Poor Simison's
Lungs

Simison might have known that he
should beware OF man with gray
overcoat and little point desprit whis-
kers. But when the life insurance
agent fioated into his office, Simison
scarcely realized what he was up
against. The insurance man stretched
out Ais hand with a smile that seemed
to say: well, old pally, now I'm
going to tip 1t OFF to you how to make
that fortune you've been wanting.
Mebby 1t isn't decent of me or any.
thing"
And the stranger had way with
him. He hadn't been in the office a
minute until Simison was satisfied
In his own mind that he was there on
some errand Of mercy especially aft
er he had heard the stranger mention
the names of several prominent bust
ness acquaintaAoes who had sent him
there because they wanted to see
everybody have a chance to get along
in this vexatious old world.
The first thing Simison knew, how
ever, the visitor was running his fin
ger up and down a column of fig
ures In a small red book and inQuiring
his age.
only 31?" he repeated, when SINH
son had told him. well, we'll! Who'd
have thought you were only S1-not
that you look old, understand-but to
think that a man should rise to where
you are in the business world, and be
only 81 years old. Well, this is the
young mans age. l guess, hey? TIN
make this proposition lot cheaper
for you, too"
Now Simison, while fattered by all
this, was beginning to snifr trouble.
"This isn't life insurance proposition
you're going to spring on me, Is it,"
he inquired in tone Of apprehension.
The stranger laughed gayly. Some
might call II that" says he, "for, of
course. we offer every inducement that
is held out by the straight life insur-
,ance companies What it amounts to
with us, though is simply an excep-
tional opportunity for safe invest
ment, coupled with a scheme of COM
pulsory saving and at the same time
ample protection for your family in
case of your death.

you Bee. "''lne ratified on. the in.
terest accommodating on our tontine
policy becomes a reserve fund, which
you can draw on at the end OF 20
years. or you can apply It on paid
up policy at per cent. interest"
And thus he continued to lead the
way through maze Of technical yer.
biage about premiums and reaction.
able policies and 2O-year automatic
policies and the like until Simison's
head felt like a wrecked hektograph.
1t was too much for him. But, then,
the stranger had assumed that he was
intelligent enough to comprehend
what he was saying, and Simison saw
that he must keep up front and
make a bluff at having intelligence by
being a fluent listener.
When the visitor let up for a mo-
ment and asked him what he thought
of the proposition, the poor victim
shook his head obviously. 1T sounds
all right" he said, but then"
rs there any particular feature that
you object to?" inquired the insurance
savant quickly.
OF course Simison knew better than
to get into an argument that would
expose his poor, feeble, impeccable
brain. He FASTENED to say that he
thought the policy just outlined was
one Of the most delightful insurance
propositions he had ever met up with.
"Only," he added, I'm not In the mar
ket for such a thing to-day"
"Oh, you mean that YOU are al
ready carrying all you cant" suggested
the insurance man, and again Simison
saw how useless 1t would be to argue.
AS matter of fact he wasn't carrying
any insurance at all. But he hesltated
to admit that, for his visitor, after all
that he had just said about the great
business men there in town who were
firm believers in life insurance, would
put him down for nut sure IL he said
that he wasn't carrying any.
Still, he reflected, 1t was up to him
to wriggle out Of the mans clutches
somehow, and NO matter what objec-
tons he might make. his visitor would
have an answer that would only make
him out a bonehead.
'I've always envied these chaps that
are able to carry nice little bunch of
life insurance" he remarked, as he
blew ring OF smoke up into the chan
dAlier. Ell must be bean OF satisfac-

and the little ones are all provided for

He looked the Insurance man
squarely In the eye and blinked with
the melancholy air Of a man who has
found out what 1t is to face trouble.
Then he added "But when mans

for man to be in my fix and not

The insurance man nodded In sym

out west for a while and try to get

solicitation.

There would seem tn be no doubt
that Mr.. Taft IL not entirely acceptable
TO Wall Street has been ad opted AZ the
best man that can be obtained under
the circumstances. Wall street ex-
poets TO control Taft and has doubt
less had assurances it will do so. But a
specter arises, as the result of Repub4
lican policies, that may well make an
honest citizen stand aghast at With
er we are drifting. That well-kno VA
financler of Wall Street, Henry CLOVIS,
in speech delivered before the Man
chester Economic Club on May 10Th,
gives us an inkling of what may be
expected.
.It may surprise some TO learn that
the great power concentrated in the
Presidents hands by Congress has
made the great corporations, including
the railway companies and banking
institutions, ambitious and eager to
control the Federal government Itself /,
and they are resolutely working to
control 1t as far as they can by the
force OF capital, but AS unobtrusi sely
as possibler
"Already they are sub rosa power
full political machines. In this connec-
ton it is significant that some large
railway and banking Interests have
identified themselves with the Taft
movement
The success of the Democratic party,
therefore, is all that will prevent the
rule Of Plutncracy, and the plundering
of the people with: greater effect than
ever before. Defeat now may never be
retrieved.
With all the powerful influence of
cncentrated wealth in the hands OF
the Republicans and their alliance
with trusts and combines, II success
full at the coming election 1t will be
nigh impossible to dislodge them
hereafter.

From the Baltimore Sun.

Within the last few weeks there
have been many inquiries concerning
the rel g.ous belief of the Secretary of
War, in view of his prospective cand,-
dacy for President
There is widespread impression
that he is Roman Catholic. There
is no ground for this beliefexcept that
it was probably due to the pleasant
political relations of Secretary Taft 10
prominent members of the Catholic
Church as result of the negotiations
with the Vatican and representatives
of the church in this country in con-
nection with negotiations regarding
the friar lands question in the Philip
pines and the settlement of various
questions connected with Catholic
Church holdings in Caba.
WithR4 the last few weeks the query
editcrs OF varions newspapers have
been showered with questions suc1 as
ais Mr.. Taft a Catholic?p and what is
the religious belief of Mr.. Taftp' The
correspondent of the Sun has made il
his business to ascertain beyond doubt
just what Is the religious utilization Of
Il, e Sec etsry of War. The result was
the positive declaration that
Mr.. Taft is member of Unitarian
Church. His father and mother before
him were both Unitarians. Mrs. Taft
is / member Of the Protestant Episeo-
pal Church and worships at ST. Johns
Church, Washington. where she has a
pew. Their daughter is member of
that church.
