A Hurt Dog Tells

The best proof that an individual or company is meeting with success is shown by knocking and petty jeal- ousy on the part of competitors.
 It is the fellow that is not doing anything that never gets the knocks but he becomes specialist with the hammer. So when you hear a fel- low knocking, you can say he is a Hurt Dog-The other fellow has step ped on his toes.
 You will find this the case with professional men-Business Men and all others.
 The Insurance Business is no ex- ception.
 The Consolidated Casualty Com pany has begun to step on their toes and they are beginning to yell.
 At first they began to whine, now you can hear them yelping, on every corner. In fact they congregate and OLD TRAY YELPS and the LITTLE FIDOS bring in the chorus.
 When asked by the public why all this noise. Why we have new company in the field. We'll you have had them before. I have never heard you in such pain and agony as this.
 Yes, But-Well hold on, don't they as, Jo;y hot fr h< trouble and they, are offering $10( reward fer proof of any unpaid jus, claim.
 We'll why don't you get that $10( and quit knocking. I cant find al unpaid claim. Are they prompt 1T the settlement of claims. Yes, al the policyholder has to do is to have his physician fill claim blank and gt to their office and receive drafts 1T full.
 Well f this is the case I set no reason of so much unwarrantet knocking. We'll on the 0. T. an going to confess to you their policies are so iberal, and they give theii policyholders such a square deal they are putting us out Of business and we have to do this to hold some of our business. We feel encourag ed over the above as our presiden assures us that knocking on the par of competitors means greater succes!

Fire clay has been in use for cen. turles, and yet ] believe the industry Is one which lacks definite laws mora than any other, including those which are either modern or ancient and of less prominence You can % to a manufacturer of steel and specifv what you want by actual figures or statements and you can check the prod uct by chemical analysis or mechanical tests and thus make sure you get what you need. The producer knows how to combine certain elements and what quantities of various kinds to combine ih order to get result at least very closely approaching what you call for put not so i'll the fire clay business. In the past the most skilled and highest salarled chemists have been employed to make tests, to promote and carry through Investigations on the nat,,ra, product and to study the workings of certain manufactured and elaborated articles derived therefrom. The result mas been, generally speaking, confusion worse confounded. Two professors, working at similar times on brick or clay obtained from the same source and manufactured under exactly equal conditions, have recorded diametrically opposed conclusions.

Culinary Mysteries That BewiIdered
 an Enqlishwoman.
 One moment we were eating ducks eggs whose blackened, lime favored whites indicated that their age was unimpeachable; the next we were grap, bling with sea weeds, macaroni and the slippery sharks fins that eluded our clumsily manipulated sticks. Now we tackled-not without fear-un- known meats and vegetables cooked in sugar, fresh shrimps, mushrooms from Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pi. geons eggs and hundred different foreign tasting messes. Then clean plates were given to us, and bowls of sickly pink sirup, sweet potato and Indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only crevice fllers and concluded the first and lighter portion of the repast. Now came the real substantial meal, where in every dish had an accompaniment 0. smaller ones, containing gravies etc.. in which to dip the morsel taken from the central bowl.
 There was stewed duck cooked with out salt. roast sucking pig, forcemeat balls and chicken; there were soups of birds nest, of mushroom, of vegetables and of sea slugs. There was grilled fresh water fish, which, according to custom. was helped from the top side only. for the Chinese remembers his servant. And, finally, at the conclu- sion the inevitable small bowl of rice and rice water was set before each person.
 After some three hours, with feel ing of thankfulness that all was over. pipes. cigarettes and tea were served, and it seemed to me that the delicious aroma which rose from the latter soothed our senses and almost dis pelled the antipathy that had been growing on US for all things Chinese Mary Moore in London Express.
