ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
A GRAND OLD AVENUE.

A GRAND OLD AVENUE. On Easy street. on Easy street. That's where I'd like to be. The atmosphere of Easy street It most appeals to me. In idleness and luxury To pass my life away, So happy that I wouldn't care To ask the time of day. On Easy street. on Easy street The shadows never fall, The smiles are ever rippling round And pleasure has the call. The chumps who say they wouldn't be Content with such a lot Are full of prunes and other things And talking tommyrot On Easy street. on Easy street We never have to toll And mingle with the worlds alarms It's hustle and turmoil. The hours fit on gold wings And trouble fades away, And every day on Easy street. Is like a holiday

 WHAT'S THE USE? Of all the cranky people Who dwell upon the earth, The cranl1iest of all are those Who haven't time for mirth. They're so extremely busy, They don't know how to smile, And when it comes to happiness, It isn't in their style. They frown at cheerful persons And with a wagging head Ask, How can you be merry friend. When you will soon be dead?" Forgetting, gloomy croalIers, That since we have to die And don't know when we'll get the call, It does no good to sigh.

Two Suits to Collect Insurance

Suits were filed Wednesday at Louis
vile which have considerable bearing
on the question of the attitude of
fire inrsuance companies toward paying
losses on risks caused by night rider
forays in Kentucky. They were insti-
tuted by A. r. Robertson and the
Louisville Tobacco Warehouse Company
aginst the Dixie Fire Insurance Com
pany and against the Globe and Rut-
gers Fire Insurance Company, for
81, 0G0 in each suit.
1t is alleged that on January l,
1908. by the depredations of night
riders at Bethel. in Bath county, KY,
a Warehouse and its contents, in which
the plaintiffs were interested jointly
as dealer and warehouse handler, were
destroyed. The plaintiffs set up the
claim that the companies named as de-
PENDANTS declined to pay the risks. as
the warehouses were burned by night
riders.

The State Board of Equalization
has practically completed its work and
will soon have its report ready for
the Governor.
The figures have not been totaled up
and balanced as yet, but it is certain
that there will be a considerable raise
in assessments in the State as whole.
The State Board has made raises in
about half the counties and has made
reductions in only few. 1t is prob
able that the work of the board will
mean that the State will derive in
creased revenue this year.
1t was announced Tuesday night Dy
the State Board of Valuation and As
sessments that all banking institu-
tions will be taxed on basis of sc
per cent. of their capital, surplus anC
undivided profits, instead of on basis
of 100 per cent, as at present. This
decision was reached largely through
Frank James, who, being a banker
himself, has investigated closely the
question of assessment of banks anC
reached the conclusion that the present
plan is not good for the banks. Sever.
al suits are now pending involving the
question Of assessments of the banks.

fair idea of the amount of tobacco that
will be raised east of Louisville this
year. The number of plant beds sown
is so small in some of the counties that
have been reported that it is hardly
worth noting.
If there were not fight on between

crop in the Burley district would be
regarded an absolute failure. None of

will raise any tobacco at all. The fol-
lowing counties have made reports of
the plant beds sown:
Anderson, per cent; Bath, no plant
beds sown; Boone, per cent; Bour-

The New Shamrock.

Sir Thomas Liptons new racing
yacht Shamrock has been successfully
launched and is now being fitted out
in the Solent for the seasons COM
petitions. She is longer than last
years champion, White Heather, and
is a good deal fuller in the midship
section class. More striking, still,
however, is the manner in which the
lines of the yacht are stretched out.
Instead of the comparatively short,
rounded ends of White Heather-a de-
velopment which was probably caused
by the operation Of the new rule Of rat
ing-ShamrOck is drawn out in long,
graceful overhangs. The modelling
of the counter is particularly hand
some. The beam is carried aft well
into the counter, and, as this is bal
anced with good and fairly full Shout
ders, it is apparent that this vessel
will have at least one of the elements
which helped Reliance to success
i. e., a long sailing side when hard
driven, although it goes practically I'M
taxed in the measurement. The free
board looks more than was expected,
but the unfamiliar appearance of the
green top sides with the white boot
top under may make this something
of an optical delusion. At all events,
there is no bulwark to increase the
height of topside, the only foothold
for the crew being a light rail set
well in on the deck. From the out
ward appearance, the yacht is in all
respects a racer of the thoroughbred
type, and should give a good account
vessels in the big class.

Claim TO a Title.
Audubon

,
The slang phrase, "a good mixer"
has peculiar meaning when applied
to man. 1t seems never to have
been used as descriptive of women.
But why not? Some women might
wear the title with distinction, al
though in a little different sense.
For generations women have been en-
gagged in mixing" reluctant elements.
Flour and butter in their hands have
combined into flaky biscuit; and I'M
congenial cousins have made up an
agreeable family party. A woman at
the head of a large household has
need to be good mixer, says the
Youths Companion. She may have
three generations under her roof and
dependent upon her care. With the
children she must be as child; with
the grandmother she must see the
wisdom of age, even beneath its
feebleness; for the willful son she
must mingle ready sympathy and firm
control. Woman's service in village
or church is often that of welding to-
gether obstinate and diverse elements.
For there must be no Democrats or
Republicans, no Methodists or Cath
olics, when she has in hand some
measure for the common good. The
shade trees in a certain village are a
growing memorial to a certain woman
who got the Second Adventists and
the Congregationalists together, and
set them in pairs to digging the same
holes, instead Of working on oppo-
site sides of the street. She was a
good mixer herself, and, like all OF
that brotherhood, she was the cause
that good mixing should be in others.
In this world of strife and misunder-
standings and petty frictions, the
rarest and dearest of her sex is the
woman who goes her way-a smile on
her lips and a gently persuasive spoon
in Misunderstanding and mingling con-
trary tastes and dispositions and am
billions, and adding to the combina-
ton that subtle one-knows-not-what Of
personality which is the browning
grace of a good mixer.

Need Fire Marshal

Des Moines insurance men are de-

marshal shall not be abolished and
they will present to the city council
a petition protesting against the con-
templated adjustment of the office.
signed by every fire insurance man in
the city. The insurance men have
been discussing this matter ever since
it was stated that the Office would
be abolished and a petition was pre-
pared and the work of securing sigma
lures begun. Within a half hour sig
natures had been secured represent
ing nearly fifty companies and the re-
mainde will be secured soon. This
is merely matter of a little time
as all the fire companies and agents
in the city have agreed to sign and
the petition will go to the council.

instructions to Shippers.

Secretary G. A. Wrightman of the
Iowa State Manufacturers associa-
ton is preparing copy for a PAM
phlet to be sent to all shippers and
manufacturers in the state dealing
with the subject of freight claims.
The opening paragraph states:
THE first thing to know about
is, that you do not have to stand any
loss, damage, delay or overcharge
caused by the railroads on things you
ship out or on things you ship in.
This is so, not only for your benefit,
but for the general welfare of the
country and for the good of the rail-
roads themselves"
The main points of the law on such
matters are stated concisely and the
proper method of presenting and
handling claims is explained and H.
Illustrated, together with a description
and explanation of the different pa
pers used in the handling of freight
traffic of all kinds.
