desire to make this formal acknowled cement for
the prompt and satisfactory adjustment and pay
ment of my loss by the fire of September 25th, by
the Company which you worthily represent.
The course pursued is in proof that the cautious
and prudent ''PhGnix'' adheres to its published
principles, viz: ''To pay all losses promptly, while
ready to resist fraud.''
In this manner they protect the public well as

to their honest patrons since the California

in ten years the old "Pb9nix' has paid to

The great trouble seems to be, that while
the Phoenix takes pleasure in paying all
honest and clearly proven claims with
promptness, they deem it due to themselves
their honest patrons and to the community
to contest fraudulent or improper ones, and

1.-The gentle, kind and good,
With thoughtful face and brow;
A model Of pure grlhood,
Oh, how we miss thee now
With none to fill thy place.
A place that few could fill,
A tongue of truth, form of grace,
We love thee deeply still.
Farewell, departed one.
Dear Ella. fare-thee- we'll;
We feel We know that thou art gone
Among the blest to dwell.
Loving and much beloved,
By all who knew thy worth,
Thy spirit, like a sinless dove,
Has passed to Heaven from earth.
God gave thee for while.
And then he took thee home
A home amid angelic hosts,
Where death may never come.
