LOTTERY SCHEMES
IN INSURANCE GUISE
Superintendent Drake Scores
Practices of Certain Fra
ternal Associations.

That under tho present District IN
surance laws alleged fraternal beneht
associations are able 10 adopt schemes
OF insurance which are nothing more
than lotteries for those who are induced
to purchase policies, and that the policy
holders seldom realize any money. Is the
statement made by Thomas Y. Drake.
superintendent OF insurance, in his an
nuaI report submitted 80 the Commits
sioners today.
AS a remedy for these conditions Mr..
Drake urges the enactment of law
creating a commission to draft insurance
laws for the District. This recommends

Games of Chance.
For the last few years." says Mr.
Drake. there has been marked and
increasing tendency on the part of a
certain class OF established life. acct
dent, and alleged fraternaI beneficial
associations to adopt schemes that are
merely games of chance. The very
nature of the business makes it easy for
interruptions SOLICITORS 20 mislead the
public and induce thousands of persons
to take policies with the expectation
Of receiving enormous profits in addi-
ton to their insurance.
The continuation Of this kind Of
business. even for a short time. depends
upon a constant and rapidly increasing
membership. while the profits to the
| persistent members depend upon the
misfortune Of others who are either
unable or unwilling to continue until
| the distribution period.
1T may be true that in some instances
| for a short time the insured have re-
ceived large returns on their invest
ments. The officers receive big salaries
and a great majority OF the pOIicyhOld-

VARIETY ON HIS TABLE.
He Had Four Kinds Of Nest and -Four
Kinds Of Bread.

Old man Wowton, the meanest
citizen in all the blue grass country,
drove up to the market place in
Lexington, where an army Of ne
groes stood about or lay basking in
the early morning sun waiting for
some man to hire them. The old
man was 80 stingy that he usually
had great difficulty in engaging ne
groes to do extra work on his farm.
But this time he struck a bargain
Immediately with big Bill Saunders
and the half dozen powerful but
lazy blacks who follow at his heels.
All the others were greatly SUP
prised to see this gang ambling out
on the big road toward Mr.. Wow

were mystifed to see big Bill and
his cronies again in the market
place.

Hannibal Harrison Tyler.

sadly.

An interesting bird is the 'weav-
er." It seems to be fond Of max
ing enormous nests merely for the
purpose Of exercise in the art OF
construction. Supply these birds
with strings and straw, and they
will use them up rapidly, and their
fabric is woven with a perfectness
that is astonishing. In some coun-
tries it is the custom Of the weaver
birds to colonize and build one big
fat topped platform, two or three
yards across, which is SO admirably
put together as to shed the rain as
we'll as any roof could do. Under
this roof they make individual pock-
& shaped nesta bringing UP under
this uaiqre structure large and
interesting family Of little weaves

TAe Power Of Enthusiasm

Enthusiasm IS one magnet o.
power. You must fire every event
with it, touch thoughts and acts
with it. It will transmute drUao
into gold. drudgcry into delight
What matters if the soul which
lives beside you is cold and selfish ?
Set him good example! Joy is
sunshine, and he viii feel it. Every
irksome task is a chance for power,
for the qualities which they bring
out are Gods gifts which fit us to
enjoy better things. Easy things
will come if you have spent your
hearts blood on gaining strength,
for the very goal of power is the
ease which comes from strength.
We laugh at things and people who
used to COW OF annoy Us. We do
gracefully and swiftly the tasks
once so hard. One by one we have
unriveted our chains. We are free!

WlTCHCRAFT IN ENGLAND.
The Last Of tho Judicial Prosecutions
and Executions.


and Executions.
Sir Matthew Hale, it is true, had
hanged two poor women at Cam
bridge in 1864. but few years later
Lord Chief Justice Holt set him
self strongly against such charges
and in every case tried before him
directed the jury to bring in yer-
dict of acquittaL In a celebrated
trial at Guildford in 1901 not only
was the supposed witch found not
guilty, but her false accuser, one
John Hathaway, was condemned to
a years imprisonment and to stand
in the pillory three times. Yet,
horrible to relate, woman named
Hicks and her daughter, a child of
nine, were hanged together at
Huntingdon On July %, 1915, for
missing storm of wind in league
with the devil.
The last judicial sentence for
vitchcraft in England was in 1896,
one Jane Wenham being actually
found guilty, according to the in
dictment, Of ''conversing familiar
ly with the devil in the form of q
cat" The judge, however, procured
reprieve for poor old Jane, and
she was ultimately released, to end
her days in peace.
Last, the witchcraft act was re-
peald for the United Kingdom in
the name year. It was quite time,
for only nine years earlier, In 1927,
