NEW YORK. Feb. 6.-Prof. Irving

the committee OF one hundred on the
national health, in an address before
the Association OF Life Insurance Pres

By life insurance companies ia a cam

conditions throughout the United States.
He SAID the practical application of
reforms known 10 modern hygiene
would Increase hUmCn life in America
more than fifteen years. This decreased
mortality, he aaid, would so lessen the
cost Of insurance that the returns to
poucyholders would be many times
more than the original expenditure.

THE TRUTH FOR HALE An HoU


v9FN Bcss Brown recognized

" " people on that WickenbUrs
street. she darted after the
woman who was wearing it,
Half a block of she overlook her
Taking a nervous hold on the wo-
mans arm. Bess called out:
Hello. Miss Jackson.
II was the girl who had changed the
suitcase and gone of with Bess' 5000
and the note she wanted to use in evil
dence.
The woman turned and recognized her
captor. At first she tried to convice
Bess that she had made a mistake. But
that was useless, so Miss Jackson made
an effort to break away.
Bess held 20 her tightly.
I'm call a policeman in second IT

sweetheart cried, holding on with a
strength that surprised even herself.
''Weu. what do you want then?' de-
manded the other in a surly tone, look
ing around her ,neasily.
''Izwant my bag back and all that il
contained" Bess replied firmly
The other laughed shrilly.
Your bags in a gully about fifty
miles from here" she replied taunt-
ingly.
And the money!"

flashed the other.
Bess hurriedIy explained about the let
tiers that she had found in the suitcase
that Miss Jackson had carried
oh, / forgot" exclaimed Miss Jack
son, in a frightened voice.
Bess knew that she had gained a
point.
I'm going to have that money and
the note" she announced.
And if / give them up you hand
me over to the poliCe-nOt much cried
the other.
Would you rather be handed over

what are your relations with this

any and I get free for it,

"That wasn't in the bargain" Miss
Jackson responded quickly

were paid, would you?"
"NoT' the reply was final
Bess knew that she could not get
the girls statement put in evidence.
She tried another tack
would you come TO Marshall and
make this statement if / paid you
well for it2"
s'No." The second reply was as de-
cisive as the other.
"'Why not?'
The girl paused, passed her hand
over a perspiring brow and replied
slowly:
because Brander and I are friends,
I wouldn't put him in wrong for all
the money in the world
Bess knew that further argument
would be futile. She had made the
girl a proposition for half an hours
truth and the girl had lived up to heI
part Of the agreement. Bess was
powerless to urge her further.
'9Iy half hours up" announced
Miss Jackson abruptly, closing heI
watch.
"JUst one more
Bess stopped as she heard a cOmmo-
tion at the door Of the room. She
looked toward Miss Jackson. The girl
had leaned forward suddenly and was
teusely holding 10 the arm Of her
chair, her eyes fixed on the door.
In a moment two men forced their
way In.
One stepped quickly to Miss Jack
sons side and clapped a heavy hand
on her shoulder.
You're under arrest" he anuounc-
ed In a grun voice.

THE BURDEN OF PROOF

He was George Browns cousin. Also
In a week OF two I'm going to run
over to Marshall and see some Of my
ola friends. Then 1 think I'll come
home.
Tom told me Of a business venture
he had ia mind and I may be able to
make some money out of it,
[ m tired of wandering. II every
tnlng comes out all right you can ex-
long.
I've been a foolish man. mother. but
I'D going TO cut loose and square
around
Pm coming back home-if everything
comes out all right. With love,
HARVEY SNOW.
Bess did not have the time t take
up each point in the letter slowly aud
figure out just what value it would
have for her In the case, but she knew
that either Tom or George had been
mixed up with Harvey in the robbery
One things surprised her; she found
no mention of Brander. the man that
Miss Jackson had mentioned as having
written her from Dewitt.
The captain explained that the adj
dress on the letter must have been
wrong, for nothing was known Of Mrs.
Snow at the house designated on the
envelope.
The girls resolution was mistaken;
she would return TO Marshall at once.
Thanking the police officer for his
services In her behalf. Bess took her
leave and was soon aboard a train,
headed for home
Her mission had been am utter fail
ure. So far as carrying out Jim's last
wish was concerned. But that both
cred her little. Her hopes We're now inn
measurably higher than they had been
at the outset
She had, i'm a strong envelopes. Sc
cured in her waist, four interesting
documents that she hoped would be
substantial evidence in securing a par
don for Jim. They were, first. the note
signed Harvey" that she had found
in Toms room; then, the two letters
she had obtained from Miss Jackson s
bag. and fourth, the letter to Mrs. Snow
from Harvey.
She took our the two letters that
Harvey snow had written and compared
the handwriting. They were Identical
Her trip 20 Wickenburg had proved
one thing, If nothing else-that Harvey
Snow was the unidentified man in the
mOrgUe at Dewitt
she would go there at once and see If
she could remember him. In her mind
there was a picture Of how he had
looked as "A boy and she was certain
that if it were nc she would recognize
him In death, or from a photograph
taken after death by the authorities.
Now she understood why Jim had
been silent as to the identity OF the
tramp. She did not blame him for #,
but reflected how much easier It would
have besn had he let her know who his
companion in the box-car had been from
the start.
There was one other thing she must
do in Dewitt. The man Brander must
be found She had two samples Of his
handwriting and hoped TO be able to get
hold Of him through these. but Dewitt
was a big city and Bess expected TO ex-
perience great difficulty in running
down the man.
There were several breaks in her
chain Of evidence. She had only four
teen days in which to>connect the links
and lay the perfected whole before the
governor.
But that did not bother her. She was
possessed Of Hmitless spirit IT had been
her fault. she argued, that Jim had got
into all this trouble. She alone could
get him out. and she must, in spite Of
all difficulties.

N, f, Hansen.

Professor N. E. Hansen, at the
head of the horticultural department
of the South Dakota State Horticul-
tural college at Brookings, is home
again from trip to Europe and Asia
in search of more fruits, grasses and
grains suitable to the northern CHI
mate. Professor Hansen has made
large number of such journeys, at
the instance Of the Agricultural de-
partment, and each time his re-
searches have benefited agriculture
and horticulture in the northwest.
This time the professor told William
E. Curtis of the Chicago Record-Her-
aid that he had secured seed of an
alfalfa plant that will flourish as
far north as sixty-two degrees. Such
a discovery will prove of inestim-
able value to the farmers of the Da-
kotas, Montana, Minnesota and Can
ada, although Professor Hansen told
the newspaper man that the depart
ment would experiment with the new
find several years before giving it
out to the farmers.
South Dakotans, perhaps, do not
fully realize what a valuable asset
they have in Professor Hansen. In
his way, he has accomplished as
much for agriculture and horticul-
ture in the northwest as Burbank
has for horticulture in California.
He has made several trips around
the world in search of fruits and
grains that can be profitably grown
as far north as the Dakotas and
northward, and every trip has been
of benefit to the regions to which he
has devoted his attention. South Da-
kota is glad to welcome her traveller
home again, and the welcome is not
altogether unselfish, for they have
reason to hope, from past exper-
dence, that they will eventually ben
eft largely from his itrip.-Aber-

the same management. The circuit
court held against the insurance
company, and has been sustained by
the supreme court, which holds that
mere act Of reincorporation under

The American Mining congress
asks public cooperation in move
ment to save the lives of 1000 min
ers a year, and that is what it ought
to have. Our mining death rate is
the highest in the world, though it
should be the smallest, since our
mines are naturally the safest. In
1907 more than 5000 miners were
killed, and double that number SER
iously injured in the coal mines
alone. Nearly half as many we're
killed or injured in other kinds of
mines. This is an appalling record,
and one which will grow blacker as
the mines so deeper, unless some
thing is done 10 check the waste of
life. The remedy asked for by the
mining congress is not stringent leg
islation, which might prove an en-
barge upon industry, but rather
careful, painstaking and scientific
Investigation, such as is calculated to
suggest wise state laws and mining
regulations. A bill for national
bureau Of mines was passed by the
house at the last session of congress
1t hangs fire in the senate. 1t has
been endorsed by the senate COM
mittee on mines and mining, and
that it is not before the senate is
due to the fact that the chairman of
not reported it. Twenty states have
endorsed the bill. The United Mine
Workers of America have endorsed
it, The only imaginable reason why
the senate has not passed the bill
is that its calendar IS far behind, and
it does not see where it can find
time to discuss the measure. This
would be good excuse, if the bill
lid not concern the lives and limbs
of men. 1t is estimated that $50
men have lost their lives in mines
since this bill has been in the sem
ate committee. Perhaps its passage
would not have saved them all or
any of them, but it would have put
the American congress on the right
side
