Look Alter Your Property

 It is safe rule in this world to look carefully after the details of your own property. Be sure your title deeds are recorded, that your insurance is kept up, that you alone have the key to your strong box in the safety vault. Do not leave your securities with your broker. If he is doing a conservative business he has no need of them. If he isn't you don't want him to handle your property. The wonder is that with all the confidence repoeed in financial matters there are so few def alcations. There is no use in making ft easy for some one to get your prop erty. In this world it is hard for most persons to acquire anything, and they should be careful to the last degree in seeing that they are fully protected in it.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

A RhineIand Legend.

There is a Rhineland legend of three German robbers who, having acquired by various atrocities what amounted to a very valuable booty, agreed to di- vide the spoil and to retire from SC dangerous a vocation. When the day appointed for this purpose arrived one of them was dispatched to a neighbor
