Company, Contract, Cost.

The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company Of Newark, N. j., Is an old
company with traditions and ideals
and with vast experience. There Is no
hazard of inexperience involved in be-
coming a member of such an institu-
ton. So much for Security.
The second consideration is the Con-
tract. 1t is almost an axiom that
Mutual Benefit policies contain special
and peculiar advantages not combined
in the policies Of other companies.
The final consideration is Cost. In
buying a suit Of clothes, or any other
commodity, price is not the first con-
sideration. Price depends directly
upon quality. When you buy suit
you look about until you see some
thing that satisfies you, something that
Is substantial something that will be
serviceable. Having found it.you speak
Of the cost.
The net cost Of Mutual Benefit in
surance Is low by reason OF the econ
omy with which the Company is ad-
ministered its low mortality and its
profitable and stable investments.
If you insist on Quality, combined
with the lowest cost consistent with
absolute security, you will eventually
insure with the Mutual Benefit, the
Leading Annual Dividend Company.
Don't lose sight Of the fact that the
man who buys insurance Is the one
who pays the freight. and that wise
men look out for their own interests
and buy from the agent who Is able to
furnish undoubted proof that he has
the best goods. All companies are not
about the same" An investigation
will convince the most skeptical.

The members who thought that Mr..
Rousseau should be expelled frCm the
house were in the majority, but not in
sufficient numbers to effect his eXpul-
sion. which would have required a
two-thirds vote. They were able to
throttle the attempt to let them off
with a simple reprimand, but as re-
suit of all their deliberations nothing
was accomplished.
Cuspdors Flew.
In 1880 Representative James b.
Weaver of Iowa, afterward candidate
for the presidency on the Populist
ticket, and William \. j. Sparks of IL
linois created what DR.. Kinds refers
to as a scene of great disorder on the
floor of the house. This row is not
described in detail by the parliament
tartan, but the newspapers of the day
ran lengthy stories. In the melee
which became general, cuspidors were
thrown, and at one time Gen. Sparks,
breathing wrath, flung chair at Gen.
Weaver. Both cOmbatantS were COM
pelled to apologize for their conduct.
Within the last 80 years there have
been fewer real physical encounters.
The last notable instance was that be-
tween representative, now Senator
elect. John Sharp Williams of Missis-
sippi and the late Representative David
A. De Almond of Missouri. Mr.. Will
liams was minority leader at the time,
and Mr.. De Almond was a recognized
candidate for the honors which the
brilliant Mississippian was soon to re-
linquish for the toga. In this fight
blows were exchanged following high
words. Both members made eXplana-
tions before the house.
One of the funniest scraps that ever
occurred in the house took place be-
tween former Representative Brosius
of PENNSYLVANIA and Representative
Charles Bartlett of Georgia. In an
swer to a charge by Mr.. Brosius that
he was hindering action on an i'm
portant measure through constitution
al uuibbling, Mr.. Bartlett grew angry
He reflected on Mr.. Brosius's veracity.
The latter returned the compliment
with some trimmings. On the desk in
front of Mr.. Bartlett was huge loose
bound volume of the Congressional
Record 1t represented the loquacity
of half a session and contained more
than 1000 pages. Mr.. Bartlett grabbed
this as the nearest as well as the heav-
/ lest thing he could throw at Mr. Bros
ius He did not stop TO think that 1t
might not hold together He flung IT
with all his force at his enemy. AS
il left his hands the patent binder
broke and twenty pounds of words
sailed through the air in separate
sheets. Mr. Bartlett stood in shower
of paper while the patent binder sail
ed across the house. The accident was
too much for the risibilities of the
house. 1t broke into loud outlaws,
and, taking it as joke, the house ig-
nored the incident.

THE ARIZONA ROAD RUNNER.
Why No One Would Think Of Killing

Eastern readers are likely to he puZ
zled by the dispatch from Douglas
printed in yesterdays Republican de-
scriptive of the initial failure of an
aeroplane from which great things are
expected down Douglas way. 1t was
stated that the aeroplane ran over the
ground like a yellow road runner. but
refused to fly" Outside of Arizona
the inquiry will naturally be What is
road runner"
The road runner is one of Arizona s
distinctive OrnithologiCal Institutions.
1t is a long legged. long billed bird,
slender of build and standing some ten
inches high. 1t is not often seen in
the farming districts. but is a familiar
sight on the desert.
1t has gained the name OF road run
ner from its habit of taking the road
i'm front of travellers, he they on horse
back or wheeled conveyance, and run
ming swiftly or slowly as occasion re-
quires. showing off its ncighhorly spir-
it and running qualities. 1t is not UNI
common for it to keep in company of
the traveller for several hundred yards
No resident of Arizona would kill a
road runner. 1t is firmly believed that
the bird is the deadly enemy of that
monster of the desert, the rattlesnakc.
We don't know whether any of our
readers ever saw a road runner kill a

FOXES RUN IN RELAYS.
Team Work of Cunning Animals Out
wits Dogs and Hunters.

Foxes have been known TO combine
their efforts and by their team work"
outwit a whole pack of hounds and a
field of hunters.
one spring in North Carolina four
hunters with a pack of forty dogs were
chasing a fox. The chase had been on
for two hours or more, the fox running
in a circle not more than three miles
in diameter, when the hunters assem-
bled on a knoll near the center of the
described for himself.
The knoll overlooked a ravine about
100 yards distant from where the nun
ters had taken their stand. Across the
ravne, which was about 10 feet wide,
had fallen a giant chestnut tree which
time and the elements had stripped of
it's bark
one of the hunters saw the fox come
into sight, with the dogs four or five
hundred yards behind. The fox ran
straight to the chestnut tree and dis
appeared therein. Up To this time 1t
was not known that the log was hol-
low
In a few seconds the fox emerged
from the other end of the log on the
opposite side of the ravine and made
off through the forest. The dogs ran
to the log and there stopped. The
hunters watched them for a few min
utes, and then the master of the hunt
called them across the ravinc, put them
on the scent and away they went again
in full cry.
In about 80 minutes Rcynard once
more came into sight with his tail up
and showing no signs of wearincss.
The dogs were somewhat further be-
hind than before. The hunters watch
ed the fox. Again he ran into the log
and out on the opposite side. The dogs
halted and were again put on the trail.
This time, also. the fox was gone about
30 minutes and came back and repeat
ed his perinrmanc" with the log for the
third time Then one of the hunters
remarked that every time the fox came
out of the log he looked fresh, although
the chase had been going on for five
hours. The dogs. on the contrary, We're
becoming wcaried.
To make n long story short. after
the fox had made his fourth entrance
into and his fourth exit from the log
one Of the hunters securely stopped up
tn" exit In about 80 minutes the fox
ran into the log for the fifth time. The
entrance was quickly stopped up. the
hunters cut into the log and extracted
three full grown foxes.
BY taking turns the foxes had worn
out the dogs without firing themselves.

A CUNNING WEASEL.
The Trick BY Which He Trapped Hi:
Big Rat Antagonist.

Once a sawmill in a western town
was infested with rats, which, being
unmolested, became very numerous
and bold and played round the mill
among the men while they worked dur
ing the day. But one day there ap-
peared on the scene a weasel, which
Immediately declared war on the ro-
tents.
One by one the rats fell victims to
the weasers superior strength, until
only one very large, pugnacious rat
was left of the once numerous colony.
The weasel had a go at the big rat
several times. but on each occasion the
rodent proved more than a match for
his slender antagonist and chased the
weasel to hiding place.
Shortly thereafter the weasel was
seen busily digging under a lumber
pile near the mill. He was engaged for
some time, but later appeared again in
the mill, seeking his old enemy. He
soon found him and at once renewed
hostilities. AS usual, after a lively
tussel the rat got the better of the ar
gument, and the weasel ran, pursued
closely by the rat, straight to the hole
under the lumber pile.
He ran in, still followed by the rat,
but Immediately reappeared round the
end of the pile and again lodged into
the hole behind the rat. Neither was
seen again for some time, but the wea-
Sc finally reappeared looking no worse
for the fight.
The curiosity of the men in the mill
being aroused. they proceeded to in
vestigate the hole under the lumber
pile. They found that the weasel had
dug the hole sufficiently large at the
opening to admit the rat but had
gradually tapered it as he proceeded
until at the other end it barely allowed
his own slender body to pass.
When the rat chased him into the
large end of this underground tunnel
he quickly slipped through, and while
the rat was trying to squeeze his large
body into the smaller part of the hole
the weasel lodged in behind him.

where he could not turn round and fin
