The Metropolitan Life insurance
Company, in New York City,

more than S1,OOO,OOO of risks on
Negro policyholders, has issued
instructions to its agents that after
January they are to accept no

Prudential Company is the only
company that has hitherto refused
to accept Negroes, or, if accepting
them for large policies, charged
premiums far in excess of those
charged the whites. The New

In a dramatic manner the trial
of William Crockett, white man,
charged with the murder of Lum
Henderson, a Negro, came to an
end about 6 o'clock this morning,
when Judge Henry Peace dismiss
ed the jury with stinging rebuke
declaring that the jury had ac-
quilted Crockett because he was a
white man and killed Negro. In
conluding Judge Peace said: "If
the dead man had been a white
citizen it would not have taken
you two hours to have returned a
verdict of guilty, and l don't see
how any member of the jury can
go from this court house and face

Familiarity. in business or out,

the modern girl is happier in the end
for losing some of her Illusions re-
9arding men. Perhaps. But If she
gains along this line she loses by hay

hood, wifehood and motherhood. Only
the woman who can hold these sacred
for herself and the man she loves en-
riches the home life in America and
leaves to her country the heritage of
well balanced sons and daughters.
The woman e,mbittered by the con-
tempt which follows familiarity with
men In business sees in matrimony
only relief from ink toll. For her.
marriage docs not represent the full
flment of her highest destiny. the most
wonderful opportunities Of womanhood.
She is not reaching out for the crown
ing happiness of her life. She is
grin,ly trying TO choose the less of
two evils.
And this brings us to the gravest
problems of this trinity of discussions.

William Knowles. who c~ultivates
some twelve acres of land just below
Middlechurch ferry on east side Of
the Rec River, has probably rs fine a
display Of horticultural products as
any in Manitoba. The whole OF his
holding is in a high state of cultivation
and literally crowded with splendid
vegetable specimens, which have fortu-
nately escaped damage by hail, al
though heavy storms have more than
once occurred within a few miles. The
potatoes are a wonderful crop. and he
expects to raise 1.5OO bushels from his
patch Of ~ acres. A half-dozen Of
tubers selected yesterday average more
than a pound each. Adjoining the po-
tatoes may be seen a marvellous collec-
ton Of tomatoes. There are 600 plants.
al growing under an enormous weight
of fruit. One single stock picked yes
terday contained eighteen tomatoes and
weighed four pounds. This %extraordin-
airy example Of marvellous growth. to-
gether with some Of the potatoes, were
sent to the Free Press Office.
The proprietor was the first in town
with several specimens, including green
corn. The season has been very favor
able for onions. and one square patch
Of nearly an acre is looking remark
ably healthy. In addition. there are
good crops Of cabbages, cauliflower,
turnips. parsnips. carrots, pumpkins,
marrows. cucumbers. celery, peas, let
tuce, rhubarb. etc. The floral depart
ment has not been neglected, and a
charming display of all the well-known
blooms were shown, including a spe-
cially choice lot Of asters.
Mr.. Knowles, who gained most Of his
gardening experience in England. ID
loud in his praise Of Manitoba soil for
vegetable raising. and is gratifed with
the result Of his first attempt at exten.
sive horticulture.
