voltingly suggestive." Mr. Shaw ia un
doubtedly clever with his pen, but his
cleverness appeals niot strongly to
highly seasoned 'palate. The taste
which appreciate it ia analogous to that

appetizing when it is tainted, having
for it motif the bizarre disorders and
corruptions of modern society.

All the uproar about the great in
surance comanie has not had the re
motest effect in discrediting the real
value of insurance a an element of pro
tection and provision of, and for, the
human family. Men are paying up
their annual dues on policies; thousands
of others are taking out new policies,
and still thousands of others are waiting
the conclusion of the present inquiry,
to take out insurance, the wretetiea
nes of the system of conducting the
business is deprecated from one end ot
the land to the other, but just as soon
a the muddle i straightened out, there
will be an access of business that can
hardly be taken cane of.

part in the work of expostulation
against the nasty little tubular devil.
But the evil is growing. No one pre

worst offenders in this very matter, and
society is up against one thing it can

court of that state has just handed
down a decision ruling that the law
passed by the last legislature, fixing
a prohibitive license on trading stamps,
is unconstitutional. But the decision is
a nuisance of the worst type.

two years ago, there has been but two

Ironic courtesy of the dowager duchess
of Atholl: "Finding It Impossible to
prevent visitors to ber lovely grounds
at Dunkcld from scribbling their
names on ber favorite summer bouse
and elsewhere, she bad an attractive
white board put up, with a notice that
the duchess would be much obliged If
visitors would kindly write their names
on this board. , This request was gener
ally compiled with under the Impres
sion that It was complimentary. The
board was washed clean by the next
morning."
One of Miss Cum mlng's nieces of an
uncompromising Tory family became
engaged to the son of a Whig family.
The engagement aroused opposition In
dayi of strong party feeling. "Never
theless love carried the day, but ber
mother's parting counsel on the wed
ding day waa delightfully characteris
tic: "Well, danghty, you'll sometime
bear something good about the Tories,
and I'll tell yon what to do then. Just

The well known story of the cranes

told of a hanging which took place at

Just before the execution took place
(for It wu a public one) a stranger
came no hurriedly to the gallows and
said to the culprit who was about (0 be

directed toward their utterer, and soon
