IN HE State House is a gloomy and
cherries place inside to look at,
and those who visit it without
n other reason than to see what's
going on or OH business are likely to
think that home was never like this
Everyone seems to have his own af-
fairs to attend to and except in a bust
ness way, has little time to spare for
anyone else.
That's the way 1t looks to the uninitia-
ted. They wonder how it feels to know
some one in the offices who does not
think 1t always necessary to turn right
back to work as soon as the affair on
which he has called has been completed.
He docs rot know. though he may
guess, that after o have gotten to
know them, State House officials are a
pretty likable fraternity Inc a well
come into their Offices a very pleas
ant thing. And least of all, because
he does not shout it from the court
house steps at high noon. does the
casual visitor appreciate what a nice
thing it is to drop in occasionally on
Uncle Dan" S. Voorhees,, the State
Treasurer.
Uncle Dan is the youngest ofTiciaI
on The entire State list, no matter what
year they tell you he was born in. TIC
all practical purposes he's just as
young as you are, and can be Younger
if he wants to.
The only trouble is, from the point OF
view of his friends, there are not quite
enough hours in the day. He insists
in working, which cuts in badly on the
time that he has to see visitors
though there are not many who go ir
to see him who do o at least get {
few minutes of his time.
Uncle Dan" comes from Morris. Thu

there, and SO put himself in line to be
something big later in life.
Though he is a loyal member Of the
Republican party. in whose councils
he stands among the leaders, Uncle
Dan wages his wars on political INES
only. Outside of that a persons party
has little or no weight with him. Ii
you will believe the Democrats he has
as many friends on their side as in his
W camp.
Since his retirement from the county
clerkship he has opened law offices in
Morristown. 1t was a little strange at
first for the old-timers to get used to
going there instead of to the court
house to see him, but they are getting
used to it now, and things are almost
as homelike as they used to be.

SPECULATIVE Insurance Mania.

mania for speculative assurances
on the lives of public personages pre-
vailed in England during the eigh-
teenth century. Warren Hastings, the
pretender, the rebel lords. or the un-
fortunate Admiral Byng answered
equally the purpose of speculation,
and there were also regular quota
tions on the lives of notorious high
waymen. Sir Robert Walpole at one
period of his career. when his life was
endangered by popular tumults, was
insured for many thousands. and when
George IL. fought at Dettingen 25 per
cent. was paid against his return.
Such speculative insurances were,
however, largely checked by the gam
bling act of IVA. which made insura-
Bile interest a necessary condition for
a valid policy.

Boycott on Physicians. ,

Something unique in the line Of
strike or a boycott was recently re-
ported from a small town in Bur
gundy. The physicians of the place
raised their rates 30 per cent, and q
massmeeting of all the ailing foil
was called, at which 1t was decided
to dispense with the medical mems
services and trust to luck to get well.
"The opportunity seems a splendid
one for Christian Scientists to step
in and make hay while the sun
Shines says the London Standard.
The doctors of the place are said to
be determined on holding out for their
increased scale of charges, and, of
course, no colleagues from neighbor
ing towns will commit so grave a
breach of professional etiquette as to
turn blacMegs and poach on the other
physicians preserves. But the medi-
cal attendants are playing, perhaps,
rather dangerous game. Where will
they be if their patients get well
