LIFE PERIODS OF READING.
Appropriate Mental Pabulum for the
Ordinary Individual.

Three authors a year, If we'll chosen,
will be enough for the average busi-
ness man to read, thinks Henri Mazel,
q well-known French sociological
writer. This statement occurs in a
book entitled What a man Must Read
in His Lifetime" Excluded from con-
sideration are the daily papers and
works required by ones profession or
business. From the Boston Traveller
we quote the writer's division of a
mans life into periods with the ap-
propriate subjects for reading:
"The program is laid out in life pc
riods of seven years each. During the
first period from the age of IS to that
of "a, poets and romances should be
read; the second, from 25 to 81, should
be consecrated to the great poets of
other lands, to the classics, to the an
cient historians; the third, from 80 to
3S, to the great antique poets, to mod
ern politics, to old chroniclers: the
fourth, from 80 to 45, to our classic
poets and contemporary novelists, the
great philosophers and to the authors
of memoirs of recent centuries: the
NTH, from 46 to SO, to our great think
ers OF the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, to the ancient philosophers,
to recent authors of memoirs; the
sixth and last, SO to SO, to the highest
religious authors. Lit, Digest.

STRAIGHT FLUSH IN PAWN.
Collateral Loan Banker Advances
Money on q Strong Poker Hand.

Many queer things have been Of
fered tonne as pledges for loans" said
the head man in Simpsons, "and the
stories behind them would fill a book.
There was one man, for instance, who
put up a $40 gold piece for a loan of
30. The coin was Keepsake and
he wouldn't part with 1t. But the
oldest loan | ever made was on a
poker hand, says the New York Press.
Of course, | took chance, but the
risk was good and the profit consider
ably above the usual rates of interest.
1t happened not so long ago, either.
ut was late one afternoon when
three men came In. They were all
more or less excited and asked to see
me privately. The spokesman was a
city employe, member of Tim Sui
livan's Hesper club, and knew him
slightly. He explained that he had
been sitting in pretty stiff game
/ guess you know where 1t is-and
there came big jackpot in which,
after q lot of play, the betting had mar
rowed down to him and q prominent
politician. No, 1t wasn't Big Tim or
Little Tim, either, but you're warm.
My visitor was all in. The game was
table stakes, but the politician offered
to waive the rules and wanted to bet
$500 on his hand.
My visitor asked for and received
15 minutes time to raise the money.
In the presence of the other payers
the remainder of the deck of cards had
been wrapped and sealed. EaoU play.
er had then shown his hand to a com.
mittee to guarantee against substitu.
tion or any crooked play, and the
search for the necessary $500 began.
MY visitor had gone after one or
two friends, but they were not to be
found. AS last resort he came to
me. If would advance the money on
the strength of the hand he would
pay any interest within reason. With
that he drew his five cards from his
inside pocket. He held straight
flush of hearts, king high. There was
only one other hand that could beat
1t. and that was an ace high flush.
The first question / asked was: Who
dealt the cards?' My visitor had. I
considered the proposition for half a
minute and decided to run the risk.
There wasn't one chance in a thou
sand that the other fellow had a
straight flush also, so putting $500 in
my pocket, went around to the place
where the game was being played I
found matters just as my visitor had
described. The politician wf~ted to
raise the bet then to $1,000, but de.
clined to go that far. The cards were
then shown. The politician held the
four aces. He was game, though, and
never batted an eyelid as my man
gathered in the stakes. My $500 was
handed over to me with the rate OF
interest agreed upon
How much was it?" asked lis.

compass Discovered Iona Aao,

Did Columbus discover the com.
pass? Prof. G. Hellman has pointed
opt that, independently of Columbus
finding, the magnetic declinating must
have been known on the continent
from the cQnstruction of many Iocket
sundials provided with magnetic
needles for adjusting the instruments
TO the astronomical meridian. and
showing the declination by line on
the floor of the compass box. Three
such sundials have been discovered
antedating Christopher Columbus, one
having been constructed in 1851. The
magnetic variation must have been
known. apparently, before the dawn OF
the fifteenth century. but by whom
and where 1t was discovered still re,
main mystery.

INSURANCE NEEDS
CLOSER SCRUTINY
Authorities Admit Prevailing
Conditions Are Un-
satisfactory.
LEGISLATURE is BLAMED
CT OSER SUPERVISION is PROM
ISED FOR NEXT YEAR.

That insurance laws and conditions IN
this state are far from satisfactory, is ad-
mitted by the supervising authorities. The
secretary of state says the legislature is
to blame for not passing adequate in
surance laws last winter.
This office has not the time said
Colonel George b. Squires, who is IN
charge of the insurance department, TO
check up on every insurance company
or to investigate them. There are 100
insurance companies doing business in tins
state and we have enough to do to keep
tab on them with our limited force. We
could not possibly conduct any elaborate
Investigations.
Did YOU know the conditions of the
National Mutual?" he was asked.
NO: ] did not; and what is more,
neither did the insurance commissioner
of Nebraska. 1t is true that the law
gives the secretary of state the power TO
cause an investigation by the bank eX-
aminer, at the formers direction. but the
bank examiner is as deep in the mlre as
we are in the mud. He has practically
sixty banks to look after, and II he were
sent away to investigate the affairs OF
any insurance company his office would
suffer"
You have had complaints of insurance
companies that are under more or less
suspicion in some quarters?
Yes; we have had number of COM
plants and we are doing the best we
admission next year their affairs will be
carefully scrutiniZed, and If there is any
thing suspicious about them their appn-
cation will be refused, that's all The
statements will begin TO come in soon
after the first OF the year and Will con-
tinue TO come until the latter part OF Fen
ruary. / think we can hold pretty goou

What remedy would you suggest?
''The creation of a department of in
sIlrance, whose sole duty it should be TO
look after insurance affairs. Senator
Hollingsworth and Senator Benner y.
Smith and myself discussed last winter

duced but il failed of passage. There -
no use beating about the bush. AS your

MRS. BRADLEY BROKEN
IN HEALTH AS RESULT
OF TERRIFIC ORDEAL

That Mrs Anna Bradley must have I'M
dergOne q terrible ordeal may scarcely be
questioned when her prison life in the
District of Columbia is considered. Mrs.
Bradley was imprisoned among more than
800 negroes, and when she was not in
the court room, during recess, she was
confined in dungeon beneath the rickety
court house where the trial was had.
That, in effect was the substance of
Judge Powers testimony. who returned
last night from the east.
THE warden and the matron were cX-
ceedingly kind to Mrs. Bradley, but the
accommodations of the place and its SAM
tation are miserable. 1 wonder at that
the more because it is a United States
institution.
1.-THE morning after Mrs. Bradley was
confined IN this prison there were 800 male
negroes 9here and fully 100 negresses.
There was only one other white woman
with whom Mrs. Bradley shared a tiny
cell. There was scarcely any privacy.
The matron was kind enough to let US
use her room for our consultations, other
wise we would have been hard pressed
for a place for conference.
During the trial Mrs. Bradley was re-
moved to dungeon in the basement as
soon as recess was announced. She bore
up wonderfully well in public, but in her
cell she often broke down and cried like
a child.
I'VE had a time trying to convince
Mrs. Bradley that she ought TO go on
the stand and tell the whole story So
Brown that she kept his picture constant
ly in her cell, and it was not until an
appeal was made to her through the read
ing of Browns will that we succeeded.
After the will had been read to her es-
pecially that portion affecting her chill
dren, she gave in and promised to go on
the stand and tell her story. Owing to
the condition of the Wonans mind I
was in deadly fear at every moment that
she would fail. She tolc her story, how
ever, and made an excellent witness al
though throughout she shielded Brown as
much as possible. and at one time we hes
itated for fear that she might take the
entire blame upon herself
THE people of Salt Lake would not
know the Mrs. Bradley whom they knew
a year ago and a day, so changed is she.
Her physical condition is truly pitiful but
I believe that she will gradually recover
both her mental and her physical con-
dition. She Is now at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. A B. Hayes at Hyattsville in
Maryland. but she will soon return TO
Utah / understand.
II note that the papers have had much
to say about proposed proceedings to
break Browns will Now. there never
has been one word about the will of Sena-
tor Brown. 1t is my personal belief that
the children of Mrs. Bradley Should re-
