lions in this state, State Manager j

Thursday produced correspondence
showing that a supreme court official
asked that the life agents commits

Icy be paid to him. The letters were
written by Chief Justice Roujet D
Marshall. Justice Marshall late Friday
afternoon vouched for the authentic
ity of the correspondence. The JUS
tice, however, said he thought there
was nothing irregular in any Of the
letters
The original correspondence was
produced by Mr.. Albright late Friday.
The letter soliciting the commission
for collection is as follows:
State of Wisconsin, Supreme court,
Madison, Wis, Oct. l, 1902.
Union Central Life Insurance COM
pany, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Gentlemen: hold policy No. 232,-
900 in your company, ON which there
falls due the 18th day Of this month,
the annual premium Of $671.4O. | am
not at present advised as to whether
I shall be obliged to remit to the
principal office. Not knowing that
you have any agent in this city, and
supposing that If you have such agent
he has no claims upon you for a per-
centage for the collection Of my pre-
MUM, suggest that you send my re-
ceipt to the First National bank OF
Madison, Wis, with draft attached
for the $671.4O and instructions to
deliver the receipt upon payment OF
the draft on or before the due date OF
the premium, and that in such case
you permit the bank to take the usual
agents commission for the collection,
with permission to pay the same to
me. My policy came from an agent
entirely outside of my circle of bust
ness acquaintances. l see no reason,
myself, why can not be permitted to
make the payment in the manner
suggested, but If there are any reasons,
of course you will write me suggesting
where to send the money.
Very truly yours,
r. d. Marshall"
The above letter from Justice Mar
shall was referred by the home office
of the insurance company to State
Manager Albright of Wisconsin, who
In turn wrote to his superior Office as
follows:
Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 6, 1902.-E,
P. Marshall, secretary Union Central
Life Insurance company, Cincinnati,
Ohio.
Dear sir:--I am today in receipt
Of yours of the Srd, inclosing a let
ter from a Judge Of the supreme court
Of Wisconsin, Hon. r. D. Marshall,
asking that you grant him a rebate
upon his renewal premium. When
Judge of the supreme court of this
state makes an appeal for rebate and
does it direct to the home office, is it
not time that there be some elevation
in the moral conscience Of the people
in high places before we can hope
for much change for the better among
the rank and file on the rebate ques-
ton?
"This gives you an idea Of some of
the difficulties we are obliged to con-
ten with in this state.
Respectfully yours,
]. G. Albright,
State manager"

Fine Totem Poles.

Five fine totem poles, some of the
best in Alaska, have been placed by
Governor Brady at the end of the ia
nous Russian walk in Sitka This
walk extends along the side of the
Leach between tall pine and fir trees.
The ground underneath is so covered
with ferns and bracken that it sug-
gests tropical forest. At the end of
the walk is cleared ground, once
the council ground of the Indians. 1t
is here these totem poles were placed.
The center and tallest is 80 feet high.
All these totem poles are wonderfully
carved, and are painted in dull reds,
blues and black. They represent fam
lily history, and the chief of family
is always proud fhis totem. 1t is
almost impossible to buy one. When
one is sold it brings $500 or $4,000.
The Indians claim they cost this, for
every time a carving is added they
give a feast or potlatch, at which
everything is given away-Buffalo

A letter from friend travelling
abroad compares the American woman
with the English and says: An
American woman 10 not afraid by ex-
IRENE graciousness of manner to COM
promise herself into intimacy; it is
simply manner, and is simply calcu-
lated to make another human being
at ease and comfortable for the
moment. You will see utter strang-
ers in America talking amiably and
agreeably to each other who are
never to meet again-only "ships that
pass in the night" In England if
one human being is too amiable and
too agreeable everyone suspects him
of some Interior motive.
She then speaks of the English
servant: When l first came to this
country to live was always gracious
to my servants until suspected they
thought was trying to get into So
ciety through them. An American SER
want is impudent to your face; an
English servant is impudent behind
your back and takes it out of you in
some other way. 1t is a choice of
evils. Which is best?

USE OF SLATE.

Tablet ut Very Early Period.

introduced Into Schools US Writing
Tablet ut Very Early Period.
1t is not easy to tell exactly for how
long period states have been used by
school boys; but they were used as
writing tablets as far back as the Mid
die Ages, and probably therefore, they
were introduced into the schools of
Europe at a very early period in the
history of education in this part of
the world.
And, indeed, says the London Daily
Globe, 1t would be hard to find a more
suitable substance for the purpose
than the easily faxed stone which
yields a smooth surface with a min
imum of trouble on the part of the
workman. The ancients, as we know,
frequently enjoyed waxen tablets for
the purpose of writing letters or max
ing calculations which were not in
tended to be permanent, and could
easily be erased or smeared out of all
recognition with the finger. Diligent
Eousekeepers and clandestine lovers
found these means of reckoning or
communication equally indispensable;
while for the man of letters, whether
orator or lyric poet, the tablets on
which were jotted down the beads of
a great speech or passionate stanza,
to some fair lady were almost as nee
essary as pockets for which the an
Gent world knew nothing, to the mod
ern man or boy.
Carpared with these perishable aids
to memory the slate was very long
lived. For though the name implies
brittle substance easily broken off
when the line of cleavage is discov-
cred-being equivalent to the French
"elact"-yet a slate does not collapse
like wax with the application of mod
crate heat, and even if crakced by
fall might still be used if its frame
was stout enough to stand the shock.
II is not surprising therefore, that the
slate when once introduced into school
end domestic life soon became popu-
lar.
But slate is also good roof cover
ing and has been used for this purpose
for eight centuries at least. Thing,
extent partly on account of the anar-
tistic appearances of the slated roof,
was practically universal in the towns
OF the ancient world which came I'M
der the influence of Greece and Rome.
1t is interesting to note in this con-
lection that as time went on build
ers reduced the thickness of their
states.
Whether this was due to reasons
of economy-for heavy states need to
have solid timbers beheath them-or
to other considerations the fact re-
mains that the states used in the
cheap house and the present day have
a very cheap appearance. The differ
ence is easily seen by contrasting the
flamsy look of Jerry-built suburban
villa with the massive solidity of an
old state rooted far mhouse which
has weathered the storms in centu-
ries.

Little Willie is the apple OF his
fathers eye, and he deserves to be.
A while ago rough-looking individual
came to the house where little Willie
lives, and grasped him by the collar.

Trying to Stop il.

THAT face would stop a clock" said
a west Philadelphia father, glancing
from a window at an unbecoming Pc
destrian.
why, papa?" asked the little curly
headed three-year-old on his knee,
roaming his neck to catch a glimpse.
Because it is so ugly, boy" answer
ed the father, absentmindedly.
1t was that evening that the father
came downstairs after dressing for
dinner to find his boy standing at
tlptoe on a hall chair, staring up at
the big, round face of the grandfather
clock and giving the most hideous
twists to his pretty baby face.
What in the world are you doing,
toy?", asked the surprised father.
Trying to stop the clock, papa?"
was the surprising answer.-Philadel-

We, the undersigned North Dakota
delegates to the Drainage conference
held in the city Of Grand Forks ON
February 9th and 2Sth, hereby resolve
that our state engineer be requested to
gather copies of the Drainage Laws
from the Province of Manitoba and the
different states having the same, and
together with some competent attor-
ney draft such a drainage law, as in
their judgment, will be constitutional
and meet all the requirements of our
state, such law to be presented to a
Drainage convention contemplated to
be held prior to the converting of the
next legislative assembly of this state
for the purpose of discussion and re-
vision, and that the President of the
North Dakota Drainage league be re-
quested to bring to bear on the county
commissioners of Pembina and Rich
land counties all argument possible to
show to them the necessity of topo-
graphical survey of their respective
counties in order to cooperate with
the balance of the counties in the Red
River valley and assist in bringing
about such a drainage system as we
believe will be greatly beneficial to the
entire valley. and also to show the
necessity of prompt action in order 20
assist in receiving government aid and
securing the continuance Of the serv-
ices of the Government Engineer who
has been prosecuting the work in the
Red River valley for the past season.
