HER0ISH OF FIRE FIGHTERS
Chief croker's Men Thought Little Of
Death When It Was Cues
ton of Their Work.

Former Chief Croker of New
York, in Worlds Work, says hat,
although the whole fire service is
founded on the principle Of obedi-
ence, it is almost impossible to drag
a man from danger when his battle
blood is up.
"In 1905" he says, 81 lost three
good men in a big warehouse fire in
Thirteenth street through reckless
ness inspired by this spirit. The
building had been pretty well gutted
and one Of the walls was getting
shaky. Directly under this wall
were three men from an engine COM
pany hugging lead Of hose, their
helmets down over their eyes, and
playing their water on the flames,
which almost singed their faces, I
saw their danger would have been
obvious to anyone but these three
fght-maddened heroes-and shout
ed: Get back there, menl Get back
from that wall
"They paid as much attention to
me as if they had been stone deaf. I
ran over and showed one after the
other back into the street out Of
danger.
When you're told to get back,
get back I said. You obey orders.'
"Then I turned my back and hur-
rier of the germs of the disease,
wall fell before had gone ten yards.
| looked around for the three men.
They we're nowhe% in sightl The
moment my back was turned they
had rushed back to play their
stream in that place Of peril, and
when the wall fell it buried them be.

LIFE INSURANCE IS POPULAE
More Than Twenty-Elght Million Per
soma In America Hold In Reg
uIar Companies.

The number Of persons in this
country who make use Of life insur-
ance as a means Of saving exceeds
the total number who avail them
selves of all the other recognized
modes Of thrift.
If we add together the nine mil
lions Of savings bank depositors, the
seven millions Of persons who own
their own homes. the two million
building and loan society stockhold-
ers and the million and three-quar-
ters Of corporation stockholders, we
shall have, nor reckoning duplica-
tions, not more than twenty millions
of investors.
Whereas, according to Moody's
Magazine, the number Of persons
who hold policies, ordinary and in
dustrial. in life insurance companies,
exceeds twenty-eight millions, These
twenty-eight millions do not include
the number Of certificate hol9ers in
fraternaI and assessment associa-
tions, old line or legal reserve life
insurance being the only kind of in
surance that is worth the serious at
tention Of business men.
The total life insurance carried in
the United States today is about
$3.50 a head Of the population, a
sum considerably greater than that
of any other country in the world.
The companies reporting to the Nlw
York insurance department had on
December Ell, la-Q VIA, 4,G80,268,315
insurance in force They had a to-
tai premium income Of $533, ,060,996
and a@ats amount to $3,6G5,630, ,535,
which represents Approximately as
large a sum Of money as the total
savings in all the banks of the
country.

EXPLORING HERcuLANEum.

Very extensive excavations are to
be made shortly at Herculaneum,
Italy. The Italian chancellor Of the
exchequer has granted a million
lire for the purpose, and the king
himself has promised to give 100000
