The Antics of “Bobs” on the
Dead Line.
The spectacle of_I_.ord Roberts, shriveled
it
and seventy,plunginsz into the smoke and
struggle in South Africa and emerging
with "the garter " in one hand and aduke
dom in the other, is exhilarating. and
suggestive in view of "the dead-line-at
fifty" discussion which has been in-sins
for months past. Roberts, as an old man.
who had fought his battles and won lil#
medals, who had all to lose and nothing
to gain, stayed at home during the early
weeks of the war. _-\ndY0\1YlS0l` flifhfefhi

“W_ha_t they got is recent and painful

Roberts and Kitchener-the }'0ll“§°1`
mail was expected to do the bi;-1 lhlllgfi-
were sent out as an eleventh-hour h0D€-
dropped out of sight. And in the ;,end `
was Lord Roberts, twenty years past the
dead line, who fought out the war an
won. \\'lien he found that the Boers did
not do battle according to the books, he
changed his tactics to suit their little
ways. "Bobs" apparently did not know
that he had been as good as dead for
twenty years; and at seventy he sho wed
ability to learn, to adapt himself to con-
ditions instead of trying to conform them
to his previous standards.
Itis futile to lay down general laws;
folly to apply them to individuals. Yet
the dead-line at-fifty heresy has been
-accepted as gospel by somany people that.
it is worth foi‘owing up, with “Bobs” as a
beacon. Undoubtedly there is a dead line.
Some men have already passed it at
.thirty; others never reach it till they
follow a clergyman feet first out of
church. But every man has crossed it
when he feels that he knows his business
and can rest on his knowledge.

A Faithful Wife.
When Frederick T. Moore embezzeled
$51,111) from the Bank_of Commerce of
Boston and fied to Chili. his devoted wife
followed him and shared his cell when
he was discovered and arrested. While
the United States has no extradition
'treaty with Chili it is customary for
friendly governments to surrender such
-criminals as Moore, and the civilized
world issurprised at the announcement
that Moore will not only be permitted to
f-remain in Chili, but has been given his
liberty. It is said to be wholly on account
of the faithful wife, who has won the
uzoodgraces of the authorities by her
wifely devotion.

Since the inception- the order has paid
to its members and their dependents up-
wards of two million dollars in insur-
ance and sick and funeral benefits the
society issues policies for $500, $1000,
$1500 and $2000, the latter sum beingjthe
limit of any life, and the premiums for
the same are only 60 cts to $1 per month
per $1000, according :to the age of the
applicant. The death rate in the society
was only 56 per 1000 of the membership
in 1898, and the average death rate since
the organization of the society was 4.94.
The Sick and Funeral Benefit Branch
through an obtional feature, is very popu-
o
The benefits are $300 per week
first two weeks of illness and $2 per week
for the succeeding ten weeB, altogether
, $56 during any year, besides a. funeral
benefit of $30. The fees for the same pay-
able monthly in advance are from 25
cents to 45cents, according to the age of
the member when joining the branch.
During the year 1899 over $57,000 were
paid out on sick and funeral benefits,
and $158,000 in insurance.
There are now about 700 subordinate
branches or courts as they are called,
throughout Canada, and the order is now
_ well established in all the provinces and
territories of the Dominion.
All physically quali lied males, between
the ages of 18 and 45 years of age who

occupation, are accepted for me mba-.

* - The Gold Position.
Affairs in South Africa. are progressing
slowly but surely toward a cessation of
hostilities. When this shall have been ac-
complished, the material increase in gold
receipts at London cannot fail to benedt
the general European financial situation.
The stock market will be particularly
exposed for some weeks to come to
shocks from either internationally or dc-
mestic politics; and any rash bull operat-
tions may be brought to a sudden termin-
ation. Thereare both good and bad fea-
tures in the situation; more- of each than
f usual? so that't_h_e dimculty of calculating
future movements is much greater than a 4
year ago, when the tide of prosperity was
all one way. Now"-there are conflicting
currents, and more ckre in avoiding treach-
erous eddies willbe necessaryfthan usual.
