ChIeago Llte Insurance companr.


We would call the attention OF our readers
to the advertisement Of the Chicago Life Insur-
anoe Company. 1t should be source Of pride
and satisfaction to the people of the Northwest
that they have company in their midst man
aged and controlled by men that they know :
more especially should this be the case when
you take into consideration the fact that the
Chicago Life Insurance Company commenced
business in 1868, and secured more policies than
any OF The companies commencing the same
year, either in New York or Hartford, and this
too at a ratio Of expenses to income Of about
one half that Of the Eastern CompAsjes of the
same age.
Now that Illinois has good sound law regu
lating Life Insurance Companies and authoriz-
ing them - deposit their securities with the
State, thus placing their Capital where it will
be beyond the reach OF stockholders, il only
remains for our Chicago Life Companies to use
the means in their power TO establish public
confidence in them beyond a doubt: this being
done, their business will increase with rapid
ny heretofore unknown IN the history Of Life
Insurance in tbs country. All these advan-
tages have been and are being acted upon
promptly and vigorously By the Chicago Life,
and their york i spreading, not only through
our own State, but also in Indiana, Ohio, Mich
igan, Iowa and the North west gem rally. Their
Capital, premium system ard dividends, are all
cash, which is universally nosledged 20 be
the only sound basis OF Life Insurance

TwENrY-SEvEN CENTS WORM.
Virginia, where the law fixes the mar
riage fee at one dollar, there is a remin-
scence of couple who many years ago
called on parson and requested him 10
marry them.
"Where is my fee ?" said the function
ary,
The parties who were to unite their
fortunes did SO at once, and found the
joint amount to be twenty seven cents.
''I can't marry you for this sum" said
the irate old gentleman.
''A little bit of service will 90 long
way" suggested the male applicant
tsAh no, said the parsoD, ''you don't
pay for the size of the bill, but for the
good you hope it will do you"
The lass intent on marriage, began to
weep, but the parson was inexorab!e, and
he couple turned sadly to depart Just
then a happy thought seemed to strike
the forlorn maiden, and she turned and
cried through her tears. ''Please, sir If
you can't marry US JinH arp, won't you
marry US twenty-seven cents worthl we
can come for tie rest some other time.''
This was too much for the parson.
He married them "fulI up'' and they went
on their way rejoicing.

The Democratic Rooster.


The Cincinnati Enquirer gives the fol-
lowing account of.the :sCock that crowed
in the MORN" but which lately has wa>
kened the Democracy all forlorn
The rooster was not known in the days
of Jefferson or Jackson. II was not IN
til SO late a period as 1910, the year Of
the ''log cabin, ''hard eider,''' and 'scoon-
skin'' campaign, which resulted in the
election of GeDeral Harrison, that be made

IN Indiana, wboss name He DO not recol-

viods elections. An entbusi4StIc Demo
crat wrote TO friend IN indianapolis the
ne~s, and not knowing Mr. Chapman,
the editor of the Sentinel, personally, re-
quested his friend TO coAmunieate the
facts to Chapman, adding these significant
words, ''Iell Chapman TO crow" He lit
tie thought, by that expression in a pri-
vate letter, be WAS furnishing powerful
party with an emblem which will Last
perhaps for centuries. The writer of the
famous letter is now, doubtless in his
grave, and poor chipman has long been
there. But, catching the inspiration of
his secondhand correspondent, Chapman
did ''crow" in the .SeRtllel, and as the
business Of "crowipg" is usually done by
ehantieleer, he brought out one of those
fine large birds at the head of his columns
That was the first rooster ever placed in
Democratic paper to rejoice over DEM
ocratic victory. As the general results
of that election were against US, it was a
matter of derision for the Whig papers,
when any Wing victory was obtained, to
add these words, 'I1ell Chapman to
crow" This assisted 10 fix The matter in
the popular mind, and nationalize the en-
blem. No better one could have been
adopted. The rooster is probably the
most gallant and brayest Of birds. He is
never conquered as long as he has life.
Beaten to-day, he is ever ready to renew
the fight with his conqueror o-morrow
He is also fine and handsome specimen
of the feathered tribe, and no one more
keenly enjoys victory or loudly proclaims
it. Chapman little thought that by In
Producing that rooster into his columns,
he wss giving his name celebrity which
would never have been attained, even by
his sharp and forcible editorials.
