dent of the New York Life Insurance
Company, and Charles s. Fairchifd, a
member of the finance committee and

Prussian loan
This transaction was the result of
demand by the Prussian govern
ment that permission to continue to
do business there would be granted
only on condition that the company
hold no corporation stocks as ooliate-
raj, and only bonds. To conform to
this the company transferred to a
subsidiary trust company fifteen
thousand three hundred shares OF
stock Of two railroads, which was dis
covered during the Armstrong inves-
tigation as having not been actually
sold until a year afterwards, and
which sale netted the company
profit of one hundred and fifty-five
thousand dollars
1t is not alleged that either defen-
dant made personal profit and the
jury Is on record that District At
torney Jerome pressed it for an in
dictment.

strongly to this desire in our
hearts. Let us follow this i'm
pulse and plant something. Even
with very small yard we may
by planting a few flowers add
greatly to the appearances of our
houses. If you feel that you
cannot afford to sp end money to
secure plants there are neighbors
who would gladlMdivide with you.
Many of the choicest plants have
to be taken up and separated dur
ing the year. A neighbor often
throws away many choice plants
by reason of this fact. Let all
such people look about for an cp-
portunity to divide this over
product with some one less we'll
supplied. The cultivation of flow

dull monotony in the life of the

of peacefulness and sweetness to
the surroundings that more than
compensates for the labor ex-
