Hints to Tinsters.

Gadd-Whenever one of the big mag
mates says to buy stocks 1 always sell.
That's the way to fool 'em. Cadd-I
don't. When they say to buy I always
buy. Gadd-But don't you know they
never express their private opinions in
public? They always say just the op-
posite of what they think. Cadd-No;
you're a back number. They're on to
that scheme. When they say to buy
they know you will think they believe
it is really time to sell. So now they
say just the opposite of what they ex-
pect to do. They say the right thing
because you will think it is the wrong
thing. BY the way, Gadd, did you ever
make any money In stocks? Gadd-No
Cadd-Neither did I. -Lippincott's Mag

Jury Was Out Nearly All of Wednes

at Verdict.

Great interest was shown by Bos-

the outcome of the Sarles damage
suit against the Chicago, Milwau

nesdaY evening during the night
the jury returned verdict in
favor of the plaintiff, Mrs. Emma
S. Sarles, the damages awarded her
being $4,250.
AS was stated before the case was
an interesting one. The railroad
company admitted that the train
was running over the speed limit
when the accident occurred, but did
not admit that it was. IN advance OF
the scheduled time. Their attorneys
stated that, there was no scheduled
time for the arrival but that the
train could enter the station any
time before it was scheduled to leave.
They also based their defense on the
claim that Frank B. Sarles did not
use proper precautions and that he
tried to drive over the crossing In
advance of the train, thus engaging
as Atty. Vroman expressed it lin
a race with DEATH"
The plaintiff claimed that it was
impossible for Mr. Sarles to know
how close the train was to the eros
sing and that ne had plenty of time
to cross the track according to the
scheduled time of the train.

FIRE INSURANCE TAXES.
Some Companies in the State Said to be
Evading Them.

According to Insurance Commits
sioner Beedle it has been found that
fire insurance companies in the
state, principally in Milwaukee,
have been rendering inaccurate re-
ports to the department. in the past
three years will lead at once to an
investigation. which may bring at
least SIS, 900 into the state treasury
The discovery was made several
days ago in examining the reports
of fire companies for taxes to be
paid on business in 1907. AS soon
as the notice of the companies was
directed to the error they have re-
mitted the additional amount due in
1907.
But the problem has been pushed
beyond this years business and
similar mistakes have been dis
covered in the reports for 1905 and
1906.
The law provides that fire in
surance companies, authorized to
do business IN the state must pay
tax of 4 per cent on the amount
of the gross premiums received
during the preceding year in this
state" From this gross amount
shall be deducted the amount paid
to any authorized company for the
reinsurance of risks locate d in this
state. 1t has been found that some
of the companies had reinsured In
other companies not authorized.

bench in the case of James Conway
and Thomas Williams, two young men
charged with stealing some gratings
belonging to the city from a lot at
Main and Mission streets. Garland ac-
cused Shortan of favoring the defend
ants and expressed a lack of conf
dence in his methods. Shortall in turn,
threatened to send Garland to Jail
for contempt of court. Garland stated
after court that he was considering
bringing the matter to the attention Of
the grand jury, for he claims that
Shortall is derelict in his duty and is
too lenient. having on other occasions
dismissed complaints brought by the
board of works.
According to the defense Conway and
Williams were told by an employe of
the board of works that they might
take the iron. They proved that they
had never been in trouble before and
under those circumstances ShortalI
stated that he would not brand them
