When he died recently It wan ussumed Unit ho was worfii about $ 1 ,000,000. It appears that ho loft only $50,000. Tho president and directors, past or present, of itome other Insurance companies may speak of him as a man who fulled to utill.o his lino opportunities. If he had cho sen ho could have died a rich man. Ho had built up his company until It had a large business and ample resources. Ho could have got up trust companies to enrich himself at the expense of his policy holders. He could havo sold to his company at a high price securities which ho had bought lit a low prlco. He was aware of the meth ods of exploiting an lnsuranco com pany which were practiced by the men who had tho management of the af fairs of tho Equitable, but ho was too honest to copy them. 'Ho preferred to koep his self-respect Ho could havo found many ways of making money through his control or un lnsuranco company without running tho risks tho Equltnblo pcoplo did, but he did not avail himself of them. It would not havo accorded with his Ideas of tho duties of a trustee' and his delicate sense 6f honor. Col.

Ho left only n paltry estate, from tho standpoint of tho Hydes, tho Alexanders, and their (lnanclal friends who served as direc tor of tho Equitable. But ho died with an unsullied name, and an en vlablo record of long, valuable, nnd disinterested ucrvico to tho company ho controlled, tho lnsuranco business, and tho general public.

It hns long been claimed that Diabetes Is Incurable, but Mr. E. J. Thompson, teacher in the Hlnton school, has pleasing evidence to the contrary. Mr. Thompson had Diabetes. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and is etired. In a statement he makes regarding his cure Mr. Thompson says: "I was troubled with my kidneys for more tlian two years and was (rented bv two of the best doctors In this part of the, State. They claimed 1 had- Diabetes and there was little to bo done for me. Then I started to use Dodds Kidney l'llls and what they did for me was wonderful. It la certainly owing to Dodds Kidney Pills that I am now enjoying good health." Many doctors still maintain that Dia betes is Incurable, nut Diabetes is a kidney disease and the kidney disease that Doud s Kidney l'llls will not cure has yet to b discovered.

Of course, the fanatics' tell us that this is not so, that all this outcry Is tho outcome of misplaced sentiment and of lgnoranco of the true Inwardness of educational methods. But this wo know, that forced minds aro very like forced plants curiosities, perhaps, but not such as the experienced cultivator keeps as "stock." Nature Is very jeal ous for her nurslings. You may fool considerably with adult specimens, even to tho degreo of making thorn hideous: you may experiment almost Americana aro ordinarily innovators rather than followers, so that it must be deemed a llttlo surprising that tho souvenir postal card has only Just coma into popularity In tills country. It has been known for years In Europe. If wo have been a llttlo lato In taking up tho fad, however, wo have made amends by amplifying and extending It. The pictorial postal card of Europe was what Its namo Implies a picture of some town or monument or historic structure. Tho modern American card may bo anything from a half-tono plc tuo of tho Grand Can on of tho Colo rado to a certlllcato of membership In tho "International Liars Protective Association." Between these extremes aro found tho card humorous and the card instructive. There aro cards with comic pictures nnd facetious legends Two or threo young chicks, with the statcmeut "Just a scratch from Chi cago" or New York or Man Francis co constitute tho adornment or one card that Is very popular. A pig break Inir through a fence and the plea. '"Ex cuse haste and a bad lion," are lie features of another. These souvenirs aro supposed to contribute to tho sat isfaction and hilarity of tho folks at home and of friends at a distance Among tho Instructive cards arc pic tures of strange or Impressive seenci photographs of public men and of historic gatherings. Portsmouth, N. H.. has turned out a huge grist of peaco conference cards. President Roosevelt is profusely postal-carded. Naturally, tho advertiser has not been slow to tako advantago of the craze, and all sorts of enterprises, from trunk lino railroads to chowlug gum establish meats, are distributing postal cards with an eye to present publicity and future profit All is fish that comes into tho postal card collector's net and tho brewery "ad." finds a place beside tho really artistic picture of Niagara Kalis, Tho craze thus bids fair to leave philately far in tho .shade, since tho serious collecting of postage stamps Is a hobby which requires a good deal of money, while tho postal card enthusiast is limited only by his willingness to levy contributions upon his friends. Tho best of it Is that tho postal card craze is entirely harmless If It is not especially profitable.

Read the little book, "The Road t Wellvllle," la pkgs. During the four yearB that Judgo ilndsey has been on tho bench of tho Denver County Court his work among lellnqucnt boys has made him a na tional figure. It would be within tho trutli to say, declares a writer in Lcs- ie's Magazine, that Judgo LIndsey and his mntlnee court are tho greatest sin gle lnfluenco for righteousness in the State of Colorado. Tho problem of the children first came nonie to Judge Llndsoy in a strange way. Some Htreet gamins were brought to his court charged with rob bing a pigeon roost. As he talked with the trembling youngsters his memory umped back fifteen years to a time when another party of boys had planned to rob that same cote, and in tlie attempt some had been caught and some had escaped. Ho recalled that one or tnose noys nnu uicu ror nis country on San Juan hill, that another was "doing time" In the State peni tentiary, and that a third was now sitting in judgment on other lads whoso futures as good citizens or crimi nals might depend upon his wisdom in dealing with them. I Every Denver boy knows that he fvIII got a "square deal," that the "kids' Judgo" will stand by him long aft'.'r others have given hi m up, and so long s he has a shred of honesty left in him. This Intense loyalty calls forth a responsive loyalty on the part of the boys. Judge Lindsey gives several In stances of the boys' willingness to do their best to "stand by tho judge." Ho cays: 'Not to 'snitch' that Is, to tell la an unalterable part of the boy's code. Every manly boy responds to the call of this law. To bo loyal to It, he is often disobedient to the law of tho ndult For this he should not be con demned. Yet if the boy is rightly han dled, his fidelity to tho 'gang will make him more amenable to the law of the home, the school and the State. "One case was that of Tommy D., who ran with n gnng and finally got pinched.' Tho olllcers could neither persuade nor threaten nny Information out of stanch little Tommy. They called him sullen nnd dogged, and they nagged him to tho limit of endurance. Poor Tommy stood, between conilictlng obligations, his duty to his comrades and his duty to his superiors. In tho Juvenile court we recognized this, sym pathized with his loyalty, nnd ex plained the necessity of obedience. It was not two days before Tommy, with out giving us the name of a boy, brought in the whole gang to my court. To-day that gang counts for law. Its spirit Is no longer bad. They under stand the law and tho law understands them." Commerce nnd Pleasure. Next summer a fleet of passenger steamers will plow the waters of Onei da Lake for the .first time, and the charming region will be brought into touch with the world at large by means of a new local traction service. In a few years, It is confidently pro dieted, big barges will pass through the lake bearing the products of tho "West to the seaboard, much of tho traffic being diverted from Canadian waters. Oneida Lake was an Important high way of travel hundreds of years ago, when canoes were the red man's solo means of transportation. In peace mid war the Indian's canoe was one of his most valuable possessions, especially if lie dwelt in "Ka-Noo-No," or what Is now New York State. Upon Oneida Lake uie painted warriors of tho Five Nations launched their barks and went forth to conquer in all directions. For them it was a strategic bnse of opera tions, whence military expeditions could be carried on ny mutual uuau- nels Into all tho surrounding country. To this fact, perhaps more than to any other, the famous Iroquois confederacy owed its supremacy. Kour-iraca News. SUFFERING UNTOLD.
