To the Fraternal Tribunes, Rock Island, 111.: I wish to express to the officers of the Supreme Tribunal my sincere thanks and appreciation of yonr promptitude in settling tne claim hem by my wne, who so recentlv was taken from me. The 1 1,000 which she left as a legacy to assist me in caring for oar children. came within three weeks after her death. I know a great many men object to having their wives insured, and I hes itated myself, but my wife and 1 con cluded it was all for tne children, and I know that if she thought of it during her last haurs of life she was triad that she had done that much for the children. I have this day made application for another fl.oOO on myself for the benefit of the children, thus proving my faith in the reliability of the Fra ternal Tribunes as an insurance so ciety. Verv sincerelv. V. D. Roor. The Peculiar Jain. Ernest M. Bowdeii in The Nineteenth Century rcjorts a chat with Raja Sivaprasad on Jainism. The Jains pay more regard to the feelings of the lower animals than any otlier sect in the world; will not kill them or Injure them; are careful to avoid destroying even Insects, sometimes wearing a handkerchief over the mouth to pre vent any living creature leing breath ed in. It may be argued that this tenderness will prove in the long run fatal to Its iMjsscssors, handicapping them Feriously In the struggle for life with less scrupulous rivals. As evi dence to the contrary Mr. Bowden points to the Jains: "Notwithstanding the opposition. If not active iersecutious, of bygone times, the one small sect which, more than any otlier in the world, has taught and practiced the doctrine of 'ahlmsa. or 'noninjury,' to living crea tures, stands today, after some four and twenty centuries. ly far the most prosicrous community in a population, verging on P.OO.OuO.UJO." Weapon a of the Skunk. A skunk once challenged a lion to sintrle combat. The lion promptly de clined the honor. "Why," said the skunk, "are jou afraid?" "Very much so," said the lion, "for you would only gain fame for having the honor to fight with a lion, while every one who met me for a month would know l had been in company with a skunk." This reminds us of the story about Ileurv Ward I'eeeher's father, the fa mous Dr. Lyman Iteecher. who. when asked why he did not reply to some body who had severely attacked him n a newspaper, replied that when a ruling man, crossing a held one night with an armful of books, he saw a small animal and after hurling several volumes at the animal found he got the worst of it. and ever since had thought It lettcr to let such animals alone. Our Dumb Animals. And the Minister Smiled. The York (Me.) Transcript says that a Portland minister recently called up on one of the families in his parish. He ascended the steps and knocked at the door. Receiving no response, he was about to depart when he heard a window in the next house open and a woman's voice say, "Mrs. Smith, the minister's at your door." What was the pastor's surprise and amusement when he caught Mrs. Smith's response wafted gently around the corner of the house, "Sh, don't yuu s'pose I know it:" The next Suuday after service Mrs. Pmlth met her pastor and expressed her sorrow that she was away when he had called. A Brlxht Jeweler. A gentleman tells the following joke on a jeweler: A young man who was on the verge of matrimony went to the Jeweler and lwught a ring and left in structions that in It be engraved the egend. "From A to Z." which, being Interpreted, meant from Anthony to Zenobia. To his astonishment, on call us for the ring the next day he found engraved like an Egyptian obelisk and on closer examination found that he Jeweler had put the whole alpha- et "from A to Z" on It.
