self "She'll never know it's whisky;
he's so particular about it."
Then with great satisfaction he drank 1t
oil, and they walked out. Next day the
young man reappeared in the drug store.
"What was that terrible stuff you gave
me last night?n
"Wheuyn

The National Mutual Life Associa

affords peculiar advantages In insurance.
In most other assessment companies the
assessments are so small aud so frequent that
they become source Of annoyance and
confusion.
AS times are hard and business dull IL
becomes the interest of all to study this
plan. Many societies make as many as
twenty assessments in year, besides charg-
ing yearly and quarterly dues, etc
The National Mutual Life Association
makes assessments upon death only, and
after admission there are no charges except
upon mortuary assessments. In 1888 we
had but three.
