OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1908 5 READ! What Mrs. Kate Tay lor has to Say About the World's Greatest . purely Health and Accident Insurance Go. Eugene, Or. Sept, 25, 1908. Continental Casualty Co., Portland, Oregon. Dear Sirs: I wish to thank you and the Con tinental Casualty Company for the $400.00 draft which you gave me today, which covers In full the claim for the accidental drowning of my husband, Arthur B. Taylor, In the McKenzie river recently. I have received most prompt and liberal treatment from your com pany; my husband had only car ried his policy with you for about forty days, and had only paid his first month's premium of $1.25 a short time before his death oc curred. You have given this claim Just as prompt attention as though my husband had been a policy holder with you for many years, Instead of so few days. I am in deed surprised to receive my check for $400.00 today, as I only sent you the final Droof naDers last Sat- urday night, Sept. 19th. I certainly can and do heartily recommend "the Continental Casu alty Company, and you as their district manager, to everyone who needs accident and health insur ance. Your comnanv 1iiHt.lv ria. serves theexcellent reputation they have for prompt and liberal treat ment to all Its policy holders and I sincerely hope that you will con tinue to have success in your work in securine new Dollev holdern In this territory and elsewhere. Again thanking you and your company, I beg to remain, Very sincerely yours, MRS. KATE TAYLOR,' Eugene, Oregon. 8igmund Ernest represents this company In Oregon City, and will remain here until the first of the year. He is well known to the people of this- city and will be pleased to write policies for any and all and explain the benefits to be derived from the same.

GRANT AND A. T. STEWART. Nomination of tha Merchant For Sec retary of the Treasury. It was not unnatural tbut in the ab solute absence of political experience President Grunt should not only liure bad much to learn concerning the na ture and coHduct of civil government, but that he should also bave hud much to unlearn of the mental habits and the ways of thinking be bud ucquirvU In the exercise of large Indeed, almost unlimited military command. This was strikingly illustrated by some re markable incidents. As usual, the nominations made by the president for cabinet offices were promptly ratified by the senate with out being referred to any committee But after this had been done It was remembered and reported to President Grant that one of the nominees so confirmed, A. T. Stewart of New York, whom President Grant had selected for the secretaryship of the treasury as a person engaged In commerce was disqualified by one of the oldest laws on the statute book iu fact, the act of Sept. 2, 1789, establishing the treas ury department. That this law, which provided that the treasury department, having the administration of the cus. torn bouses under Its control, should not have at Its head a merchant or lm porter in active business, wns entirely proper Indeed, a necessary one had never been questioned. The next morn- lng, March C, I bad occasion to call upon President Grant for the purpose of presenting to him a congratulatory message from certain citizens of SU Louis. I found him alone engaged in writing something on a half sheet of uote paper. "Mr. President," I said "I see you are busy, and I do not wish to interrupt you. My business can wait." "Never mind," be answered, "I am only writing, a message to the senate." My business was quickly dis posed of, and I withdrew. In the course of that day's session of the senate a message from the presi dent was brought in in which, after quoting the statute of Sept. 2, 1789, the president asked that Mr. Stewart be exempted by joint resolution of the two houses of congress from the op- eration of the law which stood in Mr. Stewart's way. There were some signs of surprise among senators when the message was read, and Mr. Sherman at once asked unanimous consent to Introduce a bill In accordance with the president's wish. But Mr. Sumner ob jected to the Immediate consideration thereof because of Its great Importance. This stopped further proceedings, and the bill was laid on the table, never to be heard of again. Carl Schurz's Reminiscences in McClure's. Miles and the Reporter. "General Nelson A. Miles always did like to have fun with new reporters," said an old newspaper man. "I re member some years ago he told an un fortunate Washington correspondent a long story about a new gun metal that some genius was supposed to have Just discovered. It was a wonderful alloy which was as tough as steel and as light as aluminium. By Its use, the general said, It would be possible to build guns which would weigh no more than the Immense projectiles which they fired. "The correspondent was delighted and went off and wrote a beautiful article, which produced spasms of laughter throughout the entire artil lery service. You see, it doesn't re quire a very profound knowledge, of ballistics to know that If a gun and projectile both weigh exactly the same amount they would fly in opposite di rections with exactly the same velocity when the-piece wns fired." City of Mexico Street Cars. The street ear system of the city of Mexico Is a fine oue, but here Is one arbitrary rule that strangers must learn as soon as possible that Is. the cars do not stop except at certain points, where j-ou will notice the elec tric light poles have a band of white painted on them. These - stopping places ore very close together In the crowded parts of -the city, so you must look out for tjem. You are expected, too, to enter at the back and go out at the front door. Apart from this, the conductors will be found courteous, ever ready to tell you tilings and a lous to assist you. Houston Post, No One Questions It. An automobile party was tourii. through a mountainous district of ot of the states and had unule a stop i one of the small towns to make son repairs to the machine. While the waited the attention of one Of the par ty was called to an intelligent lookir lad of about fourteen who seemed to b very much Interested in the work ant. of whom the following question was asked: Say, son, what do you live on out here?" "Nuthin." replied the somewhat sur prised youth. "Dad's a preacher." Judge. Object, Matrimony. I want to put au ad. In your paper," said the weary looking man. "Make It, Wanted, a situation auy old Job." "Shall I say 'wages no object?' " sug gested the clerk. "No; make It 'object matrimony.' If I could get acquainted with a decent Job I'd be willing to marry It for 'ins." Catholic Standard and Times Gaining the End.
