Fire ys. Life Insurance

Of the 12,000.000 or so dwellings In the United States 96 per cent are pro- teoted. at least to some extent, by fire insurance. But of our 100.000.000 in- habitants only Is per cent have taken out life insurance policies. Men seem to be more uneasy over the mere pos sibility of the burning of their houses than over the stern certainty that death will some day overtake them. This Is strange contradiction in hu- man nature. To safeguard the nations material possessions is well, but how much more valuable than the homes are the human lives of the country, in this age, when the principles of life insurance are so well understood, there should be no such discrepancy between the number of homes and of lives in- sured. In many instances the former could not be saved from foreclosure were the earners of incomes to pass away leaving their families unpr0vided for. It is as much the duty of every man to insure his life as to insure his property, and if he has no insurable property there is all the moro reason for insuring his life.

WOMEN ARE MORE
HONEST Than MEN
MERCHANT USES DIME BAIT TO
TEST THE HONESTY OF
HIS CUSTOMERS.
RESULTS WERE INTERESTING

Between the Two Sexes so Per Cent
of Men Returned Extra Change
While Only Half of the Women
Walked Off With 1t.
How many people would return a
dime that was given to them at a
store in excess of their rightful
change?
A merchant interested in human
honesty in small matters has just
carried out a test which show these
results, according to an Ellicottville.
N. Y, correspondent to the Sun.
That two-thirds of the persons who
notice the extra dime pocket it and
walk away; that between the men
and the women a little over 80 per
cent of the former are honest, while
the women are evenly divided, half
and half, and that 80 per cent of the
persons who get small change at a
counter do not bother to count it.
The Ellicottville merchant struck
upon the dime as the coin which
when added to a customers change
would excite least suspicion and at
the same time be of enough value to
test unconsciously his or her honesty.
So rs of these silver pieces were
given to the clerk to give to the first
rs customers getting back change.
The first person to buy, woman,
gave a bill of large denomination. In
the considerable change she received
was the extra dime. She took her
bundle in one hand and stuffing the
change into her pocketbook with the
other hurriedly left the store.
A man came next, who laid down
a half dollar for a ten-cent cigar.
Five dimes were his change. He
counted them surely enough, but see
ing the clerk engaged in other work
walked away without further words.
These two customers had been
watched by the merchant himself,
who was not visible. Neither of the
next two customers was careful
enough to examine the change, and
they went away without knowing
they were honestly dishonest.
The fifth, however, a woman,
counted the change as carefully as
though she were often cheated, and
perceiving the unexpected dime made
her exit quickly. 1t was only the
sixth person, this time woman, who
counted the change and returned it.
Of the 25 customers tested only
five others besides this woman went
back to the clerk to tell him he had
made a mistake. Of this total of
six four were men. Opposed to this
six were IL customers who knowing
ly walked off with the extra dimes,
nine of them men and two of them
women. One started at first to re-
turn his coin, but with a second
thought arranged things with his
conscience and walked of without
telling.
The character of the eight custom
ers who walked off without glanc-
ing at their change interested the in
visible merchant. Three were young
men who wished to make an impress
sion of carelessness with money.
Four were business men who honest
1y were in a hurry. The eighth, a
woman, was evidently thoughtless
and careless one.
The merchant was personally ac-
quainted with each of his customers.
All had regulations for integrity and
honesty. He is convinced that had
the amount been larger none would
have failed to return it.

Thinks He
 Can Defeat Willard In 20 Round Battle

Here is the latest from the pen of Dan Morgan, the New York boxing manager:
 There are three men, that really stand out who are able to give Jess Willard a battle. The names are Bat ting Levinsky, Jack Dillon and Gun boat Smith. Levinsky and Dillon are tho only two heavyweightsT who have never been knocked out, while Gun boat Smith has received a decision over Willard. Men like Coffey, Moran and Weinert are press agent jokes.
 'Levinsky, the c1everest of the trios whipped Bearcat McMa.hon twice, while ~McMahon! beat the champion easily at Youngstown, Ohios That is enough dope to give the Battler first chance at Big Jess. Levinsky feels that in 10 or 20 rounds he will make the big cowboy look like a hitching post.
 Battling Levinsky is the only heavyweight in the world who has real backing of $10,OO0 to meet Will lard from one round to a finish. The bigger they are the easier it seems for Levinsky to outpoint them. Now let Big. Jess many managers get busy and sign the Champion up with Le- whisky if they want the public to get a run for its money, and have them not be picking men like Fulton, Moran and sCoffey.''
