HOW 10 Meet RespoDsibili,ies.

Never anticipate difficulties by bring
ing them forward yourself, but be ready
at every point fairly to meet them when
presented, by insuring your life in the
''Mutual of New York;
If you die uninsured, with your debts
unpaid, where will your family bep but
if you assure and die your creditors
may be paid at once.
Many one says that he is well off
without insurance, but how often do
the rich become poor?
Some persons have religious scruples
against life insurance. Scripture does
not forbid, but teaches insurance and
prudence.
Some people object to life insurance
because it is expensive; 15 cents day
in one year amounts to S54.75; this sum
will secure a life policy for a man aged
81, in the sum of 1880, and if he
should live to good age the amount to
be paid yearly would be very small and
the value of the policy would be largely
increased.
Some persons refuse to insure for fear
that they will be unable to continue
their payments, or may lose all that
they put in. Have you not had the
value of your money in the risk as In a
fire policy? Ard better. Non-forfeit-
ure, which is one of the features of the
'iMutual Life" prevents the possibility
Of losing what is put in.
Please remember that the Mutual
Insurance company of New York, is the
largest and best life insurance company
in the world, and defies successful con-
tradiction. It is also the cheapest, be-
cause it pays the largest dividends. For
further information, circulars. blotters.
ETC., etc., apply at 30S Ferguson street,
Cheyenne.

Also bear in mind that the best busi-
mess men and finaneiers of Cheyenne
have taken STS, SEQ INSURANCE in said
company in the past 65 days, and there
is now over s320,000 insured in said
company in Cheyenne. -
AT Bruner's you will also find the

accidental company in the world, and

NEW YEARS CALLS.
The Chicago style of Receiving Calls

A table should be spread, as if for an
ordinary reception or party, in the back
parlor or dining room. A servant
should open the street door without
waiting for the sound of the bell. The
gentlemen leave their cards in the hall.
They enter the drawing room hat in
hand, or they may leave it in the hall
with overcoat and cane. II their visits
are made without a carriage, this dis
position of their outer garment is u
necessary safeguard to health. Ladies
in full costume require the atmosphere
of their drawing rooms to be kept at
heights which are intolerable to visitors
wearing heavy outer coats. Ladies rise
TO receive their guests, but, if the
apartment be not crowded it is not i'm
proper to be seated. The hostess offers
her hand to her guest when he enters,
and after an interchange of friendly
wishes he is presented to her lady
friends, to whom he bows and wishes a
happy year; but it is not expected that
the young or unfamiliar ladies will ex-
tend their hands to him. If the visitor
has been invited by guest of the hos
tess, the latter meets him with the
same cordiality as if he were her own
friend. When the sentiment usual to
the season has been expressed, a SER
want offers him coffee or other refresh
ments. provided the rooms be not
crowded, in which case he may seek the
table without invitation if he desires
food. Perhaps one of the lady enter
tainers, who wishes to be especially
attentive, may accompany him to the
feasting room, even If she be obliged to
return to her place directly to receive
the other guests. A servant will sup
ply his wants; but whether he eats or
declines refreshments his visit must be
very brief. not to exceed five or ten
minutes. If he has visited the refresh
ment room, he may retire from the
house without interrupting the hostess,
provided she be occupied with later Wis
itors. In any event, even if she be not
very deeply engrossed, he need only
bow to each lady as he passes out from
their presence.

Referring to the projected railroad
from Cheyenne to the Black Hills the
Lead City Enterprise says:
The ground from Cheyenne out, for
the distance of 100 miles, is compara-
lively level, and could be easily graded
and the track laid long before the COM
ing summer wanes. If our mine own
ers and merchants, especially the lat
ter, who are constantly losing two,
three, and sometimes even four months
between here and the various railroad
termini, put their shoulders to the
wheel, and the various interested coun-
ties follow the lead of Laramie, it
would not be impossible to have the
Cheyenne and Black Hills road well

now lays with them. in a great meas
ure, to determine whether they will
have railroad communication with the
outside world in one or two years.
