The extraordinary prosperity enjoy

by its twentieth annual statement
just issued, is attributable to two i'm
portant factors. In the first place, un-
derwriting operations in its particu-
Lar field Of activity have been unusu-
ally profitable. In the second, the new
management has injected enterprising
energy in the company's affairs which
has enabled it to take advantage Of
the splendid opportunities offered in
Mississippi and other southern states
to the intelligently managed fire in
surance company during 1905. On
January l, the Mississippi Home held
assets Of $233,202. The net premium

the total income $15S.9S9. Losses
incurred amounted to $66,651, while

EAsED MISS s0pHR0NIA's MIND

The Misses Malcolm were known to
the little world of which Greenby was
the center as "the two Malcolm girls"
in spite Of their gray hairs and sixty
odd years. They were also known as
the best housekeepers in all the re-
gion, and any lapse from the exquisite
neatness of their domain seeming to
the Misses Malcolm a terrible thing
When cousin Palmer Malcolm, a
reckless western relative, died, the
Malcolm girls started for the Missouri
town on four hours notice, although
they had entertained thirty-two "Har-
vest Cleaners" the night before, too.
To Miss Sophronia, the elder, was
allotted by mutual consent the task Of
putting the lower rooms in order, so
far as possible, while Miss Eudora at
tended to- their bedrooms and their
simple packing.
When they were at last seated in
the train, after two miles jolting
ride in the old coach, Miss Eudora
noticed that Miss Sophronia's> face
wore troubled and anxious look. AS
cousin Palmer Malcolm had been a
great trial to the family, Miss Eudora
felt that his death could not be the
cause Of her sisters worry, and after
a few moments Of silence she decided

SLAVERY IN OLD ILLINOIS

Some Of the early laws for the regu-
alton Of slavery in what is now ILL
nois were curious and interesting. In
Prof N. Dwight Harris book on the
subject the author says that in 1903 it
was found necessary to provide some
legal status for the numerous linden
tured negroes. Under the provisions
Of this code all male negroes under
Is years Of age, either owned or ac-
CURED, must serve till the age of 35;
women till 80. Children born to per-
sons of color during the period of
service could also be bound out-the
boys for thirty years and the girls for
twenty-eight. All slaves brought into
the territory were obliged to serve the
full term of their contracts
Slaves were easily imposed upon.
Most of the settlers owned slaves
and were anxious to get as much SER
vice out of them as possible. They
registered them for periods of servi-
tude far in excess of the legal limit,
many being booked to serve from
,orty to sixty and even ninety-nine
years. Ninian Edwards, the first gov
srnor of the territory, registered his
slaves as follows: Rose, % years of
age, for thirty-fve years; Antony, 40
years old, for fifteen years; Maria. Is,

Tor forty-five years; Jesse, %. for
thirty-five years. The ignorant ne
groes were deceived into believing
that it was right to bind themselves
for such long periods.
Even at this early day KIDNAPPING
had begun. Negroes whose terms of
service were about to expire were
seized and carried off to the south
and sold into servitude more wretched
than before. The hiring of negroes to
work in salt mines, legalized by stat
ute in 1914, served as pretext for
holding slaves in other parts of the
state. To roll a barrel of salt once
year or to put salt into salt cellar
was sufficient excuse says Gov. Flow
err, for any man to hire slave and
to raise field of corn"
Wholesome food, sufficient clothing
and lodgings were to be provided for
each slave. The outfit for servant
was enumerated as follows: IA coat,
waistcoat, pair Of breeches, one pair
Of shoes, two pairs of stockings,
hat and blanket" No provision was
made for a future increase and there
was no penalty for failure to provide
the original outfit. Lazy or indiffer-
ent servants might, on an order from
the justice of the county be punished
by whipping.

"Eudora," and her tone was one Of

Did the ancient highly civilized ma
tons Of the past die out because they
were blonde and therefore untitled for
the regions In which they fourished?
DR.. Charles e. Woodruff, surgeon in
the United States army, who has writ
ten book on the subject, believes
that this was the case. He maintains
that too much light Is injurious to
white races through its actinic or
chemical effects, from which the dark
skin pigments Of swarthy races pro-
tect them. Thus he explains why, by
survival OF the fttest, dark races are
found in tropical lands, why Euro
peans have always failed to colonize
the tropics and why blondes disappear
when they migrate southwark. Says
q reviewer in the Edinburgh Medical
Journal: "The blonde and intelligent
rulers OF regions suited better for
more swarthy inhabitants have regu-
larly in the course Of ages died out,
while their subjects, thoroughly ac-
climatized to their domicile, remain.
Egypt has been the theater Of imni-
grafton of intellectual races over and
over again; in each case these dis
appeared and civilization decayed,
though the native fellah survived and
survives. There WILL the author
predicts, never be another dark age,
for the present Aryan conquerors rule

ers.' While the blonde type of man
kind requires for its evolution cold,
