AN INSURANCE INCIDENT.

A remarkable incident in insurance bus.
mess is reported by Messrs. Hedges q
Hodges, the agents in Boston of the Mu.
tual Benefit Life Insurance Company, of
Newark. Mr.. Charles Barrett, of Ash
burnham, Mass. took policy from that
company in 1876, he then being fifty eight
years of age. 1t was life policy, prem
iums payable annually during the life of
the insured, the amount of policy being
made payable on his death to his repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Barrett has paid the
premiums for thirty-eight years, and is
still living, at the age of ninety-six, in
very fair health. The company, by the
hand of its President Mr.. AMI Dodd,
has Just addressed him letter. enclosing
a check for 81 ,034. IA, the amount of the
policy, 81, 900, together with the dividend
for the current year, of $34.14. In his
letter. President Dodd says to the veteran
policy holder: ''Since however, you have
this year attained the age of ninety-six,
and have thus reached the extreme limit
of life, according to the table of mortality
upon which our business is based, we feel
that we may properly pay the policy in
full, without any infringement on the
equitable rights of other parties" Mr..
Barrett is the only member of the COM
pany that has outlyed the mortality ia
BILE, and it is probable that there has been
no parallel case of longevity in any other
insurance business in the country.

ANYWHERE BUT ATLANTA.
An Almle.s Traveller From North Carroll,

An Atntess Traveller FROM NORTH tnrOitnn.
Capt Fred Bush lins met many queer
travellers, but recently he encountered two
of the most helpless that crossed his path.
The two were q good-looking, sun-burned,
hard handed North Carolina woman and her
little 7-year-old boy. They arrived in the
;ity by the Piedmont Air Line, and after
wandering aimlessly about came to Capt.
Bush in the car she'd
. want tickets said the woman, "t
Texas, KY"
The womans dazed look, and her evident
greenness attracted attention, and Capt.
Bush asked her several questions.
" You want to go TO Paris, Ky.?" he in
quired.
Oh, I'm not paitr'lar," replied the
woman 9 jist so I git to Kentucky will do
. What part of Kentucky 2"
" Anywhere on the aige will suit me-"
" Would you just as soon go to Ten
nessee Z"
:" Yaas, Tennessee's pow'ful good State
Pm ready to go thar"
6 Perhaps you would like tickets to Arkan.
SOS ~
" Good enough I'll take tickets to ole
Arkansas. Anything to git outer hyar This
is the strangest place ever seen--so many
houses and so many folks. I'm afeard to
'tay hyar."
Further questioning developed the fact
that the travellers were from the mountains
Of Western North Carolina The woman
he'd heard that money was to be earned
easily in the cities by washing clothes and
scrubbing floors, and selling her household
goods she had started with her fatherless
boy out into the great and unknown world
to seek her fortune. Her trip TO Atlanta
was her first ride on the railroad. After
hearing the woman's sto-y, Cap. Bush kind
ly told her that she had no business tc
travel without guardian, that her journey
was a rash experiment likely to end dis.
astrously, and that her best course would
be to return home, where she had friends
and perhaps relations, who took an interest
in her. The inexperienced traveller readily
took his advice, purchased return tickets to
her mountain home, aud with her boy de-
parted on the next train, evidently in better
spirits than when she first landed here
