The Cuter battlefield, near Crow Creek Agency, Mont., is being turned into a na tional Valhalla of Indian fighter. From oldtime frontier post throughout the wet the mouldering bone of men who gave their live that the white mane eiviliration might replace the savagery of the Indian are being brought to this smiling Montana country and will bav a final resting place under the hill stain rd by the blood of Cuoter and hi men of the 7th cavalry. The government baa been carrying on this work for some time, converting Custer field into a hall of frontier fame, but little or no atten tion baa been paid to it. Every far western post haa its stories of siege and hardship, of decimated gar risons and of brave men who have suf fered death in it worst form at the hands of a foe that recognized none of the rules of civilized warfare. To vouch for thee stirring tales of early days each .l k& t nnnia. nf , tm.ve. in most n.. unniflrket I cay and neglect. Sometimes there wijl be a row of wooden slabs, with the names of the dead soldiers painted there on, but usually even these frail evi dences of the care of the living have disappeared. A few years more and it would" be imposible to find the burial places of many of these heroes of army posts, and consequently the work of re moval to Cuter field is commended. Here each body gets reverent reburial, and a white marble headstone is erected to mark the spot. There is a government attendant to give each grave care, and overhead flies Old Glory. Surely no sol dier could ask a finer resting place than on this battlefield of a thousand memories, with the wonderful blue skies of Montana reflecting the deep peace of the broad, brown plains. Tom Lawson's most sensational ar ticle waa not as fwiwationa! as the evi- . ... dence that has been brought out at the inurance investigations ; ". j The determination of President Roose velt to have catupoigjia run on decent principle is driving the practical poli ticians to distraction. INSURANCE TOO HIGH. The coet of life insurance is to high. This is the conclusion to which Allan H. Willett, of Brown University, cornea at the end of an exhaustive article in the September number of the Political Science Quarterly. In the course of the article he explains elaborately the arith metic by which life insurance rates ought to be determined, and considers fully the rates maintained by the twenty-four principal American companies. Apart from all consideration of the very high expense of conducting the com panies and getting new business. Prof, essor Willett asserts that whether re sults be readied by an analysis of the eleraentse of the income of insurance 4-ompanies and the relation of each ele ment to the purpose to which it ia theo retically aligned, or by direct examina tion of the gaia and loss account of the insurance companies, the same conclusion is inevitable, that the premium rates are unnecesrily high. "With no improve ment in Ue methods and practices of insurance companies," says Professor Willett, "a reduction of 20 per cent er 25 per cent in premium rates is pos kible for a company managed with aver age care and efficiency, and ia ia every way desirable." But, as Professor Willett remark, H is not enough to bring the insurance rates down to the present cost-level the cost itself is too high. "It is demon treble," be aays, "that tome of the prac tices of insurant companies tend to in crease their mortality loss, that a high er net rate of. intenwt could be secured on their investments, and that the cost of administration is often extravagant ly high. Improvement in any of these particular would materially lower the cost of. insurance, and make possible a further reduction In premium rate, re sulting In a wider utilization of the bene- Nothing could be rot toner than tome of the New York life insurance com panies without having been longer under going the process of decay. TAKING NO CHANCES ON CONTAGION. Governor Blanchard of Louisiana was describing the precautions that a certain Veteran physician tyd 'taken against iue spread of a contagious disease. "Knowing the people he had to deal with," Governor Blanchard said, "he saw that hia ruleawere carried out before one of these people left their homes. They had tricked him In' the past. He would not be tricked again. He was like the Camden clergyman of my boy- "Ihia clergyman once married a cer-l tain huckster, who, after the ceremony, declared he was unable to pay a wedding fee, and so, willy nilly, the clergyman had to let him off. . "Soma years later tha good man found the same huckster before hint with an: other woman. OIi first wife had died. Now he desired to yoka with a second. "The minister waa willing enough to remarry the man, but this time ha would take precautions. , , "So, leading the bridegroom to one side, he held out hia hand and said in a lowjiiiicet "'Vae.' : . ""Oh, yes, of course, said the buck iter, confusedly, and he placed a bank note in the clergyman' palm. " 'Thank you,' said the clergyman, 1 -;k ti,., ii.r ' time. Now we will have the fee for this occasion, please."'

G rover Cleveland, Pierpont Morgan, James Ecklcs and otiien should also re jay the money taken from the govern ment by the secret bond sale. Where do the grafters go from Wash ington when they are fired, or do they remain' in the city with the expectation of becoming leading citizens? Life insurance managers might cover the whole ground by making tha claim that they have found it impossible to run an honest business in an hone-t way. Tiie president lias had a little experi ence with a yellow French reporter, and lias taken occasion to say some of the thing that other people at time think under similar circumstance. The presi dent leave no- doubt in the average mind as to what he would do with the said yellow boy if he was not handi capped by exalted office. It is now estimated that the Panama canal will cost a billion dollars. What is worse, it may cost a billion dollars to a certain that the canal cannot be con structed. But the world haa always wanted a waterway at tlie isthmus, and if the Americans fail it will then be ad mitted that the waterway cannot be constructed and the vessel owners will rest ea-y. WANTED THE PIECE THAT HELD THE KEYS. Selfishness, a ruthless selfishness con sideration for none but themselves, is tine great trouble with many of our cap tain of industry," said William Jen nings Bryan at a dinner In Milwaukee. "If the thing keeps on we shall develop an aristocracy as bard and unsympa thetic and cruel as that which a certain count once typified." Mr. Bryan paused and smiled. Then he went on. "This count traveled by train de luxe from Paris to Monte Carlo, and on his arrival at the gayest and most beauti ful of the Riviera town he sent for his valet. "The valet, it seems, haa preceded him on the journey, but the train had been wrecked and the poor fellow killed. This was explained to tlie caunt by bis courier, who ended tlie sad tale with the words: " 'Alas, sir, I looked my last upon poor Francois two hour ago. Hi corpse lies on the out.irt of Mentone, cut in a hundred pieces.' " 'Oh, very well,' said the eount 'Just go baac and fetch me the piece that con tain my trunk keys.'" Art Ton EngagecT Engaged people should remember that, after marriage, many quarrel can be avoided, by keeping their digestion in good condition with Electric Bitters. S. A. Brown of Bennettiville, S.

Mr. .lone in this contro versy prai-e modern play and sneers a little at modern actors, and Mr. Tree praises modern actor and sneers a lit tle at modern play. An American in London attended re cently a dinner wheie Mr. Jones told a story about Mr. Tree. 'Mr. Tree," said the playwright, "met a friend of his one afternoon on Re gent street. "The two stood and conversed a little while, and then Mr. Tree said: "'Have you been down to see ma act lately, my boy?' "No; too poor,' said the other.
