Roosevelt received in the house Of

he unwittingly characterized him as a

was not. The question cannot he,

THE STRENUOUS
AGE.
i.

One woman and two men killed,
one young girl crippled for life, and
little 4-year-old child left mother
less. This is the story in brief Of
an early morning automobile Joy
ride" which took place in Denver a
few nights ago.
From the press reports 1t appears
that the party of joy riders had been
out for an early morning ride the
accident took place at o'clock in
the morning-and when another large
touring car whizzed by them the
the chauffeur decided to overtake it,
Putting on full speed the huge car
forged ahead at terrific rate, but

ment, and then turned turtle. crush.
ing two of the occupants to death,
and injuring others as enumerated
above.
Now this accident of itself is not
much out of the ordinary but there
is another side to the story. 1t is
found in the personnel Of the party,
At the police investigation that fol
lowed the accident the rather start.
ling fact was brought out that no
two members of the party had known
eacn other an hour before the ride
WITS begun. The driver of the MA
chine-himself married man had
met two young fellows sitting at a
soda fountain. He invited them to
come and get some girls and go for
ride" Walking down the street
the two young fellows struck up a
girls OF respectable Denver parents
and invited them on the ride. Later
the driver Of the car drove up with
another woman-a divorcee, and
mother of a four year old baby, and
after farcial attempt at decency by
way OF INTRODUCING" one another the
| ride was begun.
One Of the girls was 10, the other
20 years OF age. A run to the road
house" was made, and upon the re.
turn journey-at a.m.-the accident
took place in which the young girl
who was a mother and graduate
of the Colorado Industrial School as
It later developed, was killed.

An Apt Reply.-A laborer contracted
with a farmer to work during the sum-
mer, but he tired of the job and walk
ed off.
Later he returned and demanded the
balance of his pay. The farmer had
been unable to get another hand, all
being engaged elsewhere, and he claim
ed his crop was injured from lack OF
attention more than the wages due
amounted to- and he refused to pay
him.
The laborer sued him, but lost the
case. He was very angry and openly
said he would get even"
The farmer owned a bunch Of fine
cattle and was amazed and indignant
one morning to find their tails had
been cut off, He sued the laborer and
brought witnesses who had heard him
threaten revenge, but the evidence was
circumstantial, and the case was dis
missed for want of proof. Later the
farmer and a neighbor were looking at
the cattle and the farmer remarked
he did not know what to do with them.
Well" said the neighbor. Il think
you better dispose of them by whole
sale, for 1t Is certain you never can

Worth MOfe..COStS Less

The record of the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Company, extending
over a period Of Sixty-seven years,
will prove two propositions very
clearly to any man who will make a
careful, intelligent investigation, and
they are that its policies are Worth
More and Cost Less than those Of any
company in business. They are worth
more because of the fact that they
absolutely safeguard every interest of
the assured and his beneficiary to a
greater extent than those Of any other
company in business today. and its
contracts cost less because Of the fact
that no company exercises greater
care in the selection Of its risks-those
to whom 1t issues policies-or con-
ducts its business on a more economi-
cal scale, therefore 1t Is the best COM
pany to Live in and pay all death
claims on the day proofs are received,
provided of course there Is no indica-
ton that the claim is fraudulent.

Had Thought Him In tho Pale.-The
quaint sayings of little folk furnish an
abundant supply of amusing anec-
dotes. A Baltimore lady, an Episco-
palian, relates the following story,
which she declares Is authentic:
MRS. j., Of Georgia, relative OF
prominent bishop Of the Episcopal
church, had little daughter who had
lust begun to attend school. Mrs. j.
was herself a devout Episcopalian,
and her little one had been carefully
trained.
"One day the child returned from
school almost in tears. She said lit
tie Jewish girl in her class had treat
ed her badly, and she began to speak
slightingly Of her schoolmate's race
when her mother said reprovingly;
"My dear, you must not talk IN
that way. The Jews were Gods cho-
sen people. Our Lord, himself. was
Jew
After a moments deep thought the
child replied in tone in which horror
and regret were equally blended:
"'oh. mamma, I didn't know that
1 am sorry. I always thought he was
an Episcopalian. baltimore Sun.
