The Intelligent Trout.

A correspondent says that when
fishing in small river lately he
hooked a small trout. After a little I
managed to pull him free and he
came along the surface side up tow
ard the landing net without further
resistance. Finding the line a little
too long began to reel in, carelessly
allowing the rod to drop almost to
the straight, when the fish, then only
a foot or two from the shelving shore,
suddenly recovered his wind. The
water was but two or three inches
deep at the spot, quite still and clear,
with one or two small patches of sur
face grass on 1t. Instantly the trout
rushed at one of these patches and
seized the grass in his mouth, holding
on for all he was worth and defying
me to drag him free. then put the
net under him and lifted him out
with the bit of weed stuck in his
teeth.-London Field, .-.-

ONE THOUSAND LIFE

agents will be dropped from the rolls

insurance that may be written in a

When the amount of new business
was figured last December the New
York Life found that it had reached
the $3.50, 100000 limit and consider

The matter came before Justice
O'Gorman in a suit by an agent to

agency force. BY offers of premiums
it greatly increased its business, so
that in a few years it wrote more
than $3.50, 100000 a year, a mark
that has not been touched by any
other life insurance company by $780,
900, 900.
The discharge of 1000 agents is the
most drastic act of the kind ever un-

pany. hat the blow may fall as
lightly as possible the New York Life
selected the agents to go from those
engaged in other business. Many real
estate dealers and fire insurance
agents also handle life insurance.
Edward R. Perkins, second vice
president, said:
1.-TWO years ago We employed 5000
! agents, today but 5000. After today
this force will be cut down to 1000.
No other business is subjected to
such law. There is no legal limit
on the business banker or a broker
may do. II we did a business OF

slated to go did life insurance busl-

year."
