Trout fishing season opens April
15th, and lovers of this sport should
bear in mind that the law provides
that no trout less than six inches in
length shall be taken from any
stream. Fish wardens say the law
requires them to examine baskets
and they propose to do so. The fine
is $lO for eat'h and every trowt found
in any one's posession that is under
lawful size.
The new emigration law is al
ready producing an improvment in
the class of emigrants coming to this
country. While not as far reaching
as if it had contained the educational
clause, it makes it dangerous fori
steamship companies to bring over
undesirable people with the liability
of losing all profit by having to take
a considerable percentage back and
this operates to make the transporta
tion companies more careful.
The public schools of Estella will
hold a Literary, Wednesday even

Quite a novel case before 'Squire
Bushhausen, Tuesday afternoon,
caused a crowd to gather at the
courthouse to hear the evidence.
It seems that on Monday John
Karge issued an execution against
John Manuel to collect a debt of $25.
'On Tuesday Manuel had Karge ar
rested for selling cider. Karge has
a large orchard and a cider press and
last fall made a large amount Of ci
der. During the winter Manuel and
members of his family, and also
hired help had been in the habit df
going over to Karges and getting a
two gallon jng filled with cider for
which they paid Karge 15 cents.
This Manuel construed to be a viola
'tirtn of the liqoor law which says
"no person shall sell spirituous, vi
nous or malt liquor withont a li
cense," and had a warrent issued.
After hearing the evidence Esq.
Bushhausen Concluded it was a mat
ter to be decided by the court and
bound Karge over fn the sum of S3OO
for hfe appearance to next court.
Karge gave ball. '

In these days and especially In our
own country tbere Is an astonishing
Increase of men of immense wealth.
The word "million", is almost as com
mpn as the* word "thousands" was in
the days of my childhood. Haste to be
rich Is the prevailing mania, yet only
a .very, very small proportion of all the
most eager seekers after wealth will
ever attain it. But every one may be
come "rich toward God." The secret of
It Is to get by giving. This Is the true
paradox In the economy of grace, He
that refuses to give his whole heart to
Christ is dooqied to perish without
Christ.; Me that saves for self only
loses. He that loses for Christ's sake
Is. sure .ta jMy-e.. Would you secure
treasures <• In iteavco? Then learn to
give and give bountifully. Qod loveth
the cheerful giver. This is not to be
limited to gifts of the purse, for the
offerings of silver and gold are only a

We must freely give of everything thitf
we have freely received. ltev. Dr.

GRANGE FIRE INSURANCE.
!»■€ MsIMIm R«lMlve to Thin Pea
tare of Ormmm* Work.
While there are financial benefits ac
cruing to membete of the grange, these
are not set forth as Inducements to se
cure membership. However, some facts
concerning grange fire insurance are
worthy of consideration. In Michigan
thirty counties of the state are organ
ized under county and district plans
and also a company covering all terri
tory not otherwise organized. The ag
gregate value of farm properties car
ried by these companies is about $lO,-
000,000. The average annual cost of
insurance upon each SI,OOO is not far
from sl. Pennsylvania has eight
grange mutual fire insurance companies
carrying risks aggregating over $15,-
000,000. Some of these companies have
been doing business more than a quar
ter of a century. The aggregate cost
has been about one-half of what the
same class of risks costs in other com
panies. In Maine, with almost $0,000,-
000 in risks, the Are losses of 1902 In
the Androscoggin Patrons company
amounted to only SB,OOO, and the aver
age ossessment on SI,OOO for seven
years, ending Dec. 31, 1902, was only
$2. The Oxford County (Me.) Patrons
Insurance company carries $1,774,328
at an average cost per year for twenty
six years of $8.60 per SI,OOO.
In New York state the risks carried
by grange insurance companies is, for
1901, last report published, $r>8,225,000.
Losses were $104,000, or SI.BO per sl,-
000, and expenses $24,000, or 40 cent.?
per SI,OOO. Cost of Insurance per sl,-
000 was $2.20. There were twenty
three companies reporting. In the Jef
ferson and Lewis county Patrons Fire
Relief association New York state risks
amount to $10,248,803, and with losses
for the year mncb above the average
the cost of insurance was only sl.Bl
on each $1 ,000. In Herkimer county
the grange insurance in force Jan. 1,
1903, was $2,518,780. In Steuben and
Livingston counties association policies
lu force Jan. 1 amounted to $3,170,300
and cost to the insured for three years
past has been only 53*,6 cents per SI,OOO.
The Columbia and Dutchess associa
tion carries $3,184,000 In risks, of which
amouut $1.0H0,800 was written in 1902,
and the total cost to the insured for
five years was $4.84 per SI,OOO, or about
95 cents per year per SI,OOO. The Cat
taraugus county association wrote
$200,000 insurance in 1902 and has over
$1,000,000 in force.
The Ohio (Jrangers' Mutual Insur
ance company has been in operation
twenty-three years. There are now
3,280 policies in force, the amount of
the insurance being $3,100,616. There
have been twenty-one assessments for
186 losses during the twenty-three
years, and the average cost of insur
ance per year has been $1.43 per SI,OOO.
In Massachusetts the grange com
panies wrote $407,608 insurance iu 1902,
and total risks are $755,308. Receipts
for premiums wore $3,272, while tlie
losses were only $l5O. This is a re
markable showing, for while good for
tune has certainly attended the com
pany it is also evidence of carefully
Mlected risks.
Herein lies one of the chief reasons
tor the excellent showing made by
grange Insurance companies—cure in
telectlon of risks, then economy of ad
ministration and careful supervision.
