Insurance Companies on Trial.
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
Even if it means that some of them
will be forced to suspend it is hardly
a time for fire insurance companies
to quibble about the payment OF loss
es in San Francisco. There are con-
fiicting reports as to the extent Of
the damage just as there are different
statements as to the ability OF all
concerns to stand the shock. In dis
asters of this character it generally
happens that the number of fire poll
cies increase enormously and the pub
lie, which is always discriminating is
apt to seek protection with compan-
les which show the most liberal and
the most generous spirit in dealing
with their patrons.
The New York Sun, which is an au-
thority on most subjects, says that
it is practically agreed in business
circles that at least fifteen OF the
smaller concerns will have to retire
altogether after paying their San
Francisco losses, and that two or
three Of the American companies will
fail altogether and go into the hands
of receivers without paying any OF
the outstanding claims in the strick-
en- city. ''If any company is unable
to continue business because of this
confagration, says all insurance Of
ficer to the Sun, ''it will be futile for
it to try to stave off the inevitable
by fighting the claims on earthquake
technicalities. Any company doing
that in the face OF the present suffer
ing on the Pacific coast will be as
completely ruined by public contempt
as if every dollar of its assets had
gone out" That, of course, is the
correct view, and it's effect will be a
determination on the part OF every
company to meet the issue squarely
if it expects to write fire policies here
after.
Fire insurance is absolutely essen
tial in any business. The amounts
paid to the losers in San Francisco
will give them a start and it will help
to rebuild the city. 1t is protection
which ali of us must have. There are
| ignorant teachers and leaders who
contend that the accumulation ol
millions OF dollars as a surplus fund
by the fire underwriters is dangerous
when common sense ought to con-
vince them that the only safety ol
the people depends upon that accum'
ulation. The entire world, however,
will watch the adjustment OF losses,
and those companies which pay most
promptly and which do not attempt
to escape on technicalities will be the
ones to gain most in the end.

Newspaper Advertising.


After studying the science and art
of advertising you will conclude that
the newspaper is the only desirable
advertising medium. The relation
ship that reliable, up-to-date news
paper sustains to merchants and the
people generally is one of mutual
benefit. The newspaper acts as an
introducer for the business intrests
OF the country to the people. 1t
places the advertiser. with whatever
he wishes to say about his business,
in the homes OF the best people. 1t
carries with it d recommendation
that is most valuable. The people
who read the newspapers have con-
fidence i'm the advertisers. Perhaps
you object to newspaper advertising
because you have heard or thought,
or somehow are under the impression
that it is too expensive. Right here
you are wrong Advertising in the
newspapers is the least expensive oi
all forms or advertising.

LITTLE BOY BLUE.
BY EUGENE FIELD
The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and staunch it stands
The little toy soldier is red with rust
And the musket mOlds in his hands,
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair
And that was the time our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there
Now, don't you go until come, )" he said,
And don't make any noise
So he toddled off to his trundle bed
To dream of the pretty toys.
And as he w as dreaming, an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue.
Oh! the years are many, the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Ay faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand
The smile OF little face.
And they wonder as waiting the long years
through,
In the dust of that old chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there.

Keeping their tryst through the slow going

For the hand that stationed them there,

Three mourners they we're for Little Boy
Blue
Three ere the cold winds had begun;
Now two are left watching-the soldier and

But for him the vigil s done.
For him, too, the Angel has chanted a song,
song that is lullng and true
He has seen the white gates OF the Mansions
of Rest
Thrown wide by his Little Boy Blue
God sent not the Angel of Death for his
soul
Not the Reeper that cometh for all;
But out of the shadows that curtained the
day
He heard his lost little one call;
Heard the voice that he loved and following
fast
Passed on to the far-away Strand
And he walks the streets of the City of Peace

gular clergy from 1853 to $685.. Colleges
