surance policies that do insure against
all contingencies and cause of death.
A man wants to feel the same security
and absence of anxiety in reference to
his policy that he would in a govern.
ment bond. If man pays his premi-
ums faithfully when he is living he
wants the insurance paid faithfully
when he is dead. The fluctuations of
fortune and the general uncertainties
of life cause enough policies to lapse
during the lifetime of the insured; but
if man perseveres and pays his pre-
miums until his death occurs, it is un.
just and wrong that there should lie
any possible dispute thereafter, and
the knowledge Of such possibility
has kept thousands from insuring.
The indisputable policy of the
Union Mutual Aid Association covers
all objections of this sort. The 50.
ciety merits the vast patronage it is
receiving from the public. Its officers
and directors are among the best
known business men of Iowa, and
abundantly possessed of the material
tn at makes success certain. It has com.
piled with the laws of Iowa, and de-
posted with the Security Loan and

RIGHT ON TIME.
The uan.WhO Has Not Shaved Since
1860 Turns Up.
From the Philadelphia Times.


A tall, broad-shouldered man Of
apparently ffty-fve years, walked
into Binders Seventh street bar
Der shop on Saturday afternoon
and seated himself III a chair. A
heavy black beard covered his
face and his shirt front and was
finally lost to sight within the ca
pacious recesses of his waiscoat.
"Hair cut, sir?' said the barber,
as he began to tuck a towel around
the collar of his customer, prelim-
mary to picking up his shears.
The old man, who had been busy
with his beard during this inter
val, now exposed it to the aston
ished gaze of the shop. 1t reach
cd fully three inches below his
knees when it was uncoiled. He
replied: "No, but" here he glanc-
ed around the shop with a trium-
phant smile-"I want this beard
taken off clean" Apparently see
ing that some explanation would
be welcome to the astonished gath
cring of BARRIERS and customers,
the old man said in tones that
showed the emotion stirring with
il him:
For twenty-four years no "a
zor has touched my face. This
beard is the result 1t was in 1860.
1 was as spruce a young chap as
ever kicked up his heels at a Ian
caster county wedding and every
body knea young Joe Barstow
IN parts. They called me young
Joe to make a difference between
the old man and me. The old
man was a Bourbon Democrat to
the backbone and [ was with him
till the split in the 1850 Conven-
tom when the Southerners put up
John c. Breckenridge and We
the North-nominated Stephen 4.
Douglass. The old man went in
