A GENERAL DENIAL
TO THE COMPLAINT

General denial to the allegations of
the complaint of Mary E. Maupin
against the Prudential Insurance COM
pany. demand s1o2, was flied by John
F. Robbins, counsel for the defendent
corporation in the Wayne circuit court
Tuesday. The amount to which the
complainant is entitled to. it is set
forth in the answer, is but $3.50, half
of the amount involved in the indus
trial policy, which was carried by Will
liam j. Arvin. father of the plaintiff.
1t is alleged that no more is due the
complainant because it is part OF the
contract that in case the policy holder
should die within six months after ac-
ceptance of the policy. only one-hali
OF the amount insured for, should be
paid by the insuring corporation.

Heller Shelter.

"Helter skelter'' has been sugges-
lively defined as jingling expression
vaguely initiating the hurried clatter
OF feet rapidly and irregularly moved.
Most dictionaries. however. led astray
probably by the ordinary orthography,
have missed the true etymology of this
phrase. 1t should be ''helter keller"
"Helter" is an old word for hang"
probably connected with halter. and
''kelter" is used by old writer's in the
sense of "order" or the proper state.
Thus Barrow, the divine. says, III the
organs Of prayer be out Of keller how
can we pray" "Helter skelter," there
fore. is literally hang order" and
means. ''Oh. hang order: let US do it,
or let 1t take its chance" Ben JON
son in Every Man In His Humor''
writes. "Helter skelter. hang sorrow.

Lucius Littaner. the latter former
congressman and glove manufacturer
In New York.
Littauer was well liked in congress
and had many friends among the dele
gates. The result of the work done
was the nomination of Mr. Sherman.
The latter and Mr.. Cannon made de-
termined efforts to reward Mr.. Lit
tauer by getting heavy increase of
the duty on gloves when the Aldrich
law was in the making.
The outcry against this proposition
caused it's defeat. much to the regret
of the vice president and the speaker
and the irritation of Mr.. Littauer.
Since he has been vice president,
Mr.. Sherman's course has not endear-
ed him to the progressives. They are

II Is because of the realization that
Mr.. Sherman would not be an avail
able candidate that the presidents po-
litical advisers are considering other
men for second place in case of Mr..
Taft's denomination. The three who
loom largest in their eyes are Senator
Cummins of Iowa. Gov. Hadley. of
Missouri. and Gov. 'Deneen of Illinois
1t would be ideal of course to get
a New Yorker, one strong enough to
carry the state. But the field does not
offer any one who has sufficient
strength to accomplish this result.
II Senator Cummins would accept

that of vice president, the duties of

Col. Roosevelt desired Mr.. Hadley to

But the i'll health of the Missourian at
the time prevented this. Missouri, OF
