Afterward, at the instance and re-
quest of defendant, other insurance
was written, and on and between
October 81, 1906, and July 81, 1907,
several monthly statements were
rendered, four being in the name of
the st. Paul Fire & Marine Insurance
Co., with the words IN. G. Harrison

the face thereof, all of which were
honored by defendant, except that of
June 29, 1907, for $53152, upon which
payment of $2S9.35 was made, and
the statement of July 81, 1907, for
$370,35 no part Of which was paid.
The total amount of the different pay
ments to plaintiff was $1052.23. All
the business was sent in by defen-
dant, at whose request it had been
written, except in one or two in
stances, when 1t had been written for
one of his clients and reported to
him. To no item in these accounts
was objection made until sometime
between the 25th and 30th of Novem-

jected to the July statement, but in
no way did he question the June

LONG ISLANDS MODEL TOWN
Forest Hills Gardens, Financed by the

"A model suburban town, financed
BY. the Russell Sage Foundation,
whose general operations are shaped
BY Mrs. Sage. will be opened next
year on Long Island, nine miles, from
the central business district Of New
York. Forest Hills Gardens. az the
place will be called. will occupy Q
tract Of 142 acres and provide de.
tached homes for 1900 families, who
will pay for them at the rate Of s25
month and upward. The ground.
work will be laid by we'll known land.
scape gardeners and architects at q
preliminary cost of several millions to
the Sage estate. Streets, lanes, parks
and gardens will be definitely de-
signed at the start, the business sec
ton will be concentrated, and various
restrictions enforced for the general
welfare. It is proposed to dispose of
the homes to- professional men and
clerks at cost not much greater
than the ordinary expenditure for
rent. Another town for families of
much smaller means Is to be estab-
lished later, but with equally good
sanitation and regulation of the gen.
eral plan. BY this means persons in
moderate circumstances, it Is expect
ed, will be able to obtain homes Of
improved construction and with better
surroundings than can be secured on
the average. -. -
This idea is not new, though there
are notifications in some of the de-
tails. Enterprising real estate men
have long been working along similar
lines, apart from the philanthropio
backing, and building associations
have reduced the financial require.
ments to cooperative basis. Buying
a home is one of the soundest of in
vestments, and real estate dealers are
quick. to extend their business with
the general public on terms consistent
with business principles. Waiting for
q benefaction is needless, though the
new ideas and advantages that come
in that way are appreciated. New
towns are springing up on Long Island
| mainly because of improved transpor
| tation. Tunnels under East river give
quick and sure access to the city at
! all seasons Ferry and other delays
can be eliminated by the class whose
yocations require them to be In close

FoeIseap Paper.

Many boys and girls wonder why a
sheet OF paper of certain size. on
which many OF them write their ex-
aminatlons. should be called foolscap.
IL was originally so named because IL
bore water mark representing n
FOOLS cap and bells.
The reason for this is as follows:
When Charles !. found himself IN
financial difficulties he disposed OF GER
tain privileges In order 20 increase his
income. Among the privileges he sold
was that OF manufacturing paper.
The exclusive right 10 do this he let
out 10 certain parties. who. having n
monopoly OF the trade. charged ex
orbitant prices Al that time the law
required that all English paper bear
the royal arms.
The parliament which met under
Cromwell derided and made fun OF
this law Among other humiliations
TO the royal memory, II gave orders
that n fools cap aud bells take the
place OF the royal arms. The journals
which were written on the size paper
now known as foolscap. bore a very
decided water mark OF this sort
When the trump parliament broke
up the name given 10 this size OF pa
per remained and Is still with us ir
