The mime of Samuel Untermyer 1ms
been much n print In connection with
the life Insurance discussion of the
past year Ills connection with the
insurance situation at present is
iu tin capacity of counsel for the
International Policy Holders commit
tee which Is acting for persons in
sured in the New York Life and
Mutual Life companies in respect to
the annual election next December for

of the Mutual and New York Life a
full chance to exercise a voice iu the
reorganization of these companies and
in the carrying out of reforms in in
surance methods
In this contest Mr Untermyer finds
himself opposed to the Standard Oil in
terests which according to his own
statement are seeking to retain a grip
upon the Mutual Life through its pres
ent head Charles A Peabody yet Mr
Untermyer has acted as counsel for H
EL liogers vice president of the Stand
ard Oil company His knowledge of
corporation law has often led to his
being retained in the defense of corpo
rations but on the other hand he has
also been engaged by those who have
sought to prosecute corporations which
abused their privileges and he believes
many of the evils existing today in
connection with trusts and similar
combinations can be cured only by
government and municipal ownership

A WONDERFUL MEMORY
The Story Mnretan Told of a Yountc
Cora I en n Marvel
Maretus tells us that during his trav
els over Europe he met the marvel of
marvels at Padua The marvel In
question was a young Corsican who
was in the city for the purpose of pur
suing his studies at the university
Maretus having heard that the young
man was gifted with an extraordinary
memory desired to put the student to
the test
The person who had informed the
traveler concerning the wonderful re
tentiveness of the young Corsicans
memory declared that he was so gifted
in that faculty that he could repeat as
many as 35000 words if read over to
him but once Maretus and three dis
tinguished Venetians agreed to test the
accuracy of the statement A commit
tee visited the student of extraordinary
memory and found him willing to sub
mit to the ordeal Accordingly there
was read over to him an almost inter
minable list of words strung together
without any consecutive order and
without any meaning whatever
The young man stood all the time
witli his attention deeply fixed and his
eyes half closed When the long string
of words had been read off he looked
up cheerfully and repeated the whole of
the uninteresting catalogue of words
without a single fault Then to show
how carefully his wonderful memory
had retained everj word he went
through the list backward When that
task was finished he took each alter
nate word first third fifth etc and
repeated them until the company was
thoroughly convinced that they were in
the presence of the most wonderful
prodigy of memory that the world had
ever produced
KNOW THY COUNTRY
A Precept That Every Citizen Should
Take to Heart
Juvenal said This precept descends
from heaven know thyself To this
we add know thy country Know its
area its population its products na
tive and exclusive agricultural and
mineral Know its present output and
its possibilities Know its states its
territories and large cities and what
they are severally noted for Know
its geography and typography its con
stitution principles and history its
literature its art and its sciences its
philosophy discoveries and inventions
Know its relation to other nations
both political and financial Know its
possessions Alaska Hawaii Porto
Rico and the Philippines their history
severally the customs and languages
of their people and the sources of their
weaitn Many men know tuese things
nowand love their country and are serv
iceable to their fellow citizens in pro
portion to their knowledge It costs
labor and the sacrifice of so called
pleasure to acquire this knowledge but
to the genuinely manly man whose
lifes purpose is to make the utmost of
his abilities and opportunities and who
in one way and another is developing
his countrys hidden treasures and im
parting his own practical enthusiasm
to other lives there are a relish and a
delight in the search for knowledge
that compensate a thousandfold
The Woman In BnHlneas
A New York real estate agent has
been telling of some of his business ex
periences with women Mrs A he
says wanted to find a house that would
fit her carpets and wasted several
weeks on the job Mrs B had six
children of her own but wanted a
guarantee that no other children would
be allowed in the building Mrs C
signed a lease with a clause that no
dogs should be brought in and then
deliberately brought several into her
family and told the agent such restric
tions in a lease were of no account
Do you wonder he asks that men
do not like to deal with women Of
course however Massachusetts wo
men would never do anything like
that Boston Globe
An Ideal Bath
An ideal combination is to soap the
body all over using tepid water before
plunging into a cold bath But there
are many good folks who cannot face
a cold bath dally and who after taking
one are apt to be cold and shivering
all the day through For these the best
plan is after a warm bath to sponge
the throat and chest with cold water
which is most stimulating and espe
cially so where the bather suffers from
chronic colds To insist on a cold hath
is just as unwise as to have a bath
that is too warm and to remain in It
too long That is the more general
mistake
Her Word of Honor
Dont you love me
Yes dear but Im already engaged
Break your engagement
Oh George that wouldnt be hon

thing not lightly to be entered into or
broken off Besides
Well
Well Im engaged to two men and
that makes it even worse Cleveland

A Snob
Thackeray designated a snob as a
being on a ladder who is quite as ready
to kiss the feet of him who Is above
him as to kick the head of him who Is
below

polishes It No reproach is like that
