A LAW THAT PROMISES TO BE.
COME GENERAL.

Sound and unsound fraternal insur-
ance now are on diverging paths as
result of the legislative sessions in
many states reported to the Chicago
headquarters of the committee of fra
terna1ists which has been aiding the
Mobile bill' of the insurance commits
sioners. That safeguard of law relat-
ing to eight billion dollars of insurance
has been enacted in a dozen states
including such pivotal states as New
York and Ohio. and in twelve other
states new laws adopted give the in
surance departments the right to de-
mand such information from fraternals
as they may deem necessary to deter
mine the issuing of license. Under
this provision in most of the states
where the Mobile bill is not passed
the commissioners will demand valua-
tons as precedent to relicensing
Under the Mobile BILL the fraternal
societies are given several years in
which to prepare for this work, but
under the regulatory powers of the
departments they can demand it at
once should they deem it necessary. II
is expected that the possession of such
powers will lead to the adoption of the
Mobile bill by most of the legislatures
which meet next year. There are now
over twenty-five states in which no
new fraternal insurance society can
be organized hereafter with rates
lower than those of the National
Fraternal congress. In recent years
the organizing of such societies by
promoters has become an alarming

THE FAST AucTIoNEER OF CHI
CAGO.

The fastest talker in the country is
in Chicago in the person of II. b.
Throop, an auctioneer. who holds the
record for selling horses in the stock
yards horse market faster than six
hundred in five hours-better than one
hundred an hour. Nowadays horses
are almost legal tender at the stock
yards market, for buyers and sellers
from every state in the union meet
there and as result the speed re-
quired of the auctioneer has steadily
mounted until his talk is one uninter-
rupted clatter like that of a satling
gun for hours at a stretch Throop,
a veteran buyer and salesman, now
holds the long distance record for
plain and fancy talking, and his
friends are backing him against a
Coney Island spieler, a Mississippi
river steamboat mate, or a Pacific
coast booster. Recently he sold $40
horses in five hours. and was just
turning to go when he was told that
sixty more head had come in for sale.
In The open market, called the "bull
ring the horses. all numbered and
labeled, are sent past the auctioneer
at a run whips cracking, bidders yell :
ing, and, above it all, the high staceato
of the auctioneer rafting like hail on
tin roof, bids and sales following so
fast ct times as to keep three clerks
nearly crazy to record the deals.
When the placard. sold to be sound
is up, the guarantee is made good but
otherwise shrewd buyers run their
chances, having examined the horses
before they were brought to the ring.
1t is fast work, horses which were in
pillow traces in Iowa on one day being
brought there two days later at the
high prices now prevailing.

GLOVES. Wells AND NEckwEAR

The question IF gloves, wells and
neckwear is o distressing che during
the not weather season. All of them
soil after they have been worn few
hours, and each becomes a burden OF
expense. Wells can really be done
away with by the majority of women,
but neckwear and gloves are neces-
sites
Girls often carry gloves in their
hands. but neglect to put them on,
which is as much as to say, Il own
pair, but don't wish 10 wear them.
Don't think / am poor. | am only
lazy or warm Yet this is a bit of
carelessness that one should never in
dulge in.
In the country, in the suburbs. it
makes no difference whether a woman
ever puts on gloves, unless she is at
tending formal occasion: but in the
public thoroughfares it is a mark of
niceness to have your hands covered.
Kid gloves are expensive in hot
weather, for the perspiration makes
them split and gives them an ungainly
look: but in these days of wash cha
mois and other fabrics kid should new
err be considered

When finished. the bag looks like a

outside of the bag to increase the re-

Choose a dark, old-fashioned silk or
India print and make the bonnet III

Rhubarb Conserve.

With the rhubarb season at its
height, the housewife who enjoys
sweetmeats with her cold meats or
bread and butter in winter surely must
not fail to make a supply of rhuDanp
conserve. This is the recipe used by a
Newark woman: Peel and cut the rhu :
barb into inch lengths: to six pounds
of the fruit allow an equal amount OF
sugar. Extract the juice from two lem
ons two oranges and, removing the
seeds. run the pulp and rind through
the food chopper. Add this to the rhu-
barb and then add a large cupfuf OF
chopped almonds, the same amount OF
chopped English waslnuts and half a
pound of dates stoned and cut in malt
Let the mixture stand in covered
crock or earthenware dish over night
In the morning put on the stove, where
it will come to a boil slowly; boil until
it jeIlies, then pour into jelly glasses
and when cold cover with paraffin
Occasionally the 1rhubarb is so tart
that a little more sugar is necessary
if so, add to taste.

The New Hxdrocvels-


 First came the bicycle, with which all are familiar. Next came the mo- torcycIe, clipping it through the streets at terrific pace-the power be- ing supplied by mysterious box un- der the riders seat, which gives the machine is name Now comes an in- ventor at Oakland, Cal B. Frey. with a new machine called the hydrocycIe, which is motorcycle designed to run on water. Mir Frey has long since won recognition in mechanical con- trivances-his new gas engine, now in general use, demonstrating the fact that he is something more than a mere dreamer of dreams. His hydro cycle has three wheels, which are fioated by two air tanks located in the center of the machine. Rudders for steering are attached to the tanks on either side, and are controlled by a small wheel placed between the han dle bars The third or extra wheel is in the rear-the three wheels being in line or tandem. The riders seat is located between the first two wheels, while the third wheel in the rear is supplied with ten paddles on either side, which extend six inches beyond It's rim and so reach down into the water The hydrocycle is thus mo torcycle, propelled by a third wheel carrying paddles at the stern.
