TRADITION OF THE ROSE.
Pretty Legend Current Among North
American Indians.

The North American Il Sians of the
western coast have tradition that
roses were created without thorns.
So tall and fair they grew that all
creatures were attracted by their
beauty and grace. Animals that
browse upon grass and green herbage
soon discover the tender sweetness OF
the roses abundant foliage. and then
every rose tree holding its flowers
aloft but attracted attention and drew
destruction to itself.
Every part of the earth had been
given its glory of roses, but In every
place there were animals which
sought the bushes to deyour them,
and and tribes of roses were in dan
tremity they held council. for in
that faraway morning of the world
plants as well as animals had power
to speak. To the council all the
roses came, and each had a tale to tell
of suffering and disaster. At length
It was decided to send for help to the
goldman of the tribes-the Hiawatha
of the west. Delegates were chosen
from among those who were MANNED
and torn and had suffered most. 9th
ers also were sent who were tall and
fair and graceful. Wisely this coun-
ell discerned that should justice be
denied the tribes. beauty might pre-
vail in their cause.
The conference was long and grave.
At its close an armory of thorns was
given to every rose. and thus were the
tribes of roses delivered from the en-
smies.-Circle Magazine.

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Life's Business Nearly

business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
AS the new law allows no life COM
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, IL would ap.
pear that this company is working
York Life gained such headway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
SO little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down, to the limit. rath-
er than how to reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments TO policy
holders during the six months end
ing June 80 were $21,660,761. 1t is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while DEATH
claims were $11,1S0,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu-
ities, trust fund installments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
$10,4S0,135. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, en-
braces wide field, and covers many

Mr.. Harding agreed to make the
changes, as suggested. and Chairman
l.. II. Thompson then suggested that
all adjourn to the base ball ground
and witness the closing game OF the
season in Martinsburg And they

unexpected death, therefore, comes as
a great shock to this community in
which he had spent all of his long and
useful life. 1t is noteworthy that Mr..
Doll died in accordance with his oft
expressed wish, that is suddenly and

war of the rebellion. and all during his
life was held in the highest esteem
of the entire community. He had led
a consistent Christian life, becoming
a member of the Reformed church,
of this city in the days of his early
manhood. He was for years an officer
of the church, and for many years
was secretary of the consistory of the
Reformed church, and all the early
records of the church are in Mr.. Dolls
hand writing. With the exception OF
a few times when illness prevented,
he has been a regular attendant at the,
church services and was always found
in his accustomed seat when the ser

life he was engaged in the dry goods
business and later was in the hard

was elected clerk of the, County Court

Stealing Horses Dangerous Work.

men also went to Montrose to bring
back the two horses and the sad
dies.
The man under arrest Is about So
years of age and of fairly respecta-
BILE appearance. 1t Is known that he
has been loafing In this city for some
days and had been looked upon with
suspicion by the officers. He ran .
very dangerous risk when he took
the horses into Montrose.
The officers are to be congratulate
ed on SO quickly effecting the recov-
cry of the stolen property and appre-
hending the guilty party.
There Is a strong probability that
the man under arrest had an accom-
plice. as he could hardly have eject
ed the theft alone.
There have been many horse
thefts perpetrated in western Colo
RADIO during the past year. and in a
large number OF the cases the guilty
persons have succeeded in eluding
arrest and making good their escape.
When one OF the criminals Is run
down and caught redhanded he
should be given the maximum sem
tence.
1t is believed that the man guilty
of this particular offense made HIM
self familiar with the arrangements
at the livery barn before an attempt
was made to secure the horses; and
hence. the comparative ease with
which the crime was committed.
