Biting Sareasm-Two maiden sis
ters inherited from their father large
farm, and they decided to manage II
themselves with the assistance Of a
young man whom they employed to do
the heavier work. Their first business
transaction was the purchase Of a calf
about four weeks old from a near
neighbor. In the evening after they
made the purchase, the neighbor de-
livered 1t to them at their home, saying
That will make as fine cow as ever
chewed a cud."
After he had received his pay for the
calf and gone home, the sisters were
admiring 1t when one Of them acciden-
tally discovered it had no upper front
teeth. Not being aware that cows do
not have upper front teeth, they con-
cluded that their neighbor had tricked
them as we'll as swindled them. They
Immediately put the calf in crate and
sent 1t back to the original owner, with
q card attached to the crate, on which
they wrote in large letters:
you had better not go very near
this animal. 1t might bite you."-In

I made my first contract as agent

thirteen years ago, and during my
connection with the Company have
had the pleasure Of writing the appli-
cations Of scores Of the best citizens
in this section Of the state for insur-
ance-some having applied for and
obtained as many as four or five poll
cies on different dates-and 1t Is graf
flying to me to be able to state that
during my entire connection with the
company I have not had q single pol
Icy holder who has so much as tnti-
mated that he was not entirely salts
fed. It Is q fact that many Of them are
Mutual Benefit Agent today. They
do not carry a rate book, but they
never fail, when they find friend or
acquaintance who is considering life
insurance, to advise them outright to
take 1t in the Mutual Benefit, or before
signing an application to see SAM

that they know, by experience, that
there Is none better and they do not
want their friends to make the mis-

TAKING A STRANGE CENSUS
How Many Eskimos Along Barren
Coast of Hudson's Bay.

The work" ahead was to find out
how many Eskimos and other human
beings lived along the barren coast of
Hudson's bay, between Fort Churchill
and Chesterfield Inlet. It was only one
small end of the gigantic task of max
ing an official government census Of all
human life in the 100000 square miles
of wilderness and polar barren between
Hudson's bay and the Great Bear, on
the east and west, and the fifty eighth
degree and the Arctice ocean on the
north and south, says Leslie's Weekly
The work was begun more than two
years ago, but 1t isn't complete yet, ex-
cept in the hundred thousand square
miles along the west shore of the great
bay.
There have been few undertakings
more filled with the elements Of ro-
nance and adventure, Of hardship, and
the picturesque, than this taking Of a
census ri country Of savagery and
desolation, where human life is emu

man, woman or child to every fifty
square miles. In 1t have played their
part the old Hudson's Bay company's
factor, the Royal Northwest Mounted
Police, adventurous traders and ex-
plorers, dogs and sledges, canoes and
snowshoes; to say nothing Of that
other still more picturesque part of the
game" the people whom the govern
ment is seeking Kogmolocks, Nunatal-
mutes, Crees, Chippewayans, half
breeds, French and indians of dozen
different tribal names are now down in
black and white in what is without
doubt the worlds most interesting and
unusual census.

A Counterarsument.-G Basil
Duke, of Louisville, one Of the few sur
viving brigadiers Of the Confederacy
and the commander Of Morgan's cav
airy following the death Of his brother
in-law, General John Morgan, told this
story recently at a reunion Of the sur
vivors of the Battle Of Shiloh, says the
Saturday Evening Post.
He said that during one Of the Ten
nessee campaigns Morgan's men sur
prised and drove back regiment OF
Federal troopers. In the midst Of the
retreat one Of the enemy. who was
mounted upon big bay horse, sudden
ly turned and charged the victorious
Confederates full tilt, waving his arm
and shrek like made as he bore down
upon them alone. Respecting such
marvellous courage, the Confederates
forebore shooting the approaching foe;
but when he was right upon them they
saw there was q different reason for
his foolhardiness.
He was a green recruit. His horse
had run away with him-the bit had
broken; and white as a sheet and scar
ed stifr, the luckless youth was being
propelled straight at the whooping
Kentuckians, begging for mercy as he
came.
JEFF Sterritt, noted wit Of the COM
mand. stopped the horse and made
willing prisoner Of the rider. Sterritt,
who had not washed or shaved for days
and was a ferocious looking person,
pulled out a big pistol. Il don't know
whether to kill you right now" he said,
"or wait until the fight Is Overt"
Mister" begged the quivering cap
tive, don't do 1t at all! I'm dissi-
pated character-and I amt prepared

Napoleon and Beet culture-The
method Of extracting sugar from beets
by which more than half the worlds
supply of sugar is now produced, was
the discovery Of a German scientist,
but the credit for establishing the cul-
ture Of sugar beets as a world indus
try belongs to Napoleon. In the course
Of his great struggle with England the
emperor Of the French issued his IA
nous DEGREES forbidding commercial
relations with that country, and spe-
officially prohibiting importations from
British colonial possessions, from
which at that time practically the en-
tire supply Of sugar was obtained. Cut
off from this supply, the price of sugar
in France rose within a few years to a
dollar a pound, and threatened a re-
volt among his own subjects. Napo-
leon, however, had eminent French
scientists studying the sugar beet and
experimenting to determine its possi-
bilities. AS result Of their investi-
cations he was able to meet the diff

land in various parts Of the country
should be devoted to the culture Of
sugar beets. At the same time he
called attention to the fact, discover
ed in the experiments conducted by
his experts. that "the growing Of beet
roots improves the soil, and that the
residue Of the fabrication furnishes an
excellent food for cattle"
In such dramatic and arbitrary fash
ion did the humble beet make its ap-
pearance as a factor destined to as
sumo world wide and mighty COM
mercial Importance. To Napoleon 1t
was only a minor incident in his her
culean struggle for dominion, but 1t
stands today as the most beneficent
single act Of his career; for the de-
monstration that beet culture improves
the soil and increases the yield Of 9TH

methods of the leading countries Of
continental Europe, has halted the
flood Of emigration that formerly pour

problem with which they were con-
fronted Of providing a food supply for
