CHAPTER XXII.
POETA. NON FIT.

1t soon became Obvious that the salmon
fishers from the other side of the Atlantic
had got into n long spell of deplorably
fine weather, and a gentle melancholy
settled down upon the souls of the gillies.
In vain morning after morning the men
searched every quarter of the heavens Tor
any sign of even u couple of days deluge,
to flood the rivers and send the kelts down
and bring the clean salmon up from the
sea. This wild and bleak region grew to
be like some soft summer fairy land the
blue loCh and the yellow h, ldlands, and
the far treeless stretches of moor lay
baskinS in the sunlight; Ben Ioyafs pur-
pies and browns were clear to the summit;
Ben Clebrig's SHOWS had nearly all melted
away Nor could the Disconnected boat
men understand how the two strangers
should accept this state of affairs with
apparent equanimity. Both were now
provided with a book; and when the rods
had been properly set 50 as to be ready for
any emergency, they could pass the time
gliding over the smooth waters and drink
ing in the sweet mountain air. AS for
Miss Carry, she had again attacked the
first volume of Gibbon-for she would not
be beaten: and very startling indeed it was
when fish did happen to strike the min
now, to be so suddenly summoned back
from Palmyra to this Highland loch. In
perfect silence, with eyes and attention
all absented, she would be reading thus:

STATEMENT.

The undersigned, a Commit
tee of Directors Of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance Society Of
the United States, appointed to
formulate the views ofthe Board
on the advantages offered by
the Society to the public report
1st The Society issues all
the approved forms of Assur-
ance, including Ordinary Life,
Endowment, and Tontine poll
cies. 1t is immaterial to the
Directors which form Of policy
is taken by intending assurers.
I'd. The Life and Endowment
forms of policy provide for annu-
al cash dividends and SUR
render value; are indisputable
after three years, and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
sd. The premiums on a Ton
tine policy are the same as on
the Ordinary Life, but, while the
latter is only payable in the
event of death, the holder of the
Tontine policy has the right to
draw the whole of the reserve
and the accumulated profits in
cash at the end of the stated
period; thus, during his own
life time, after his producing
years are past, he can without
any Lar ger premium than on an
ordinary policy, secure these
GREAT Err advantages.
4th. Experience shows that the re-
turn paid in cash on maturing Tontine
policies approximates to, or exceeds
the amount of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the inter-
est on the premiums.
5th. Tontine Policies, like others,
are paid in full in the event of death at
any time during the term of the policy,
and are incontestable after three years,
and payable imme dately after due proof
of death.
.. 9th. Experience shows that the NOR
= tally is lower among Tontine policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurance, which is a consider
; able source Of profit.
9TH. TOntine Policies will be
made nOn-fOrfeitable under the
laws of the State, if so desired
at the time the assurance is eff
fectei.
r Sth. The TOntine system is
| fair and just it's accounts are
i accurately kept, separate from
e all other business; the funds
judiciOusly invested and inn
9 proved, and the accumulated
' profits faithfully guarded and
= properly appOrtiOned.
9th. The Society has since it's
1 amount of new business than
Z any other company, while its
' new business for the first half
. of the present year is ST $780,
: 900 larger than that of the first
4 half of 1884. 1t has Assets of
4 $6O,OOO,OOO; over $4,000
a 900 of Surplus, and its ratio of
Surplus to Liability is greater
q than that of any other cOmpa-
t ny.

LAKE MILLS.

During the past week considerable
discussion has been had in regard to the
legality of the recent village election.
The inspectors of the election neglected
to take an oath prior to entering upon
the discharge of their duties. Some of
the minority were induced to believe that
the result might prove favorable to their
interests When the board met Monday
evening, John Winnek filed protest,
signed by Frank Willard and John Viii
son, warning the board against taking
any action. Several prominent lawyers
in Madison and Fort Atkinson haye been
consulted, and in every case the opinion
has been given that the existing board is
all right, and that they need not fear to
perform all duties required of them.

General Bragg's seat in congress. Later
Postmaster General Villas concocted the
scheme of offering him the attorneyship,
and Mr.. Delaney is only hesitating in
accepting that for fear an acceptance
