gives birth to the idea that if its

pie will not take it for a thirteen pay

the ostrich when hard pressed some

life insurance. Run the head of the
policy in the ground seven years and
allow thirteen to stick out, and then
calmly say, seven years is the hole
and thirteen years out makes twenty
years-very simple, just matter of
figures. In other words the seven
years you did not have it plus the
thirteen years you will have it makes
twenty years in all, or a twenty pay

Why Commissioner Cut off

Guthrie, Okla, Oct, 26-Before adj
mitting any insurance company to do
business in the state of Oklahoma,
the state insurance commissioner thor

he chops off everything that he does

Last August a two million dollar
life insurance company made applica-

Prince Hirobumi Ito was perhaps

II was in 1868 that he made his

secret of occidental supremacy, he UNI

beneficial to his country later on.

AMERICA AT NIEssINA.

In reading the accounts of earth
quake relief at Messina as given in
such papers as the Tribuna (Rome) {,
one would believe that the most
prominent figures on the scene were
the king and queen of Italy, the
American Red Cross society, and
Ambassador Griscom with his COM
mittee of succor. The personal SER
vices of the Americans seem actu-
ally to have been more highly
thought of than the immensely of
the sum subscribed in the United
States for the relief of the sufferers.
The London Times explained the
fact that American munificence so
far overshadowed the contributions
to the Mansion House Fund by re-
minding it's readers that England
had Indian famines and Indian
plaques to look after. The Tribuna
was satisfied with saying that the
gift of America really showed the
solidarity of Italy with the United
States" This solidarity" was also
proved by the record this Roman
organ gives of the generous contri-
buttons sent from Italo-Americans Of
every American city. But special
attention is paid by the Tribuna to
the character and energy OF the

Fairbanks to the British capital as
a diplomat? Is not the great city
OF London encompassed with fogs

CHICAGO, March Aft you think you
know America, read this:
August Otto Raddatz, a German farm
er, served his time in the kaiser's army.
Afterwards he decided to see the world
and finally reaching New York he started
on five-year trip to learn about Amer1-
ca He has spent that time in all parts
of Canada and the United States.
Being especially interested in farming,
Raddatz walked every step of his way
through the country, and lived upon the
money he earned as farmer, cotton picker,
section hand, Iongshoreman, wood chop
per, and from work as dishwasher in res
taurants and machinist in automobile fac
tories
Raddatz has starved in the slums and
on the desert, has been robbed by Bowery
crooks, Rugged by Rocky mountain bears
and shot at by playful cowboys.
While he always Travelled alone, Rad
datz has become familiar with tramps
by meeting them in lodging houses, and
working with them on the railroads and
irrigation bitches.
You do not give the tramps justice In
this country he says. 'Tramps built the
st. Louis worlds fair The railroads and
big bridges are largely the work Of the
class you call hobOes.
"In Europe the tramp has a certain so
cial standing. When he visits city he
reports at once at police headquarters
and shows a book in which a record Of his
travels has been entered. Every German
village has an institution similar TO your
Y NJ c. A, where the tramp is welcome.
Many European tramps are students or
