and none were over % years Of age.
They all bought Mutual Benefit Insur-

rectly, that there was none better,
that the best time to insure was while
they were young, in good health and
could get 1t. Each Of them applied
for and were issued 20 pay life poll
cies and If they live they will have
finished paying premiums by the time
they reach the prime Of life, and will
have laid up a neat sum for old age
in the safest hands in which money
can be placed. There are scores of
men in this section who fully realize
that they should do as these have
done, and fully expect to. but are
waiting for a more convenient sea-

never come, as it did not for others

Harness or Under Saddle.

He Is a Fighter Brave and Cool in
Harness or Under Saddle.
Most people have heard discussions
as to whether mankind first drove
horses or mounted them, after they
had captured and reduced them from
their wild state. The poet, Lucretius.
who lived some years before our era,
thinks that for an armed man to
mount a horse and guide it to fight
by the bride was much more an
cient way than to harness the animal
to chariot.
Put SO far as human knowledge
goes the horse was always in use--a
war-like animal, fast and brave,
both in harness and under the saddle.
The southwestern Asiatics took
early to driving. at first probably in
rude carts but the Assyrian chariots
were strong. light. swift, elegant and
metal-bOund."
The Greeks of the Homeric times
did not ride much. or have many
horses, and mostly drove those they
had. as they had seen their nearest

QUEEN NATALIE
Beautiful Lady Of High Degree Lives
In Retirement


Ex-Queen Natalie is spending her
days in retirement in a Paris convent.
1t is the guest house of THE Solitude"
that the queen Of Servia now lives.
says a Paris letter in the New York
Sun, she devotes her time to different
charitable works brought to the notice
of the nuns The guest mother, Mere
the guest house in her charge and
comes in many times a day to see that
all is as it should be. A photograph of
King Milan stands on the chimney
piece in the salon, and another Of King
Alexander and Queen Draga stands
near the queens chair.
Queen Natalie is at home in the con-
vent, for she was educated there and
she loves every stick and stone in the
place. Her father was an officer in
the French army, and her marriage
with the King of Servia did not prove
a very happy one. The frightful trag-
edy happening so closely on King Mi
lans abdication, when King Alexander
and his queen were murdered, has
made Servia odious to Queen Natalie
and she will probably make Paris her
permanent home. So long as the queen
remains in 1.-The Solitude" no other
guests will be admitted. All the year
around there is a great demand for
rooms in the guest house, and 1t Is al
ways filled with visitors, old pupils OF
the convent for the most part or wo-
men otherwise we'll accredited to the
mother superior. Mere Bettina looks
after their comfort and listens with
great enjoyment to their tales Of the
outer world.
The nuns of this wealthy and aristo-
cratic order Of Notre Dame de Sion are
women of high culture, and their prin-
cipal occupation has been teaching.
They are tolerated by the government
on account Of the valuable colonizing
work they do for France by means OF
their branch houses in Algeria, Moroc-
co and the east. The mother superior,
accompanied by small court COM
posed Of secretaries and assistants,
moves from one establishment to the
other inspecting, organizing, advising,
correcting and with great skill and tact
administering the vast property accu-
mulated in the course Of time by the
order Almost all the houses that
stand around the Paris convent are
owned by the order and very hard in
deed is it to obtain a lease from the
sisters. Once your character and po-
sition. have been proven satisfactory,
however, and you are in possession Of
an apartment, you are favored beyond
the common run Of mortals, for the
nuns are the best Of landlords.
1t is in these surroundings that
Queen Natalie is spending her lonely
widowhood, and here, guarded by the
sisters in Golf and veil, the weeks slip
peacefully by. Every day the queen
and her ladies cross the garden to the
convent chapel, where they hear mass.
and often Queen Natalie passes before
that crusty FORTRESS, and with a single
one Of her ladies for escort goes on
some errand into the city.

Tho Right Sort.-Beach Chester,
who has just published new book of
anecdotes, tells a story Of a Scotch
man in London who wrote a letter
containing a proposal of marriage to
young lady in Aberdeen and, wanting
to know his fate as soon as possible,
asked her to telephone her reply.
He expected to hear from her in the
morning, and he hung about the tele-
phone all day, but it was evening be-
fore he had the joy Of hearing her dear
voice, hundreds of miles away, accept
ing his proposal.

took hen with her on her latest ocean
voyage, the idea being, Of course, that
in addition to providing the enterpr:s
ing young lady with a few extra press
notices the hen would supply her with
fresh eggs on the voyage.
The incident has recalled a story
connected with Cecil Rhodes. who al.
ways took one or two hens with Kim on
his many long voyages between Eng
land and the Cape.
Another well-known South African
who had frequently made the "Trip in
the same vessel as Rhodes, was asked
why he, too, did not take some hens
with him.
1T isn't necessary" he said. You
see, always tip the man who looks
after Rhodes hens and 1 get the

Were Not Delivered and His Cook Was
Read Moral Lesson.
At last an irresistible force has met
an immovable object says the Boston
Transcript. The result, long a subject
Of scientific speculation, was that the
irresistible force got fined two marks
To make the phenomenon plain, let IL
be said that the immovable object was
Berlin policeman. The irresistible
force was a motorcyclist bound to the
Postdamer Bahnhof with sausages for
the Kaiser's Sunday dinner Down the
LeipZiger strasse he came at mad
speed, Fastening to deliver to the train
for Potsdam the meat which had sud
denly been ordered by telephone from
the suburban palace.
Patrolman Schneider caught the
ell-tale flash Of brown wrapping pa
per; he observed the messengers
speed; he deduced that a tradesman
was attempting to deliver goods dur
ing the closed hours Of Sunday.
Halt" cried Patrolman Schneider,
and the cyclist halted" Don't you
know that it is against the law to de-
liver merchandise on Sunday"
"Gewiss, but this package is for the
kaiser! Let me pass! shall miss the
train
Then it was that the irresistible
force took one good crack at the i'm
movable object Under the weight OF
Goodman Schneider's respect for the
kaiser, his respect for law reeled and
shook. But that the power of immov-
ability which makes Gibraltar OF ev-
cry German policeman was not to be
split asunder Schneider's stability re-
turned.
mo matter" he said You are un-
der arrest Come with me-"
The kaiser lost his sausages, the i'm
perial butchers were fined five marks
and no one lived happily at all.
Against this judgment the firm APP
pealed, and pleaded in court that its
action came under the exceptional
heading Of the immediate carrying out
of orders which were in the public in
terest. In support Of this contention
it pointed out that it only did much the
same thing as the railway authorities
who made special arrangements for
forwarding foods to Potsdam at all
times.
1t also mentioned that the sausages
and ham in question were for the use
of state dignitaries, but despite this
powerful plea the court confirmed the
fine.
Moreover, it was declared in the
judgment that the state dignitaries
could easily have eaten some other
ham and sausages on this occasion. 1t
was quite without Importance that the
giver of the order was his Imperial
Majesty the Kaiser, for in civil law he
held no special position.
The court also read the emperors
cook a moral lesson, remarking that
since every housewife had to make her
Sunday arrangements at the proper
time there was no reason why the kali
ser's cook should not do the same.

Knocking" His Maehine.-Wit and

touches both.
Introducing the money: young
man bought a cheap automobile-one
of those pieces of nicely adjusted junk
that snort, scream and howl for help,
accomplishing every known linguistic
feat except the singing of Greek
chorus. Then the youth formed the
habit of using the machine whenever
he went to call on his sweetheart.
The fact that excavating was being
done in the street where she lived did
not hinder him. The debris could not
impede him. He called regularly.
