ing to Mrs. John Sears, wife of a fer

that a man had died in seem

had revealed the fact that he had
amassed considerable wealth. From
the description and the circumstances
concluded that it was her father, who
had been leading a hermit life. It

Judge Sherwood has been called
upon to pass upon the validity of the
insurance policy held by the late
Peter Peterson in the Workmen lodge
Payment was resisted on the ground
that after the policy was issued Mr..
Peterson engaged in the liquor bust
ness, which is contrary to the rules
of the insuring company. The plain
tiff alleges, to Offset this contention,
that the regular dues and fees were
accepted by the lodge whose local Of
ficrs were fully aware of the business
in which the insured was engaged,
and that, therefore, the defendant is
estopped from setting up the facts as
the grounds for resistance. There
a fine point involved, and the decis-
ion of the court will be awaited with
interest, not only by members of the
order but by the public in general.

WHAT MAKES BuMsa
Opinion by DR.. Rainsford; Long Con.
ductor Of Missions.


Is the ragged, broken specimen Of
humanity who comes to your back
door for a "handout" a bum because
he chooses to be, or because he can't
help it? DR.. w. S. Rainsford, who
conducted a mission for buns In New
York for fifteen years and made q
special study OF them, attempts to an
swer the question In the Outlook.
"A large proportion Of such men,"
he says, come from the subnormal
element of communities. BY sub
normal, OF course, I mean the big
family of those predestined to failure
through no fault Of their ovn-those
who fail because they cannol keep the
pace set by their fellows; those whose
mental or physical powers are not
equal to bearing the average load
which life imposes on US all.
Multitudes there are of such, ard
we have taken little heed of them.

WHAT Is FRUIT
Learned Court in New York Ponder.
Over a TechnlcaIity.

What is a fruit?y This is such d
simple, almost silly question, that II
seems very easy to answer it. But 1T
is now one Of the great issues In the
New York courts. A person was M
rested for having sold vegetables on
Sunday which is against the law,
while it is lawful to sell fruits on that
day. The article sold was tomatoes.
The attorney for the woman took the
ground that tomatoes are fruit, and.
therefore, the woman was not guilty
Of any infraction Of the Sunday law.
The prosecuting attorney denied the
contention, and the court was asked
to make a ruling, The: learned judge

;! Except for northeast Montenegro. along the e; stern Servian- -Montenegrin frontier 1 and in the Isonzo sector of the Austro-

A dispatch from Athens asserts that the situation there is tense. 1 Advices from Copenhagen say the so- | cialist leader in the German Reichstag' l will ask the German government,t ito give 1 snformaton as to the conditions on which Germany would be ready to begin peace negotiations.
 l Exrlaining the position of Great Britain l with respect to the declaration of Lon

 adopted cnly with important modified

 in the adoption of the declaration, but
 1 he expressed the conviction that in all
 cases where the law courts had failed to

 1 ciole of arbitration should be considered. l The resort to arbitration for the settle n.ent of disputes was provided for in the | arbitration treaty concluded with the United States last year.
