HER LUMINOUS HOUR

Mrs. Maynard flushed, paIed and

CHOOSING OUR OWN raousLEs,
Writer Looks at Chronic Bothers In .
New Way.

We are apt to quarrel with our
troubles under the mistaken idea that
they have been set upon us and not
realizing that we have sIl along I'M
consciously been sppropriating them
to ourselves. Every one has choice
OF troubles. and II depends largely
upon himself as to the ones he shall
select This being so, let us take
thought of tomorrow, that we may
suffer as we choose and not blindly.
There is a set of married troubles,
and one for bachelors only. Which
VIII you have? Yours Is the choice.
A baby is great trouble. Is It
well to have him? Is 1t wise to take
him on. or will some other trouble
equally formidable be better for us in
the long run?
Any amount OF trouble may be
caused by too much money. Shall we
run the risk or not?
A kiss has often caused no end of
trouble. And it is likely to lead to
others.
Let us have patience and take time
to make our selection. The worst OF
1t Is that by the time we have learned
the standing of various troubles, their
nature and ways, 1t is too late to
change. And we cannot begin all
over again. SO that in the end we
may be sadded with troubles that we
would willingly exchange for others

earlier.-Tom Mason in Puck.

BIG OFFICIALS ESCAPE

Indictments have been found in
New York against the three highest
officers of the Mutual Reserve Life
Insurance company caught in the net
of the recent investigation as a side
issue. The men have been arrested
and are out on bail.
But, meanwhile, what about the
heads of the three big companies whose
doings stirred UP all this scandal?
One president is dead; verify, he stands
before a higher court. Another presi-
dent has gone to France, with his
grating family, to join the weak youth
whose actions started the trouble. The
other officials with those of the third
company are still here. The investi-
cation report is in, and the recon-
mendations for reformation have been
made. But not one step has been
taken toward criminal action against
the men guilty of the evil, save to
sue, after they were safely off Amer
can soil, the McCurdy outfit, when it
was known that no hope existed of
securing service on them.
The business of one of these three
big companies fell off some $SO,O0O,000
last year. 1t can hardly be supposed
that the loss by the others was much
less. Nearly $3.50, 200, 900 less insurance
in force in three companies than was
the case a year bacll-all because the
public confidence was shaken. Why?
Because the public foresaw that the
men high up, guilty of stealing the
public's money, would go scot free.
This is rather rough indictment
of New York justice-but the events
prove the assertions. Else why did
the McCurdys sail the day before the
law reached for them? Why do the
others sit about in freedom and Sc
cumty? Why is none, from the graft
ing and senile New York senator to
the malodorous Andy Hamilton, made
to "put it back? And why is dust
kicked up by arresting a set of officials
of a small company while the big viii
lains escape?
