York newspaper, big man Will
flowing mustache, suggestive of the
woody west, a face tanned by desert
suns and long raven hair, strobe into
the Waldorf-Astoria when hundreds
of men and women, clad in the latest
modes, packed the dining rooms.
The big mans head bore , wide
brimmed, weather-stained sOmbrero.

Feather belt arodnd the waist His
KHAKI breeches were stuffed into high
hobnailed miners boots.
He strobe toward the most popu-
lous of the dining rooms and casually
as Of the manner born handed his
sombrero to the wide-eyed maid. AS
he was about to enter the room the
head waiter fastened toward him,
and, with expostulatory gestures, be-
gan: My dear fellow, you know
,er-guite unusual"
But the Granger stopped him with
a wave of the huge tanned paw, and
then to the establishment of all the
gaping diners, he opened up with an
elaborate Piccadilly accent in this
wise:
Me good man, I hawdly wonder
you're surprised at this rig. But it's
this way, you know. For, oh, so
many yeahs, you know, I've been out
in the west digging gold. And a bit
of a time time ago found the stuff.

As the heavy man waved again the
head waiter stood aside respectfully.
The western Englishman enjoyed his
meal with a relish, eating, it is said,
about four times the amount the or
binary diner consumes. His bill was
$40. In paying he pulled out a big
handful of gold double eagles. He
tipped the waiter a single eagle.
The stranger afterward said he was
Bertrand LIewellen Charles, younger
son of well known English family.
He set out years ago penniless to
make his fortune, he said, and SEEM

THE WHITE WHALE.
Are Quite Common in the Northern
Seas and Many of the Rivers.

Are Quite Common in the Northern
Seas and Many of the Rivers.
In northern seas and many of the
rivers is found the white whale or
the Arctic beluga. The creatures are
quite common in certain localities,
and especially at certain seasons of
the year. They are pure white in
color and quite handsome, darting
swiftly about in the cold, clear waters
of the northern rivers. An ordinary
specimen measures from 10 to 16
feet in length, and has a large muz-
zle-like mouth, filled with long sharp
teeth, with which it snaps up it's fish
food very quickly. 1t swims very
rapidly by doubling its tail beneath
its body and striking backward with
a powerful stroke, which sends it
forward fast enough to overtake
most all the fish in those northern
waters.
The natives capture them in nets
and with harpoons. The flesh is used
as food in certain seasons, and a
very fine grade of oil is rendered
from it. The skins are prepared and
tanned into leather, which is often
sold as the hide of the porpoise.

NO SASS FOR HELLO GIRL.
No Longer a Privilege in Missouri to
Say Things Impolite.

'Sassing' the telephone girl is o
longer a privilege in Missouri. A
new law of that state, which went
into effect last week, makes it a mis-
demeanor to use impolite, profane or
vulgar language over any public tel

1910 TAX ON AUTOMOBILES
is PROPOSED BY SENATOR SIM
MONS OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Says That One Million Dollars Could
Be Raised in This Way for
Road improvements.

Observation-Disclosures that
one out of five of the five hundred
thousand automobiles in use in the
country is employed in interstate
travel Senator Simmons of North
Carolina today expressed the opinion
in a speech in the senate that a mil
lion dollars annually can be raised
for the Improvement of wagon roads
by imposing a license fee of $40 on
each machine. He also prophesied
that the Improvement of the roads
would have the effect of greatly in
creasing automobile travel and there
fore enhancing the fund.
The proposition for an interstate
tax on automobiles is embraced in a
bill of which the North Carolina SEN
ator is the author and which pro
poses the appropriation of $1,000
600 annually for the benefit of the
roads on which the mails are carried
He contended for the equity of the
general scheme by the use of the
roads by the government and also
because of the benefits that would
accrue to the farmers of the coun-
try.

One of the things which deter many
Aalen from taking up the important topic
of Life Insurance is the bewildering array
of forms and alternatives in the styles Of
policy. Nothing rattles a man so much
and SO thoroughly as to drench him with
perplexing schemes and figures. It's all
wrong and it's all unnecessary.
Life Insurance is one of the simples,
propositions there is; that is, when it is
properly presented. The point is this
it isn't what you can get, it's what you
ought to have! az a. ~.

won't give you anything else! If you've
been positively swamped with Insurance

you want, or what you ought to have,
there is no friend like the friend who
will disentaugle you, who'll clear the
skies for you. and who will exponnd gen.
