The Mutual Life Insurance Company, of
New York, one of the oldest and best COM
panies eXtant, gives insurance upon Life and
Endowment plans, at less cost than any other
Upon its Semi Endowment plan, it furnishes
insurance in event of death within twenty
years, and pays one-half the policy in cash at
end of the time if living. At age 40 the rate
is S31 % per $1,000 In twenty years, the
premiums amount to 1924 60, less the $500
then paid, leaves the net cost (without taking
dividends and interest into account,) of 1924.
60 in twenty years, or only So % per year,
while cooperative companies usually admit
probable assessments of $40 per year to carry
every $1,000 payable at death. On these poll
cies the annual dividends will probably re-
turn even this Sc % of annual net cost. They
furnish protection during the working years,
and provide for later life. The agent of the
Company. Mr.. j. E. LAME, is at the Ward
House.

Texas Well, Phil was fervent Chris
tain with great gift of prayer. He
attended all the Saturday night prayer
meetings on the neighboring plantations,
and could pray louder and longer than
any of the brethren. But Phil had one
weakness, he dearly loved money; and
different from the negro generally, he
loved to hoard it. Near by US lived a
man who, not troubled by any scruples,
would pay Phil dollar to work in his
fields OH Sunday. One Sunday night
as Phil came home after dark accosted
him with:
"Where have you been, Phil?"

intention to remove the President. / then

copy of my book, The TRUTH and | spent
a week in preparing that cut out para

there, and added one or two chapters, put
some new ideas in it AMI greatly improved
it. / knew that it would probably have a
large sale on account Of the notoriety that
the act Of removing the President would
give me, and | wished the book to go out to
the public in proper shape, That was one
preparation for it. Another preparation
was to think the matter all out in detail

two or three weeks, and | gave my entire
