Paris, Feb. 1.-THE United States
consul general in Paris and the eonsuls
at Harre, Bordeaux, Nice, Marseilles,
and Nantes, yesterday received orders
from Washington through the American
embassy to take possession OF the ar.
chives OF the Venezuelan eonsulates in
those cities. The orders expressly limit
the action Of the consuls TO taking pos
session Of the archives.
The effect of this is to suspend fur.
Their consular business, as the archives
cover the old papers, whereas the limita-
ton prevents the transaction Of new
consular business. The limitation fol.
lows the ruling by Premier Rouvier that
Venezuela, having taken the initiative,
it was incumbent upon France to follow
the same course.

WE RECENTLY SETTLED A CLAIM

900 insurance paid promptly to fam
ily where it was due. One Of the poll
cies had been in existence in the COM
pany over forty years, and even then
the amount we paid was more than the
amount he paid. In the same bunch Of
papers the family held in possession poll
cies representing $4,000 insurance in
companies where the insured had paid
in large amounts OF premiums, but these
companies and their policies died first.
That is one OF the many reasons why
we say our insurance is the best insur-
ance in the world 57th year, doing
business in 40 states.

And in various forms and favors
He much loves his fellow man. j.
In that land there are no hearses. ~

Would increase its solemn gloom.

And they have no cemeteries
Where the tropic palms are waving

That wise king brooks no embalming;
NO exposures of stale viands
In the papers ere are seen.
There is every one a stranger
To all fear OF ptOmaine danger.
So they need no meat inspector
With can of kerosene.
Some kind neiShboring tribe produces
The chief victuals for their uses.
Save when for their wives relations
They just now and then make room
Aye. and sometimes for each other.
For there each man loves his brother.
Ger a race of beef trust scorners
Reigns the king of the Gazum.
