HoLYOKE, COLORADO.

A wise puppy being told to lie down

purely on his prejudice against obedi.

assert his freedom by doing what he

LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
TRUST.
Responsibilities Of Officers and Di.
rectors.

Evidently President Kingsley of the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect to the responsible
ity and duty of directors of corpora
tions. Speaking to the new board of
trustees, on the occasion of his elec.
ton to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than private business, that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
Of public service and with the respon-
sibilities that attach TO going bust
ness which at the same time must be
administered as a trust"
He also realizes that similar respon-
sibilities rest upon the officers of the

who are day by day to carry this bur.

Best of all, perhaps. he feels that
words are cheap. and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short OF
performance. My thanks. therefore,
he continues. "for an honor which out.
ranks any distinction within the reach
Of my ambition, cannot be expressed
in words: they must he read out Of

.olllerIes Under the Sea.

AZ Cape Breton there are immense
eolleries being worked under the
ocean. These submarine mines cover
thousand acres, and are being in
creased steadily. The mines are en-
tered at the shore, and the operators
follow the vein beneath the water for
more than a mile. 1t might be ex-
pected that the weight of the water
would force its way into the mine.
The bed of the ocean is as tight as
cement cistern. A sort of fireclay
lines the submarine roof of the mine,
and the sediment above is held in
place and packed down by the water
pressure until there is not crevice
nor drop OF water from overhead.

RIPON WAS AN EASY MARK
Fox Lake, However Gets An
ADVANTAGE On Errors.

Ripon while a little late in arriving
Sunday afternoon, came with en-
thusiastic hopes Of repeating the per-
formance of Fox Lake on Saturday,
but their ardor way very much cooled
when the local lads found their
pitcher for five runs in the first in
ming. All through the game the
local lads squelched all their hopes,
seemingly pounded out a run every
time they choose. Pitcher Whitman,
supposed to be star from Milwaukee.
proved easy, and he had everything
but control. The Grand Rapids boys
touched him up for nineteen hits,
and stole fifteen bases.
On the other hand Byers. the local
south-paw, struck out nineteen men,
and allowed no hits or runs. This is
the second time in seven days that he
has pitched a no-hit-no-run game,
and his performance Sunday has
raised his stock immensely. The
performance is the more remarkable,
when it is considered that the Ripon

The local lads met defeat Saturday
in a closely contested game with Fox
Lake, There was only difference of
one run at the wind up, and all
through the excitement was intense.
Up to the last inning the game was a
tie, and had it not been for the ''off
day" for number of the boys who
made costly errors, the Grand Rapids
boys would have had a strong teams
scalp hanging to their belts. As it
was however, the game proves one of
the most intensly interesting game of
the season, and it was no discredit to
the local lads to loose. The Fox Lake
aggregation is perhaps the strongest
aggregation of Independent players in
the state, and many think the Grand
Rapids team done well in holding
them down to but one run advantage.
The game was attended by 1850 people
and the result is best told in the fol-
