food, and their teeth were naturally

A Noble Life.

Joseph Cook has said that to the true
and good death does not end all, and
this principle was beautifully illustra-
ted recently by the conduct of Mr.. G.
II. Stubs, of Wymore, who was sud-
denly stricken down while az work. 1t
was discovered after his death that he
had made ample provision, although 4
poor man, for his sorrowing wife and
little ones, by setting aside ten cents
each day during the past year, with
which he had procured, and paid all the
assessments upon, S3,000.00 policy in
the Western Mutual Benevolent Associ-
alton of Beatrice. He was a hard
working day-laborer, ard his wages
only brought him fair support for his
family; and yet at cost that was not
felt, by wise foresight, he has left an
amount in cash sufficient to place his
wife above want, and even educate his
children. Since his death it is shown
that his humble life was filled with love
and regard for those who live after
him. In the hearts of his loved ones he
still lives. His work for them did not
stop in sickness and death. With him
death did not end ALL

The Finding Of Greely.

wards that the sound was heard by
those who lay in the tent, which was
partly blown down. Barnard and Long
succeeded in creeping out from under

nothing was seen by them; and Brain

silent despair of his face that "there
was no hope" The survivors discussed
the probable cause of the noise, and de-
cided that it was the wind blowing
over the edge of tin can. Meanwhile
Long crept higher up the hill and
watched attentively in the direction
from which the sound had apparently
come. A small black object met his
gaze. 1t might be rock, but none
had been seen there before. A thin
white cloud appeared above it; his ear
caught the welcome sound, and the
poor fellow knew that relief had come.
In the ecstacy of his Joy he raised the

The effort proved too much for him,
and he sank exhausted on the rocks. 1t
was enough for the relief party; they
saw him, whistled again, and turned in
for the shore with all possible speed.
Long rose again, and fairly rolled down
the hill in his eagerness to meet them.
The launch touched tie ice foot, and
the relief party buried towards him.
The ice-pilot of the Bear reached him
first, spoke word of cheer, and asked
him where Greedy was. He informed
of the location of the tent and the state
of the party. They hurried in the di-
rection indicated, and soon reached the
tent, while Mr.. Lowe took Long off to
the Bear.

Wise Legislation I'm Nebraska.

The legislature of this state has wisely
provided for the support and security OF
the people in the organization of mutual
life associations on the deposit of $780,
900 to be paid to beneficiary members
in case of death. This law practically
does away with the old style high priced
life insurance companies and gives
every man chance to provide for his
family in easel sickness and death at
the actual cost of such risk This plan
IS SO inexpensive rs to bring safety
within the reach of every man who loves
his family and does not live for himself
alone. The mutual plan, under the
law, is very simple. In case of the
death of member the others pay to the
company for his family their pro rata
according to age. 1t costs not TO exceed
40 cents for one "a years old and not to
exceed S1.00 for one 50 years of age for
each death loss. A guarantee fund of
S1OO,O0O is required of the association
before the state auditor will issue au-
thority to do business. Thus every
man, rich or poor, can, without taking
the bread out of his children's mouths
while he lives, be absolutely sure that
in case of his death his wife and little
one will be provided for. AS yet only
one company has been organized and
qualified by the deposit of the required
capital upon the mutual plan in Ne
braska. 1t is known as the western
Mutual Benevolent Association" of
Beatrice, and is is doing good work
in the support of the helpless
and unfortunate. Agencies of this
association are being established over
the state as fast as possible, so as to
bring its benefits within the reach of
all. The simplicity of It's plan, the
economy of management, and the alb
solute safety and responsibility of the
association under the law, is the best
to members who realize the !
duty OF some protection. Every man |
worthy of life and worthy of his family
realizes the shortness and uncertainty |
of life, and lives not for himself alone. |
The highest life and noblest characters
are attained in providing for others.
Every husband and father should pro-
vide in youth for old age, in health for
in life for death, and a failure
to do so is a neglect of duty, and es-
pecially so when the opportunity is
placed within his reach, without even
being burden, by this Western Mutual
Persons desiring full information in
regard to this benevolent organization
can obtain the same from the established
agencies or by writing direct to the
secretary of the association at Beatrice,
Neb. We can fully recommend every
hing about this company, from its plan
and organization to its economical adj
in the smallest matters of
business. 1t is absolutely safe and re-

She Cost Her Weight in Colo.
From the Tucson Star.

From the Tucson Star
Mrs. Jesus Castro, an aged Mexican
lady, now residing at American Flag,
in the Santa Catalina mountains, is per-
haps the only woman who, literally
speaking, ever cost her husband her
weight in gold. 1t is said that in the
early gold-digging days of California
she was a resident of Sonora, in which
state she was born and grew to woman
hood. When about the age of seven
teen paternal uncle, but few years
her senior, returned with his compan-
ions, gold-laden. from the Ell Dorado
of the west and became desperately
enamored of her. He sought her hand
IN marriage and was accepted. but the
church refused, because of the near re-
lationship existing between them, to
solemniZe the marriage.
Persuasion beng in vain, he tried the
power Of gold to win the church his
way, and succeeded only by the pay
ment of her weight in gold. Size at
the time weighed III pounds, and
against her in the scales the glittering
dust vas shcveled. Her affianced hus-
band still had sufficient of this worlds
goods to provide O comfortable home
and they were married. They lived
happily together and she bore to her
husband eleven children. In the course
of years he died and she married again,
MIR. Castro being her second husband.
the above is fact and not fiction, az
living witnesses can prove.

A Sad Death.

patent cough syrup, containing NOR
phia. DR.. Sam'l X. Cox. of Washing
ton, states that not one cough medicine
in ten is free from this objection. After
careful analyses and practical tests he
endorses Red Star Cough Cure as being
purely vegetable, absolutely free from

CARDS it as a most happy and valuable
discovery.
