An Insurance Dispute.

A makes application for a lie insur-
ance policy and Is assured that there is
no charge for issuing policy; that a cor
tain premium Is TO be paid each week IN
advance Application is made, say, April
10th and first premium paid, Policy Is
dated and delivered to A April 30th, and
he pays another premium, and Is In
formed that another premium will be due
May TIN; that the premium Of the l9th
was for week OF April 30th claims
policy did not exist before on and after
April a0th Who Is right?
~, W. p,
We do not like to decide questions OF
this character, but an insurance expert
gives lis the following opinions:
Referring to the enclosed inquory OF
j. w. r.. this Is a case Of so-called IN
dustrinl" life insurance, with which
am not as familiar as with Ordinary
or regular life insurance However, from
what j. w. r. says. think clearly \
Is right; that is, It the policy was dated
April a0th. 1t certainly did not exist be-
fore that date, and tho two weekly pay
ments no has made are for the two weeks
ending May 18th, This, of course. Is
assuming that there was no policy fec,
examiners fee or other charge than the
uniform weekly payment.

A DOC OFF THE NORTH.

It was at Fort Yukon that White Fang saw his first white men. As com pared with the Indians he had known, they were to him another race of beings a race of superior gods. They inn pressed him as possessing superior pow CT, and it Is on power that godhead rests. White Fang did ont reason 1t out did ont in his mind make the sharp generalization that the white gods were more powerful It was feeling, noth- ing more, and yet none the less potent. As in his puppyhood, the looming bulks of the tepees, man reared had affected him as manifestations of power, so was he affected now by the houses ana the huge fort, all of massive logs. Here was power. These white gods were strong, They possessed greater mastery over matter than the gods he had known, most powerful among which was Gray Beaver. And yet Gray Beaver was a child god among these white skinned ones.
 To be sure, White Fang only felt these things. He was not conscious of them. Yet it is upon feeling, more of ten than thinking. that animals act; and every act White Fang now per that the white men were the superior gods. Tn the first place, he was very suspicious of them. There was no tel ling what unknown terrors were theirs, what unknown hurts they could admin ister, He was curious to observe them, fearful of being noticed by them. For the first few hours he was content with sinking around and watching them from safe distance. Then he saw that no harm befel the dogs that were near to them and he came in closer.
 In turn, he fas an object of great curiousity to them. His wolhsh appear ance caught their eyes at once, and they pointed him out to one another. This act of pointing put White Fang on his guard, and when they tried to approach him he showed his teeth and backed away. Not one succeeded in laying hand on him and it was well that they did not.-Jack London, in Outing.
