PASSIONS SLAVE" is success. Not
only does it delight that part of an audience
which is only to be thrilled by the most
palpable virtue and vice, made to laugh by
the simplest fun and astonished by the
trickiest scenery. 1t has a strong and
probable story of a man whose passionate
impulses lead him into unprecedented
crimes of jealous rage and whose sufferings,
bravery and repentance win the sympathy
of the audience. The language is feeling,
the scenes have stirring climaxes, without
any forced or meaningless commotion, and
the level of easy comprehension is descended

THE forty annual statement of the
Connecticut Mutual Life Company, which
we print elsewhere, will not prove dry read
ing to those interested in sound life insur-
ance. 1t is strong exhibit of a method

small percentage of expense to receipts
about nine per cent-and the business done

to policy-holders. The net assets are $780,
12S, ,56S, and the surplus has accumulated to

splendid sturdiness and strength of the
company.
The Farmers Trust Company is doing
careful business and their seven per cent
guaranteed mortgages are sought for by
prudent investors. This is practically a
home company. The directors are we'll
known business men, and all but one are
residents of Vermont. The advantage of
knowing and dealing directly with the
company, of getting interest coupons
cashed without delay and the promptness
with which loans are paid at maturity, make
these securities particularly desirable to
Vermont investors. Farm loans constantly
on hand ranging in amounts from 5000 to
81 900. Parties with funds to invest are in
vited to make a careful examination. Office,
