A young lawyer had become very
much attached to a certain young wO-
man who was somewhat celebrated
among her friends for her repartee
The only obstacle in the pathway Of
the young man was his exceeding shy
ness, for, while always in command Of
himself in the courtroom, he became
almost speechless in the presence of
his adored one. AS one method OF
showing his devotion, it was his Gus
tom to shower his inamorata with pres
ents.

from satisfied with the status of the
case preached the subject.

On the lower part of one farm we

May to September we pasture hogs in
these orchards. They eat the grass
and windfall apples and with Il fair
amount of grain make good pork,
which pays a fair profit In addition
TO this the good they do to the orchard
by their manure and roofing about the
trees is very evident. We do not

March we scatter red clover and rape

A Homemade Island.

Whale island, the large gunnery es-
Establishment for training seamen of the
British royal navy. is not natural
island. Years ago it was only mud
bank which was uncovered by water
at low tide. When the authorities com
menced to make the docks in Ports
mouth, the earth from the excavations
was deposited from barges upon this
mud bank. until small island was
formed, showing mt high water about
the size of Il whales back; hence its
name. As the work proceeded the Is
land grew rapidly, and Il few years
later railway was constructed on
piles from the dockyard works to the
island, and the earth was deposited
much more quickly than when barges
were used In 1860 this island had
been made so large that the admiralty
decided to lay it out as drill ground.
A small pier was erected and house
was built for warrant officer to live
in and act us caretaker of the Island.
At the present time the island is about
thirty-seven acres in area and provides
accommodation for over 1880 men,

TNHE Investigation which a special
committee OF the New York leg
4 lslature is conducting into the
operations of life insurance com.
panies has brought into the public eye
the men AT the head of the big insur-
ance concerns of the country 1t will
be the duty of the committee to report
back 10 the Legislature recommended
tons as to needed legislation for the
better control of insurance companies
chartered in the state of New York or
doing business under its laws. The in
veSugation aims at discovering where
there has been unwiSe mana cement or
extravaganza IN administration of such
companies or lack of safeguards in the
interests of policy holders. There has
been much talk about the large Sala-
ries paid to men high up in these insti-
tutionS, and the testimony adduced by
the committee has confirmed the DOpu-
lar impression that princcly sums are
given such officers for their services
The first witness before the committee.
Robert ~ Grannis, vice president of
the Mutual Life, testified that he re-
ceiyeS $50,GO0 Il year. Another inSur-
ance official who appeared before the
committee was John A. Mccall, presi-
dent of the New York Life who re-
ceives a salary of $4,000 a year Two
other insurance presidents who draw
100000 salaries are John Rogers Hege-
man OF the Metropolitan Life and
Richard y. McCurdy of the Mutual Life.
Mr.. Mccall is one of the best known
men in the world of insurance. and it
would be hard 10 say whether he him
self or his magnificent country seat at
Long Branch enjoys the most fame.
He has amaSSed large wealth in the
course of his forty years career as an
Insurance man, and over S1,000.000 Of
his fortune went into the building and
furnishing OF this palatial home, which
is known as Shadow Lawn and is one
of the show places of the New Jersey
coast, Il region containing not a few
homes of mii.iouaires. enc of the fea-
lures of the residence is the social hall

The FIRST Wills.

Wills were at first oral. as were also
gifts of land, and were only morally
binding on the survivors. Origen ana
other fathers of the early church crei-
tied Noah with having made a Will
and in the fourth century the bishop
of Brescia declared all those heret'cal
who denied Noah's division OF the
world to his three sons by VIII. Inc
Oldest known wills are those of EGYPT.
Both oral and written wills not lnrre-
quently contained lmprecatlons OIL
those who should neglect them. Inc
earliest written will in existence ls
that of Sennacherib, which was founo

An official of Il New England road
told the following:
The ticket agents in the Boston office
of our road are greatly troubled by
patrons who. when wishing to pur-
chase tickets, lay down coin and
neither tell where they are going nor
how many tickets they want. This ne
cessitates one or more questions on the
part of the patient agent. One day a
little elderly lady approached the win
dow of the Office. placing large fami-
ly umbrella on the slab, and, after
fumbling nervously in her pocketbook,
pulled out a quarter and laid it down
without word to the ticket seller.

ed the ticket agent.
"Oh, Pm going to the DOCTOR" was
the tremulous reply.
