The Grent Western Farr1 Insurance Co.-Lifs
g Insurance aud Farm Insurance.
By PROF. j. d. BUTLER.

Life insurance means honesty for
come men and policy for many more.
In no other way can they pay their
debts, or obey the apostles charge that
a man provide for his own and es-
pecially those of ais own house."
But good us is the life insurance, farm
insurance in the shape of lands sold on
ten years credit is better.
Both give great prize in retu.n for
a number of small annual payments.
But farm insurance gives that boon
in the midst Of life, insurance only at
the end oft. One gives for man him
self to enjoy, the other emily for his
heirs. One performs, the other prom
ises.
"Death," said an Irishman, sis no
great curse for it always comes just
where we would have it, ct the end of
life and never at the beginning" But
this is more than can be said Of life in
surance, for its blessings come at the
wrong end of life, not, like death aud
farm insurance, at the right end.
Besides, in farm insurance the pay.
ments are nine or ten, but in life insur-
ance they may be SO multitudinous
that they will amount to several times
the value of the prize drawn at last.
The one is lottery, the other square
dealing.
Again, farm insurance gives you in
! the outset mine which pays for itself
for out of it you can dig net only a
living but gold for all payments. Life
insurance makes no such pretentions.
/ It is all post mOrtem- and nothing Gin
the living present" In this aspect life
insurance resembles the patent Tanta
lus of Sidney Smith. That reverend
joker had bag of oats hung before
the tongue of his carriage. The horse
! hearing the oats rattle just ahead,
would rush forward with all his legs,
yet could never quite thrust has nose
into the dainties. On the other hand
farm insurance gives a mess of grain
before the journey begins, and all
along manya batting to prepare fer
each hard pull before the home stretch.
Nor is this all. What life insurance
promises is a fixed sum. But the land
given by farm insurance is always
growing in value. Less than forty
years ago the whole area Of Iowa could
have been bought for forty millions ol
dollars. 1t was sold by the United
States for less than that. To-day il
would bring more than ten times that
sum.
Give me then first farm insurance
and then life insurance.
Within thirty-three months, the
Great Western Farm Insurance Com
pany, alias the Burlington q MissOu-
ri River railroad company, have sold
along their line, in Iowa and Nebras-
ka, AIS 988 acres to 4, 525 purchasers.
on ten years, credit, and six per cent.
interest. They now require no pay
ment en- the principal till the end OF
four years after purchase. Farmeri

The Fort Dodge Qowa) Messenger
offers the following satirical protest
against pardon and Cancellation for
the Ku-Klux Of the South:
"The recent pardoning of the South
Carolina murderers, and the SUGGEST
ful slaughter of the negroes in Grant
parish, has warmed the Ku-Klux of
the South into renewed activity. They
have notified the United States Reve-
nue. Collector in the third distaict Of
Tennessee that certan officers must
leave that district within thirty days,
or both they and himself will besmur-
dered. The Democratic papers will
doubtless hold Grant responsible for
all outrages in that section, unless he
promptly orders that collector and
other United States officers to leave
that country, and thus relieve their
excited brothers of their irritating
presence"
The New York Tiibuns says: Miss
Greeley being very dssirous TO obtain
as many rs possible of the letters o.
her father, the late Horace Greeley.
will esteem it great favor on the part
of any of his friends having letters Of
interest written by him, if they will
kindly enclose such letters to her by
mail, that she may take copies, after
which she will return the original 10
their several owners. Such friends
will please address Ida L. Greeley,

for an hour after awaking, that she
might better collect her shattered senses.
She had beautifully adorned the cham
Der with books and flowers. In the
window hung gilded cage, from which
the trilling notes of canary fioated
through the air. The patient rubbed
her eyes and gazed about her.
81 wonder if this isn't heaven ?" she
whispered. 'pve always imagined that
when people die they awake In some
place like this"
After a while she ventured TO speak
to the bird as it trolled its roundelay.
"Sweetw answered the tiny warbler as
it fitted to and fro.
"Yes, yes, this must be heaven; but
why am left alone?"
"You are not alone, my dear govern
ess; neither are you in heaven. You
are snug and safe with Ellen Darcy
Dowd. You have been very i'll, and
now you are my patient and must lie
very still till you recover, and then
we'll have delightful visit together,
talking over old times"
"Old times? Yes, 1 remember; he
wouldn't own me as his wife. He took
our son away from me, and when ]
threatened to expose his designs upon
you, he always sileneed me by saying
he'd kill my boy"
Eager as was Ellen's curiosity to hear
more, she felt that it would not be safe
to permit her to talk.
"You can tell me the rest tomorrow
but not now, my dear" kissing the
once fair brow, now furrOwed with years
and sorrow.

ued wildly, "but 1 wasn't wicked.

look of a second alternative between
marriage and starvation. For the gen.
erous law, which takes the widow and
the fatherless into its gracious care, gave
her n lChOLe third of her husbands
estate, while the other two thirds went
to distant cousins, already burdened
with over richness. Her first act after
Col. Allston was covered with the sod,
was to take out guardianship papers for
Blossom, then to receive her "Babie"
again to her arms.
Some of you who were of the con-
course of women that went up TO our
State House day after day, short time
ago, to add the argument of your pres
eHce to your earnest beseeehings for the
right OF self-gOvernment, may have
seen q pale-faced woman who never
failed to be there while the debate went
on. She was one whose footballs had
lost all the elasticity of youth, whose
brow was furrowed with deep lines of
care, whose mouth had a pathetic
droop, yet whose earnest eyes took in
the significance of the scene, with fer
vent, prayerful desire that the wisdom
of God would illumine these councils Of
men. And when that Honorable spoke
who gave the last utterance against our
cause, he who brought the blush of
shame to pure cheeks by his assertions
that woman and virtue would be forever
