EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY
Skipper Didn't Hesitate at White Les
to Calm the Fears of Nervous
Traveller.
l.. H. Stevens,

It was a dirty night, to use a sail
or's phrase, and the talk in one corner
of the smoking room drifted to GENTS
at sea, and the childlike faith that pas
sengers repose in navigators.
Said the scientist, who had been col
lecting specimens on coral reef:
''I've often heard men and women
say they felt so safe with Capt So-and-
So, and I've wondered, too, whether
their sense of security woult still be
retained if these favored travellers
knew exactly what happened on ship

There is a blacksmith who has a
shop downtown, who has a reputa-
tion for good work. especially in the
making of ice tongs. But he claims
to be an expert on any kind of iron
work
Yesterday a man dropped in on him
while he was working on pair of ice
hooks.
Il see you are an expert on ice
hooks" said the caller.
"Oh, yes, l make ice hooks putty
good" remarked the mechanic, "unt
ais shoe your horses or do other
ironwork yust so good"
~, ELL" said the caller, I've got a
stove on which the hinges need re-
pairing. Can you fix them?"
The blacksmith drew himself up to
his full height and scornfully asked:

scribe what she had heard, and asked
her: Did you find much time between
the stopping and reversing?
"'No,' she replied.
Then, said the skipper, that
showed how well everything was work
ing, did it not?'
when got the shippers ear, 1 told
him cOnfdentially that l didn't think
the schooner's engines had worked as
well as ours, and he remarked that it
might have been worse. Whether he
meant the lie or the incident, l didn't
inquire, but I suspect it wasn't the
lie."

STRANGER SAVES THEIR LIVES
Expenditure of Three NickeIs Resulted
in the Turning Of the Joke on
the Joker.

This is a story about John Evers'
man. right hand man for Representa-
tive Mckinley of Illinois and playful
as a pup with a bone; l.. White BUS
hey, secretary to Speaker Cannon, and
dignified as a blind owl, and Asher
Hines, legislative clerk of the house.
and neither playful nor dignified to an
extreme
They were riding uptown from the
capitol on a street car when, with one
accord, they all lifted up their voices
and each insisted on paying the fares
of his companions.
NO." said Eversman, who is the
playful guy of the group, well match
to see who pays"
They all tipped up coins and each
fell heads up. BY this time the con-
ductor was getting red in the face.
WELL" said Eversman, whoever
has the coin bearing the earliest date
must pay"
The three coins, upon examination
proved to bear each one the date 1892
At this moment the conductor walked
away from them and swore volubly
but in a low tone. Mr.. Busbey's dig
nifty began to feel sore and Eversman
was laughing greatly. Hines looked
puzzled.
BY the time the car had reached the
post-office department these three
high-browed employees of a benefcent
government had decided that each
must pay his own fare Eversman was
the first to hand the conductor a nick
ell, but the collector of fares refused to
take it.
Your fares been paid" he said
gruff1y.
WHO paid it?" asked the three in
chorus
THAT gentleman over in the cor
ner," said the conductor, turning away
The gentleman he had pointed out was
total stranger to the three, and he
was laughing Historically. For a few
moments the three jokers sat in en-
barrassed silence. Eversman, who
likes to have jokes on other people,
sat with his face looking lige thou
sand dollar funeral. Finally Busbey,
who is dignified and pays his debts,
went over to the mirthful stranger and
said:
May l ask why you, stranger
paid our fares?"
Why" replied the stranger, lit was
evident that somebody had to pay, and
i didn't want to see the conductor
throw you off Washington Times.

For a moment he was silent, and

INSURANCE
SCANDAL
IN NY
I.u COMPANIES HIRED AT
TORNEYS TO LOOK AFTER
ALL LEGISLATION AFFECT
ING THEM.

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
NEW YORK, March 19.-C. L.
Case, formerly of the laws COM
mittee of the New York board of
underwriters, gave some sensa-
tfOnal testimony as to expendi-
lures today when superintendent
of Insurance Hotchkiss resumed
the inquiry into the dealings of
various life insurance companies
with the New York state legisla-
tors to influence legislation in
their favor.
Case declared that certain firms
of lawyers were employed by the
New York Underwriters to exam
inc all pending legislation in con-
Meeting with insurance matters.
According to Case, Attorneys
Sherman and Sterling of New
York city presented bill of
$17.500 for such work. The bill
was paid. This was in 1905, Case
explained. He stated, further,
that the attorneys reported every
bill, affecting the insurance COM
panies which came before the
legislature that year.
He stated, further, that the at
torneys reported on every bill af-
fecting the insurance companies
which came before the Legislature
that year.
One of the bills, Case said, was
endorsed and paid on the repre-
sentation that the sum was ex.
pended in Opposing inimicable in.
surance legislation, and for work
done by legislative committees. ,
After Case was excused, E. R
Kennedy was recalled to the stand
Kennedy identified the origi
nal of a bill introduced in the
Legislature by NJ. E. Lewis, during
the session of 1901, for removing
the tax from the reinsurance re
serve.
These corrections were incor.
porated in the bill which was
finally passed and became a law
Taking up the matter of an ex
penditure of $13,311 by Kennedy
in 1901, superintendent Hotchkiss
asked Kennedy what he did with
the remainder after he had turned
1000 over to the republican state
committee.
Kennedy flushed and said: "l
do not recollect."
