Losses Promptly Adjusted. (From Tenstrike Tribune.] Mr.]J. D. Crooker, representing the Hartford, and ‘W, J. Tippery, representing the /Atna fire insurance companies, both gentlemen of Far- go, N. D, were in Tenstrike Tues- day and satifactonly adjusted the losses these companies sustained in the recent fire. Chas. Gustafson and H. Stechman each carried poli- cies in the Hartford, and Mr. Stech- man also carried a policy in the Aitna. Adjustment of the losses were made very satifactoiily with both companies who are to be greatly commended for their prompt- ness and fairness, and they were al- so the first on the ground to settle their loss. ~ Mr, A, L.

The truth is, I fear, that madness has a great advantage over snn!ty.{ Sanity is always careless. ‘Madness is always careful. There is a great deal of falsehood in the notion that truth must necessarily prevail. There i3 this falsehood to start with—that if a man has got the truth he is generally happy. And if he is happy he is generally lazy. The incessant activity, the exag- gerated intelligence, generally belong to those who are a little wrong and Just a little right. The whole advan- tage of those who (hink that Bacon wrote Shakespeare, says Gilbert J. Chesterton, writing in the. Illustrated London News, lies simply in the fact that they care whether Bacon wrote Shakespeare. The whole disadvantage of those who do not think it lies In the fact that they do not care about it. The sane man Who is sane enough to see that Shakespeare wrote Shake- speare is the man who is sane enough not to worry whether he 4id or not. The Crafty Brother. A man had two sons. The elder was virtuous and dutiful, the younger wick- ed and crafty. When the father was about to dle, he called them before him and said: “I have only two things of value—my herd of camels and my blessing. How shall I allot them?"”’ “Give to me,” sald the younger son, “thy blessing, for it may reform me. The camels I should be sure to sell and squander the money.” The elder, disguising his joy, sald that he would try to be content with the camels and a plous mind. It was so arranged, and the man died. Then the wicked younger son went before the cadi and said: “Behold, my brother has defrauded me of my lawful her- itage. He is so bad that our father, as 18 well known, denled him his blessing, Is It likely that he gave him the cam- els?” 8o the elder brother was compelled to give up the herd and was soundly bastinadoed for his rapacity. They Wouldn't Salute. Black Jack Percival, who was a na- val captain in the old days, once brought a cargo of Spanish jacks home in 2 man-of-war. He was in Spanish waters when the jacks were given to the United States by Spain and was ordered to bring them out In his ship. It made him angry, but he got the beasts aboard and sailed for New York. ‘When he came through the Narrows the guns had been rolled back, and out of every port there stuck a jack’s head. Thus decked out and without a salute, he came to his anchorage. The admiral commanding sent posthaste to de- mand why Captain Percival had not saluted. “I didn't salute,” was the doughty captain's answer, “because T couldn’t. I had two men twisting ev- ery jack’s tail, but not a blanketed one of them would bray.” Somewhat Simple. A rather simple countryman had been Induced to promise a fine hen of a particular breed in exchange for what was sald to be a fine rosebush, ‘When the rosebush was brought, it turned out to be nothing else than a sprig with a little root. The country- man grumbled, but the other said that he only had to wait a few years and it ‘would be a fine bush. He then claim- ed the hen. The countryman went to his fowl house and brought out an egg. “That is not the fowl you promised me,” said the other. “No,” sald the countryman, “but you have only to wait a year or two and it will grow into a fine fowl.”—Scottish Ameriean. He Held Up the Train. A German traveler who tried to pass & meal ticket on the train was told by the conductor that he would have to pay the regular fare of 85 cents. The German argued and refused to pay more than 25 cents, whereupon the con- ductor stopped the traln and put him off. In a twinkling the traveler ran ahead of the englne and started to walk on the track. The engineer blew his whistle, but the irate German turn- ed, shook his fist and called out: “You can vissle all you want to. I von't come pack.” The Great Bustard. The great bustard is the rarest bird that comes under the head of game. This bird formerly haunted all the level countles of England and was par- ticularly common on Salisbury plain. From the reign of Henry VIIL repeat- ed measures were passed in order to protect it, and 1t 1s expressly included under the head of game in the statute of the first year of the relgn of Wil- liam IV. which codified and reformed the laws relating to game. A Good Palr of Boots, “You know,” sald a “smart” young man to a girl, “some one has sald that ‘If you would make a lasting pair of boots take for the sole the tongue of a woman.’ " “Yes,” replled the glrl, “and for the uppers you ought to take the cheek of the man who said it.” His Last Chance. “Did you ever notice,” said Mrs. N. Peck, “that about half the pictures in the photographers’ windows are of bridal couples? I wonder why they always rush off to the photographer as soon as the knot fs tied.” “I guess the husband is responsible for it,” said Mr. Peck. “He realizes that it is about his last chance to ever look pleasant.” Was Wasting Away. “I had been troubled with kid- ney digsease for the last five years,”” writes Robert R. Watts, of Salem, Mo. *I lost flesh and never felt well and doctored with leading physicians and tried all remedies suggested without re- lief. Finally I tried Foley’s Kid- ney Cure and less than two bot tles completely cured me and I am now sound and well. During the summer kidney irregularities are often caused by excessive drinking or being overheated. Attend to the kidneys at once by using Foley’s Kidney Cure. E. A, 4 Barker. Straightened Out the Blunder Beef was very scarce in Ladysmith during the siege, but Gener:l Sir Ian Hamilton, then a colonel, insisfed that “horse is not half bad when properly cooked and when one is used to It [n fact,” he said, concluding a discus- sion, “I have a joint cooked: tonight, which I hope you will all sample. Of course, there’s beef, too—tonight!” Ev- 81y one at the table preferred the beef, with the exception of Colonels Ward and Ian Hamilton, who ostentatiously : carved generous slices from the “horse- flesh.” The dinner was nearly over when one of the servants whispered a rommunication to Ward. Up he sprang. “I'm distressed, gentlemen,” he an- pounced to the startled company. “A silly mistake has been made. Those foints were mixed up somehow, and you have been eating the horse. I'm really annoyed. But I hope you'll be convinced now that the meat is splen- dld eating. I'm sure you all segmed to enjoy it.” Glances were exchanged; mustaches were twirled. Nobody seem- ed ready with a response. Then a volce from the bottom of the table piped up: “Oh, don’t distress yourself, Ward! I thought some mistake had been made, so I just changed those dishes as they stood on the sideboard. [t was you and Hamilton who had the horseflesh all right!” The Oyster and the Cockle. If the average person were asked what was the strongest living thing it s probable that he would name the don or some such huge denizen of the lorest and would not even think of the anassertive bivalve. But so great is ‘he power possessed by the oyster that !0 open it a force equal to 1,319.5 times the weight of its shell-less body is re- quired. The shell-less limpet pulls 1,984 times its own weight when in the iir and about double when measured n the water. The Mediterranean coc- kle (Venus vurrucosa) can exert a pull- ng power equal to 2,071 times the welght of its own body. If the human seing possessed strength as great in yroportion as that the average man would be able to lift the enormous welght of 2,976,000 pounds, pulling in ‘he same degree as the limpet. And if the man pulled in the same proportion- ite degree as the cockle he would sus- rain a weight of no less than 3,106,500 younds. Nobody Ever “at” London. A case of irregularity occurs in a cablegram that announces from New York the residence of a certain ac- cused person “at London.” You will perceive at once the absurdity of those words—“at London.” A New Yorker may want to get at London, but those who live there live “in London.” And It is one of the triumphs of London and language (though most irregular) that no one is ever “at” London. You can drop off “at” Parls on the way to anywhere, and you may spend the win- ter “at” St. Petersburg or “at’ New York. You may change cars “at” Chi- cago. But there comes a moment when the English language gets irregular, Is Lt when the fifth million is passed? No ask for Royal. Absolutely Pure When ordering baking powder cream of tartar powder. All its ingredients are named upon the label. alum and phosphate of lime. Absolutely Pure ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK A pure, grape Free from Englishman was ever “at” London. It would be as irregular as being “at” Asla or “at” heaven.—London Stand- ard, Iceland From a Lava Wall. The general impression that Iceland is a cold country is a false one, says a writer in Travel Magazine. In Reyk- javik, the capital of the island, I one day perched myself on one of the lava walls and looked at a scene of summer warmth and beauty. Famillar cows and cats-and hens were busy in the sunshine. Children, thinly clad, were playing about with shouts of merri- ment. Potatoes were in full blossom, and cabbage and various vegetables added to the sense of homelike comfort. But such days are oases in vast deserts of rain, for if Iceland in summer is not cold it is not comfortable. Only a Dream. Wife—I dreamed last night that I was In a shop that was simply full of the lovellest bonnets, and— Husband (hastily)—But that was only a dream, my dear. Wife—I knew that before I woke up, because you bought one for me. Kept a Good Table. Brown--Keeps a good table, does she not? Robinson—Excellent. Solid oak. Has had it for years.—New York Trib- une. Desert Plants. Plants of the desert, as a rule, pos- sess few leaves, the cactus, for in- stance, being mostly spines. There is a very good reason for the lack of leaves in desert plants. The object is to check the transferation of moisture by offering as small a surface as pos- sible to the dry air. For the same rea- son the roots of desert plants usually run deep into the soil so that they can suck up all the available moisture. In some instances the leaves assume a vertical position and thus avoid the direct rays of the burning desert sun. On the other hand, the leaves of trees in very wet countries are provided with points—such as the maple—from which the rain drops off. Were the leaves flatter the rain would collect and make them rot. In a German Law Court: A German law court was the scene lately of an amusing incident. The magistrate, a tiresome and long wind-- ed person, was deciding a small case in which the plaintiff claimed damages for abuse. “To call 2 man a ‘pig’ or a ‘dog,’ ” replied the judge, “is certainly an insult, but to say that he is a ‘pig- dog’ is offensive, for no such animal exists.” The plaintiff glared at the bench. “Schweine-Hund!” he remark- ed, with bitter emphasis.—T.
