GREAT life insurance company
n whose actuaries have more than
n a national reputation for sound
ness OF reasoning. has recently given
its agents some instructions on insuF-
ing the lives of women, I quote:
Whereas. this company has not
heretofore thought best to Ensure the
lives of women. it is now acceptable
for you to secure applications for poll
cies from women as follows:
Il. Accept applications only from
women in business or from wage earn
ing women who have people dependent
on them
80. Do not accept women with an
income that is not derived from their
own property"
From this assume that these bard
headed actuaries, who eliminate gal
lantry. poetry and sentiment from their
and women who have things provided
for them as uncertain propositions to
insure.
Wage earning women are reasonably
happy. Steady, systematic work means
health. The competent man or woman
is a good moral and financial risk
A married woman may be competent
or she may not She may be happy or
she may not. It is quite unnecessary
to question her-she will not tell the
truth about herself, and it is exactly
the same with a woman who lives on
the bounty provided by either a live
man or a dead one.
Four-fifths of all the surgical cases
In public hospitals are performed on
women. But of the wage earning,
wealth producing women, no more go
to the hospitals prOpOrtionately than
do men. It is men who take the physi-
cal risks of the world-it is men who
operate railroads, tunnel mountains,

TWO Lessons

A plant in the window grew and grew.
But it yielded naught that was fair to
view;
It's form was ugly; its leaves held
stings
That pierced and tortured like evil
things.
And daily and yearly it seemed akin
To a life Of selfishness. hate and sin.
And on blazing sunshine It loved to
feed.
AS if gathering fire for deadliest deed.
But at last one day a rich perfume
Rose incenselihe that filled the room
And 10, on the plant flower fair.
Like the spirit Of purity resting there.
Then thought how the years dragged
apace
Ere the birth Of that bloom of marvel
Gus grace,
And I saw in the flower. 50 wondrously
planned.
Two beautiful lessons, simple yet
grand
The ugliest shape may be found to hold
A soul OF the purest. love1iest gold.
And blossom time comes. be it soon
or late.
For him who has patience to work and
wait

~ EOO1AG presents are tax
NJ alton with representation from
guests who attend wedding
ceremonies. The tax is collected in
advance and ranges from SI.5O for a
gallery seat to $1,000 for a seat in the
family circle This makes grand opera
look cheap, though it must be remem-
bered that in grand opera the audience
does not get a chance to kiss the bride
On the other hand there are weddings
to which the guests bring wagon loads
of costly gifts and then climb through
the window in order to escape their great
privilege.
Wedding presents are given with the
idea of providing the happy couple with
various articles which they would prob
ably never think to get for themselves.
If it were not for this pretty custom.
the American home would be almost de-
void of cut glass bathtubs, hand painted
china wash bowls, silver soup ladies and
Hungarian flower vases.
There are only four conventional
proper wedding presents-cut glass, silver
spoons, ornamental clocks and rocking
chairs. If bride is popular, and the
wedding has paid expenses, she viii re-
eeiye about Is cut glass bowls, y dozen
solid silver spoons, Il clocks and chairs.
These can afterwards be exchanged for
useful articles, such as knives and forks,
cups and saucers, and real clock which
will run "a hours every day, including
Sunday.
Some guests, however, to be original,
give presents which cannot be exchanged,
because no sane storekeeper would take
them back. They then prowl around
like detectives and make unexpected
calls in order to find out whether their
rcd and yellow china waste paper basket
is being exhibited in the parlOr or is
being used to hold soap in the laundry
room. Such people are pests and do not

Birds Nest In Mail Box.

Probably a birds nest in a rural
mail box is a rare thing, if it has ever
happened before, but out in Oswe-
gatchie a small bird has taken posses
sion of a mail box and has already
built her nest and laid three eggs and
it looks as though she would complete
her work of Matching and rearing her
young.
The particular box picked out by
the bird is one that is in use daily and
the mail carried never misses stop
at this box. Mrs Bird seems to enjoy
the idea to have the mail carrier lift
the cover OF the box and deposit the
mail and will sit on her nest as uncon-
cerned as can be. The mail box has
been fixed. so that it will not close en-
tirely so that the bird may complete
the task of rearing her young. 1t is
not known what kind of bird this is,
but it is thought that it is a phebe,
being brown of color and about the
size of a sparrow and laying sky-blue
eggs.-Watertown Correspondent New

Made a Good Guess.

A gentleman was watching a mill
lary funeral passing down the street.
1t was very pretentious affair, and
ne walked to the edge Of the curb to
get better view of the spectacle.
Just then the flag-draped cannon pass
ed, bearing the flower-laden coffin. His
curiosity was all the more aroused, so
ae stepped up to newsboy, who was
watching the procession, and asked:
Who's dead, sonny?"
The newsie looked at his ques-
ioner and then at the passing troops
and finally said:
Il don't know, boss; but 1 guess
t must be the Teller under all dem
1owers!"
