The business of the Home Life Insurance Company, as explained by President Ide to the investigating committee, show a} conservatism and a regard for the rights of the policy-holders in re- freshing contrast to the practices of the larger institutions. | The old-fashioned theory that insurance funds are trust funds seems still to obtain in this com- pany, It indulges in no syndicate participation, It has no non-ledger assets, It enters into no joint-account stock speculations. Regularly hevery year after the profits have been ascertained and an addition made “to the surplus the balance is apportioned among the policy-holders with mathematical exactness, There is no “guessing” by actuaries, Individual accounts are kept with the deferred-dividend policyholders and their) policies credited with their earnings, | This is only simpk honesty and falr dealing, But how elementary! the methods! What kindergarten processes by comparison with the! uhighly elaborated system of the larger companies! And what opportuni- ties for personal exploitation left unutilized by the officials! Not a single} Versailles fete in the history of the institution; not an opera box! No| baronial estates; no horse-show blue ribbons; not even a daily bunch of | violets! | From Hyde to Ide is the whole gamut of modern fife insurance, What contempt a McCurdy or a McCall must feel for a man who keeps this talent wrapped up in a napkin! methods Mr. McCarren's good friend Cahill goes to Sing Sing for two years, Another | of McCarren’s friends has skipped $11,000 bail, Perhaps he was wise. Election frauds are not so much of a Joke this year as they might be, The Brooklyn Way, Judge Crane in Brooklyn yesterday fined four policy deaters $1:000 each; three, including a woman, $500 each, and one woman $100, The _ Judge promised to increase such fines in future, but offered lenity if the accused would give up the names of their backers, Brooklyn “Al” Adams could be sent to Sing Sing, Policy is not “played.” It is not a game. It is robbery of the poorest poor, Brooklyn has a way of pusishing such swindlers quietly and without noise of trumpets. Were there five men among them of real ability? If so, which five?

I hate him!" I told Curly about my first meeting with that same little boy Jim, aged six, and him turning his hot gun loose against hostile Indians, #hooting gay and promiscuous, scared of nothing. “I hate him," snarled Curly between his teeth, “Last night the lady was reading to me yonder, on the root top.” “welt” “There was a bie chief on the range, an old Jong-horn called Abraham, and his Ml old squaw Sarah, They'd a boy in thelr lodge like me, another woman's kid, not a son, but good enough for them while they was plumb lonely, That Ishmael colt was sure wild—came of back stock, I{ke me, and wild with strangers, but inside so wejule that he was mote like a girl than oye He was rather wide at the hips, bow- legged just a trace, and when his ankle healed we found jhe had a moat tre- mendous grip In the saddle, the balance of a hawk, Yes, that small, slight, delicate lad wags the most perfect rider I've seen in a world of great horsemen, The meanest horse wan tame as A dog with Curly, while in tracking. scouting and n&tural sense with cattle . . » ‘His hand,’ saya the book, ‘will be up agin every man, and every man's hand agin him,’ I reckon that colt came of robber stock, same as me, but I allow they Iiked him some until thelr own ‘Yon came.
