Some of their marvelous financial
manipulations have startled the world
time und again, for the Lloyda are a J-
venturer* In th© world of finance ana
th* world at large «has always manll
festsd a deep interest in adventure
of any kind.
The Lloyds are 220 years old. That I
Is, the first notice of tbn Lloyds wo*
given (hat long ago when an informal I
meeting wan held In the coffee house
of Edward Lloyd, a Welchman, In Lon
don, England. There were merchants,
shippers Insurance men and others
present at that memorable meeting,
They had been accustomed vo githeil
at the coffee house of Lloyd.
I flo the society grew und waxed
strong, doing v/hat might be termed
Insuring. It dlun’t become an Incor
porated association, though, unit! 1S7I.
when parliament granted a charter to
the organisation. Thla charter gavo
them the three-fold prlvlegj of ' wilt.
Ing marine Insurance," "protecting th*
Interests of members" and "the collec
tion and Iffuslon of Intelligence and
Information with respect to shipping.*’
Marine Insurance Is the only insur
ance which hsa the backing of the
Lloyd*. But they always pay any
wager they make, providing they lose,
and their business has gone on for
years and years on an unquestionable
bash*. However, should tho Lloyds
ever take a nylon not to pay a bet,
Ithe winner couTdn't collect from them.
They simply keep on doing business
on their reputation.
There are 2.000 members to the Lloyd
organisation, hut only 600 of these are
underwriting members. The Initia
tion fee Is between 1250.000 and 150,-
000. There are also subscribers who
pay 125 annually. This gives them
the privilege of betting on any offfr
sent In by the Lloyds agents. The
Initiation fee of from between 825,04?
and 850.000 Is to secure payment In case
of loss.
The subscriber has no voice In the
management of the Institution. He I
pays 825 a year for the privilege of
taking chances o n insurance. ■—
Classes of Members.
The members are divided Ints two I
I classes:
Those who pay 860 each year and
who do not underwrite and those who
do take part In the management and
share In the profit* of thei

annually and also put up froi
855.000 as a guarantee fund.
The offer to bet on an election In this
country Is not madn by the society, but
by Individual member*. Some member*
take Insurance on shops, others ord
horses, other* on anything, everything,!
anywhere In the wide, wide world.
Tho advisory committee assumes no
responsibility to the Insurer nor to th
Insured beyond advice based on the re
port* of It* agents. Whether these r«
ports are baaed on the sentiment of Wqlll
street, or on that of the middle weal,
wilt regulate their toss or gain on the

■ and marine Insurance seldom under
write stocks, weather, racing or election
f rteks. In either ease the losses are guar
anteed {beforehand, not by the LloydsJ
but br the deposlta of the Individual un
derwriters. *
Many American* are member* of the
Lloyd* society, for In th* American the
love for excitement Is strong and betting
furnishes It In great big heaps. It’s this
aarne excitement which causes men to
wager money with the Lloyds. The
sums are generally large, for the Lloyds
won't take email bets. They are in for
big game, and men with plenty of money i

with the Lloyds It's not thsMMigMJ

or any kind. A race ta tire times more

Th* System.
Every morning at Lloyds the different
propositions are made public. The mem
bers hear what wager* ere wanted from
every part of »ht globe. Every member
who is doing "Insuring" has ths privilege
of accepting or refusing an offer. After
all th* offers hava been accepted, th*
Lloyda are prepared for new ones.
A new factor In politics this rear eras
the "IJoy»l system.** In New Toil: they
didn't call It betting, but uted the mors
W gentle term of "insuring.’* Thoa# who
I wanted to wsger on the outcome of the
{recent presidential election didn't hunti
a up *«m* willing gentleman and say:
•Til bet you that Bryan win ,be
elected." cr "that Taft will be elected,** J
whichever the case might be.
Thev didn't make a bet, shake hands
or hunt up a stakeholder, hut the man
who wanted to lay a w.iger on the elec
tion went to an Insurance broker and
asked for a *T. V. I..** or. In other word*.
"a policy with proof of Interest."
Hi* merchant who dealt In busts and
lithographs of William Howard Taft, or
the publisher who had a consignment of
state documents by the republican can

against
The Thaw Bets.
One of th* bets that set the world
talking about tha Lloyds occurred dur
ing the first trial of Harry K. Thaw,
when the British society wrote a pol
icy against. the conviction of the slayer
of K fan ford White. The premium
charged was SI 1-2 per cent, the agree
ment calling for payment on the face of
the policy If the prisoner was executed.
Who made this bet with the Lloyds Is
still a mystery.
But the shrewdness of the Lloyds wnfc
here again shown. They luid full knowl
edge of the possibilities of jury trials In
New York city and they knew well
enough what chances Thaw stood. The
premium, which was a high one. was
the same offered In the New York b*t-
tinr rings ».©f»* t'mc later.
One of th* frequent bet* mads by the
Lioyds Is In reseid to the elements, if
anyone In Eurooe wishes to pull off a
tig event and lUnds n mane* of losing
money should |t rain. h«* goes, to .he
Lloyds and insures himself against the
elements. The Lloyds will bet that it
won’t rain, the man beta that It will.

products last year having the enor

The average man would little sus

Important "4 part In the expense ac
counts of the American farmer and
manufacturer, yet figures compiled by
the census In co-operation with the
United States forest service devetop
this Interesting truth. Moreover, sta
tistics taken directly from reports
from 950 cooperage mills in all parts
of the United States show an increase
of 81.569,688, or 11 per cent, in the
value of last year's product over that
of the previous year.
In distinct Contrast to tight cooper
age stock, which In the main requires
oak timber for its raw material, slack
cooperage stock.- particularly staves
and heading, utilized In greater or less
degree, moat of the commercially Im
portant trees In the country, and for
this reason its manufacture was far
more widely distributed than Is the
case with that of tight cooperage
stock. Twenty-one species of wood
contributed to the total slack stave
production last year. Nearly two-
thirds ,of the output, however, was
manufactured from the four species,
red gum, pine, elm and beech In the
order named.
The figures disclose an Interesting
movement, in the Industry In the sub
stitution of less expensive woods for
those which for many years were
drawn upon most heavily for slack
stavei material, but which, owing to
growing scarcity and advancing cost,
are rapidly being displaced. In' 1906
elm staves . were . manufactured In
larger quantities than those from any
other, wood, and constituted nearly
orie-fourth of the total production for
that year, with pin® and red gum oc-
cupsing second, arid third places, re
spectively. Last year gum Jumped to
first place, pine to second, while elm.
with a falling 6ff of 36 per cent In
production, dropped to third place.
Beech, maple, spruce, chestnut and
ash followed In the order named.
While slack stave and heading pro
duction was reported last year from
practically all the states engaged In
