The Hartford Post SAYS that an action
has been commenced by Anna NJ. Buell.,
relict Of the late Jeptha c. Buell., Of
Cleveland, against the Connecticut Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company for $1,000.
Mr.. Buell. was insured in three other
companies for $4,000 each, making a
total insurance of $4,000. Three Of the
companies do not insure against suicide,
and have comLinedin the defense against
the suits brought on in behalf Of Anna
NJ. Buell.. The case Will very likely be
carried by the party which may be IN
successful in the Circuit Court, to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
We shall then get an adjudication Of the
law Of insurance as to suicides. which
shall be final and authoritative through
out the United States.

Save all your cats. Don't throw
away a cat! Don't permit your ser
want girl to throw away a cat. If you
see one ia cat in an ash barrel pick
her carefully out and save her. Be
cause machinery has been invented in
England which makes silk velvet
