The Last Eight

Of the last eight persons for whom

cies in the Mutual Benefit Life Insur-
ance Company, five were unmarried
and none were over % years Of age
They all bought Mutual Benefit Insur-

rcctly. that there was none better,
that the best time to insure was while
they were young, in good health and
could get it. 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

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

She Hadn't Read lt.-They were
talking on the curiosity Of servants the
other night when Congressman Edward
e. Browne, of Wisconsin, said that the
twist in the conversation reminded him
of an incident that happened in su-
burban home.
Some time ago, he said. Mrs. Smith
summoned her negro maid to her room
and asked her if the postman had left
any mail. Belinda replied that there
was nothing except a postal card. "A
postal card" exclaimed Mrs. Smith,
wonderingly. who is it from?"
"Doan know, maam," was the inno-
cent rejoinder Of Belinda. Il didn't
read it."
We'll, it's just this" emphatically
declared Mrs. Smith. Anybody who
sends me a message on postal card
either very stupid or very thoughtless.
"'Scuse me, ma'am," quickly inter-
posed Belinda, with a hurt expression,
but does yo think dat's de right way
to talk bout yo own mother?"

Smiths Experiment. Congressman
Ellsworth r. Bathrick, of Ohio, joined
in when the talk turned to savage
dogs. He said he was reminded of a
party named Smith.
Some time ago Smith and a friend
were discussing the dog question when
the friend remarked that the most vi
ciuuS dog might be utterly subdued
merely by a person sitting down and
staring at him.
Right you are, old pal" was the
ready response. Il know, for l once
tried it on. Dog was coming at me al
the rate of Il mile a minute, and all that
| did was To sit down and stare al
him."
Il am glad to hear YOU say that" re-
sponded the friend. 1t is Il cOntrma
ton of what science has always main

Yes. old fellow" grinned Smith

Wasted MISUNDERSTANDING her

"Oh, yes, know all about your not

one wants to get off! I'll report you for

signaling the engineer, the conductor

was able to speak to the Jews, and
they weren't long in realizing and ap-
preciating our sad plight. They put
us up for the night, bandaged my leg
and my friends arms, and gave US
food and drink and money.
| Those Jews behaved like good Sa-
maritans, and for generosity commend
me to them. The next day they gave
us careful directions where to go. and
where not to go, how to get through
the town to the road to Tunis unob-
served, and finally equipped us with
an Arab guide to lead us there.
AS we followed the guide we drew
near to the famous Elkanta bridge.
The city is split into two portions
the Jewish and Arab quarters on one
rock, and the European on the other,
and the awful yawning chasm that di-
vided them was crossed by this bridge.
AS we passed over 1 looked down
and the sheerness of the gap made me
shudder; yet l made an involuntary
remark to my friend:
Sooner we lay dead at the bottom
there than be captured now!"
We saw the last of Constantine at
| 10 o'clock that night, and, to put it
briefly, arrived after two days tramp
through Sahara at Tebessaba, where
we filled our water bottles.
Soon after we left here we had
once again perforce to take to the
river. for we saw a great many natives
about with rifles, and we could not
make out what they were up to, but
to us it appeared very much like an
organized search for two deserters!
We discovered subsequently that
they were "chasers'' and were round
ing up game for European hunters to
shoot. but we were not aware of this
at the time, and hid in the thickets
awaiting results.
1 saw my companion look signifi-
cantly at his revolver, and l looked to
saw some Europeans leisurely stroll
up, sit down on camp stools, pull out
cigars and begin to smoke.
Presently; however my companion
a. hut In
stantly detected the motion, and their
rifles were raised in our direction. We
could see them through the under
growth, though they couldn't see us.
Don't shoot" 1 cried suddenly, I'VE
are human beings!"
With them was Count Trehenyi, who
is related to the Vanderbilts by mar
riage, and they consulted together as
to what they should do. They were
in favor of helping us, but, of course,
they couldn't do so openly, so when
Count Trehenyi suggested we should
be smuggled to Tunis in sacks they
usually put game in, we gladly COM
piled.
The sacks were of a sort of water
proof, and when we had each clam
bered into one, they put the dead
birds and rabbits in on top of us, had
us put on top of the motor car and so
we were taken to Tunis!
In Tunis we hid for a while in Pare
du Belvidere, whilst the Count Ire
henyi fixed things up with the consul
for passports, etc, and then this sec
ond group of good Samaritans saw us
safely shipped for Palermo.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

THE SPY IN WARFARE
Military Service that May Lead to
Glory or to Ignominious Death.

Glory or to lgnomlnlouS Death.
Military strategy recognizes the
strategem as wholly honorable means
of defeating the enemy. The straight
forward, frontal attack is primitive and
is made only as n last resort. Hence,
battle history has many a story of
flanking movements, feints and ambus-
cades, of bugle calls to imaginary bat
talions, of wooden Quaker guns
mounted to add apparent strength, and
of the massing of infantry under COW
or of cloud Of cavalry. Sea warfare
also has it's ruses. Many a hard-press-
ed ship has hoisted a foreign flag to
mislead her foe; false gun-ports were
often painted on the broad white band
which marked the battery; and a swift
frigate. apparently fleeing under full
sail, would sometimes trail sunken
drag-rope to reduce her speed and
thus draw the enemy within range. BY
age-long custom, then, 'all is fair in
war;" and in deception by strategem,
the end justifies the means.
The spy's work is simply an eXten-
sion of the principle to individual and
covert reconnaissance. 1t has served
all armies since Moses sent Joshua ito
spy out the land of Canaan" There is
no nobler story of our revolutionary
days than that of Nathan Hale. But,
while military law DEGREES the same ig-
nominious death to both, military opin-
ion differentiates sharply between the
infamous traitor or paid spy and the
daring officer who hazards all, when,
in disguise, he penetrates the enemys
lines Benedict Arnold lies in a name
less and dshonored grave; Major An
Dire rests in Westminster Abbey.
The spy is always a volunteer; the
possible ignominy of the mission for
bids that any officer or private soldier
shall he ordered to perform it. In all
our wars, however, fearless men have
fulfilled it when need arose. Admiral
Melville, the Arctic explorer when a
young officer, went as a civilian visitor
to the Confederate cruiser Florida, at
the risk of being hanged from her
yardarm. During the Spanish Ameri-
can war; Lieutenant Ward, of the navy,
inspected the dockyards Of Spain;
Lieutenant (now Rear AdmiraD Victor
Blue climbed the Santiago hills to OBJ
serve Cevera's fleet, and a daring army
officer carried the message to Garcia"
Finally the Vera Cruz dispatches state
that Major Butler, of the Marine corps,
recently travelled in civilian dress to
and from Mexico City, seeking military
information. These achievements merit
the greatest honor. The courage which
they require is higher attribute than
mere physical bravery on the firing
line.
