ed to be coming united. 1t was almost
incredible that this girl should be own
sister to his dainty Hazel, and yet
better an unattractive hoyden than
heartless coquette.
Hazel will be sorry to have missed
you. l can't think what can have kept
her"
Young Harrington laughed, the short,
cynical laugh of dislllusioned twenty
three.
In his ears rang the warning Of a
man quite two years older than him
self.
"Don't you get let in for making
fool of yourself over that girl. Very
pretty. very charming, but she's an alb
solutely hardened filrt! I'll tell you
the kind of thing she'll do-encourage
a fellow up to the top Of his bent, say
he may call. fix day even, and then,
when he turns up she's out, II you
please, and he's left to have TEA with
that leggy tomboy Of a sister"
Young Harrington had not been IN
pleased with this report.
Morton, the fellow" In question, was
scarcely man one would wish "encour-
aged" by Hazel; he had probably
brought the significant slight upon him
self. But Ted Harrington, without un-
due conceit, had hoped for very
different sort Of reception.

What Japan May Teach.

japan. alone among nations, has
given the world an example of how a
people can throw off the shackles OF
an oppressive autocracy and endow
itself with all the safeguards of liberty
and justice under a constitutional form
of government, without going through
the terrible struggles and devastation
of bloody revolutions, by following
along the paths of peaceful evolution.
Japan is the land of liberty, civil and
religious. Her religious liberty is
even far in advance of nations who
pride themselves upon this most pre-
cious of national virtues. Her people
have no prejudices based upon reli'
gious or ecclesiastical grounds, and all
men of every church and creed are
free and equal to worship their God
in accordance with the dictates OF
their own conscience in the fullest and
widest acceptation of the meaning
of religious liberty. Japan, which has
learned much from the west, has even
more to teach the west, declares Os-
car Straus, secretary of commerce and
labor, in Leslie's. Persistency, self
control and preparedness are among
her national qualities; her officers ex-
emplify the highest skill united with
the utmost patriotism; her soldiers,
while reckless in their bravery In sac
rifcing their w lives, are uniformly
humane even to their enemies, and no
nation is served by a more competent
diplomatic body-men Of reliability,
judgment and moderation.

INSURANCE INVESTMENTS.
How One Company's Assets Are Dis
trihuted In the South and West.

In connection with its withdrawal
from Texas, along with many other
companies, rather than to submit to
the new law which requires that 1919
of the reserves on Texas policies shall
be invested in securities Of that state,
which securities shall be deposited in
the state and subjected to heavy taxa
ton, in addition to the large tax now
imposed on life insurance premiums,
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
has made public the distribution OF its
assets, at the end of the second year
of the new management. The Equit-
able now has &c. 58, 900 invested in
Texas, which is twice as much as the
new law requires, but the manage
ment decided that to submit to the
additional taxation would be an injus-
tice to its policyholders in other
states, which impose no such penalty
on the thrift of their citizens.
The Equitable's report shows that
more than 1870 of its total reserves
are now invested in the southern and
western states, while only $3.50 Of it's
total insurance is carried in these
states. It's investments are distributed
as follows: Ala, 5000. 900; Ariz,

on the part of it's officers or employees

is enjoined upon all connected with

mote the use of postal money orders

Postmaster General Meyer will rec

the introduction of postal notes for
sums not exceeding $3.50, or perhaps
$500, which may be issued without
the filing of a written application
or the sending of an advice, and be
obtainable, not only at all money or
der post Offices, but at many of the
smaller post offices, where it may not
be feasible to issue money orders.

The immigration Commission.

A commission which recently sailed
for Europe is now and for a consider
able part of the summer will be, en-
gagged in making the most exhaustive
study of the whole matter of immigra-
ton that the United States has ever
undertaken. The commission, author
lied by the immigration bill passed by
the last congress, consists OF ire
senators, three members of the house
of representatives, and three citizens
appointed by the president. Begin
ming with Italy, they will visit all the
principal points of departure in Eu-
rope. Special study will be given to
the emigration laws of all the Euro
pean countries, the methods OF exam
lining emigrants before embarkation,
the character and occupations of the
regions from which the larger num-
Der of people come to America, and
all the other matters which may serve
to improve the handling of the immi-
grafton problem at the present time,
and to furnish a basis for intelligent
legislation in the future. In the mat
ter of the admission of diseased or in
digent aliens, there is even now little
ground for complaint, says Youths
Companion. The present laws are
efficient, and on the whole well en-
forced. The great need is the devel-
opment of a system by which the
steady and notwithstanding stream
may be directed, not to the crowded
centers which it naturally seeks, but
to those arid fields which it will fer
tilize and fructify. For this, accurate
irst-hand knowledge, such as the COM
mission will attempt to gather, Is In
dispensable.

parlor, and gnaw at the collins in the
undertakers' warehouses. They eat
away the chair that we rest in to-day
and the piano sounding forth the
sweetest melodies is in the death
grapple of the powder post beetles.
The treatment for the pest, SO far as
studied out, consists in destroying by
fire. A piece of lumber may be affect
in one end only. Saw that end on
and burn it is the cure. The beetle
has been killed in valuable pieces OF
lumber by putting the material in a
close room and subjecting the luna
Der to as hot a steam bath as posi-

sist in kHning the lumber and giving
it as much dry heat as possible.

WALL STREET CALLS HALT.
Republican Trust Busting Ends In
Smoke.

The late conference at the White
House of the president, cabinet and
members of the interstate commerce
commission to consider If Mr.. Harri-
man could be successfully prosecuted
for conspiracy in restraint OF trade,
decided that he could be prosecuted
under the civil section of the law, but
not under the criminal section. This,
Of course, means that Mr.. Hartman
will escape prosecution personally
and the government will proceed
against the railroads known as the
Hartman combination, which, it will
be claimed, were operated under con-
tracts that were unreasonable re-
straints of interstate trade"
This decision of the president and
cabinet would seem to hardly justify
the declaration of President Roose-
welt that MI. Hartman was such an
undesirable citizen" any more than
the head of any other railroad COM
bination.
The upshot of the conference seems
to be to relieve the president of the
odium of forcing the prosecution OF
either Mr.. Hartman or his railrsad
combine and to postpone action by
turning the whole matter over t. the
interstate commission and
the attorney general.
1t is limited that some of the presi-
dents advisers were Of the opinion
that it would be unwise in the face OF
the disturbed conditions in Wall
street and the money market condi-
tons generally to begin proceedings
which would necessarily lead to pyes-
ecutions against other railroad cor
porations which had also combined
in restraint Of trade.
Although present bosses OF the Re
publican party aspire to be known as
the real thing in trust and combine
busting, it is seer how easily they
postpone action when Wall street
calls a halt. All their buster has
not reduced an unreasonable railroad
rate nor compelled a trust to forego
its plundering, although the people
are more than ever suffering from
high railroad rates and the increasing
cost Of living though trust high

The noise of the train drowned his

unfeeling as to call his attention to the
fact that the water was only four feet
