In this enlightened beginning of the
twentieth century It HocniH hardly proper to
sny anything startling to business men to
Inrlte them to do their duty to their fam
ilies In the mutter of life Insurance. Yet
many good Itlzens neglect this proper pro
vlsli n fir the future until they aro unin
surable or death lias railed them from the
srene of their netlvllles. The prevalence
of miiillpox affords the reason for Impress
ing this eubjert upon the minds of readers
of this newspaper.

If tho application Is postponed. While
smallpox Is no longer so dangerous and the
present epidemic Is very mild, those who
are stricken with the loathsome disease
are alwayB badly frightened. It must
therefore be tho occasion of Intense remorse
to tho victim to find himself In quarantine
without having first made provision for hla
family. Hut smallpox Is not half bo deadly
as pneumonia ami Is more Injurious to the
sytitem from the Insurance point of view
than rheumatism.

This saying is trite but true. In the
matter of life Insurance It Is quite as im
portant as in religion. "We know not the
day or the hour" when the rail shall come,
and bo far as the benefit to the dependent
ones are concerned any tendency to disease
i r tho dregs of a fever or cold may make
Insurance Impossible. The important thing
Is to look after your life Insurance without
delay and to plare your policy with an
up-to-date, progressive, liberal home corn

Prof. Thomson, as he then
was one day discovered by a visitor ex

was In the midst of his deep-aea soundings.
"What Is that for?" asked the caller.
"Making sounds."
"Ah!" Bald the other, wth Jocular In
tent, "What kind of note does It give oft?"
"The deep C, of course!" replied the
scientist.
Illshop Potter Is accused of having given
currency to the following anecdote:
A Chlragran had been taken around Bos

had failed to exhibit any of those symptoms
of paralysis which are acceptable to the
Rostonlan mind.
"Now corfess." said the rtostnnliin host

Boston Is a unique town."
Representative McCJeary of Minnesota
tells a story of the man who was running
what Is known In that country aa a "blind
pig." In the east the establishment would
be known as a "speak-easy."
According to Mr. MeCleary, the man wa
arrested, tried, convicted and fined. He
went back and again engaged In the busi
ness. He was again arrested, again tri'd,
again convicted and again fined. He re
turned to hla Illegal business. After this
performance had been repeated several
times, the magistrate questioned him:
"How long." asked the mag'strate, "are
you going to keep this thing going?"
"As long." was the reply, "as there's 8
ctnts' profit In a 10-cent drink."
This tale was told by Judge Pennypacker,
In beginning a response to a toast at a Penn
sylvania-German banquet In Philadelphia.
The story, he said, showed the readiness
of the Pennsylvania Dutchman to obey
those in authority:
In 1864, Sheridan, under orders, burned
every barn from a valley above Staunton to
a certain point below Winchester. A band
of angry rebels followed this raid, watching
for a chance to pick up any stragglers.
Ajnong others who fell Into their hands was
a little Pennsylvania Dutchman, who quietly
turned to his captors and Inquired:
"Vat you fellows going to do mlt me?"
The reply came short and sharp:
"Hang you."
" Veil," he said meekly, "vatever is the
rule."
Ills goodnatured reply threw the con
federates Into a roar of laughter that saved
his life.
Many different persons find the beginning
of a conversation awkward, especially on
ceremonious occasions and with strangers.
Sometimes, however, the beginning Is not
half so awkward as what comes afterward.
A bashful young man on being introduced
to a woman at a dinner party, said:
'I've got to take you In to dinner. Miss
Travers, and I'm rather afraid of you, you
know. Everyone tells me you're Tery
clever."
The young woman was naturally amused
by this dlspKy of simplicity.
'How absurd!" she exclaimed, "I'm not
a bit clever."
The young man heaved a sigh of relief
and answered:
'Well, do you know, I thought you
weren't!"

their yarns. llVe the traditions of the In

to the next.
lears ago there was a brusque old ad
miral upon whom many storli s wer told
In most rases true ons.
At one time when the warship of which
the admiral was In command was iff the
coast of Portugal the king of that country
expressed a desire to visit nn American
man-of-war.
The admiral received the party wilh
great cordiality, but Instead of addressing
the royal visitor as "jour majesty" or
your hlchness" he mvariablv call-d him
"king."
It was "Step this way, king;" "Leek out
for your head, king," when showing him
about the vessel, and before hla majesty
departed the admiral convulsed all within
hearing by Baying hospitably, "King, corm
down In the cabin and have a drink "
While Iir. Stewart Webb Is traveling In
the far west his friends in Vermont are
keeping him In mind for the nomination
for governor, reports the Philadelphia
PresB. It was while he was courting his
wife (a daughter of William II. Vanderbili)
that Dr. Webb began his annual visits o
the Green Mountain state. To be near her h
paid a call upon the late William M. EvarU,
who owned a fine farm In Vermont.
Mr. Webb arrived at the ex-senator'e
house about noon on a very hot day. Lunch
eon was Just served in the dining room, the
table placed almost underneath a large,
old-faahloned fireplace. Among other
things on the beard was a cold ham, Btuck
all over with spices, which Mr. Evarts pro
ceeded to carve.
"Doctor," he asked, "did you ever hear of
the magazine?"
"Oh, yes," replied Dr. Webb. "I believe
It is something new they have Just started
over in Brooklyn."
"Well, doctor," continued Mr. Evarts,
"that magazine has written me to send
them something choice from my pen. 1
guess 1 11 send them a elice of this ham."
In hla talk to the members of the New
York Press club W. J. Bryan told these
stories:
"Whn I was nominated in -S6 a well
known republican said to me: 'If you stay
at home you'll be d.feated. but ml dis
graced. If you go out and work yi.u'll be
defeated, anyhow, but there II be nn re mor
tification attached to it.' Now another re
publican tehl me a story some time ago
I did not tell this in the campaign
(Laughter.)
"A certain man died, and, as no one could
identify him, he was taken to the morgue
Well, a man came up and Identified the
dead man as bis father. An und Ttaker was
got and arrangements were made fur a de.
cent burial. The corpse was put into a
casket and dressed. A napkin was tucked
under his chin. The son arrived to take
a last look at his father, ami In fixing tho
napkin under the chin of ihe ccrpse the
dead man's mouth opened and a set of false
teeth fell to the floor.
"The man who had Identified the dead set
up a howl that he didn't know the man now
because bts father never had false teeth.
The corpse was thrown Into a corner, and
the would-be claimant went over and ad
dressed It thus: 'If y'd kept yer mouth
closed, yer stiff, y'd a got a decent burial.'
(Laughter.)
"I've heard a great many remarks about
my mouth, complimentary and otherwise.
I was speaking once In a country town, and
I noticed during my speech a small man
sitting In front who watrhid me very In
tently. When I had finished he stalked up
to me. grasped my hand, and said In a loud
voice:
" 'Mr. Bryan, I've listened to and watched
a great many speakers, but you're the only
man I've heard speak where I could see his
back teeth all tha time. " (Loud Laughter.)
