INSURANCE.
WHAT THE
Observation-Disclosures RGViaVSayS
In its issue of February, 1892.

1--WE had thought we were pretty well ac-
quainted with the WASHINGTON LIFE IN
SURANCE COMPANY of New York On the
contrary, we are only just now getting on in
innate terms with one of its very best and
strongest features, namely the superior char
acter of its assets. According to our analysis,
over ninety-two per cent. of this company's as
sets are of the best and safest classes known to
the world of finance. Here is how we reach
that conclusion: The best assets a life insur-
ance company can have are loans to policy
holders secured by reserves. The Washington
has S27s, 1904 in such loans. Cash in hand
is certainly safe. The Washington has S247,-
7OS of cash money. A company that pays
losses, as this one does, by the first mail or
press after satisfactory proofs are in, has need
for a fair amount of ready money. Prudent
ly selected real estate, owned outright, is a
safe, and, generally, is profitable asset The
Washington has, at cost value, S501 ,S1S.25 of
such real estate. But the bulk of the above
ninety two per cent consists of first-lien loans
on real estate. The Washington has S9,541,-
1892 in such loans. The property securing
those loans is valued at nineteen million dol
lars.
I'VE emphatically admire and commend the
Washington Lfe's financial tactics in pinning
itself right down to United States soil. There
is nothing safer and more profitable in the
long run than American earth. The policy
holder need not worry who knows that the
funds which back up his policy are loaned on
real estate worth double the amount. Though
banks may crash and great bonded corpora
tons may default, the real estate stays-it can
not run away nor be stolen. AS to value,
when the population of this country perma-
nently ceases to increase, then it may be ex-
pected that average real estate values will
cease to advance, but not until then.
In taking the course which we have men,
toned regarding real estate loans, the WASH
ington Life is on the safest side of safety. 1t is
our privilege to remark incidentally That the
Washington is u thoroughly fair and straight
forward company. If any policy holder is
under any misapprehension concerning his
rights, it is either because he does not ask for
information or because he cannot understand
plain and candid English.

M4DE ROOM For HIM.

In a Pennsylvania village on u
Fourth of July, many years ago, a
certain eloquent member of Congress
was delivering an grafton. He had
rehearsed at some length the virtues
and achievements of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence, and had
taken up the subject of the greatness
of Washington. Working up to the
full height of his eloquence, he asked:
''In what place shall we put the
peerless man of Mt. Vernon? Shall
we put him among the kings of the
earth? No; for he scorned their I'll
tle.n
"Shall we put him among the sol
diers =? No; for he was much more
than soldier.
"Shall we put him among the states
men? No; for the simplicity: of his
lofty genius rose superior to the de-
vices of statecraft."
''In what place, then, shall we put
him-this peerless man
Just then Sandy Mcdowell, u
Scotchman, whose acquaintance with
American history was possibly not
much greater than his liking for
American oratory, rose from his seat
in the midst of the audience.
"Hoot, monr' said he Eye can cen

Its sometimes said patent medicines are
for the ignorant. The doctors foster this idea.
1.-THE people, we're told, "are mostly ignorant
when it comes to medical science" Suppose
they are. What a sick man needs is not know
ledge but cure and the medicine that cures is
the medicine for the sick. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery cures the do believes and
the don't believes" There's no hestance
about it, no ''if'' nor possibly" 1t says-''I
can cure you, only do as 1 direct" Perhaps it
fails occasionally. The makers hear of it
when it does, because they never keep the
money when the medicine fails to do good.
Suppose the doctors went on that principle.

Though critics may bow TO art, and I am its
own true lover,
1t is not art, but heart, which wins the wide
world over.
Though smooth be the heartless prayer, no ear
i'll heaven will mind it,
And the finest phrase falls dead, il there is no
feeling behind it.
Though perfect the players touch, little if any
he sways us,
Unless we feel his heart throb through the mu-
sic he plays us.
Though the poet may spend his life in skill
fully rounding measure,
Unless he writes from a full, warm heart, he
gives us little pleasure.
So it is not the heart which tells, but the i'm
pulse which goes with the saying,
And it is not the prayer itself, but the yearning
back of the praying,
1t is not the artists skill, which into our souls
comes stealing,
With joy that is almost pain, but it is the
players feeling
And it is not the poets song, though sweeter
than sweet bells Ginning,
Which thrills us through and through, but the
heart which beats back of the rhyming.
And therefore say again, though am arts
own true lover,
1t is not art but heart, which wins the wide
world over.

watery s%leepiness, but suddenly became
eager at the sight OF a dollar. He kept a

man who drank the sour beer drawn by

chained to a tree in a back lott; and at eve
