worklnn an Insurance Game.

The town of Harvey is a touchy
point with a certain life insurance
agent in Fargo, and thereby hangs a
tale.
1t appears that the insurance agent,
whose name for the sake of the story
will be Jones, had some trouble with
two other life insurance agents, those
names are not Smith and Green, but
who win be thus known in the story.
Jones, it is claimed. worked some kind
of an underhand scheme on Smith and
Green, and they determined to get
revenge. The opportunity did not
offer for some time, but one day,
while Smith and Green were standing
in hallway discussing the business,
Smith noted, by accident, that Jones
was standing behind door apparent
" taking in the entire conversation.
Smith tipped" off the fact to Green
and then they framed up their plot.
Smith started Immediately to tell
Green about man at Harvey, A. l..
Steen, who was very anxious to take
out a life insurance policy for $780,
600.
1T win be a snap to write him, ;"
said Smith. Il know that he wants
the insurance, but my company will
not allow me to write more than $780,
GOO on a single risk. III tell you
what we will do We will go up to
Harvey tomorrow. l win write him
for $4,000 and You come along. and
write him fer the rest, $4,000.
TITS a go, replied Green. But /
cant 50 unit day after tomorrow"
All right, We'll so them. said
Smith.
The two insurance men then moved
away, confident that Jones had swaI-
lowed the bait.
That very afternoon Jones was seen
hurrying down to the depot. a spy
standing near the ticket window heard
him ask for a ticket to Harvey.
Jones came back several days after,
There was blood in his eye and there
is every time any one mentions the
town OF Harvey. Needless to say
there is no such person as A. L. Steen
in Harvey.-Fargo Forum.

4 JOKE THAT CAUGHT A THIEF.


In the lobby of the Waldorf-As-
toria the other night man whose
name is known to tens of thousands
of New Workers, says The Press, sur
prised a group Of prominent men by
telling them that a recent big defal-
cation in a Wall Street bank was dis
coveretd through his agency.
1T was through a joke l intended
having at the expense of my brother
in-law, who is vice-president of the
bank" he explained. Il do not sup
pose in all New York there is just
another such case.
MY cashier sent to the bank, as
usual, check covering the amount
of my weekly payroll. Being in a
hurry, he did not count the money
when his assistant brought it from
the bank. Nor did his assistant, as
it afterwards transpired, count the
bills when he received them from the
paying teller. IL was after banking
hours when my cashier counted over
the money and found the teller had
given him just SIS too much. Satur-
day is pay day in my Office, and l
left before the error was discovered.
On Monday the cashier told me about
the overpayment, and said he was
about to send it back TO the bank with
an explanatory letter.
Don't send 1t right away" l said
4 want to have some fun with my
M n 10 EJate. nj hra aruir, %
about the wonderful system by which
his bank is run and how impossible
for any mistakes to happen. I'll drop
In to see him this afternoon and josh
his bit, then send the money over"
81 carried out my part of the pro
gram all right. My brother-in-law
was the most chagrined man you you
ever saw. He declared such a thing
was impossible; that, according to the
system in use, the deficit would in
stantly be shown. Finally, seeing
I was not joking. he went out to the
teller's desk to do a little quiet inves-
tigaGng When he came back he was
unusually grave. Don't send that
money back just yet,' he said. There
seems to be something queer. The
tellers book shows no deficit. Wen
look into the matter a little more
closely tonight. Meanwhile, please
say nothing about it.
Mex. day all New York was talking
about the arrest o1 the bank clerk and
how a series of thefls, extending over
many years, had been unearthed.
The clerk had iuggled the books, so
that VIXEN he found he was SIS short
he CONCLUDED it was some one of the
doctored accounts in which he had
made a mistake: so he made his books
balance to suit the occasion. But for
that overpayment he might have kept
up his stealing all the rest Of his life
without detection. My brotherin-law
tells me there is new system of
checking now in use in the bank"

that he was a Korean of an unmistak-
ably infeI.o class was enough for
athletic little bully, and he picked him
up almost bodily and kicked him with
out explanation or apology into the
next car, where he damned him down
into a rough wooden seat, as if he had
been a straw man. The poor fellow
was frightened dumb, and did nothing
for the rest of the journey but follow
the porter with big. melancholy eyes.
Ny Indignation knew no bounds, and
when / afterward reeounted the ex-
perienee to my friends in Seoul they
laughed and said that the porter must
have been "awfully kind-hearted," be-
cause the usual thing was TO throw an
offending Korean out on the track, no
matter how far it happened to be from
a station, with an admonition to cool
his heels until the next train came By.

Kicks its Food Into Its Mouth.

This is an aye-aye," said the keeper
of the monkey house. Watch 1t
kick it's food into it's mouth
The ayeaye, a handsome lemer,
hurried to the plate of cut carrot that
the keeper had just pushed under
the bars. 1t stood before the food,
which it took up piece by peice in
it's fore paw, and tossed swiftly
through the air into its mouth. Like
a iuggler, it kept yellow chain Of
carrot flying through the air from its
foot to its muoth continuously.
The quick toss of the leg with which
this was done had, undeniably, the
look Of kick.
"Aye-ayes come from Madagascar,
the keeper said. They are nocturnal
in their habits and they live in holes.
The natives regard them with super
stitious reverence They are the only
creatures extart that kick their food
into their mouths. This specimen cost
