you have been sprinkled by the ew-drops oi

per to ME some accents of love that may cheer
my wearied heart, So far from home, upon thi,

4 MISLEADING COMPARISON
ANSWERED.

The Equitable Life Assurance Society. by
their manager Mr.. Joseph Bowes and Mr.. John
j. Alexander, agent, publish in a recent
issue of the Kgis false and misleading state
ment, by which an attempt is made to COM
pare twenty payment life rate endowment
policy on the annual dividend plan as sold by
the State Mutual Life Assurance Company, of
Worcester, Mass, with a twenty payment life
policy issued on the old full tontine plan by the
Equitable.
The statement is false and misleading for the
reason that under the laws of the State of New
York the Equitable has not been allowed to
issue such policy rs is referred to in the al
legged comparison since January LIST, 1880
By the Act of the New York Legislature of
1879, which is now codified III the Insurance
Laws of New York, 1890, Chapter 600 the is
prohibited. The State Mutual has never sold
tontine insurance, and therefore no fair diyi-
dend comparison can be made on policies as
The premiums and guaranteed values on
policies issued today by each Company are as
follows:
Premium Equitable Life, 90 pay't
Life, free tontIne, age 30 is.... $175 90
Premium State Mutual Lite, 20 pay't
life rate endowment, age 35is...... III 90

in annual premium. -. ........... 1873 80
Total difference in favor State Mu-
tual in cash end 20 years. $500 OS
Which is equal to more than two annual pre-
miums.
Mr.. Bowes in his article states that the kind
of insurance that will prove the safest and
cheapest is not so well understood, We agree
fully with this statement and in order that
THE people of Hartford County may more full
ly understand the two methods we quote here
from the annual report for 1882 one of our
leading Companies the meaning of Tontine in
Surance.
THE principle of the game is to rob the I'M
fortunate by canceling their policies without
consideration, when it is found impossible to
of the game is alleged to be the opportunity
for companies which pay very small dividends
to conceal the fact for a term of years called
Tontine Period. We advise every man to be-
ware of any company which engages in the
Tontine game"
Hartford county then is do they desire legitimate
Mutual Life Insurance with annual distribution of
dividends, Annual Cash and paid-up values
guaranteed without speculative features.
Nothing left to doubt. Nothing inequitable or
unfair. Or do they desire the Tontine variety.

Compartment Cars on the Pennsylvania
Limited.

The American people of to-day are the best
ira, elers III the world. They require the best
accommodations, and it is the aim of the rail-
roads and the sleeping car lines to supply
them. Many people desire exclusiveness in
their accommodations which has heretofore
been provided in the drawing and state rooms
The demand for the drawing-roOms is increas-
ing. and in order to meet it the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has added to the already
comprehensive and complete equipment of the
Pennsylvania Limited compartment car.
This car, finished in the usually luxurious style
of the Limited cars, contains two large draw
ing-rooms and seven state-rOOmS. The draw
ing-rooms contain a section and one lower
berth, the state-rooms one section. Both have
complete and individual lavatory arrange
ments
In this car one may enjoy all the privacy of a
hotel room, and travel almost as much seclud-
ed as in private car.
The Pennsylvania Limited, leaving New
York every day at 10 A. NJ, Philadelphia 100
noon, Washington, 1890 A. NJ, Baltimore
LAO A. NJ, and arriving at Chicago 900 A.
NJ next day, is the only perfectly appointed
Limited Express running between the Eastern
cities and Chicago.

Value Of Water Storage.

1.-THE number two reservoir,
built by the farmers under Cache
la Poudre Canal No. 2 year ago
at a cost of s1O5,000 more than
paid for itself in one years use,"
said Prof. L. G. Carpenter in a
lecture before the short course in
agriculture at the agricultural col
lege. This reservoir contained
about seven thousand acre feet of
water, and thus gives means of
estimating the value Of water. ''In
the same valley" he continued,
"there was during the year an
average of thousand cubic feet
per second flowing to waste for
ten days, or a total of 10000 acre
feet. At the value which these
farmers found the water possessed
there was an amount of water fow-
ing to waste IN this one valley
alone which, by storing, would
have increased the market value
of the products by 100000 in one
year.

Tne Peril of Anarchism.

The assassination of President
Carnot adds melancholy emphasis
to the fact that anarchism is one
of the serious dangers of the pres
ent time, not only in France, but
throughout the civilized world.
There is spirit of hostility to
established authority in all the
leading countries, regardless OF
the nature and effect of any patio
ular form of government. That
is to say, it does not antagonize a
monarchy more than a republic,
and does not make any distinction
in the matter of different kinds of
laws and institutions. It is
against all laws and all accepted
means for the enforcement of JUS
tice and the protection of life and
property. n
There is evident need of strong
and viligant repressive action.
The time to suppress anarchism is
when it first intimates its presence,
and begins to SOW the seeds of
incendiary movements. 1t is the
right and the duty of every nation
to thus protect itself against a Wit
al danger; and in the proportion
that this duty is neglected, deeds
like the killing Of Carnot are
invited.-Globe Democrat.

One of the leaks on the farm is in the
amount of money paid for machinery
which is allowed to stand out in the field
when not in use. Machinery is damaged
much more by the clements than by act
ual use. In these times of low prices it
behooves the successful farmer to look
about him and see where he can best cur
tail expenses, and in no way can this be
done to greater advantage than by care
fully shedding all kinds OF machinery
used on tho farm.
The hump-backed style of bicycling
is not only hideously ungraceful but
wholly unnecessary. 1t is matter of
handles. The back-humping handles
represent the machine as it is farmed for
racing. A racing man, like a camel or H
jack-rabbit, has to hump himself for
speed. But handles can be put on any
machine which will enable the rider to
sic up like happy, healthy and indie
pendent American gentleman out for
pleasure and not for business. There is
no excuse for the hunchback of the rae
ing track.

Protect the Birds.

The horticultural society and

the Grand Junction News, should
take some steps looking to the

growers have slaughtered birds
this season, ignorantly supposing
that they were thereby protecting
their orchards. If he had taken
the trouble to examine this bird $
crop under microscope he would
doubtless have found that they
were of ten times more benefit
than detriment to the orchard.
