten can't see the point TO a good joke
without having it explained.
Whether this is true or net, il is
certainly true that when a man finds
this tenth woman, he fingers by her
side.
Put a man in the company Of wom-

story. The woman that sees the point
first and laughs the quickest is the
woman toward whom the man uncon-
sciously directs the remainder of his
conversation.
Let man be chatting to a number
of girls. He gives a quaint little
allusion that when fifty applied has

more than social value. The woman
who sees the funny side of everyday
trials saves herself many wrinkles
and saves her family much suffer

The woman with a sense of humor
seldom worries herself or her friends
She is like a breath of fresh air, she
refreshes everyone she meets. She
is CHEEKY and a bit Of her cheeriness
remains in the hearts of those who
have been near her
The woman who sees the point of

always plump and fair TO look upon.
She seldom has the blues, because
she laughs in the midst of them and
spells the effect
This woman's husband doesn't wear

he is a dyspeptic.

NEW YORK. April lS.-How is it
that James Hazen Hyde. nominally
worth only ISL geo, can control cor
poration worth half a billion dollars +?
To answer that question we have
to go back to the origin of the
Equitable Life Assurance society. in
1859.
The origin of the great insurance
corporation. which now has issued
policies amounting to $500. 600. 900,
was in the fertile and active brain Of
q young man born in Catskill. n. Y,
in 1894, Henry b. Hyde. This Hyde's
father had been an agent for the
Mutual Life Insurance company and
he obtained a place of employment
for his son in that company. The
son was pushing and was sparkling
with ideas He made rapid way, and
at % years was cashier of the Mutual
Life company. Besides having ideas,
he was aggressive. He presumed to
Law his ideas before the president
of the Mutual Life company. That
gentleman gave them little shelter.
Thsreupon the young man determin-
ed to start a life insurance company
for himself.
Henry b. Hyde was superintend-
ent Of the Sunday school of the Fifth
avenue Presbyterian church, New
York. In HYde's time, Rev. James
w. Alexander was pastor of the
church. To him Hyde preached the
subject of the new insurance com

The United States spent last year
$4,000,000 on toys-mostly dolls from
Sonneberg, Germany, alone. Little
Sonneberg sent out s13.000.000 worth
of toys last year Great Britain used
to buy most of them, but John Bull
has been very hard up this past year,
and the United States has taken most
of England's share. The men who
make these toys earn by 10 hours
labor a day between 81 and so cents

average, 40 cents. The thousands of
boys and girls employed earn an av-

This is where Francis and Marin
met and was the beginning of the
unhGly alliance. One day Marin saw
a crowd around the office of a get

mob, demanding money. Marin made
a speech, organized the crowd into a

was deputed to represent the clients,
and thereupon held up the concern
