the park had an air of added space.
The suggested loneliness affected him.
The tall trees, still bereft Of leaves, and
the colossal gateway incomprehensively
stirred the sense Of mental panic that
sometimes seized him in face Of vast
ness Of space or of architecture. In one
moment Lillian, the appointment he

Reaching the ground, he paused for
a moment and raised his hat; then,
without second glance, he turned
and walked rapidly away.
Lillian sat watching him meditative-

gateway, saw him hail Il hanson; then
she remembered the waiting chauffeur.

SAVING Banks Life Insurance?

Savings banks established on the
plan prevailing in New York
and in Massachusetts, are man
aged upon principles and under
conditions upon which alone salts
factory system of life insurance for
worKingmen can be established. These
savings banks have no stockholders,
being operated solely for the benefit
of the depositors. They are managed
by trustees, usually men of large bus
mess experience and high character,
who serve without pay, recognizing
that the business of collecting and
investing the savings of persons of
small means is a quasi public trust
which should be conducted as ben
Efficient and not as money making
institution. The trustees, the officers
and the employees of the savings banks
have been trained in the administra-
ton of these savings to the practice
of the strictest economy. While the
expenses of managing the industrial
departments of the Metropolitan, the
Prudential and tine John Hancock
companies have excluding taxes, ex-
ceeded 40 per cent of the years prem
iums, the 1862, 100000 of deposits held
in 1905 in the 1879 Massac husetts saw
ings banks were managed at an ex-
pense of 0.23 of / per cent of the aver
age assets, or 1.36 per cent of the
years deposits.
Savings institutions so managed Of
fer adequate means of providing in
surance to the workingman- With a
slight enlargement of their powers,
these savings banks can, at a mini
mum of expense, fill the great need of
cheaper life insurance in small
amounts. The only proper elements of
the Observation-Disclosures business not
common to the savings bank business
are simple. and can be supplied at
small expense in connection with such
existing savings banks. They are:
A. Fixing the terms on which in
surance shall be given.
B. The initial medical examination.
c. Verifying the proof of death.
The first is the work of an insurance
actuary, and the present pro rata cost
of actuarial service can be greatly re-
duced both by limiting the forms of
insurance policies to two or three
standard forms Of policy to be uniform
turnout the state, and by providing for
the appointment of state actuary,
who, in connection with the insurance
commissioners, shall serve all the saw
insurance banks. The Initial med
ical examination and the verifcation Of
proof of death are services that may
be readily performed for the savings
banks at no greater pro rata expense
than for the existing insurance COM
ranies. But state medical director
should act as adviser and have su-
i,t rvision of the local physicians. =

Minneapolis, April 1.--Forty thous-
and sacks of flour for shipment to the
famine sufferers CT China were sold in
Minneapolis.
Louis IlIopsch. of New York, editor
and proprietor of the Christian Herald,
whose work in behalf of the sufferers
in China has been continuous since
first the reports Of great suffering be-
gan to come, sent the order here,
The selling company will load the -four
promptly and rush 1t forward to San
Francisco.
Mr.. Klopsch, thru the medium Of the
Christian Herald, first sent out an APP
peal to the people of the United States.
BY reason of close acquaintance with
the many American missionaries in
China, he was more thoroughly in
formed of actual conditions and the
terrible suffering existing. He secured
the cooperation of the daily press,
which gave wide publicity to the work
of the relief committee, and funds
came in promptly.
The big railroad men Of the country
were then appealed to. Marvin
Hughitt of the Chicago & Northwest
ern. said that his road would carry the
flour free OF charge. and f. H. Harri-
man promised as much for the Union
Pacific. Mr.. Klopsch next directed his
efforts upon Washington and succeeded
in getting the war department to as
sign to the United States transport
Buford the duty of carrying the -four
from San Francisco to Shanghai
Having thus disposed Of the trans
portation problem, and having, thru
the generosity OF these railroad men
and the government officials eliminated
the considerable item of expense for
carriage. Mr.. Klopsch next gave his
attention to purchasing the -four.
Pressure was brought upon him from
many sides, but after consulting with
men familiar with the various phases
of the question it was the decision that
instead of purchasing the cheaper
grades OF flour it would be the truest
economy to expend the money for that
product of highest grade.

5 Oddly in the News
Is N a stradivarius?

st. Paul-Is there Stradivar1us
violin in st. Paul? That is the CUES
ton that is agitating the music deal
ers and VIOLA experts of the Twin Cit
les.
Ted F'yhrie, of 1145 Bradley avenue,
st. Paul, has in his possession an IN
strument which by some experts is
deemed a genuine "Strad,' while others
are doubtful. The way in which TED
came by it seems to confirm the sus-
picion that 1t might be stradivarius,
Ted is II years old and is employed
at the Twin City Printing company, st.
Paul. Being a lover of music he longed
for violin, but his financial circum-
stances We're such that he could not
buy one. He is a great favorite with
the employees in the press room and each
one of them contributed small sum
toward purchasing violin for Ted on
his birthday
The collection amounted to So, and
with that two of the boys in the shop
went over to secondhand store and
purchased the instrument one day last
week 1t was old and the varnish had
been worn OF, and the former owner, to
all appearances, had used it rather
\
The boy was overjoyed with the gift
and immediately proceeded to one OF
the down ttwn music stores to have 1t
repaired.
The clerk in the music store took the
violin and fell to scrutinizfng 1t closely.
Ted at first thought that something
was wrong with the violin, but the man
questioned 1im as to where he got it.
He told the clerk innocently enough
how ne CAME by 1t.
The clerk somewhat nervously Of
fered $50 for it. The lad was frightened
and hesitated. The clerk, MISLEADING
his silence, raised the offer to $780, then
called the manager, who bid $500. BY
this time the expression on Ted's face
was a sight to behold. The manager of
the store Informed him that he was the
owner of one of the most valuable In
struments in existence today-a gem
uine Stradavarius!
Ted refused the proffered money and
returned home in possible haste.
The secondhand dealer of whom it
was bought claims that not long ago
the old violin was brought in and with
$40 to boo. was given in exchange for
a better appearing instrument.
Dealers in violins are astounded,
They are losing no time in going to
view the valuable instrument which is
now at the home of Ted's parents.
Ted, with his older brother, T. e.
F'yhrie, have been visiting several of
the music stores in order to prove be-
You'd a d.,ubt that the instrument is
genuine.
Mr.. Rhone, the violin expert with w.
| j. Dyer & Co, claims that it is one OF
the excellent limitations that are found
from time to time, but Mr.. Robinson,
a violin maker, of Third and Cedar
streets, ST, Paul, who is thought to be
the best authority in the Twin Cities.
There icing at most only seven
sstradivarius instruments in the world.
according to certain dealers, this one
has made quite a still. The value OF it
is inestimnble, and Minneapolis deal
er offered $4,000 for it.

A little to one side of the Squaw a gun spoke-xight into their midst. A brave screamed, catching at his thigh. The others wavered and fell back be- yond rife reach. taking him with them.

 Behind the chief came cries of de- rision and execration. Behind the out cast came voice. clear and steady, Careful, Charley. careful"
 To and fro the contestants were stealing noiselessly, on the alert, each striving to get the other in favorable light.
 A minute, another-then Standing Buffalo bent his knees, drew and shot. But the arrow veered trifle from its intended course.
 The Squaw drew. The cord sang. The shaft whistled to it's mark.
 It drove the chief backward few paces like a wounded buck. Then stopping himself with effort, he lurch- ed forward again. AS he came he raised his bow and sent a second ar row that cut the bushes on the canyon side.
 The shaft was his last. His face went suddenly livid. his eyeballs start ed. Driveling, he clutched at the air, tipped down to his hands, touched, let go his weapon, half rose, pivoted on a heel and slipped in heap to the stones.
 A wordless cry broke from the lips of The Squaw. He sped across the coulee bottom to the side of the dead chief. There he struck the fallen man a blow upon the bare knee, snatched from his head an eagle feather, daubed it across the flowing wound and thrust 1t, dripping red, into his own hair.
 Then, as he had not done in years, he strengthened. Then he cast from him the foul rags of his squaw's dress. And in clout and the colors of death he stood forth--a warrior.
