Birds in Attack.
Birds display great skill and cun'
nlng in the chase, the attack and in
guarding themselves from injury dur
ing the struggle for supremacy. The
secretary bird is the inveterate enemy
and untiring pursuer of the snake. All
sorts, even the most venomous, he
hunts with a zest that is at once in
teresting and amusing.
The snake flees from its foe, who
follows, watching every opportunity
for a blow. When the reptile turns
the bird uses one of his wings as a
shield and strikes with his foot. The
snake buries its fangs in the wing, but
leaves the poison in the plumage and
the bird escapes unhurt.
Repeated blows from the powerful
claw confuse and disable the snake,
and at last it falls, to be at once dis
patched by thrusts of the sharp beak
into its head. The bird then tosses
his victim into the air and, catching
it as it falls, swallows it.
When Women Rule.
Men manage men more successfully

truth is that men are juster, more
considerate and more generous than
women in dealing with their subor

LIFE INSURANCE AGAIN,
Some of the Bright Spots.
(Chicago Tribune.)
There has been much discussion the last
nionths upon what the press has
called scandals in some of the large east
ern life Insurance companies, and while
attention has been riveted upon the diffi
culties of these institutions the public has
almost grown to believe all are alike, and
are inclined to censure all for the short
coming* of the few.
In looking over the situation carefully
there seems to be some companies located
m the west that have neither speculated
in wall street securities nor invested in
them. All their assets, including both re
serve and surplus are Invested in first
mortgages on western improved farms,
the best security in the world, and draw
a good rate of interest. One such
company that certainly exhibits a clean
record, as shown by its reports, has its
nome office at Lincoln, Neb., and conducts
its business under the name of The Old
Line Hankers* Life of Nebraska. It is
nearly twenty years old. but has never
done much talking about itself. It has
grown conservatively and quietly and has
made progress each year along lines that
its policy holders approve. Practically all
of Its assets of a million and a quarter
collars are invested in first mortgages on
the best of farms, and not a dollar of
past due interest is shown in its report.
Its earnings last year for its policy hold
ers was more than 11 per cent on its
reserve, the cost for new business
written is less than any of the leading
life insurance companies in the United
states, and its death loss per thousand
was less by one-half than any of them,
unlike many companies organized in re
cent years on the remains of some de
runct assessment order or company, it
started originally as an old line com
ply. and has no assessment business
Weighing it down. Its surplus already
earned for its policy holders is in amount
equal to 33 per cent 01 Its entire reserve,
its statement of assets does not show a
single dollar of the many Items like
agency balances, bills receivable, premium
notes, stocks and bonds, real estate.
other assets,” etc., which make up a
considerable portion of the assets of many
companies, but it consists of money and
loans, and nothing else.
The public will discriminate more and
more In the future between companies,
not as to size, as in the past, but qualitv,
and tre one that can show a clean record,
and ability through conservative manage
ment to pay good dividends, will receive
in the future an increasing patronage
from that great conservative portion of
the public who are not looking for specu
lation In a life contract, but for protec
tion and reasonable returns on their in
vestment.
If the investigation of New York com
panies has done nothing more, it will
cause the western people to wake up to
the fact that, as illustrated above, they
have as good companies as any in the
world, capable of taking care of all busi
ness offered, and when taken managing it
as you would manage your own affairs,
and sliowing results that no eastern com
pany has up to date been able to dupli
cate.

EECORD OF LOYALTY
SPLENDID WORK OF RAILROAD
MEN IN AN EMERGENCY.
Enormous Amount of Traffic Success
fully Handled on Single Track in
Face of Heavy Handicap—Shows
Quality of American Train Crews.
The well-known writer on railroad
subjects, Mr. Frank H. Spearman, in
his book entitled, ‘‘The Strategy of
Great Railroads,” describes the sur
prise of the general manager of one
of the eastern trunk lines, on a hunt
ing trip in the north woods, who sud
denly found himself on the right of
way of a splendid, well-built railway
line, apparently of a construction and
equipment similar to the New York
Central or Pennsylvania, along which
thundered in quick succession heavy
trains of iron ore, splendid passenger
equipment and general freight service
of surprising proportions.
This was the Peninsula division of
the Chicago & North-Western Rail
way, which covers the' Upper Penin
sula of Michigan, including the hard
wood district and Lake Superior iron
and copper region, with a surprisingly
efficient net work of lines that con
nect the mines and forests with im
portant lake ports, and with through
rail service to and from the outer
world.
Along this busy ore-carrying line a
splendid exposition of the loyalty, in
telligence and general good team
work that can be expected of the aver
age railroad man and the efficiency of
the rules laid down for his guidance
in an emergency, was given a few
days ago, which so greatly pleased the
superintendent-and other officials that
the story has finally crept into public
print, and it is well worth repetition
in these columns.
It was alt occasioned by a very
heavy sleet storm that fell in the Up
per Peninsula a few days ago, which
threw down practically every tele
graph line in the region in a few
hours, and left the 464 miles of the
division absolutely without tele
graphic service for no less than forty
eight hours.
The ore movement has been espe
cially heavy this year, more lake Su
perior ore being transported on the
Great Lakes than ever before in the
history of the iron industry, and in
this emergency every mine would
have to shut down on account of the
shortage of railway cars to move
their product unless the road was
kept open in spite of the storm.
There was nothing that could be
done by the chief train dispatcher;
both he and the division superintend
ent were temporarily out of the game.
It was one of these emergencies where
the “man behind the gun” must make
good, or the case was a hopeless one.
And make good he did, in true blue,
loyal style, with that splendid initia
tive that makes the average train
crew typical of the qualities we ad
mire in our American troops.
There was no way in which to get
orders for train movements, no means
by which division headquarters could
be kept advised of where their trains
were, and to the onlooker, no means
existed by which the train crew could
keep track of the whereabouts of
trains in the opposite direction. It
was an emergency of the gravest char
acter. and was met with a splendid
exhibition of good judgment and in
telligent grasp of the science of rail
road operation that is perhaps without
an equal. They managed, on a single
track line, without telegraph lines, for
two whole days and nights, to ke°p
every iron and copper mine in the
district supplied with equipment and
moved all trains practically on time.
4.971 cars were moved over the di
vision Friday and Saturday, Oct. 20
and 21, and one hundred and twenty
five freight trains and no less than
thirty-four passenger trains were
taken care of upon the division, all
handled on time on a single track,
without accident, mishap, or delay
and without the help of a train dis
patcher.
Can anyone beat that record of loy
alty to employers, hard work and in
telligent grasp of conditions?
Any man who has ever handled the
train movement of a busy railway di
vision will appreciate how very much
Is involved in the work these train
men did, hurrying to and fro over
sleet covered cars, keeping cool, and
ready to meet every emergency by ap
plication of the operating rules pro
vided for their guidance.

mister?”
i “I'm deaf,” replied the gentleman.
“You’d better write down what you

piece of paper.”
“Deaf, is ’e?” thought the beggar.
“Then 'e didn’t hear about the paraly
sis.” So he wrote down: “I’ve got a
wife and six children starvin’ at home,
an’ ham in a dreadful state of dester
tushon.”
He handed the paper to the man,
who said: “I thought you said you
were paralyzed in both hands and
couldn’t grasp anything; and yet you
can write!”
“Did—didn’t yer say yer was deaf?’’
stammered the beggar.
“Yes, to find out if you were an im

replied the man.
“Well, of all the blooming frauds,

gar. “The hidea of yer sayin’ yer wras

And he shuffled off sniffing the air
with righteous indignation.

—A plain and straightforward story

bears the ring and stamp of truth
upon it. He says:—
“I was troubled for six months
with dull heavy pains in the small
of my back, sometimes it passed into
my stomach, at other times up be
tween my shoulders. When It was
in my stomach I was doubled up, and
hardly knew what to do for the pain.
I was advised to take all kinds of
remedies, and did so but without get
ting any relief. Then some one told
me to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I got
a box and began taking them. The
first few doses gave me relief, by the
time I had finished them all the pain
was gone and I have been well ever
since.”

A Hint for Little Tapers.
One night a man took a little taper
out of a drawer and lighted it. and be
gan to ascend a long, winding stair.
“Where are you going?” said the
taper.
“Away, high up,” said the man;
“higher than the top of the house
where we slee?.”
“And what are you going to do
there?” said the little taper.
“I am going to show the ships out
at sea where the harbor is,” said the
man; "for we stand at the entrance to
a harbor, and some ship far out on
the stormy sea may be looking for our
light even now.”
“Alas! no ship could ever see my
light,” said the little taper; “it is so
very small.”
"If your light is small,” said the
man, “keep it burning brightly and
leave the rest to me.”
Well, when the man got up to the
top of the lighthouse—for this was a
lighthouse they were in—he took the
little taper and with it he lighted the
great lamps that stood ready with
their polished reflectors behind them,
and soon they were burning steady
and clear, throwing a great strong
beam of light across the sea. By this
time the lighthouse man had blown
out the little taper and laid it aside.
But it had done its work. Through its
own light had been so small, it had
been the means of kindling the great
lights in the top of the lighthouse and
these were now shining over the sea,
so that ships far out knew by it where
they were, and were guided safely intc
the harbor.
PASSING OF PORRIDGE
Makes Way for the Better Food of a

for my husband, who had been an in
valid for over a year. He had passed
through a severe attack of pneumonia
and la grippe combined, and was left
in a very bad condition when they
passed away.
“I tried everything for his benefit,
but nothing seemed to do him any
good. Month followed month and he
still remained as weak as ever. I was
almost discouraged about him when I
got the Grape-Nuts, but the result
has compensated me for my anxiety.
“In the one month that he has eat
en Grape-Nuts he has gained 10
pounds in weight, his strength is rap

like a new man. Now we all eat
Grape-Nuts food, and are the better

began to use Grape-Nhts, and I have
no more doctor’s bills to pay for him.

cream, and find it the most tasty dish
in our bill of fare.
“Last Monday I ate 4 teaspoonfuls

Miss Bates’ New Role.
The story of Mr. Belasco’s new play
for Miss Bates, “The Girl of the
Golden West,” would indicate that It
possesses all that is necessary of both
heart interest and attractive ro
mance.
The central figure is that of a young
girl of the mines, the patron saint of
the miners. A child of the Sierras,
she tells you that she is happy as
the keeper of a gambling place and
whisky saloon, because her father and
mother were in the same business be
fore her. To this girl the rough
miners give a devotion that is Ideal
ly beautiful. It forms the background
of the one incident of the play that
is dramatically tense all through. A
“road agent” comes to the girl’s sa
loon for the purpose of robbing it. He
is the man of fate, for the two have
seen each other before for a brief
moment. The girl gives her love with
all the freedom and unconventionality
of the kind, though she keeps her
self. as always, unspotted. The road
agent is suspected, identified, and
tracked to the girl’s hut, on the moun
tainside, where he had gone upon her
invitation for a quiet supper together.
This act holds the dramatic climax
of Mr. Belasco's story. The climax
is a poker game, played by the girl
and the sheriff, who is also her de
clared lover. The stakes are herself
and the life of her lover, who has
been wounded and lies half conscious
across the table. The background is
drawn fine down to the scraps of
paper that litter the floor of that
truly Western cabin, with an Indian
squaw and her papoose, the dim light
of the tallow candles, and a most aw
ful snowstorm in the very height of
the love making.
All these things lie there behind
the great moments when the sheriff
with tense hands and furtive eyes
throws down his third hand, declar
ing he has won because he has three
kings. The girl has secreted in the
