New York Telegram. !

New York Telegram.l
A beautiful and bashful young lady
of 10 summers called recently at the
office OF a life insurance agent, and
asked him timidiy if he could tell her
how long people of certain age would
live.
MADAM, replied the agent, cough
ing respectfully behind prospectus.
and drawing his chair near to her,
''here are our tables OF expectation aud
average mortality, which contain all the
information upon the subject that
you can desire"
"Well, said she, chow long will a
man of 81, and who eats peas with his
knife, live?'
according to our table, madam,
replied the agent, she should, on the
average, survive eleven years, three
months aud sixteen days
That. said the visitor, would be
till the 2lst OF April, 1896.
Precisely, madam, on the average
expectation of mortality, for we must
all die, and it is therefore well to in
sure against loss to the loved ones in a
company whose character"
"And how much could l insure his
life for:"
''Oh, for any amount-say $40, ,000r'
he answered, taking up blank form of
application. ''Let me recommend the
unexpected advantages offered by our
non-forfeitable endowment policy"
swell. said the young woman II
think, then, that I'll marry him."
ENSURE HIM, you mean," corrected
the agent.
''Eo, marry him; you insure him.
You see, she added with burst of
confidence, 81 love Herbert, and Mr..
Dawkins is old enough to be my grand.
father. But Herbert is poor, and just
worship the corner lots that Mr.. Daw-
kins builds on; but Herbert is very pa.
tient. and says if l will only fix day,
no matter how long he will have to
wait, he will be happy. And now you
say MIR. Dawkins will die by the 2lst
of April, 1896; and as it wouldn't be
decent to marry again till I've been q
year in mourning, I'll arrange to marry
Herbert on the 22d of April. 1897, and
f.Mr. Dawkins doesn't die by then
you'll give me $4,000. Oh, thank
you!" and with deep bow she swept
out Of the Office.
