Surety
Company
~ I1nssy Vnrl.
OF netU York

Is the largest Company in the
world whose sole business It IS
to furnish Surstyship Bonds.
It does not engage in bank
or trust business, but limits all
Its operations to the broad field
of Sssretyshir.
This limitation, with its
large capital and surplus OF
SIS, 100000, makes its sigma
ture on a bond far stronger
than any PERSONAL security that
can be offered.
The fact that the American
Bankers Association have
selected this Company as the
sole guafantor Of the money
orders now being issued on
their form, shows It's standing
with the leading Gnanciers Of
the country.

probate or license bond, applyto

COMEDY IN A CEMETERY.
Old Chestnut Seller Of Gsnoa and Her

It does not seem possible that one
could run across comedy In such a
solemn place as cemetery, yet there
Is, so the optimist assures us, little
comedy in every situation. Surely in
-. the romance of the old chestnut seller
Of Genoa and the chagrin Of her for
tune hunting spouse, both Of whom
figure in the local gossip and one Of
whom is immortalized in marble in
the Campo Santo, one must admit that
the situation is not without its lighter
side. The most serious minded smile
! as they read the inscription which the
shrewd old lady commanded the sculp-
tor to chisel on her tomb. -.
Not so many years ago, 50 the story
runs, one of the best known figures in
the streets Of Genoa was that of an old
woman who made living selling
chestnuts. She was without beauty,
but was gifted with quality which no
doubt stood her in better stead-a ma
tive shrewdness which enabled her to
buy her wares prudently and to sell
them with profit. It does not require
q large income to live in Genoa, espe-
cially when one has not acquired ex-
travagant tastes, so gradually the for
tune of the worthy toiler grew and
finally became large enough to be talk

sought the chestnut merchant and
made straight for her heart, which was
not long In responding. The subse-
quent marriage of the pair caused the
knowing ones to smile.
After a short honeymoon it was
brought to the notice of interested
neighbors that the young husband was
in search Of work. His elderly bride
disclaimed all knowledge Of the rumor-
ed fortune and said that as she was
almost without a penny. she expected
that he, too, would put his shoulder to
the wheel. Between them a comforta-
bic home might be supported and an
occasional evening at the theater might
be enjoyed. Not even yet having given
up hope that the fortune would one
day appear, the young husband led for
a time an exemplary life, but finally
patience gave place to encouragement
and loves young dream was shattered.
Several years later the deserted wife
died, and, like mushroom in the
night, sprang up in conspicuous place
in the Campo Santo handsome mOnu-
ment representing, aside from the plot
which it occupied, snug fortune. The
marble statue, Of life size, represents |

there should be doubt about the his

The most ancient method OF making

Holes are made In the ground, dry
straw is put ut the bottom OF these,
and on II at the close Of the day are
placed pans Of water which are left
until the next morning, when the ice
that is found within the pans is col
lected. This Industry Is carried on
only In districts where the ground Is
dry and will readily absorb the yapor
given Off from the water In the pans
The freezing. Of course, is due to the
great amount OF heat absorbed by the
vapor IN passing from It's liquid TO it's
gaseous form.
