4 cHILD's ENDOWMENT.

Most mothers who are interested in the education of their children try to devise plan whereby they can set aside nickes and dimes which the child receives. They generally put it in 8 little tin bank which will mean something to the child in the future.
 New York Life has just Issued a new policy to cover this ground.
 The New York Life Ins. Co.,, is sues these policies payable either by annual or semi-annual premiums. To secure the payment of an en. dowment of a fixed amount on at. taining the age of IS, 21 CT 25 years which ever may be selectea at the outset. These policies pay an annual dividend. No medical examination is required.
 The amount assured is always de erred for a complete number Of years and the date of the spplics- , tion, (thLt is the date of the pay. ment of the first premium) deter. mines the date upon which ths date of the contract terminates Thus. supposing the child is three years and four months of age at the time of the application for in. surance, it will receive the amount assured either at the age of eigh- teen years and four months O. twenty-one years and four months or twenty-five years and four months according oo the period of the ea- dowment.
 The policy is non-rorTei:abIe after three full annual payments have been paid. The policy has a guar anteed cash value and embraces every advantage of twenty year en dowment policy for an adult after the child is fifteen years of age should the child die before attain ing the age of fifteen years tbs company will return the premiums received and the dividends accru- ing on the policy. The advantage of this method of saving over any other is that the child has a fixed plan for his saviug and a period to work to. We are going to make a special feature of this policy. any one interested in the future welfare of their children can get further particulars by calling at my oface or dropping a card to Box 3Ss.

FIFTY YEARS FROM SUMTER.
(st Louis Republic.)

 Judicial decisions rendered after appomattox and having the benefit 0: the ex-post-facto view have held that the Civil war is to be considered as having begun on February g, 1861. the date the vessel. Star of the West, was fired on while trying to convey supplies to Tort Sumter.
 Possibly some judicial problems We're simplifed by such a theory. As matter of hard, practical fact the war began just fifty years ago this morning, when a small force of troops mustered into theConfederate service and a larger force of South Carolinans, all under the command of General c. T. Beauregard, the first general officer commissioned by Jefferson Davis. began the fire or Fort Sumter in Charleston harbo-. says the St Louis Republic cf April l3
 There is a curious discrepancy ia history as to who fired the first shot. ] A familiar statement is that 1t was fred by Edmund Rufin, a virginiaa and friend of Calhoun, who had jour neyed all the way to Charleston to exercise tbis privilege. That. seeing tso awful consequences Of his act. hc committed suicide some months

later is also a familiar statement
 However, General Beauregard has tola us that he first offered the priv nege or firing the inidatory shot to Roger 4. Pryor. who cutie recently was a justice of the supreme court in New York. Like Rufiin, he was from Virginia, but had greater com punctions, which. because his state had not yet seceeded. caused him to decline the responsibility though they did not cause him to decline q appointment on Buregard's stan. which was duly gazetted in the st. Louis Republic of fifty years ago to- day.
 After Pryor's refusal the privilege was offered to Captain George s. James, according to Beauregard- James accepted. Very likely there were two men who began the bom- bardment by firing almost simulta- ueously from different points iu the many Confederate Notifications sur rounding the harbor

evening. As the bombardment be- gan between I and 4:S0 a.m.' the copy of the Republic of April F. 1861. contains no mention whatever of the startling event. If any ex- tras were printed during the day they have not been preserved at this office.
 The issue of April I3 contains many bulletins about Sumter. but very little that tells us how the news was received fin St. Louis. It is certain that during at least DOT ton of the day but one wire was working to the south.

PROTECTING OUR BORDER.
CNew York Times.)

(New York Times.)
 President Tafts decision to dis patch troops to points near the Mexican border has been amply jus tl1ed by events at Douglas, Ariz. During an engagement between the forces of the Mexican federal goy ernmeut and the insurrectionists. very near tie border line, American citizens in Douglas were killed and others wounded apparently by buL lets fred by the federal forces. From whichever side the firing came. that is something we cannot permit or pnt up with It Is prob able. it is certainly to be hoped, that the representations made by our government in the City of Mex ieo and to the officers of the forces confronting each other just across the border line from Douglas. will be sufficient 10 prevent a repetition of this occurrence. If not, we shall, of course. take measures to stop the carrying on of hostilities in a manner which endangers the lives of our citizens. The right of self preservation entities us to take such preventive measures and employ such force as may be necessary. even if for that purpose we have 10 send troops across the line into Mexican territory.
 That is a right which would hardly be questioned in any quarter; but for the exercise of it there are precedents. During the Canadian rebellion Of 1858 a body of the n surgents seized an island al Mag ara within the American frontier and from there they fired shots into Canada and were making prepara- tons to cross into British territory aboard a sGlan steamer, the Caro- .ne. A British force boarded the Caroline while within American wa ters, set the steamer aflre, and sent her adrift over the fails. Our government made demands for repa- ration. and the matter vas not fin ally adjusted Hntil 1S42, when Mir Webster admitted Lord Ashburton's contention that such an act would De justified by the necessity of self defense, instant and overwhelming, leaving no choice Of means or time for deliberation, but denied that such necessity really existed. On Lord Ashburton's apologizing for the invasion of American territory, the matter was dropped. Again. when he Kea-sarge approached the port of CherSourg in France with the intention of destroying the Con federate steamer Alabama, the French government represented the necessity that the combat should take place not merely outside the threemile limit. but far enough at sea so that no shot from either yes sel should reach the French shore.

line into Douglas, and the town which they desired to capture being be tween them and Douglas and so near that any fighting in the town would most surely result in disobeying the American order. complicated the bat tie very much.
 That only a few Of nur citizens were hit and none of them fatally wounded is cause for congratulation. That bullets only come in occasion ally is demonstrated by the fact that so few were hit during the day when the streets of the city were crowded with people from nearly morning until the fighting ceased.
 The people of Douglas certainly deserve credit for their behavior during the contest on the other side; if they had sympathies CT intense desires as to the outcome they keD: it to themselves. Ali joined in the effort being made by the Red Cross society to provide every possible care and accommodation for the wounded expected to be brought from the held of Sattle. The fact that this opportunity did not come except in the case of those wounded On the streets of Douglas, does not detract from the credit due those who volunteered their services in this charitable work.
 ! In the meantime our citizens should not cease their efforts to have our home government to take such steps as will guarantee the citizens of all the border towns from such danger as threatened Douglas yester- day and last Thursday. It has been suggested at Washington that an effort would be made to have a six mile zone arranged for along the American border, into which neither federal nor insurrecto soldiers should cone during the continuation of the insurrection.
 President Taft in response to the appeals sent from the people of Douglas for assistance expressed his sincere sorrow at what had occur red, but took the position that he was poweriess to interfere by send ing United States troops into Mexico without the authorization of con- gress, as such an act on his part might precipitate a war that would be continued for years. Just as con
 ress was taking steps looking to q thorough investigation of conditions in Douglas the rebels abandoned Agua Prieta and relieved the acute ness of the situation, but as the in surrection in Mexico is perhaps yet in it's infancy congress should be impressed with the necessity of completing its ssztszsesssse action. which will prsveza szss sEx1sscss in the f1tzxE

But this society paid no attention to Dr. Franklin's suggestion. He there fore determined to test the matter himself by sending a piece Of iron into a thunder cloud. hoping to feel some effect through the string of the kite that cared the iron into the cloud. He made a kite with two light cedar sticks and his silk pock- ct handkerchief. He attached to the wire a foot long. and to this end of top Of the kite sharp pointed iron the kite cord s.s addea a cord to silk, which is a poor conductor of electricity.
