Quanrud Says
LAIR FIRST DEALER IN CITY

Thirty years ago no automobiles
could be seen parked on the streets
of Bismarck. These self-propelled
vehicles were still in the experimental
stage. Besides, the people out here
in the newer west we're not ready for
them: they had no paved streets or
hard surfaced roads. However, the
faint rumblings of the coming auto
motive age could be heard even at
this distance, and all occasional news
paper story about the pioneer builders
and their products would catch the
fancy of someone with q mechanical
turn of mind.
Thus is was that Francis Jaszko-
WAX, known to his friends in Bis
marck as quite a tinkerer," set about
to usher in the new age by building
himself a horseless carriage. That
was in 1899, a period of American
history which is becoming known as
the closing chapter Of the horse-and-
buggy era.
Jaszkowiak bought himself a brand
new buggy gear with irontired wheels,
built a body or it and placed an up
right, one-cylinder gas engine in the
center. A seat was placed back Of
the engine and the gas buggy was
steered by means of a tiller. It was
fitted with a chain drive.
The outfit would travel at the rate
of six to eight miles an hour on the
level. but had to be pushed up hill.
The engine had no muffler and made
an unearthly racket. When the out
fit approached, children ran into hid
ing, thinking the DOGGY man was on
q rampage. It also scared the horses,
and there was an occasional rum
away.
The inventor was able, on a few &C.
casions, to drive hts horseless wagon
as far as the penitentiary. and there
were not a few who hoped that the
authorities would detain him out
there. Nothing daunted. Jaszkowiak
built a better chain drive gas buggy
with solid rubber tires the next year;
and two years after that he sent for
parts and built a real automobile,
with pneumatic tires and all the then
modern accessories.
When the Autos First Came
Something over IS years ago a few
venturesome people in Bismarck and
western North Dakota decided to risk
their lives and regulations by pur-
chasing some OF the new automobiles
then being advertised. There we're
about a dozen makes 20 choose from.
most of them powered with heavy gas
engines Of one or two cylinders.

FIFE INSURANCE-LONDON
 LLOYDS.

Indemnity for losses caused by fire
 ay be had under the following vari- ous methods: L.oyds, Reciprocals, N ltuals, Self-Insurance, Stock con- a. ies.
 The original Lloyds of London is the oldest insurance organization in the world. The oldest company is .he Sun Insurance Office of London
 London Lloyds for long time con- ..ned it's activities to marine insur- ance, and even now about 60 per cent of it's total business is marine, all though it will, for what it considers an adequate premium, issue policy against almost any conceivable con- tingency. Among other things it will issue a policy against the contingency of woman giving birth to twins.
 This organization is composed of upwards of two thousand individual underwriters, divided into groups of ewo or more, and in which some one -eGA+tDS4 GtItol -li-1dCC 4OI lil Many of these groups, called bureaus, contne their activities to certain ines.
 The members have to be of the highest standing. Their accounts are all audited by the ruling committee, which requires that each one shall keep on deposit ample funds to meet all commitments, and every member has his entire ofrtune at stake.
 The greatest disadvantage of a London Lloyds policy in this country lies in the fact that but few of the bureaus are authorized to do busi- ness in the United States-none are in Alaska-and in case of any dis pute, and disputes will happen, they can only be reached in the English courts.
 In other words, the policy holder is utterly at the mercy of the adjuster, and must accept whatever is offered.
 The best insurance, and the cheap est in the long run, is that written by stock companies that do not cut rates.

FIND FORTUNE. IN CASH
 BOARDED BY AGED WOMAN

NE WYORK.-A little old lady of 93 years wondered today why the law should take her hoard of $400,000 in cash from it's numerous hiding places in her modest hotel room.
 q don't want anybody to take care of me-" said Mrs. Ida E. Wood, who once reigned over Fifth avenue salons and danced with King Edward VII when he was the crown prince. 'I'm 93 years old-and that's old enough for me to take care of myself"
 The money was revealed yesterday when officers, acting under court order declaring Mrs. Wood incompe- tent, searched her quartes at the Herald Sqquare Hotel
 Mrs. Wood surrendered her treas ure leluctantly.
 There were bills long since out of circulation.
 Although she was openly displeas- ed that any court should think her unable to attend to her own business affairs, Mrs. Wood did not become angry as she, did a few weeks ago when she produced sugar bag con- taining $50,O00 and turned it over to tn administrator of her affairs
 Mrs. Wood, sprightly despite her years, is only five feet tall. She has lived alone for many years. Her hus- band, one-time owner and publisher of the New York Daily News, was a prominent democrat.

 Selections from the Bible include the following passages from l Peter 3: 8-11, 13: Finally. be ye all of one mind. having compassion one of another, love as brethern, so pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil. or railing for railing: but con- trariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that we should inherit a blessing For he that will love life. and see good days. let him refrain his tongue from evil and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace. and ensue it. And who is he that will harm you. if ye be followers of that which is good?
