might have been alive today.
She was a beautiful girl. Her
mother was q negress, her father o

lived among the blacks Of Virginia
and did not claim to be other than

fair skin. "a schoolmate told her that
she could pass as a Caucasian. Then
1t was that she despised her ancestry,
and denied her parentage. She re-
moved to Chicago, to be away from
the old NANNY. who, toiling as q
seamstress had given her an educa-
ton that few white girls boast of.
She obtained a position as a steno-
grapher. Her great beauty attracted
admirers. She moved in exclusive
white society, and was received glad
ly into the best homes.
The old black mother, her heart
breaking at the separation, took up
her residence IN Chicago, and watch

Evidently the business men do not
place the same confidence in Mr..
Bryan as do the democratic polite
ians.
In another column we print a dis
patch to the effect that they are insur-
ing their business against his election.
They feel that If he is victorious they
will suffer irreparable damage, and
hence, against the event of his cleo:
tion,, a number of them have taken
policies in Lloyds of London, just the
same as a man might insure his
family in the event OF his death, or
his place of business in the case Of
fire. Lloyds will issue almost any
kind If insurance. The rates are high,
perhaps, but they are based entirely
on the risk assumed.
In this case it is interesting to note
what chance Mr.. Bryan has Of cleo
ton, when the proposition is reduced
to a matter of business, based on the
rates charged.
For a sum equal to 1O3k per cent Of
the amount Of insurance asked, the
policy Is issued. This, from a busi-
ness stand point. reduced to the vo-
cabulary Of the betting ring, makes
the odds 5A to / against the election
of the Nebraskan.
These estimates are worked out Of
the figures Of past elections, and are
not given al the result Of an opinion.
Lloyds make q business Of insurance,
carries greater risks, and more Of
them, perhaps, than any other concern
in the world. s
These New York men who took the
insurance e afraid-they thought
It possible that Bryan might be elect
ed. and II so. they saw the prosperity
of the country going to smash In the
adoption Of his policies. To start their
factories in the face Of such q con-
tingency, was a risk they did not dare
to assume. Then it occurred to them
to insure against such a disaster. The
premium paid, they proceeded to put
on a full force of men and started to
work. If Taft is elected, they are out
the amoun Of their premium-if
Bryan is successful at the polls next
November, they will receive 100000
in gold, to reimburse them for the loss
the election may entail upon them.
When men, in a business transac-
ton, will take insurance Of the char
acter mentioned, for the rates named,
investigation must have convinced
them that Bryan has about as much
chance OF election as a SNOWFALL in a
certain unpopular place.
