HE IS A CHAMPION
Calvin S. Troupe a Wizard in Insurance Business—Sketch
of the Man Who Wrote the Largest Policy Uver
Recorded in the I'nited vStates.
- SOME WAYS OF LOVE.
ALVIN 8. TROI'PE
of Baltimore bears
the diatlnction of
being the first man
to write an Insur-
ance policy amount-
ing to more than
flOO.OOO In any one
company In the
world. Mr Troupe
s also dlatinRuish-
_ ed as being the on-
ly American who ever bad the privi-
lege of interviewing the Prince of
Wales on the subject of insurance. This
successful solicitor began his career >n
the Insurance Held twenty yeara ago
and has since then written policies
which aggregate the grand sum of $^1.-
540,000. Twenty years ago Mr. Troupe
started out aa an Insurance solicitor
In Chicago.
Prior to three years ago it was im-
possible to procure more than 1100,000
Insurance In any one company, but the
company represented by Mr. Troupe
took the Initiative in granting Inrger
risks, nnd the first man Insured tinder
the new rule was Col. Julian Carr of
Durham, N. C. Mr. Troupe succeeded
In writing n policy for this gentleman
to the amount of $.100,000 and another
for his wife and brother amounting to
$100,000 each The funoua Vudcrblll
$1,000,000 policy tii also aotteltsd by
CALVIN S. TROUPE.
Mr. Troupe, but he failed to write the
same, as Mr. Vanderhllt personally ap-
plied for the policy at the offlce of the
company, and this policy stands today
aa the highest policy carried by one
man in a single company. Among oth-
er large policies secured by Mr. Troupe
are the following Mrs. H. N. Duke.
Durham, N. C., $250,000; R. S. Craw-
ford, Hagerstown. Md., $300,000; I. 8.

HARVESTS OF BEAUTIFUL HAIR
Uatliered from tha Lock* of Karopaan
I'rtHDti.
W'omen with scanty locka ought to
like to know that there are hair har-
vests, just as there are wheat harvests!
The Idea does not sound very nice, but
that It Is useful we must all agree. The
hair harvest Is a much surer crop than
the grain one. It does not depend on
the weather. To leave that aide of the
subject, most of the hair women wear
comes from Switzerland. Germany and
France. There la a human hair market
In the lower Pyrenees held every Fri-
day. Scores of hair buyers walk up
and down the village streets, their
shears dangling from their belts, and
examine the tresses which the peasant
girls let down for their Inspection. If
a bargain is struck the hair Is rut and
the money paid on the- spot. These
girls have fine hair. Strangely enough,
peasants often have mueh better locks
than highly educated women. Civili-
zation does not seem to care for heavy
hair. That which is cut off by the
dealer himself Is the best. Dealers can
easily tell whether the locks offered
them have been cut or combed out.
They do this by rubbing the hair
through their Angers. If the hair has
been cut from the head and has not
been mlsplacrd It remains In the or-
iginal position. If It has been pulled
or combed out and put together, re-
gardless of the direction In whlrh It
grew, one portion will slip to the
right and another to the left. It does
this because the Jagged edges catch
upon each other and pull In opposite
directions.

Mr Single'on- Falling la leva Is
nonsense It doesn't follow that a fel-
low won't do it. all the same I was
very near doing it myself, ouce upon *
time. She had a way of looking down
when you were talking to her and of
looking up when she wasn't looking
down Ah' different Rlrls have dif-
ferent lines. Hers was the domesticat-
ed. "You really must try this salad.
Mr Singleton.'' hei mother would say,
Louise made it." Or. "Do have an-
other piece of Louisa's pie; the dear
girl will be so disappointed If you do
not appreciate her cooking."
As for l/ouisa'g pastry well, it need-
ed no pressing. If 1 had started the
rourtiug business seriously and gone
there every evening I should have be-
come a confirmed dyspeptic, bo irre-
sistible were its attractions. Unfor-
tunately we are so constructed that we
like everything that is not good for ua,
and 1 . But I am digressing. Also,
Louisa was singularly accomplished at
sewing. Putting on a couple of but-
tons was nothing to her, I found. You
may smile! Perhaps you haven't tried
tewing on buttons? I have and I know
the difficulties.
What with the cooking and the sew-
ing and the looking up and the looking
down, it was nearly a ca*e with me.
I got to going there three times a week
and was thinking of an excuse for
making It four, when an aunt fell ill
and Louisas mother went away to
nurse her The night after her depar-
ture I went to supper aa usual. There
was no oil In the salad, the pie wasn't
half done and the pie cruet—ugh!—I
can't bear to think of it! Then the
truth dawned upon me. Louisa's pas-
try was made by Louisa's mother.
The shock -and the pastry—so upset
me that I didn't call for several days.
Then I rallied. At any rate, Louisa
could sew. I reflected. You see, 1
wanted some excuse to marry her, so
I went there again. She greeted me
with a reproachful coolness. "I thought
at any rate you would come round for
your shirt," she said; "I have sewn the
buttons on the collar."
"Oh, Louisa!" I began—I was about
to take her In my arms when my
eyes lighted on the button. It was
black; It was made of metal; it was
ten times too large! It was, In short,
the kind that my tailor uses for—er—
other garments! So I escaped. It was
providential. But sometimes I think—
you see, she had a very nice way of
looking up—and down.

AFTER GRACE.
A curate once courted a nice little
mtss,
Grare by name, and by nature a sin-
ner;
He never dared ask for "Just one little
kiss,"
I P'raps he thought by hla preaching
to win her!
His most passionate speerh, when they
sat down together,
Waa "A very fine day." or "Most
singular weather!"
"Ah, me! He Is vowed unto sllenre,"
she cried;
" 'TIs my mission to make him ab-
jure It;
Fa must ask him to dinner; Ml alt by
his side,
And I really should think I could
cure It!"
So he came, and they all tried their
hardest to make
Him really at home; to Insure It,
He was seated by Grace, and, his si-
lence to break,
Said her father (who couldn't endure
It)—
Forgetting the "blessing"—"Now what
will you take?"
"I should like to say—Grace

All the same, I couldn't get him ti
say much more than "yea" or "no" to
me, till one evening he came round to
show the mater and pater a little
bronse figure he had won at some
sports—sueh a dear little pug, with a
saucy little far that seemed to scowl
and laugh both at once
"Oh!" I cried Isn't he lovely! I
am so font! of doss!"
"Do you really like him. Miss Flos-
sie?" he said. e.-.gerly. "I don't want
It. We've got such a lot at home. Do

He put it right In my hands: and
when ma said. Certainly not!" in her
most emphati tones, he only laughed
and took up bis cap and ran away. Ma
said that the pater would be sure to
make me send If back; but he didn't—
only pinched my ear and said some-
thing about "beginning In early days'
After that, of course. I felt I must be
nice to Fred; but he was so aggravat-
inRly shy that I didn't know how to
thank him. Rut a few evenings later,
when I had l>een playing tennis with
him and the boys—they were awfully
tiresome coming home, and at last they
ran away from me Fred didn't go
with them, so we walked home togeth-
er. He kept looking round him uneas-
ily. and I was afraid that In a minute
he would follow. However. I told him
I was afraid to go through the lane
alone, and then he said he would come
with me.
"You needn't unless you like, you
know." T told him I don't want to
bother you."
"Oh. no!" he said. "I—er-you—er—
I should like to."
"That's a story," I said.
"No. It isn't." He stuck his hands
In his pockets and had another look
round. Boys are so funny!
"Won't you be frightened?" I asked.
"No-o." lie fidgeted with his rac-
quet. "I don't think I'm frightened of
many things."
"Oh. but you are!" He looked sur-
prised.
"What sort of thing-*?"
"Poor, harmles* little things." I said,
demurel?. "that w ouldn't burt a fly."
He looked at me doubtfully.
"How do you know I'm frightened?"
"Because you blush."
"You mean I'm shy with girls, don't
you?" I couldn't help laughing. It
sounded so comical.
"Oh. dear, no." I said. Then I
laughed again.
"Perhaps," he suggested. "It's a good
Job I'm shy. If I weren't you might
think me too bold."
"Oh, no. I shouldn't!" I looked up
at him Just to mike him blush as
usual, you know, and if he didn't sud-
denly stoop down. Just as I looked up.

Of course. I hadn't the least Idea
that he would do such a thing! I

STRANGE SEAHCH BY POLICE.
Sleuthing Pari* Not for a Criminal, hot
an Honest Man.
At the present moment the police of
Paris are engaged on rather an un-
usual task. They are in search of an
honest man. not like the Greek philos
opher of old, In a skeptical spirit, but
for the very reason that he has fur-
nished striking evidence of his integ-
rity. As a matter of fact, when this
Interesting Individual shall be found
he is to be provided with a post in the
service of the prefecture. It Is a
touching story, which reflects the ut-
most credit on all concerned. Re-
cently Mme. Blanc, the wife of the pre-
fect of police, discovered on her re-
turn from a visit to Passy that she had
lost her purse, containing nearly 200
francs, and ascertained to her satis-
faction on the following morning that
it had been brought by a stranger to
the office of the local commissary. The
lady made kind Inqutrles about this
person and an investigation showed
that he had been living in a small
hotel in the neighborhood, but that a
few hours before he tame across the
money he had been obliged to leave the
house, as all his funds had been ex-
hausted. The poor fellow had been re-
duced to the utmost destitution, but
he had manfully resisted the tempta-
tion. if, Indeed It occurred to him at
all to appropriate the purse and Its
contents, which he had conveyed ab-
solutely Intact to the office. When she
learnt that this honest man wa* wan
dering about homeless and without the
wherewithal to buy even a morsel of
bread Mme. Blanc was deeply moved,
and she not only lost no time In ask-
ing her husband to Institute an active
search for him. hut begged the prefect
to keep one of the places at his dis-
posal for Iiouis Dubourg, and Bhe
added; "As soon as he is found let
him have the 184 francs. The money-
would burn my fingers If I took it
bark under such conditions." So It
has eome about that Instead of being
eagerly on the lookout for someone
who has come Into collision with the
law its ngents are searching high and
low for the perpetrator of a meritor-
ious art. So far their efforts have not
been crowned with success, but It la
to be hoped that kind-hearted Mme
Riant will not be kept long In sus-
pense.
The Vervain riant.
The plant known as vervain, which
la not distinguished for Its beauty, and
which grows now-a-days utterly disre-

BICYCLES NOT BAGGAGE.
So Decide* an Kngllsh Court and Rsllwsy*
Can Collect.
A test case of great Importance to Kne-
llsh bicyclist* which, curiously enough,
was the tirst of Its kind submitted for de-
cision. was decided at l.ondon recently.
The uuestlon whs whether or not a bicycle
was personal baggage und whether or
not. accordingly, the railways were re-
quired by act «.f Parliament to carry It
without extra charge, the passenger being
by law entitled to a certain weight of per-
sonal baggage frc. The plaintiff sought
to recover tile sum charged by the com-
pany for the trans|H>rtatlon of a bicycle,
which It declared was extra baggage.
The counsel for the plaintiff contended
that the wheel was clearly personal, as it
was something which the traveler carried
for his own personal convenience and use.
There was no distinction. It was argued,
between a bicycle and a gun case, a case
of fishing tackle, an artist's easel or a
pair of roller skates The railway com-
pany argued that a bicycle was not an
article Which a person ordinarily took
about with him. If a bicycle were to be
regarded as personal baggage. It was
urged, then a boat forty feet long would
have to be so regarded and carried free.
The court held thai .i bicycle w as not per-
sonal or ordinary baggage, and that the
railway company was entitled to make
charge for Its carriage.
