Joke That Failed Twice.

Miss Adelbert had just returned
from a vacation spent at q tiny village
on the Maine coast. In recounting her
experiences she talked somewhat for
the benefit of a cousin, a quiet per-
son, who was visiting her city relative
for the first time in many years.
There was just one store in the
place." said Miss Adelbert, land they
kept everything that is, everything
they had to keep.
"One day I went to buy some soap,
and just on a venture | asked the
clerk if they had Browning. He stared
at me a second, then went OF and
looked under the counters and on the
shelves.
Presently he came back and said,
No, miss. We amt got none. We got
backing, an we got blum, an we
got whiting, but We amt got q bit O.
browning in the store"
Miss Adelhert had to make several
protests To assure her audience that
this really happened. Finally the
cousin asked. gravely, "But cousin
Bert, why didn't you say yarnish in
the first placc."-Youth's Companion.

MESSAGE ON INSURANCE
President Roosevelt Urges Congress
to Enact a General Law.
Every EGort should Ese Made TO Prevent
n Repetition of Scandals Disclosed
by the Arrnstron. Inquiry.

Washington, d. C.-President Roose-
| Welt SEM to Congress a message relat-
ing to insurance legislation, accom-
panied by the report and recommends
| tons OF the insurance convention.
| which was held in Chicago last Feb
ruary.
The text of the Presidents massage
| follows:
''To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
81 herewith transmit the report and
recommendations. with accompanying
| papers. of the insurance convention
which met in February last at Chicago.
The convention was called because of
the extraordinary disclosures of wrong
full insurance methods recently made
by the Armstrong Legislative Commit
tee of the State of New York, the sug-
ceStion that it should be called coming
to me originally from Governor John
a. Johnson. of Minnesota, through
Commissioner of Insurance Thomas
d. O'Brien, Of that State.
THE convention consisted of about
100 Governors, Acknowledgements and
Commissioners of Insurance of the
States and Territories of the Union.
The convention was seeking to accom-
pIish uniformity of insurance 'legisla-
tion throughout the States and Terri
tories. and as a prime step toward this
| purpose decided to endeavor to secure
the enactment by the Congress of the
United States of Il proper insurance
code for the District OF Columbia,
which might serve as 4 model for the
several States.
Before adjourning the convention
appointed n committee of three Attor-
ney-Generals and twelve Commission
ers OF Insurance Of The various States
TO prepare and have presented to the
Congress n bill which should emb0dy
the features suggested by the owen
ton.
1.-The committee recently met in Chi.
cago. and in thorough and painstakinG
fashion sought to prepare a bill which
should be at once protective of policy
holders and fair and just to insurance
companies, and which should prevent
the graver evils and abuses of the
business. and at the same time forestall
any wild or drastic legislation which
would be more harmful than beneficial
1.-The proposed hill is discussed al
length in the accompanying letter by
Superintendent Thomas e. Drake. OF
the Department of Insurance, in the
District of Columbia.
81 very earnestly hope that the Con
gresS at the earliest opportunity will.

changes as its wisdom may indicate
I have no expert familiarity with the
business. but / have entire faith in tho
right Judgment and single-minded pur
pose Of the insurance convention which
met at Chicago and of the committee OF
that convention which formulated the
measure herein advocated.
I'VE are not TO be pardoned if we fat
to take every step in Our power to pre-
vent the possibility of the repetition Of
such scandals as those that have oc
Cured in connection with the insurance
business as disclosed by the Armstrong
Committee.

STOCK TRANSFER TAX UPHELD
Highest New York Court Decides
Against Wall Street Brokers.

Highest New York Court Decides
Against Wall Street Brokers.
Albany. n. Y.-The Court OF Appeals
decided that the stock transfer tax
law passed by the last Legislature is
constitutional, sustaining the conten.
ton of Acknowledgement Mayer. who
in order that the State might immPdi
ately collect the tax. amounting to So.
100000 n year. took the law to the
courts within 4 week after it was
signed. The decision of the court up
holding the constitutionality of the law
was unanimous. Wall Street interests
are expected to pay up the tax they
have withheld. and not to carry the
fight to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
When the Jaw first went into effect
the brokers declared that it would
drive the New York Stock Exchange tC
Jersey City OF Philadelphia, and end In
depOpulating Wall Street. Instead OF
having that effect. the transfers of
stock upon which the State receives So
on each 100 shares, have increased.

A frdeed.

"I wonder how 1t seems to have
written so many books that you can't
remember the NUMBER" sighed a pref
~ girl, a youthful literary aspirant,
after meeting John Burroughs, the nat
uralist, at the Pen and Brush club re-
ception a few days ago.
The gray-bearded sage of Slabsides
had just remarked that he couldn't al
ways remember how many books he
was the author of, and had told this
story:
Il was dining with a lady recently,
and when 1 made that remark, she
spoke up. saying:
"'Oh, I know. You have written
Just thirteen, for I have them all here
in my library
"Did l write all those books?' I
said. Why, it doesn't seem posi-
ble.'
But you see my work has been my
play, and it has all been done so grad
ually that I can scarcely realize how
many there are. There will be four
teen in all when the one on which I
am now working is finished in June.

OUR ADOPTED ISLANDS.

Preparations are making for the
early beginning of work on the rail-
roads to be built i'll the Island Of
Panay, Negros and Cebu, in the Philip
pines, concessions for the construction
of which were recently granted to q
syndicate.
In 1897 the value Of merchandise
shipped from the United States to
Porto Rico WAS less than $2,0O0,00O; in
1905 it was over $14.OOO,0OO. Porto
Rico's shipments to the United States
increased from 100000 in 1860 to al
most $l6,G0G,O0O IN 1905.

uraI channels TO carry it off, so vol
canic erupionsa and earthquakes re-
suit.
There must have been a weak stra-
tum under San Francisco, DR.. Uhler
said, and it seemed to be near the
coast. He thought, in all probability,
the disturbance was entirely earth
quake activity and not volcanic. This
condition, he suggested, might
have been caused by Washings from
the coast a great distance below the
surface and he displacement of i'm

Reflections of a Bachelor.

"A girl can be jealous about a man
even when she doesn't like him.
A man has to lose a good deal OF
money OF the races to feel as bad
about as he does when he gets stung
for a small subscription TO a charity.
1t would be a good investment to
have so much money that people who
borrow from you would be afraid OF
you not to pay you back.
