Tontinc Associations--W They
Arc

"Tontine" associations were quite pop
ular at the close of the last and the begin
ming of the present century, but very few
of them carried out the principle of their
organization. The members found that it
required too long time to work out the
problem, and by mutual consent abandon
ed the system In general terms the prin-
ciple was that each subscriber should pay
into a common fund certain small amount
for investment, of which the annual in
come was to be divided among them du-
ring life only. The interest of each ceas-
ed at death, and as the number became
smaller the value of the property to sur
viving subscribers became greater. When
they became reduced by death to certain
number the property was to be absolute
ly divided among them. One such associ-
alton in New York has lasted for eighty
years, and has Just been broken up by the
reduction of the survivors to seven. 1t
was formed in 1899, the subscribers num-
bered two hundred and three, and the pay
ment was $500 each. BY the terms of the
agreement the interest was to continue
through two lives instead of one, the sub
scriber naming some child who should be
the inheritor of his interest. 1t was also
agreed that when the number of survivors
should be reduced to seven the property
should be divided. The 100000 contrib
uted was devoted to the erection of the
Tontine coffee-house, at the corner of Wall
and Water streets, in New York city,
which stood until 1856, when it was pull
ed down and replaced by more modern
structure. At the beginning of the pres
ent year there were still ten of the chill
dren' living, but since that time Mcssrs.
Gulian G. Verplanck and George p. Rog-
ers have died, and now Mr.. p. DeWint
has deceased at Fishkill, leaving only sew
en- shareholders to divide aproperty worth
several hundred thousand dollars.

Saved by a Horse.

Let any man who ever struck faith
full horse in anger read this true story and
be ashamed of himself:
Some years since, party Of surveyors
had Just finished their days work in the
northwestern part Of Illinois, when vio-
lent snow storm came on. They started
for their Icamp, which was in grove Of
about eight acres in a large prairie, nearly
twenty miles from any other timber. "
The wind was blowing very hard, and
the snow drifting so as to nearly blind
them. When they thought they had nearly
reached their camp. they all at once came
upon tracks in the snow. These they
looked at with care. and found, to their
dismay, that they were their own tracks. !.
1t was now plain that they were lost on
the great prairie, and that if they had 20
pass the night there, in the cold and snow.
the chance was that not one Of them would
be alive in the morning.
While they were all shivering with fear
and the cold, the chief man of the party
caught sight of one of their horses gray
pony known as "Old Jack" y
Then the chief said, IF any one can
show us our way to camp, out of this blind
ing snow. Old Jake can do it.. will
take off his bride end let him loose. and
we can follow him. 1 think he will Show
as the camp"
The horse as soon as he found HIMSELF
free, threw his head and tail into the air.
as if proud of the trust that had bosp put
in him. Then he snuffcd the breeze, and
gave loud snort, which seemed to Ay---
"Come on boys! Follow me, III lead you
out of this scrape." He thenlturned in
new direction and trotted aldng. but not
so fast that the men could not follow bin.
They had not gone more than 3 mile Wien 4
they saw the cheerful blaze sof tsfci1 N nR,
fires, and gave a loud huzza at tho sigyex. n
