a,. SOME INSURANCE AGENTS THE REAL FIRE-BUGS.

Indiana Harbor is gaining some rather unpleasant notoriety on account

of the number of incendiary fires that occur within its borders. There aremany who believe the fault lies largely with unscrupulous in

surance agents, who for the sake of a few dollars commission, will insure the contents of a building or of a building itself, at far higher valuation than

should be placed on it, thereby putting a premium upon arson.

As long as insurance agents will take a risk of J1.000 on a $75 stock, just so long will there be incendiary fires. Take for example the last apparently

incendiary blaze in Indiana Harbor. This occurred In a saloon where a3 events proved, there was not liquor enough to have floored an ordinary healthy man in good training, had he drank up the entire stock. And yet

the proprietor of the place carried 1,000 insurance on it. ,

, Under these circumstances the man who tets fire to a building, or who hires some one to start a blaze, is not alone responsible for the crime. The agent, who places an inflated valuation on the stock, is the worse criminal

of the two.

Ignorance and an undeveloped moral sense are easily tempted into

wrong-doing, and the chance to make a large sum by the simple act of set

ting fire to a building, where Cre bugs escape Justice as easily as they do in

Indiana, is a temptation indeed.

The fire department Is powerless. The hands of the police are tied. For it is only by a confession on the part of the guilty ones, or by catching them In the act of setting fire to a building, that they can be convicted of the crime

The Evening Chit-Chat ByRUTMQAMERON

FLAYS AND PLAYEBS.

"Friendship is the supreme tie. It is stronger even than the bonds of blood, as we see in the case of Jonathan who stood by his friend, David, even against his own father. When two hearts have become orre in the myatical union of friendship, that relationship should mean more to them than any matter of circumstance, fortune or individual benefit." In a sketch f the life of Clarence Stedman, a man whose name this generation may not recognize, but whom their fathers will surely remember as the famous "banker-poet," occurs this sentence: "Amid all discouragements he kept the friends of his youth." It is surrounded by many more obviously flattering remarks, but to me it is as high as any praise his biographer gives him. Says Anne Thackery Ritchie: "I often find myself going back to Dar

win's saying about the duration of a man's friendship being one of the best measures of his worth." With all my heart I agree with that. Indeed, I scarcely see how there could be a better test. Beware of the man or women whose friends are all of too irecent a vintage.

It makes no difference how highly they

speak of him. Praise is not enough unless it be backed by knowledge. Where is hi old friend? Why is his voice lacking from this symphony of praise? Find that out before you accept him at the valuation these newly made friends would put upon him. As an interesting experiment, why not reckon how it would fare with you if you were tried by Darwin's test? Run over your list of friends and see how many there are. of ten years'

standing, of school day making? Of course, many times it is the accidents of circumstance and distance and widely diverging interests, rather than change in character that separates us from our old friend. But if the friendship be what we thought it when we formed it. a heart

friendship and . not a mere affair of convenience, can we afford to let It lapse? . Of course, in the hurry of business and social life the line of least resistance is all too often to let the genuine old friend slip gradually out. ot our lives and try to fill his plare with two or three acquaintances of. convenience. But avery man or woman who does that Is selling his blrthridght for a mess of pottage. Friendship,- love and toil these are; the greatest things in life, and he who willingly dispenses with the Joys of any one of them nit sees a third of the happiness the fates intended for him. Where is that old friend in whose companionship you once found such content and inspiration? Can't you take the first stop this very night toward picking up tha threads of your friendship? And don't you want to?
