HAVE SOME ENJOYMENT.

How much better to use some of the
good things of life as we 60 along; to
make our humble homes as CHEEKY and
bright as possible now. Do not starye
today, neither body, mind or soul, think
ing that poverty will knock at your door
tomorrow. Don't hoard and scrimp
through all the best years of your life that
you may be generous in your will. Life
is uncertain, and it IS better to make 'your
children happy while they are under the
agency that will make their lives sweeter
and better, than to deny them these that
you may leave them large account when
you are gone. 1t will be too late for them
to return kindness to you then. Don't
keep the parlor shut up and live in the
oitchen, unless you want the boys and
girls to be anxious to leave you. Don't
think they must not go anywhere but to
Sunday school and prayer meeting; re-
member you were young once yourself.
Do not ask them to walk two miles to a
singing or lecture after working hard all
day, when there are two or three horses
in your barn that would enjoy the trip as
much as they. For Gods sake show
them you think as much of them as you
do of your beasts if not more.
Take time to enjoy the society of your
friends, especially the companlonship of
your children, it will only be a few years
at the best that they will be with you,
and these ought to be years of happiness
to both you and them. Would you not
rather have them look back when out in
the world to that blessed home Though it
may not have been mansion) where they
received more joy and comfort than the
get home in week and hardly return to
your burial? If we are ever happy in this
life we must enjoy what every day brings.
We should be grateful and glad for all the
good that comes into our lives, and
patiently bear our trials, believing that all
things if rightly used will fit us for the
enjoyment Of. perfect happiness here.

coffee, with slight decrease in the
use OF spirituous liquors. It is esti-

Losses in West Will Be
Pa d by the Eastern
POIiCy-HOlderS.
Advance of Is Per Cent
Is Ordered by the
Big Companies.
Chicago and Boston People
and GOthdmiteS Are the
Heaviest Losers.

CHICAGO, May 9.-The Tribune to-
day says: Fire insurance rates in Chi
eago on all less desirable risks will be
advanced 25 per cent or more to reiin-
burse companies that have suffered loss
IN the san Francisco fire.
This action practically was decided
yesterday at a meeting Of twenty
Western managers in the rooms OF The
Western Union IN the American Trust
and Savings building. At the same
tine there viii be a large reduction in
brokers commissions.
The raise in rates viii not be a 'hat"
advance. It viii affect what are known
as the improbable hazards and it will
be confined chiefly to the congested
district bounded by Harrison street,
the river and the lake.
The stock yards also will be consid-
cred as congested territory in the ad-
vance Of rates. and likewise certain
manufacturing sections
Fireproof buildings will be exempt
from the increase
It is probable that the advance IN
rates viii be mace throughout the en-
tire district controlled by the Western
Union. extending from Pennsylvania 10
the Rocky Mountains.
An insurance manager, speaking on
rates outside Of Chicago, said that there
should be q fat advance Of so per cent
in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri,
Kentucky and Tennessee. It was not
ed that he represents what is known
as a non-union eornnanv
Eighty companies in Chicago and the
West belong 10 the Western Union.
Fifty companies are in the independent
class.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose Of hearing report from corn
mittee Of five insurance managers who
went TO New York to attend confer
ence Of insurance men.
This committee reported that there
was e geeral sentiment for advancing
insurance rates on Improbable busi-
ness and in congested districts and for
cutting down the amount Of commits
sion paid to brokers. The meeting was
secret and after it was over those OF
the insurance men who were willing
10 admit that it had been held said
that nothing definite had been done
in the matter Of advancing rates, al
though all agreed that there should be
an advance on improbable risks and
that the congestion hazard" should
be recognized in The future.

EMPLOYMENT BUREAU

CRIPPLED IS OPENED
Men and Women Enfeebled by Ply.
sica lnfirmities Are to Be
Provided With Work.
Places Are Found for Many of Them
With Chicago Firm at
Good Wages.
Welcome the First Clean of Sunshine
That Has Frightened Their
Lives in Years.

CHICAGO, May 9.--The Employment
Bureau for the Aged and the Crippled
opened yesterday and a hundred gray
haired men and women, enfeebled by
physical infirmities, made their way
slowly to the Office Of the Bureau of
Charities in the Unity building and
gave their names to the bureau officials
appointed to receive them.
Most of the applicants confessed that
they were outcasts-that none would
give them WORK, and that everywhere
they had gone they had been told that
their days Of usefulness and service
were ended, that the working world
had no place for them.
During the day employment at good
wages was found for forty of the lame
and the aged. The others went away
happy with the assurance that every
thing possible would be done to find
work for them. and some said 1t was
the first gleam Of sunlight that had
come into their lives since they crossed
over from "manhood' into "old age"
Men of 45 confessed that employers
had told them that they were too old
to be Of service; the women applicants
for work put the age limit at 55.
One man with heart failure was given
employment as an attendant in phy-
sician's Office, and three one-legge ed
men were given jobs as watchmen. A
feeble-minded lad discovered that re
could fold paper in 8. box factory and
was employed at that occupation. One
of the men whose right leg was miss
ing was employed at work In a fac
tory in which the hands alone are used,
and one of the amen whose left leg was
missing was intrusted with the work Of
operating small machine which is run
with one pedal.

that in a general way, under the poll
cies the insured is not only permitted
but instructed to save all possible re-
mains after the fire. For removal of
debris the proper way is to get per-
mission from the respective companies.
The association expects to open up

WAVES ALL NOTICE.
Mr.. Spencer said that as a commit
tee they would simply speak without
waiving any rights of the companies,
but that there was no disposition on
the part Of the companies to take ad-
vantage Of technicalities.
In regard to aotice OF loss, Mr.. Low
den stated that in his Office card was
posted that they waived all notice..
Mr.. Spencer stated that most compa-
nies required immediate notice, but
that they were not going to demand
impossibilities. He advised, however,
that notices be sent in as soon as pos
sible. Where the policy is lost gen.
eral notice should be sent to the COM
pany, giving location, etc.
Mr.. Palache undertook to send the
committee a map showing the city,
with list of the unburned buildings.
With regard to earthquake damage,
Mr. Palache said that it is the general
understanding that If an important
part Of building has fallen the in
surance ceases, but as far as any triv-
ial damage is concerned the feeling Is
expressed that that will cut no figure
except in so far as that diminishes the
value Of that building.
The chairman: Il take it, generally
are as much interested>in in the rebuild
ing Of San Francisco as any other in
dustry, and that they are going to lend
as much aid in adjusting these losses
as possible and pay them off as quickly
as possible in the matter Of getting
men together to do it."
Mr.. Irving: That is statement Of
fact"
Mr.. Spencer: You can say in par
ticular terms that the insurance COM
panies are backing up the citizens of
San Francisco TO get their money and
to build their places. They are here to-
meet the obligations of their policies"
After a vote of thanks to the men,
bers of the Fire Adjusting Bureau for
their attendance and frank expression
Of opinions the meeting adjourned.
In conclusion Mr. Metson said that
his committee would keep in close
touch with the insurance interests and
that everything would be done that
could be done TO facilitate the collec-
ton of insurance so that the work of
rebuilding the city might begin with
the least delay possible
