Attempt TO Collect Life
Insurance.

ELKHART, Ind, Nov. - That
Hattie L. Benner will not be success
full in her suit against George Mast,
administrators of the estate of mis-
brother, Fred Mast, and the National
Life Assurance association of Des
MOines, to recover on a life policy for
$1,000 on Fred Mast, was, in the opin-
ion of lawyers, practically decided
when Judge Hartman Overruled de-
murrers to the answer % the COM
plant.
The answer set up that Mrs. Ben
ner, being neither relative nor a
person interested in the estate as a
creditor. could not be made benefic-
iary. The plaintiff demurred TO the
answer and was Overruled, the court
thus holding that the contention of
the defendant is good law.
Had Mr.. Mast been indebted to
Mrs. Benner, it is explained, that she
would have been interested" in the
prolongation of his life that her debt
might have been paid and could have
been a beneficiary of the policy.
Mrs. Benner was housekeeper for
Fred Mast at the time of his death
and had been for some time prior
thereto.

BARGAINS IN TITLES.
Plenty of Foreign Countries Where
You May Find Them.

Although foreign countries do moi
openly advertise their readiness to do
business with those who aspire to atfix
a handle to their names. the fact is
generally recognized that consider
able traffic in titles is carried on.
The tiny republic of San Marine,
which does roaring trade in titles of
nobility ut fixed rates. devotes a great
part Of the profits to the maintenance
of its founding and orphan asylum.
1t will make you and all your heirs or
only your male heirs, If such is your
desire, Il duke for $4,000 or an earl for
$3.50.
An idea of the traffic done in titles
may be gathered from the fact that a
German firm trading in Sweden sends
out Il circular marked Private and
confidential" offering to secure any Or
ders and decorations required.
The orders of St George vary In
price in different countries. In Sicily
it costs $375 and in Bavaria more than
twice as much. but you may become
Knight Of Montenegro for as little
as ST5.
The king of Greece does rather
prosperous business with the Order of
the Redeemer, which can be had for
$3.50, while Servia bestows the Order
of Takova for II like sum. The Prince
of Monaco has for disposal the Order
of the Star. for which he asks $175. and
for $50 less one can secure the Order
of the sun Of Nasr-ed-din from the
shah of Persia.
Although titles cannot be bartered in
England. it is. of course, an open Sc
cret that generous contribution to
political funds often paves the way to
H. place in the prcrage Apropos of
this. il is interesting to note the fact
that Franz KoSSuth. the son of the IA
nous patriot, charged the Hungarian
government with receiving no less than
s .450000 by selling baronpt titles.
Another phase of this traffic in titles
is revealed hy carefully worded adver-
tiScmentS which have appeared in Lon
don papers from time to time, offering
for sale the titles of impoverished no.
bic families Of France. 1t Is not so long
ago since three titles. two of which
