Virtue Rewarded

Previous to four or five years
ago the public, and especially In this
section, had become saturated with the
idea that all old line or legal reserve
life insurance companies Were about
the same" The opinion was not based
on the public's knowledge Of LIFE
INSURANCE or the contracts Is
sued by the various companies, but on
the statements Of agents representing
various companies other than the MU.
TUAL BENEFIT OF NEWARK, n.
through which life insurance COM
panies have passed since 1905 and the
wide publicity given the subject, the
public now knows that all companies
are NOT about the same" During
this trying period, because OF the fact
that during its entire existence, cover
ing q period Of sixty -four years, there
had never been so much as an insinua-
ton as to its integrity or business man
agement, the business Of the Mutual
Benefit has gone on increasing each
year, while the business Of those COM
panies that have had their sins uncov-
cred have suffered enormously IN loss
Of business, Notwithstanding the fact
that each Of them is perfectly solvent
and safe and as good as they have ever
been. They are now trying to initiate
the principles that have governed the
Mutual Benefit for Sixty-f0ur Years,
and laying great stress on their chang
ed ways, but say nothing Of its having
been forced on them. Don't you think
It would be safest, 80 far as your peace
Of mind is concerned, when you buy
insurance to insure in company

agents need to apologize, and especial

Division Of Labor.

Got any work this mornin', Mis-
tab Boyd?' asked old Billy Bulger,
safe In the knowledge that no work
would be entrusted to him.
mo-" was the response; and then
before Billy could ask for the GUS
tomary contribution: "But walt q
minute. Lawyer Phillips has owed
me twenty dollars for twenty years
Collect it and I'll give you half" And
the merchant, knowing how bad was
the debt, winked at waiting GUS
toner.
The old man found the lawyer In
the middle Of a group Of prospective
clients and influential citizens. Thrust
ing through the group, he called, in
stentorian tones:
"Mistah Phillips, suh!"
"Well?" queried the lawyer, much
annoyed.
"Mistah Boyd done tell me that
you've owed him twenty dollars for
about a hundred years; and he wants
to know kin you pay him, suh.'
The lawyer hurried to Billy's side
You idiot" he said soto voce, do
YOU want to ruin my business
Here!" and he thrust ten dollar Dill
into the old mans hand.
Back to the merchant toddled the
old man.
We'll, Billy" said the merchant,
did you get it?"
The old man grinned.
Il got my half, all right" ne
chuckled; but you'd better look out
when you go back to get your half
he's right smart hot over it, suh!"-
Success.

Doina the Gar.

The Emperor Nicholas OF Russia
was once sold" as follows:
During an interview which Martinez
the comedian and mimic, had succeed
ed in obtaining with Prince Volkhon-
sky, high steward, the emperor walked
into the room Unexpectedly, yet with
a design, as was soon made evident.
Telling the actor that he had heard
of his talents and should like to see a
specimen Of them, he bade him mimic
the old minister. The feat was per-
formed with so much gusto that the
emperor laughed immoderately and
then, to the great horror Of the poor
actor desired to have himself taken
off,"
"'Tis physically impossible" plead
ed Martinez.
"Nonsense!" said Nicholas. Il in
sist on its being DONE"
on its being DONE"
Finding himself on the horns of a
dilemma, the mimic took heart OF
grace, and with a promptitude and
presence of mind that probably saved
him. buttoned his coat over his breast,
expanded his chest, threw up his
head, and assuming the imperial part
to the best of his power, strode across
the room and back; then, standing
opposite the minister, he cried In the
exact tone and manner Of the czar:
"volkhonsky, pay NJ. Martinez 1000
silver rubles!"
The emperor for a moment was dis
concerted: but. recovering himself
with a smile, he ordered the money
to be paid.

Not long ago a certain farmer be-
came bankrupt In the course OF his
examination before the official receiv-

went on to explain that he had ex-
perienced what he described as "plaguy

did you know anything about horse
racing?" the bankrupt was asked.

How do you account for that?"
well, sometimes they ran second
"cos they'd overmuch weight to carry

The Dark Corner.-The popularity
Of Zach McGhee's novel, The Dark
Corner, is beginning to spread into
other sections than the south, and
to be noted by other papers than the
general press. The newspapers have
been highly complimentary in their
estimates Of the story. 1t Is being
even more favorably spoken Of, how
ever, by the educational papers OF
the country, which are looking upon
1t as a more or less professional work
The New England and National Jour-
nal of Education, published in Bos-
ton, is the most widely circulated
educational journal in the United
States, and in its book review col
umn in the current issue, 1t refers
to the book stating that it Is Of sc
much importance to the profession
torial article. In its editorial esti-
mate Of Mr.. McGhee's work, The
Journal says:
Zach McGhee, Washington cores
pondent Of the Savannah News, has
written an exceedingly interesting
story on the rescue of a far-from-t
railroad community through the skill
and devotion of a schoolmaster. II
Is an educational novel with a love
story, Of course, for spice, but 1t Is a
great story along the line Of educa-
tional betterment for the improve
ment Of the domestic, Industrial, CIV
ic, moral, and religious interests of
a densely dark corner Of an intense
ly prejudiced and ignorant commu-
nifty.
There is a graphic portrayal Of the
curse to a community that comes
from ignorant school authorities; a
senseless, bumptious professor In
charge Of the little school; a bigoted
superstitious, conceited, ignorant
preacher, and a people easily preyed
upon by political shysters. All this
Is given a rainbow effect under the
patient leadership of a consecrated,
cultured, brainy young man who was
willing to take the chances of los
ing everything dear in life in order to
become a country schoolmaster that
he might use the opportunities there
in for lifting the homes and farms,
the schools and churches, the high
ways and byways to ideal conditions.
Nowhere else Is to be found as vivid
a contrast Of what prejudice and neg
lect do with that which cultured lead
ership and noble devotion may do.
mo one can read this book and
thereafter be content to make teach
ing merely a matter Of petty school
room detail"

THAR'S MORE IN THE MAN

I knowed q man. which he JONES'
Which Jones is a county Of red hills and stones
lived pretty much by gitin of loans,
And nuthin' but skin and bones
AND hogs fiat his corn-bread pones
And he had bout a thousand acres o land
This man-which name was it also
He swore that them old red hills and stones
Fur he couldn't make nuhin' but yalerish cotton,
And little his fences was rotten,
And wha he had, hit was boughten
dnged eff lvin' was In the land
And the longer he swore the madder he got,
And he riz and walked to the stable lot
And he hollered to Tom to come thar and hitch
Fur to emigrae somewhar whar land was rich,
And to quit raisin' -burrs thistes and sch,
And wastin ther time on the cussed land
So him and Tom they up the mules,
Pertestn' that folks mighty big fools
That 'ud stay n Georgy ther lifetime out,
Jest scratchin a livin' when all Of 'em mought
Git places in Texas cotton would sprout
BY the time you could plant it in the land
And he drv by a hous a named Brown
Was a vn' fur from the edge O. town,
And he banered fur to buy his place.
And said bein' money was skace,
Two dollars would git the land
They closed at a dollar and fifty
And Jones he bought him a waggin and tents
And loaded and his wimmin and truck
And moved Texas which it tuck,
His entire pile with best Of luck
To git and git him a little land
Rut Brown moved out on the Jones farm
And he his breeches and barred his arm'
And he picked all the rocks from off'n the groun
And he rooted up and he plowed down,
Then he sowed his corn and wheat in the land.
Five years gid BY and Brown one day
(Which he'd got fat he wouldn't weigh)

To he bulliest dinner ever see,
When the children jumped on his knee
And says "Yan's JONES' which bought his land"
And thar was Jones, standin out at the fence
And he hadn't waggn nor mules, nor tents
Fur he left Texas afoot and cum

There is a pair of little owls over
in the tower Of the Smithsonian In
stitution that raises a brood Of young
ones every year, feeding them almost
exclusively on rats and MICE" said
James A. Rice Of st. Louis, to a
Washington Post reporter. This 1
learned from an attendance upon a
hearing of the committee on agricul-
ture of the house the other day. The
committee was considering the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, and Doc
tor Merriam, chief Of the biological
survey, was being heard. He told the
committee Of the Investigations that
have been made by his bureau. These
two little owls, he said, in the short
the Smithsonian have destroyed at
least 1000 mammals, including mead
ow mice, field mice, house mice and
common rats.
two ago congress seriously consider
ed cutting out the appropriation for
the maintenance Of the biological
survey, but although it was cut out
by the house. the senate restored it..
The story told by Doctor Merriam,
chief Of that survey, to the commit
tee on agriculture Of the house, was
the most interesting I have heard in
a long time. According to Doctor
Merriam, there are 10000, 900 prai-
rie dogs in the state Of Texas and 210
Of them will eat as much as a steer.
These dogs consume in a year as
much range grass as 100000 head
of cattle. There are millions of ground
squirrels in the state of California,
and these squirrels inhabit 100000
acres of land, causing a loss annually
of more than $2,0O0,000.
1.-The state Of Washington spends
$4,000 every year in fighting ground
SQUIRRELS In Nevada the meadow
mice average $4,000 to the acre. 1t Is
said that they eat 100000 worth of
alfalfa every year, and Doctor Mer-
| rfam estimates tnat the naWk, Owl,
weevil, skunk and coyote eat about
$4,000 of these meadow mice daily;
but, in spite Of this, 1t has been nee
essary to introduce poison to prevent
the overrunning Of the state with
these pests. Poisoned earth was
spread around promiscuously in an
effort to DESTROY these mice but IL re-
suited in the destruction Of the hawks,
owls and other predatory animals.
The department recently has resorted
to the use Of poisoned alfalfa, and it
is believed that this is a solution Of
the problem.
1.-The average ration of hawk or
owl, according to DR.. Merriam, is fif-
teen mice a day."
