preliminary hearing before Justice
Bailey, W. P. Harris of the Security
Mtaual Insurance Company, who is
charred with receiving money under
false bretenses was bound over to'
the district court for trial Monday.
His bond was fixed at $1,000.
Harris was arrested here a week
ago on complaint of State Insurance
Commissioner T. J.M Comb of Guth-
rie, who charged that Harris' p ac-
tice in soliciting and writing insur-
ance did not meet the requirements
of the state insurance laws. Mr.
Comb charged that Harris was prom-
oting the business of his company
without authorized financial and legal
standing. The greater portion of the
company's business, according to
McComb was of the mail order sort.

that purpoee had been made, and
touched one of the electric wires
which makes the motive power for
the machinery. Tbe body was taken
today to Neodasl^ Kans. for Jburial.
The family bed recesitiy moved from
that place to Oklahoma.
TAKEN ON
TRIAL
LIFE WELL WORTH LIVING.! DO WELL WITH THEIR FARMS
The maa whirled about.
"I'll try you for a week," be
snapped, "and your pay will be $10."
The girl paused on her way Lo the
door.
"Thank you," she said. "I expect
to make myself .worth more tharf
that."
When he came down the next morn-
ing and tramped into his office, be
found the girl seated at her table, her
brown head bent over her work. He
was Just a little surprised to And her
there. Persons he had engaged had
a way of promising to come back and
failing to do so. He knew tbat he
was to blame for this, and he rather
gloried in the thought. But here was
this straage girl at bar place and look-
tag as If she meant to stay there. She
waa a neat-looking girl. Her hair waa
My aad there waa a Mt of white
about her neek that softened the ef-
fect of the blaek frock. Aad In a
little vase la front of hot was a Sow-
er—a red lower of some klad—a low-
er he toM himself, that looked
strangely oat of place la the dingy
room.
AH ties the man suddealy stared
about Mm. Both the windows were
spaa, aad they were cleaa, aad the
•aaehlae waa etreaaalag la. And there
was a gaasral atr of frosts ess a tost
the place that was ««ite amaslng—aad
the odor st steadiness waa fairly pim-
gsat.
"Good ■ornlag," said shs swsstly.
This girl was going altogether too
far. What did shs mean by taking
such libertiesT He would show her
that he was not the sort of man that
oould be Imposed upon. No doubt shs
had been spoiled la the office of her
father—her dead father.
He looked up. The .girl was stand-
lag by the desk.
"The men from the telephone com-
pany will be here st ten o'clock to
arrangs for moving the 'phone." she
said, "and the typewriter is being put
In order. Do you feel tbe draught
from the windows?"
He growled an inarticulate word or
two and the girl turned away.
"Oh." she said and turned back.
"Mary, the woman who cleans, asked
me to tell you that she wasn't In any
way responsible for the improved ap-
pearance of the office. She said she
was quite willing to let me take all
the credit. It seems much nicer here,
doesn't it?"
Here was his chance to assert his
authority. But, strange to say, the
only form of expression his anger took
was another vicious slam of the much
suffering private drawer.
The girl brought new methods into
the business, the labor-saving and
time-saving devices he had despised.
And with the departure of the old-
fashioned methods his old-fashioned
brusqueness seemed to depart, too.
Customers who had been offended at
his Irritability and plain speaking
came back. The business was in bet-
ter shape than ever.
"I'm losing my grip." he growled to
himself. "I don't know anybody who
fears me. And yet, confound it, the
old house seems to have a new lease
of prosperity. If only Robert—"
He had been thinking a good deal
about his son. No doubt it was an-
other proof of his fatuous weakness.
He arose suddenly and took the va-
cant chair by the girl's table.
"Miss Morris," he abruptly said.
"I'm troubled."
"Not about the business, Mr. Thur-
ber?"
"No, the business is all right. Per-
haps, if it wasn't, I could keep my
thoughts on it. It Is my son Robert
who bothers me."
"Yes. Mr. Thurber."
"But you don't ask me why?"
"I know something about the story,
sir. You disagreed. Your son felt
that you were treating him like a
child. He rebelled. You drove him
away."
"It is all quite true," said the man.
"It's very hard for me to think I was
wrong. Robert was a good boy. Per-
haps I forgot that he had grown to be
a man."
The girl leaned forward.
"Mr. Thurber," he said, "what is
my position here?"
He looked at her blankly.
"I hardly know," he answered. "1
will have to think It out Is thers
any special title you want?"
She smiled.
"Let me be your confidential advis-
er for Just a moment or two," she
said. "You told Robert you would
never call htm back"
"Yea"
"Will you let ms call him?"
Hs stsred at her
"Let you call him! Do you thlnh
hs will come?"
"1 am sure hs will "
"Tbsa you know Robert?"
"Yes I knew him bsfors I cams
hers. I talk with him ovary day."
Hs drew his breath sharply "Is—
Is this a gams*" he demanded
"It's a game la which the happiness
sf three persons Is at staka." the girl
aaswered
"Aad 70s cams here to—to tame
me?"
"I eame here because I promised to
marry Hobart, aad I wsated his fa

Massachusetts Man Whs Has ex-
tracted Much sf ths Honey
of Existence.
There is a man in Massachusetta
by the name of Henry J. Turner who
has had, we suspect, more solid en-
joyment in his long life than any man
In the world. This is, of course, a
very strong statement, but when we
remark that in the last 40 years Mr.
Turner has, with a hook and line,
caught 11 miles of fish, the gentle
reader will surely agree to the asser-
tion.
By 11 miles we mean that when
these fish, nearly all pickerel and the
largest not weighing over five pounds
and the average weight not reaching
a pound, are laid down, head to tall,
the line would extend 11 miles
away. He averaged four fish a day
for 40 years, counting in sick days,
winter days, storm days, Sundays—la
fact, for every day in 40 years bs
caught four flsb.
Wbils it is easy to calculats the
pounds, distance, number aad all the
atatistles of this 40 years' Ishing, it
ie Impossible to estimats ths Joy that
has come into this man's life. Why,
he hss bad msrs real, downright, up-
right fun than all the preaMeata, sab-
taet officers, eoagressmsn, million-
air as euchre play ere, autemoblllata,
vaudeville goers all put together.
Jast think of those msdltationa and
exkilaratiaae attending upon the 175,-
000 bites he hsd aad the 55,000 lab
he drew out of tbe water. That
man's Joy has been greater than the
saaa's who found a bonanza, built a
palace to live in aad drinks cham-
pagne Instead of water.—Ohio 8tate

AS TOLD BY INDIGENT ALBERT
Silent Clubs.
Some eccentric persons In the
French capitsl. we learn from a Paris
contemporary, have formed a club the
principal rule of which is that all the
members when at the Institution shall
preserve an absolute silence. Our con-
temporary prophesies a short life for
the club in a country noted for Its
loquacity. Moreover, the Ides Is by
no means new (or we read toward the
end of the seventeenth century of a
similar assembly in London. Many
such elnbs are tsld to exist to-day in
China The sllsst members of the
Spectator dab gave us unaided Sir
Roger do Coveiiey. so what measure-
less possibilities are before this new
club of silent members!
Canadian' Indians In ths Province of
Saskatchewan Both Industrious
and Prosperous.
The Indians of the great Canadian
prairie province of Saskatchewan are
disproving the theory that an Indian
won't work unless he has to. They
are becoming industrious and pros-
perous.
There are nearly 8,000 Indians in
the province and last year they had
about 9,000 acres under crops. They
raised 150,572 bushels of grain and
roots and 36,0000 tons of hay, worth
$136,023.
The department of Indian affairs
reports that the Indians are turning
more and more to the soil for a liv-
ing. The agent of the Asslnlboine
agency, which may be regarded as
typical, writes:
"I was greatly pleased to find that
the area under crop was almost double
what it was the year before. The
band bad about 600 acres of wheat
and 200 acres of oats. Ths Indians
of this agency are beginning to farm
on a large scale, and if they continue
to do as well as they have in the laat,
two years there will be some good-1
•lied farmers among them. One man 1
had 155 acres in crop and another 125 I
acres and several had 70 acres each. |
There was s decided improvement in
ths way the land bad been farmed." j

SWELLING "THE DIDN'T CLUB"
Really Remarkable Tale sf Woe That
Should Satisfy ths Meet
Incredulous.
"My unfortnit condition I traces di-
rect to tbe vanity of wimmin." said
Indigent Albert, accounting for hia
financial lack of stature to the pedes-
trisn of benevolent aspect.
"How Is that?"
"Well, sir, you see I was seckind
mate aboard of a three-masted
schooner what traded between here
and South Amurrika. She was the
daisiest (parding my tears) little craft
that ever sailed the oshun blue. She
was built all through of the finest
curly maple, wlch every seaman
knows is the best wood for ships
what is."
"That's news to me."
"Y'is, sir, p'raps. But as I was
say in', we took on board one trip a
cargo of them irons what wimmin
uses for to mar-sell their hair. They
was for wimmin In Brazil. We was
doin' fine and dandy until we struck
the troiiics. Then them irons got het
up a;:d the whole ship went to pieces.
Oil, but it was rotten hard luck, it
was."
"But I don't understand."
"No, sir. p'raps not. But as I was
sayin', w'en them irons got het up
ever.' curly maple plank in the ship
Jest n.i "herally curled up in a mar-

Handrik Hudson Is Addsd to ths
Ranks and Awful Possibility
Suggests Itself.
The overlong procession of great
men who didn't do the thing that made
them famous has a new recruit. On ;
the heels of Paul Revere, lately un- i
horsed, comes trotting along old Hen-
drik Hudson, who. It now appears, did ;
not discover the Hudson river at all.
Jusi who did do It is not known, but j
who didn't do it is fixed beyond all |
question forever, and that man is Hen-)
drik Hudson. On the whole, however,
we think that Hudson's name is likely
to stay out. There are so many mil-
lions of people who have discovered j
the river since it first became known
that there is a certain distinction in
not having done it, and from this we
may as well let the sturdy old English-
man with the Dutch name profit. We
shall look with interest for the next
member of "The Didn't club." Perad-
venture it will be Mr. Carnegie, and
they'll be telling us he never discov-
ered America!—Harper's Weekly.
Repeating a Newspaper.
Dr. Macklin used to tell a story of
man proud of his great mental reten-
tiveness. He offered to give any proof
of It desired, and was asked to read
a newspaper and then to repeat every
word of it from memory. The host
held the paper while the man repeated
it verbatim and every word in its prop-
er place.
The surprise of the host, however,
was even greater and his skepticism
taxed beyond bounds when the visitor,
to show how easy the feat had been, of-
fered to repeat the words backward.
"This is impossible."
"Not at all. If you will listen, I will
do it"
And he did it. Beginning at the end
of the last word of the last cQlumn, he
went to the beginning of the first word
of the first column without an error.
Dr. Macklin fails to give this prodigy's
name.—Sunday Magazine.
An Unpopular Official.
There is one public official that goes
begging; in many small suburban
towns. Nobody wants the position of
dog catcher.
"It isn't that we're afraid to handle
the beasts," said one man who had de-
clined the honor. "It Is the fact that
the business of running in dogs gets
everybody down'on us. 1 know a man
—a first-rate fellow he is too—who
was made dog catcher in a Staten Is-
land village. He had enjoyed the best
kind of reputation up to the time he
took that position, but before he had
held the job three months, hardly a
person In the town would speak to
him. In the opinion of the general
public, to scoop up poor, little,' defense-
less doggies and cart ^hem away to
the pound is the furthest cry of human
ignominy. The man who will do such
a thing sinks below the level of the
official hangman and no longer holds
a place in the esteem of his neigh-
bors."
A Wall Street Confession.
The broker runs the most profitable
end of the game. Perhaps you have
never realized that most New York
stock exchange hoifses with any sort
of clientele maintain their offices on
what they make on interest charges,
which every monthly statement shows,
and which not one of a hundred spec-
ulators can verify. The commission
and interest charges that go to the
brokerage firm make the percentage
;tn almost Impossible one to overcome.
This percentage is far bigger than in
roulette. Do you think you can win
in the long run playing roulette? If
you think you can, then go ahead and
speculate.- If in doubt, then let me
tell you that in almost three years I
bad over 200 accounts, and not only
have I never seen anybody make any
money to keep, but I have seen niany
a fortune wiped out.—Everybody's.

How Teacher Got Even.
A New York teacher took occasion
recently at a public meeting to criti-
cise the good taste of women teach-
ers who sit and laugh and otherwise
amuse themselves while they are
present for the supposed reason of
improving their minds by listening to
the speakers Tbe teachers were nat-
urally indignant and declare the
teacher took this method of getting

Mme. Remier was a Communist.
Two times she was condemned to bs
shot. I saw her only onoe, and that j
was between the day when she es-
caped the first sentence through a |
soldier's jest and the day when she
was led the second time to public exe-
cution. I heard her story from ons
who knew what was before and after.
M. Remier, her husband, lost his ;
mind a few years after she was mar- !
ried, through conduct that gave his 1
wife no couse to pity him, and left hsr '
with three children to raise, and the j
bills for his care at the Hospital St.
Anne, which was a home for the
feeble-minded. Sometimes M. Remier
escaped from his lax guards, and there
were more bills for returning hia to
the hospital.
Then oaaae Napoleon the Third.
Mme. Remier taught school in the
daytime, and eonepired against the
monarohy nt night. Shs wan intelli-
gent enough and radical enough to be
a leader aaeag the Republlcane. She
was also clever eaottgh not to be
caught for some time. But when the
first fury earns against the Repub-
licans, she was one of these arrested
aad ssnteneed to bo shst at enss.
There was little eeremeny about the
executions. Only one formality waa
observed, when the condemned were
huddled at the all-day-slaughters en
the sand-nhelvss beside the Selae.
They were told eg in squads of 10.
who were all tied along one rope ta
be shot together.
When Mme. Remier s tun cacao, her
lot fell to be tied at ths cad of the
rope with 29 men. Thus they stood
bareheaded in the sun, almoat before
the dead bodies of the score and tea
who had preceded them were tumbled
into a barge to be towed away for
burial.
It was too late to think of herself—
she waa lost—but what of Remier,
the imbecile, and of little Paul aad
Victor aud Joan? Dioul Would the ;
soldiers ahoot before she could thiak
how they might be cared for? Why ;
doesn't the sergeant leave that little j
priest and command tbe men to Are? :
One! Two!" What's the matter? i
What are they waiting for?
The sergeant stopped his oount and
stepped forward.
What is this? Only one woman? |
For shame! It is almost night, and
one woman must not lie in the same '
bed with so many men."
They untied her and put a man In
her place The rifles quickly sang
the 30 to sleep. It was too dark to
kill more that night—the others must
wait until morning. On the return to
the prison, Mme. Remier escaped into
| the darkness.
It was a few weeks later when I
met her. Victor and Paul had been
j put to bed in the corner and Jean was
sitting by her in the one unlovely
room she occupied. We talked brief-
ly of her countrymen in America, to
which I was about to return. I asked
her if she should not try to escape
with the children to go on my vessel.
No, there was Remier; and, more,
France. The republic must be re-
stored. and she must do her part. She
wished me safe passage, and I wished
her deliverance, and left. I ne\*er
saw her again. I have the rest from
M. Passaud. who lived to receive many
honors from the republic.
The Commune began. Mme. Remier
left the children with a weaker friend,
and helped build the barricades in the
streets. She fought with the men and
slept on the cobblestones. She was In
the final struggle, heaving stones from
a barricade at the gendarmes, and she
was captured while her fingers wore
throttling the last breath of a soldier
of Napoleon.
Again her name was inscribed on
the death roll. The day after her
mock trial she was among the thou-
sands of condemned waiting to bear
their names called for them to step
out before the cathedral doors and be
shot down. From six in the morning
until noon, and from noon until four
o'clock she stood and watched the
monotonous succession of names
called, men and women taking their
positions before the guns, the ser-
geant's count, the flash and the report,
and blood running into the gutter
from the steps.
Now they were down to the R.'s.

born baby in one of the New York
suburbs a month ago it was of such
attractive appearance that Mrs. John

grew older it assumed a dark hue,
large lips, flat nose and kinky hair,
and on the report of a physican that
it was of negro blood, Mrs. Travers
has turned the baby over to the poor
master.
