A Model Showing.

The tenth annual statement Of the
Kansas Mutual Life Association just
issued makes u magnificent showing
for that substantial Kansas institution
The company has during the year 1891
increased its assets S32 AIS and pmd
death claims IT, the amount of $50, $50.
IL has now ON its books $S,25G zoo
worth of insurance and allowing the
usual ratio Of risk its surplus over all
claims is Sl2i ,2Si. The company has
paid out to Kansas people in the past
ten years 1928 900 and has not had u
claim 20 before jury. Its promptness
In settling Is prOverbial and II usually
is the frat one to pay death losses
where several companies have risks
The kansa, Mutual Is pre- emibently n
Kansas institution aud deserves the
hearty patronage Of the Kansas people
Conducted as 1t now Is there In all the
safety Of an old line company with
much less expense. In the regular life
policies only present insurance is paid
for and there is no reason why every.
one should not suitably provide for
family luances at the inevitable tukiug
off of the protector.
The Kansas Mutual will ir "a few
days remove its offices to Topeka and
II may be expected that its future will
be more successful even than its pest.

As THE mind OF man is so limited in
Its ability to receive and retain. there
must be continual selection going on
between what to know and what to re
frain from knowing The wise man
has discovered that OF the vast amount
OF truths and facts and wonders and
ideas with which the universe Is TEEN
Ing only a small fraction can by any
possibility be his and his intelligence
has no more important task to per.
form than that of deciding not only
what to choose, but what to refuse.
Thus Wherever there is a wise knowl.
edge there is also wise and neces.

Two Christinn Workers Coma

Ia the departure OF Mr. aud Mrs. W
G. Sherman last weeh, the city lose,
two ot its most efficient workers.
Mr.. Sherman as general secretary OF
the Y. Nj. g. A. has done work fol
young men that will not only prove OF
lasting benefit to themselves, but will
also make them much more of bless,
ing To Others than they otherwise
would have been but for his example
and teaching. Though his labors were
mostly confined to association work, he
rendered valuable assistance in other
lines of Christian work, being alwa, 8
ready to lend helping hand whenever
his other duties would permit.
Mrs. Sherman will be no less missed
than her husband, having been the
faithful and efficient leader of Z
Boys Bible class, Girls Willing Work
ers' band aud Kings Daughters and an
active worker In the Sunday school
and kindred organizations. The un-
usual interest taken in supplying the
wants of the poor of the city during
the present winter is probably due to
her more largely than to any other
person.
During their nearly two years
residence among us Mr.. and Mrs.
Sherman have won many friends who
greatly regret their departure. After
leaving Abilene they spent few days
In R0ssvllle and Topeka, leaving the
latter place yesterday for California.

1t is credit to any one to dress well and
make good appearance; in fact, It is a
duty we owe to our fellow men. There is
quite as much reason that our homes
should make good appearance. as well as
being comfortable, for there we spend the
greater part of our time, nnd the moral in
fiuences of living in comfortable quarters
among pretty surroundings cannot be 9TH
