down on the little downy crown Of
my baby's head I whispered Rich.

about me holding us both--his baby
and his wife-ciose To him.
kept thinking OF things would
tell him when he came home at
night And even tho I repeated to
myself "Dick Is dead" yet could
not realize II.
One day I caught few words be-
tween Mollie and the nurse. and
knew that there was some trouble
that they did not want me to know
about. But made Moilie tell me. II
seems that the moment | was taken
sick. Mother Trent began to run ev-
erything. and only that morning the
old housekeeper had told the nurse
that. much as she loved me. she was
going to tell me as soon as | got
well I must find some one else TO
take care Of the house. as she could
not possibly take orders from Mrs.
Trent
Now don't worry. MarRie.r said
Aoilie. FOR / am going to take moth
cr home with me. oh. why can't
she just mind her own business. /"
she exclaimed despairinRly.
The next morning Mother Trent
Insisted upon seeing me. and. as /
was regainlng my strength rapidly
told the nurse to let her in. /
thought might "a well have 1t over.
The first words Mother Trent said
were: "well. Margie. | am glad to see

seem possible that any one could do
such a strange thing. Then ! said.
you have indeed taken "A great lib

madame that she need not come"
"oh," Mother Trent said rather
blankly. you have already ordered
TT"
II am not going to wear mourn

"What?"
you heard me; / am not going to

what will people say?"
II am sure I don't know and I
care less"
They will say you never cared for
your husband and that you were
glad when he passed out"
II wish, Mrs. Trent for then and
there, little book. I came to the con
clusion / would never call her moth.

sharply.
And do you mean you do not

TORNADO INSURANCE.

The cyclone which destroyed the
farm buildings west of Denison on
May 81, 1913, gives the insuring public
ample opportunity to witness the man
ners and method of how old line or
stock fire and windstorm insurance
companies handle and pay losses.
The particular case of the wind.
storm insurance upon the dwelling
and contents, as well as the automo.
bile, of Mr.. Frank Houlihan is an ex-
cellent example Of quick payment.
This insurance on dwelling was writ
ten by two different agents, one pol
icy in the old line company was writ
ten by Richardson Bros, OF Denison,
Iowa, and the other policy was writ
ten in the Mutual by another agent.
The insurance written In the old
line company, by Richardson Bros
agency, was adjusted and Mr.. Hou1i-
han was paid in cash by these agents
within ten days after the cyclone, and
while the loss in the mutual company
was also adjusted In the same time.
owing to the necessity of the mutual
company having to make an extra
and somewhat larger assessment than
usual upon their policy holders, the
cash due Mr.. Houlihan from the mu-
tual will be paid at some time within
the next sixty days. There was mot,
Of course, an extra assessment on the
old line policy, as when this policy
was taken out it was paid for, for q
full term Of five years, and no assess
ment can be made upon 1t.
The manner in which the loss was
80 quickly taken care of and paid by
Richardson Bros. is only one more OF
= number of losses that this Denison
firm have settled in cash, within a
very short time after the loss, and
shows the quick and efficient service
that this agency is furnishing on pol.
lcies written by them, and 1t is an ex-
,ellent recommendation to anyone
who wants cash settlement at the
time cash is wanted to rebuild build
lngs which have been destroyed by
ire or wind. 28-1t

MADE MALTA A GARDEN.
The Island Was Once Merely a Rock
In the Mediterranean.


In the Mediterranean.
What Malta was like before the
Maltese found it one cannot imagine.
says the Manchester Guardian. Pre-
sumably there was some soil some
where, hidden among the little valleys
that scar the golden rock. But there
was very little soil. Most of the island
must have been just plain rock, with
nothing in particular to recommend it.
But somewhere in the dawn of his
tory there came an Industrious, in
genious race and proceeded to make
the best of it. They have been doing
that all down the centuries, till now
: they have reduced it to a fine art, and
the barren rock is garden from end
to end.
They realized, those clever Maltese,
that, although they might not have
earth enough to grow their food, there
were plenty of people who had enough
and to spare. So they sent their ships
abroad, and the ships came back load
ed with just plain earth This earth
they took and spread on the lodges of
their rocks and sowed their seed and
reaped their harvests and prospered ex-
ceedingly, till now fruits and flowers
might be fitting name for the island.
