An insurance agent was trying to
Induce a hard man to deal with to
take out policy on his house. After
listening to him for an hour while he
painted in vivid colors the extreme
danger of fire consuming the house the
alard man to deal with said:
do you really think it likely that
my house will burn down within the
time that the policy win run?"
Certainly" replied the agent. "Have
I not been trying all this time to con.
vince you that do?"
'"Then," said the hard man to deal
with, ''why is your company SO anx,

The agent was silent and thoughtful
for a moment; then he drew the Other

An English magazine says that IL an

ing at any rate up to 1000 miles an
hour q traveller in 1t, starting west

miles an hour, would arrest the prog

1t would always be to him 10 a. m.
Should be find his unending day mo-
notonous he could reverse his direc-
ton and get a quick succession of short
days and nights Of some six hours
duration, but he could regulate the
length by the speed Of his machine.
Suppose he Travelled from London one
night at 10 o'clock westward at a
speed Of 1000 miles per hour. He
would soon experience the sensation
OF seeing the sun rising In the west

Uncle Sam and Foreign War.

MongerS of war rumOrs seize upoS |
trif1es in order to launch their specu
lations. Thus the German emperor's
recent remark, LET them come on |
we are ready" is made to serve as q
challenge to Europe. It is said that
France took the remark seriously, and
some Of her military authorities were
prompt to declare that France is ready
If the menace is meant for her. Fol
lowing the impulsive emperor's words,
one of the German experts, General,
Blume, published through the general
staff of the empire some figures as TIC
the probable cost Of a great European
war in money and in men. General
Blume takes the war between Russia
and Japan as basis and thinks that
a war between Germany and another
European power would cost that conn.
try $1,500000,00O a year as long as II
lasted. He assumes that it would be
terrific struggle and that Germany
would call to the field upward OF
100000 men.
The cost of great war to Germany
through the paralysis of commerce
General Blume figures, would be great
err than that for war expenditures by
about $1,000, 100000 annually. At least
four great powers would be involved,
he concludes, and SO the trade and in
dustry Of four leading nations would
be blighted. Ultimately the United
States would be depended upon for
the worlds storehouse, and the world
! supremacy of this power must result.
Perhaps this is a hint to the powers
not to fight and turn over the com.
merce of the earth to the one power
they all fear.
