Queen Of Hearts

The Queen of Hearts is the beauti-
full woman. Beauty" wrote Goethe.
"is welcome guest anywhere" and
the words are as true to-day as when
the poet first gave them expression.
Nature has not endowed every one
with good looks. but she has been
more prodigal In distributing her ia.
vors than Is generally realized
Beauty, like intellect, needs careful
cultivation and culture, long right
lines. is as beneficial to personal ap
pearance as mental culture is to the
mind. Every woman possesses some
good features-even the socalled plain
woman-which, carefully considered
and treated, will resul: in that per
sonal charm which is Deauty's chief
attraction. Surely II Is woman's
duty--as 1t is her delight-to make the
very best Of herself.

where Lincoln was struck down by
the hand of the assassin, and the
plain brick house opposite to which
the wounded man was removed and
where he died. However. there are
other buildings yet more interesting
sn some respects which are almost un.
known to sight-seers
Prominent among these is Lincoln's
church. A large portion of the public
has always had the impression that
Lincoln was not much of a church
xoer and indeed the edifice known as
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church In Washington is the only
place Of worship intimately associated
with Lincoln. This stately old church
which stands less than three blocks
from the White House presents today

NyEK coin has had it's result
s9~ projects of comparatively
recent inception for the
preservation of the various buildings
which have been most significantly
identified with the martyr president
and his public activities. The Lincoln
homestead of Springfield, ILL.,, has been
carefully preserved in the past and is
to receive even greater care in the
future and latterly there has been in
augurated the movement to make a
great national park Of the historic old
farm In Kentucky where Lincoln was
born and where his boyhood was
spent This involves the preservation
of the log cabin in which Lincoln was
born and which is. in a sense, the
most interesting of all the buildings
associated with Lincoln.
However, these landmarks of Lin
coins career are few indeed compared
to the similar mementoes of our other
great hero president. Houses which
George Washington used as military
headquarters or in which he lived,
tarried over night, danced or visited
are to be found in a number of differ

Monday upon the petition of At

On Saturday Comptroller VIM. A.

commissioner, revoked the license of
the company to do business until it's
books can be audited and the status
OF its affairs ascertained. 49,.
Prior to this State Treasurer
Brown had turned over to r. l.. May
nard of Americas $4,000 of the 800

on deposit with the state for the pro-
lection Of policy holders.
The stock was delivered bv the
treasurer on the strength of a court
order appointing Mr.. Maynard re-
ceiVer Of the $4,000 of stock, and the
money derived from it's sale will be
paid to Mrs. Nora Langford Logan of
Americas, daughter of w. T. Will
son, deceased, who held four policies
in the company for 1000 each. The
company has appealed this case to
the supreme court.
Insurance Commissioner Wright
revoked the license of the company
because it was made to appear that
1t had failed to promptly pay a claim.
lie had no alternative under tina
law.
The troubles of the company, as
is well known, are due to it's failure
to send out assessment notices and
collect death claims promptly. 1t had
plans on foot which would probably
have enabled it to come through all
right and protected all of its claims
The company has been of much
benefit to Dawson in various ways
and it is to be hoped that its affairs
will be arranged so it can continue
business. During it's five years OF
existence it has paid $4,000 to
beneficiaries.
