TESTIMONY OF A LIBERAL
CONTRACT.

The Investment pc licies Of the Uni
ted States Life Insurance Company
give the option OF a 'spaidup policy"
or extended insurance" to any policy
holder whom misfortune NAV Oyertake
after three full years premiums have
been paid.
1t can thus be seen that a policy of
life insurance not only benefits q man
or his family in times of prosperity,
but may become doubly valuable in
in seasons OF adversely. Many fam
lily has found after the death of it's
bread winner that the money coming
from paid-up policy of life insurance
was all that was between them and
poverty.
Under the ''extention clause" of the
United Sla tes Life policies, the full
risk is carried by the Company during
as long period as the Reserve Val
ne" of tile policy will suffice for. If a
death occurs during this period the
| as will appear from the following il
| lustration:
Mr.. JohrA. Hamilton, Of East Sag
| NAV, Michigan, was insured in the
| United States Life Insurance Com
| pany for $1,000 ON the the twenty year
| endowment plan, on the 10th day of
| November, 1880. He made three pay
ments Of premiums, and on the 10th
| day of November, 1888, his policy
lapsed for non-payment of premium.
! Under the special features of this
( Company the policy was extended
without further payment to the go
| of June, 1890. Had he been insured
in the Mutual Life or some of the
other old companies, he would haye
simply received at the time of lapse, q
paid-up policy for $3.50, or three TWEEN
tieths of the face of the policy. Mr.
Hamilton died within the period O.
Of extenticn, and the amount O
S., GOO was paid to Mrs. Hamilton
promptly.

Body.
Special 10 the Sentinel
PORTLAND, Ore, April 21.-Mrs.
George III. Williams, wife of ex-Attor-
ney-General Williams of the United
States, who died at her home here,
had tasted several months. About
four years ago Mrs. Williams profess
ed religious belief essentially origi-
nn aud she gained large following.
The meetings she held in her resi-
6ence were always well attended. One
of the cardinal doctrines of her faith
was that the publication of the body
from all physical and moral impurities
could be solely accomplished by fast
ing and prayer. In this peculiar doc
trine she became the high priesteSs.
Mrs. Williams had number of fol-
lowers who, for forty days or more,
tasted little else but bread and wine.
Mrs. Williams's second fast, which
ended fatally, was begun seventy days
ago. She was born in obepherdstOwn,
Va, in 1892
Mrs. Williams was neither faith
curist nor Christian scientist. Her
religion was OF her own invention and
| was wholly original The central
| idea was that the devil resides in the
body of every human being and has
| his seat in the VermifOrm appendix.

John has made many friends with

Those in search Of bargains should
