ANOTHER CAUSE OF STORM.

Another storm has been raised over
the head OF the Williamsburg city by

this company used the form known as
the New York standard, which Is
used by al other American computes.
The new policies now being issued by
the Williamsburg city In Salt Lake and
elsewhere contain a radical earthquake
clause reading as follows.
This company shall not be liable for
less on damage oCcasioned by or
through any volcano. earthquake or
hurricane. or other eruption, convul-
sion or disturbance

The SIGNATURE Was Good.

A story is told of how the late ex-
Gov. Joseph A. Gilmore, of New
Hampshire, when he was superintens
dent Of the Concord & Claremont
Railroad, once wrote a letter to one
of his section bosses who had done
something to displease him. All the
man could make out was the date and
Superintendent Gilmore's, signature.
Some time afterward, being in Con-
cord, the man went to call on the SUI
perintendent at his office.
Hello, John, how do you. do?" said
Mr. Gilmore. We'll, what are you do
ing now?"
why, Pm up here at the same
place on the section, Mr.. Gilmore" re-
piled John.

you get a letter from me?" naming
the date.
why, yes, certainly" answered
John.
well. didn't you know that that
was a letter of dismissal?"

tonished John. NO! couldn't make
it out, except that it was from head
quarters and signed by you, sir. But
after some study l concluded 1t was
a pass. AS none of the conductors
on the road could read it, they all
accepted my statement that it was a
pass from Mr.. Gilmore, and have
been riding on it ever since.'
John kept his place on the section.

would become of the babies while their

were getting on on the 1854 other days
of the year" said Miss Alice Henry of
Australia to the New York Equal Suf-
frage Association, at the Hotel Aston,
but their possible fate on that one day
out of 365 seemed to give them great
concern.
But the matter settled itself very
simply. We found, on, the first day
when we enjoyed the federal franchise,
that there We're plenty of women politi-

the mothers did not think 1t necessary
to avail themselves of such services,
for there was no, law against taking
