THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes In With the New law-PauI
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law OF the State
of New York has opened up promis-
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale OF
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies, each OF
which practically bears the hall mark
of the State OF New York, and this new
order of things has established the
sale OF life insurance on correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
extravagant allowances to agents has
driven out of the business the old
type of insurance agent, who In many
cases virtually bought business. with
large rebates. instead OF selling IT,
His place is being taken by profes-
sors, lawyers. school teachers OF both
sexes, and others, who find that being
a life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all OF the
commission now goes to the agent.
Life insurance Is something that
everyone needs and under the pres
ent system It's sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton. president of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency or"
ganization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment. and the
standard he has set for his company
He says: I'VE want new agents, both
men and women. but none except en-
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is splendid
opportunity"
Mr.. Morton's policy of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force OF the Society is meeting with
success In all parts of the country.

KNITTING MACHINE ROMANCE.
inventsd That q Tilted Lover Might
Have His Revenge.

Romance may certainly figure in
many of the knitted waistcoats and
gorgeous stockings worn by our un-
dergraduates of to-day, but these have
not SO romantic an origin as the first
OF these articles produced in this
country.
For tradition has it that William
Lee, who in the sixteenth century in
vented the knitting frame on which
both stockings and waistcoats were
produced mechanically, was driven to
this piece of ingenuity by the cruel
houting of the lady he loved, who hap
pened to be stocking knitter.
Enraged at his failure to make an
impression on her heart, he sought to
make it on her purse by killing her
means of livelihood and one is glad
to read that all stocking makers COM
bined to Illustrate his cruel purpose.
with the result that he fled with his
Invention to France, where he finally
died OF broken heart. whether for
love of his lady or of his spoiled in
vention, tradition does not say.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

SAHARA GROWING DRYER.
French Observer Says the Gases Arc
Shrinking and Will Disappear.

c. F. Gautier. French explorer is
authority for the statement that the
Sahara is continuously becoming drier
to such an extent that the GASES are
perceptibly drying up and will disap-
pear altogether in relatively short
time. He quotes historic records and
physical signs to show that springs
were at one time more plentiful than
now. and that the extent OF the
patches where vegetation fourishes
were much greater even SO to 100
years ago.
AS the climate of the region has un-
dergone no change in perhaps thou
sands of years, he believes that the
disappearance of the water must be
due to purely mechanical causes. He
considers that 1t is due to the con-
tinual advance OF the great sand
masses to the north, thus forming an
impenetrable barrier against the wa
tershed of the Atlas mountains.-N. Y

Gilbreath of Mandan, commissioner of
agriculture and labor for the state of
North Dakota, stated that he had made
arrangements for the shipment of
about 300 men from the east. They
will not all come at once, but will be
sent in small gangs as they can be
secured, and nearly all Of them will go
to Devils Lake, where there is the
greatest need for them.
In discussing the labor situation,
Mr.. Gilbreath stated that there is a
greater demand for both skilled and
unskilled labor of all kinds and in all
parts Of the state, and he believes that
as the season progresses and the
weather becomes more moderate, the
demand will increase.
There Is vast amount of building
going on throughout the western part
of the state as well as here" he said,
"and men are needed for this work as
we'll as for farming operations"

considerably this year and will plant
a much larger acreage than usual.

"OAN6ERs OF PHILOSOPHY
Supt. b. 4. Wallace. Trail County,
Delivered an Instructive Address.

On Thursday the members of the
philosophical club were given the
privilege of listening to an excellent
paper on the Dangers OF Philoso-
ply" read by Supt. B. A. Wallace OF
Trail county. The speaker showed
that danger Of philosophy lies in the
fact that philosophy tends to destroy
the foundations upon which religious
and moral ideals rest. Unless these
are replaced by something better the
individual will be lacking in those
emotions which lead mankind to high
err walks.
In closing the speaker said:
"And what is the conclusion OF the
whole matter? Would you condemn
philosophy? someone asks. No. do
not. l feel that many individuals will
be benefited by It; that to certain
minds it has message beyond finite
measure in importance. To them its
opportunities ought to be thrown
open. That 1t ever ought to be
grees. doubt very much; and l also
doubt that 1t ought to be urged pro-
mscously on students in general.
am wondering. too. whether philoso-
ply could ever be of much value to
the masses after all. even If it would
not do them more harm in the ways
have indicated than it could ever
do them good. That both instructors
and students in the same subject
should keep constantly in mind that
they are dealing with edged tools
