Mountain Mutual Discontinues.
Just before going to press on
the last four pages this week we
have received word that the
Mountain Mutual Fire Insurance
Company, so long represented by
this writer, has been stopped
from doing business in the state
by the Insurance Commissioner.
This action it is explained was
taken because the company's busi
ness had fallen off greatly in the
past few months, also because the
assessment recently made was not
paid in a majority of the cases.
Early in the year David M. Rich
ards, the father of mutual fire in
surance in this state, and Presi
dent of this company died sud
denly in Denver. Without his
guiding hand and wide experi
ence the business began to run
down, with the result that is
printed above. At the present
time we are not informed what
disposition will be made of exist
ing policies but doubtless they
will be carried to expiration by
some other mutual company, as
has been the case with other
companies that have quit business
in the state. It should be noted
that there is no connection what
ever between the Mountain and
National mutuals. The National
is as sound as any company in
the state, but following the usual
rule, those opposed to mutual in
surance will probably endeavor
to make the Mountain’s failure
apply to the damage of all the
others.

The Delineator for November.
With its new dress of coloi
throughout the fashion and ad
vertising section*,, the Novcmbet
Delineator presents a most at
tractive appaerance. The Autumn
fashions have a large place in the
number, being illustrated and
described in detail and interpreted
by such authorities of dress as
Helen Berkeley-Loyd and
Edouard La Fontaine. The
table of contents contains, among
its many features of interest, an
article, the second of two, by
Dr. William H. Maxwell, Superin
tendent of Schools, New York
City, on "Education for Life
through Living," which describes
the routine of a great public
school. "A run in Ireland" is a
delightful travel sketch by
Seumas MacManus, the well
known Irish author. N. Hudson
Moore w’l'ites of "Tables and Side
boards” in "The Collector’s
Manual," and "The Child's Dress”
is the subject of Dr. Grace Peck
ham Murray's paper. "The
Romance of a Gospel Singer” is
a timely contribution describing
some interesting events in the life
ot Charles M. Alexander, the
revivalist. The I ucky Piece,
Albert Bigelow Paine’s novel
which has been running in the
magazine is brought to an end in
this number, and "At Spinster
Farm,” by Helen M. Winslow is
continued. A delightful story
of boy life “The Exaltation of
William Henry" is from the pen
of Hcrminie Templeton. There
is a great deal of interest and
value to housewives in the de
partments, and for the little folks
stories and pastimes.

Valiant Defenders of The National Honor.
BY WILL M. MAUIMN.
"We must guard the nation’s honor when assailed hy any foe,
We must keep it safe whatever ill befall;
We must use our best endeavor to preserve it clean ferever,"
Said Depew, Hyde, Alexander and McCall.
So with tears their eyes bedimming and their honest hearts aglow
For 'he widows and the orphans in their care.
They gave forth the declaration they would save their well loved nation
But you see they didn’t do things on the square.
For the widows and the orphans they made many touching pleas.
Saying, “Hands off; we will guard them day and night!"
But a search is now revealing some gigantic games of stealing
By these trusted devotees of truth and right.
While of honor and of widows they did talk
It transpires they worked with crooked turns and twists.
And while "honor” safely guarding their own pockets were rewarding,
Shoving hands into trust money past the wrists.
“Do not sully our fair credit by repudiation’s route!
Do not let the nation’s honor be debased,"
Cried this precious lot of hooters who of trust funds were the looter*,
"Wc must never let our natic n be disgraced."
How they talked of "honest money,” how of "honor" they did cry.
But remembered dirty schemes they worked the while.
For corrupt and rotten revel this gang seemed to have the devil
Beaten seven furlongs in a single mile.
What a precious lot who guarde f our great nation from all harm!
A sweet scented bunch of grafters, to be sure,
Rotten stocks were syndicated, rotten bond deals well inflated,
By these men whose motives were so clean and pure.
Judges bought and sold like cattle, legislatures were debauched,
Loot and graft and dirty deals on every hand.
And it must not be forgotten that these men with schemes so rotten
Are the men who posed as saviors of the land.
Nerve sublime and check gigantic had this bunch who stood on guard
Over “widows," "orphans," "honor," night and day,
Shouting "honor," “honest money."—don’t it now seem awful funny
When you learn the crooked schemes the bunch did play?
Satan standing forth rebuking those who weakly yield to sin
Cuts a better figure than these posing patriots do,
And next time wc seek defenders we’ll not choose such doublc-cndcr*
As McCall, Hyde, Alexander and Depew.
