Der how the last life insurance
agent to work you spoke proudly
of his company's surplus? They
always do. They speak as if this
surplus would become the person
al property of the policy-holder
as soon as the policy was issued.
Well" said Governor Bob,
"let's see who it does belong to-
So a law provides that no stock
company could have its license
renewed in Wisconsin unless it
filed declaration telling who the
surplus belonged to-policy-hold-
er or stockholder. Anything
wrong about that, brother?
One company withdrew from
Wisconsin-and has since given
half million of the surplus to its
stockholders. The Wisconsin in
surance department foresaw just
this. Wisconsin doesn't say the
company hasn't right to do this

And so at last he wrote Jim Brown:
Meet the ten train. I'm coming down"
But no dumb hayseed met the train.
For that OK team he looked In vain.
But Jim In buzz car up to date
For his old friend did gladly wait,
Quick whisked him to his modern farm,
Where all was sweet content and charm,
And there where nature doth excel
The city dude was soon made well
Then he quick to his partner wrote

A man does not count as wasted the time

but he seems 10th to give the same sort
OF careful attention to himself and 70 his
health. And yet his business would be
worth little without good health TO care

great deal after meals. My food seemed to
lay IKE lead In my stomach. producing
heaviness and dizziness and sometimes pos

more OF less unit for business, and made

GREAT MEDICINE FOR WEAK
DISEASED KIDNEY S


Terrible results often come from neg
lected kidneys or bladder, Pains in the
back, frequent desire to urinate. highly
colored or scalding urine, rheumatic pains
in the joints, dizziness, are the most com
mon symptoms Of kidney trouble. A sure
and reliable remedy should be secured at
once. The following formula is considered
one of the best known. Get from any good
drug store a half pound package Murax
compound, half ounce fluid extract Buchu
and six ounces best gin. Mix these to-
gether and take one to two teaspoonfuls
Of the mixture after each meal and at bed
time.
The function of the kidneys is to separate
and filter poisonous waste matter and uric
acid from the blood. If they become weak
or inactive these impurities are not thrown
off as they should be, and consequently
cause serious trouble. The above formula
puts the kidneys in proper condition to do
their work properly.

FORTUNE LOSES "a SOLDIER
Character In "a story
book.

George b. Boynton, more often called cap
tain or general or admiral than plain Mr.
Boynton, and one OF the most venturesome
OF soldiers OF fortune, died I'm New York
City recently, in a private hospital in West
Seventy -fourth street He was 70 years old,
and his death was a consequence OF the
exposure and hardships he had suffered in
the course Of his eventful life. Like al
most every other we'll known gentleman
adventurer," Boynton had been picked out
as the original of the young engineer in
Richard Harding Davis book, Soldiers OF
Fortune.R
II was from him, too, according TO an
other tradition. that Guy Boothby got the
idea OF his story. "The Beautiful White
Devil" Boynton once discovered a white
woman who led Chinese pirates, while he
was hunting them down In the China sea.
Boynton liked to surround himself with
a certain amount OF mystery, and he would
never tell any OF the details OF his ances-
try, other than that his father was a ply
sician and that he had been born on Fifth
avenue a little north OF Fourteenth street
As a boy he ran away from home and en-
listed in a federal cavalry regiment during
the civil war. After being wounded az
Pittsburgh Landing. he left the army and
took TO blockade running for the other
side, as being productive OF more excite
ment HIS steamship the Letter b, made
several successful trips from Bermuda to
southern ports
Later he was associated with Jim Fisk
in this city, was a sort OF political in
vestigator for Andrew Johnson. and finally
took up hlibustering for the Cuban revo-
lutonists IN the ten years war. In 1868
he supplied the Spanish pretender, Don
Carlos, with arms and ammunition from
England, but they had a disagreement, and
/ Boynton always Insisted that Don Carlos
tried to have him assassinated. This was a
/ weird story, in which a beautiful young
gypsy girl was involved. For some years

STEAMING AN UMBRELLA.
Process That Makes the Fabric Fit
Tiaht and Smooth.

One of the odd occupations in
which men may find employment is
hat of the steamer and roller in an
umbrella factory.
When in the process Of its man
ufacture the umbrella has been so
far advanced as to have its cover
on, but this before it has been 9TH
crwise finished and fitted with its
handle, it may need to be steamed.
1t is Of course essential that the
cover should fit everywhere with
drumhcad-likc smoothness, but as
it comes now from the coverers it
may be that the curtain, that part
of the cover that is down in the
widest part of the panels, between
the ends Of the ribs, is loose and
full. 1t is the work Of the steamer
to take ont that fullncss.

a pile of umbrellas near on one
side. In front of him at a little dis
lance is what looks as much as any
thing like a big galvanized iron
