In nearly every large city efforts have been made from time to time to break up the system of lending money on salaries, at exorbitant interest rates, because of the obvious injustice the practice has worked in many in- stances.
 The Washington senate has passed bill introduced by Senator Cotterill, which is designed to minimize the evil in that state. The bill prohibits the assignment of future wages, ii the sum is under S300 unless the borrow er's employer accepts the assignment in writing. If the assignment is not thus accepted, the loan agents claim cannot be enforced The bill also pro- vides that the wages of married man cannot be assigned without the " fife s consent.
 The object of the law is to protect the small borrower. Small loans in such cases are often of long life some men with small wage income often find it almost impossible to get out of the loan sharks clutches.
 If the CotteriIl bill vii restrict these operations, it will no doubt do much good.

An Old Soldier has this to say oi what he saw and heard of Abraham Lincoln during the war time
 On Sunday afternoon in the autumn of 1864, we were resting on rail fence on the road to the Soldiers Home, in the District of Columbia. I'm ee boys, about nine or ten years of age, with sticks and stones, were endeavor to knock down nuts from several small hickory trees, with very little success. A gentleman rode slowly up, stopped his carriage and said: Boys, give me stick and let me help you" A long stick was procured and handed to him he arose in his carriage and knocked quite number of nuts, while the boys kept up a constant chatter Of, there's some more mister, here's lots more", etc. The gentleman con- tinued to beat the branches of the trees for fully ten minutes, then finally said : ''There boys that is all can reach. " The boys were noisy and -profuse in their thanks. The gentleman laughed heartily and drove on toward the home. This indicated in that gen. tleman surprising degree of kind ness and simplicity of mind and heart. The writer well knew him to be A bra- ham Lincoln, the President of the United States, whose mind and soul were then surcharged and overweight ed with the conducting of the war Of the rebellion.

Health and Profits,

Prof Irving Fisher of Yale has been
suggesting 70 the life insurance com
panies that they establish a depart
ment Of health as a means of pro
longing the life of their policy holders
and thus of increasing their own
profits.
But there is danger in such a propo-
sition Besides being an unwarranted
interference with personal liberty, they
might eventually bring about such a
condition Of health as to remove all
that fear of death which constitutes
the chief urge of life insurance.
II would be much better if the life
insurance companies could invent a
portable And well.disciplined disease
which the agents could carry around
with them but not use until the pros
pective victim absolutely refused to
yield to the ordinary Establishments.
The disease should be so constructed
that il could readily be withdrawn as
soon as the victim capitulated
