THE MATTER OF FIRE INSURANCE.
BY F. W. Fitzpatrick

Since 1860 We have paid in insurance pre-
mums S3,G22 100000, or just in the last ten
years, Sl,61O $4,000. In 1905 we carried into
the insurance companies, over S106,0OO,00O in
premiums and got backin paid losses the sum
of $9JO00,00O, which was supposed to console
us for the loss Of about $1S0,0OOOOO in smoke
and fully that much more for fire departments
and other alleged protection" San Fran

Ours is world in which the clerk suffers in the nan-
cal failure of his employer; where the oicehoder is
ruined by the political mistakes of the party leader
where the child is destroyed by the sins of the father
Employers sometimes suffer grieyously by reason OF
economic events which they have control some
citizen suffers through the sensational press
sometimes the author editor suffers through cruel
criticism over for whose evil consequences he is
In wise responsible. This problem OF unjust judS-
ment and this bearing of injustice in silence is one of
the hardest problems that experiences. Injustice

The need Of the hour IS for justice and truth in judg

prophet part gold and part clay, but the
proportion Of gold is more and the clay is less

Jealousy and hate There is too much good in the
worst and too much bad in the best men to leave
any place for injustice harshness cruelty.

ICED OF THE HOUR.
By Rev. Newell Dwight Hills

Among the dark problems of life
we must make place for the injus-
tice that noble men sometimes suf-
fer. Long ago Jerusalem crucilied
its Saviour. Athens poisoned its mas
ter, Florence burned its hero, but to-
day every town and village holds at
least one martyr to cruel and unjust
judgments.

tablecloths and she stated in the be-

new"
The salesman was patient and
showed her everything in stock, but
nothing suited.
"Oh, dear!" she exclaimed, fussily,
haven't you anything different?"
The clerk brought out one of the
discarded tablecloths that he had put
back on the shelf, and said with an
air of interest:
Here is one of the very newest de-

NO STAIN ON HIS RECORD.
That's Where the Driver Had the Best
of the Preacher.

A New York clergyman, who often
spends his vacation in fishing the
streams of the Adirondacks, was on
one trip adopted by handsome set
ter dog, which insisted on following
him from camp to camp, as he moved
along the stream.
One day he met a party of men
working upstream with a native guide.
The guide Immediately recognized the
dog as his own property.
Trying to steal my setter, are
you?" he shouted at the clergyman
I'll have you to Jail for this! There's
law in the woods just as big as you
have in the city"
The clergyman endeavored to ex-
plain that he was an unwilling COM
panion Of the dog, which had refused
to be driven away, but to little effect
until he added two-dollar bill to his
arguments.
Its queer what strange things hap
pen to man up here" he said to the
stage-driver who later carried him
away from the woods THAT is the
first time I was ever accused of steal
ing a dog"
Yes, sir" replied the driver, SYM
pathetically, and added. after mo-
ment's pause, For myself, sir, l have
never been accused of stealing any
thing. YOUTHS Companion.

Which Of these people are rights
Is 1t more proper to call Peruna ca.
tarrh remedy than to call it tonic2
Our reply is, that Peruna is both
tonic and catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectual catarrh rem
edy that is not also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any

en- the circulation, to give tone to the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writer's as HYDRASTIS

upon the medical profession. When
joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a
trio of medical agents is formed in Pc.
runa which constitutes specific rem
edy for catarrh that in the present
state of medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, rein
forced by such renowned tonics as

YDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its
stages and locations in the body.
From theoretical standpoint, there
fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The
use of Peruna, confirms this opinion.
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter Of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this Judgment is not
over enthusiastic. When practical ex-
perience confirms a well-grounded the
DRY the result is truth that cannot be
shaken.
