While there are many who wish In

rate Is so high that few policies are Is

inquiries a month regarding such poli

2% per cent to SO per cent depending
upon the history of the family for 100
years. If triplets are born, the Insur

of the Inquiries are from persons
whose families hare long "twin his

The newspapers recentlv printed a
dispatch from Tahiti which will prob
ably scatter thrills.
Pirate little, all
Gold over *** newspa
per reading world.
A report, not yet confirmed, an
nounces that pirate gold, possibly forty
million dollars in value has been dis
covered on a lonely South Sea island.
The French government which owns
the island, and which is always Inter
ested In gold. Is "taking steps."
But I have no doubt that already
boys and men in every part of the
world are thinking about that treas
ure and how to get some, if not all
of it.
Very likely dozens of them are now
making ready to embark oo expeditions,
being too much m a hnrry to figure out
that if the French own that gold it is
going to be pretty difficult to get any
of it away from them.
I suppose that more gold has been
spent in gold hunting expeditions than
has ever been got out of the ground.
Certainly the words -pirate gold"
have a thrill that few other words
possess.
I was Living In Portland, Ore, when
gold was struck in the Klondike ar l
later found In the sands of Cape Nome.
Vessels of every sort and kind, haif
of them wholly unseaworthy were put
Into commission and started for the
Far North.
* Of these few ever got beyond Van
couver Island.
Two river boats under construction
for service In the Columbia river were
reinforced for heavy weather and
started on their way to ply up and
down the Yukon.
I saw them the day after they left
the mouth of the Columbia river. They
had encountered a big Pacific storm
Just outside and there*was hardly a
sound timber left in either of them
And, such is the make up of the
human mind, that if the Alaskan gold
had been pirate gold, instead of Just
gold, there would probably have been
ten times as many would-be argonauts
on their way to the polar waters.
? ??????
It ieesns too bod that there it no such
fascinmtion ebout the herd intensive work,
*thich coupled with breins will
equivalent of gold.
But there Is no romance In labor,
save to men and women who have
Tision.
Luckily the island where this pirate
gold is said to hare been found is so
far away that few people in the
United States will be able to make a
start in search of It.
But, as I said a while ago. it will
bring a thrill into many a household
and awaken discontent in the brea>*
of many a person who has for year*
dreamed that be some day might find
an old map or chart that gave the loca
tion of loot planted away by a buc
caneer. and has been waiting long for
some adventurous spirit to dig it up.
