The Musical union has rained its ad mission fee in the hope that this no tion may do something toward cheek ing the Increase in the numl>er of or chestral musicians in the Uulted States. Not only does the Increase of native musicians yearly tend to make the supply much greater than the de ma ud, but there Is never a visiting or chestra that does not leave behind it n certain part of its forces. The Bnndn UoH.sa, Strauss' orchestra and an or chestra that came here with an opera company all left some of their mem bers behind them, and it is not In the least unlikely that the same thing will happen when the Lelpsle orchestra, now on its way to this country, de cides to go home. Sometimes the players are under con tract and must return to Europe, but they generally come back to the United States as soon as the opportunity of fers. It is to prevent this too rapid increase that the union has raised the initiation fee, because without being one of its members no musician can readily find employment here. In spite of the excessive supply of which they complain, musicians are still so much better paid in this country than in Eu rope that It will be many years before tbeir emigration to this country cornea to an end.—New York Sun.

Try Helper s 5-cent cigir—best made, f How a Young j [Lawyer Got Rid i Of an Agent.;] "My insurance man came In to see me the other day," said the young law yer, "and wanted me to increase my life insurance from $5,000 to SIO,OOO. I couldn't do it very well. Of course he was a great deal disappointed, lie talked and talked. I could see that he was indeed distressed. But In the end I had to tell him peremptorily that I really could not meet his views al>oiit life insurance. " 'Now,' he said, 'do you know 1 am rather glad of that, because 1 have an other plan here that I would a great deal rather have you go into? Of course these life Insurance people are my prin cipal employers. I have to do my duty by them. My conscience would not let me tuke money from a man for any other purpose than life insurance until I was absolutely sure that there was nothing doing with him In the life In surance line. See?' "I told him that nobody appreciated better than I his loyalty to his employ ers. "'Thanks,' he said without blushing. 'Now, I want to call your attention to a company that has uttrnoted my no tice because of its liberality and fair ness in dealing with its friends. Now, have you ever thought about accident insurance? Every young man'— "Well, of course, he went on until he was stopped. I succeeded in stopping him by telling him that I wished very much that he would talk to me about something new. I never made a worse break In my life. " 'l'm tickled to death that you spoke about it.' he said. 'Now. there's some friends of mine, with a mint of money behind them, who have got the newest thing out. It's health Insurance. For less than 3 cents a day they will insure you against any one of these diseases.' "And then he unfolded a list of horri ble afflictions that looked like a list of ailments which could be cured by somo iHxiy's patent medicines. It took my breath away. He had the right of way and talked until I got my wind again. Then I told him that it was too much like an Investment In cheap gold mine stock for me. If it paid, It would pay a great deal, but it was more likely to result In money thrown away. "'Ain't those gold mining stocks aw ful?* he exclaimed. 'Now, I have Just hod a mighty funny experience about those things. I>ld you ever hear of the Midas and tlranrl Central Pete mine out in southern California? No? Well, mighty few people have. They will before long, though. You see, going arouud as much as I do. 1 get next to some very influential people, and through them I got on to this Midas and (. C. P. stock. They are going to keep It very quiet until next February, and then they are going to spring a sur prise In it that there will be a heap of money In. Of course ull these things are crooked. The thing is to be In with the people who are doing the crooked work. I am In. Now, to tell the honest truth, 1 am awfully hard up. That's why I have been after you so bard this morning. I need the money. I need SSO more this minute than I can possibly need SSO,OtX) next February. 1 have got about 'Jo.OOO shares of th" M. and (J. C. P. stock, and for the sak*. of getting n little ready money quick I'll let you have part of it for Just what it cost me—s,ooo shares, for Instance, at 1 cent a share. On the 11th of Feb ruary next that stock will be worth $'J a share or more. Not a cent less.' "He paused and drew a lot of gold and red ink certificates out of his breast locket and hashed them before my eyes. I waved them away. I told him with the utmost frankness that I real ly was not able to undertake any new investments. If 1 was going to gam ble, I said, I thought that I would take to a regular openly coufcssed gambling house. • "The insurance man leaped from his chair and caught me by the hand. " 'Well, say,' he sold, with the atr of one who had at last found out what his errand actually was, 'I tell you what we'll do. I've got $5. You put In $5, and then you put me on to some faro Joint around here, ami I'll go and piny faro for awhile. When I've run it up to a hundred. I'll bring It in and split it with you. I'm lucky to beat the band on calling cardH.' "I sighed a long, sad sigh sml hand ed out the five and a note to a bartend er friend who could 'put him on to a faro Joint' and urged him to hurry. I had a case to get ready, and the time was ehcnp to me Just then at that price. "Rut the funny part of this yarn is that about half an hour later a messen ger boy came into the office and hand ed me a fat envelope. It contained five $lO bills and this note; " 'Much obliged. Excuse haste. I've gone up home to pay rent and head off dispossess notice.' "—St. Louis Star. llantlnk For m Daughter-in-law.
