layed.

The early morning freight train
which passes through here over
the L. & N. railroad was wrecked
Tuesday morning. near Yarnallton

who had no tongue, and yet spoke with

It cannot be denied that the prime mo
tive of the man who insurcs his life either
for n large or small amount is the laud
able wish to place the women and children
depending on his eXertions beyond imme-
date want in case of his taking off. There
are of course exceptions to this rule where
policies are held for purely business rea-
sons. but it i safe to say that more than
10 per cent. of the life insurance held in
America is for the sole benefit of women
One might therefore be pardoned for
surprising that rs the gentler sex is such
an important factor in the insurance bust
ness, the companies, always anxious for
new policies where men are concerned
would at least look with a kindly eye OH
an application from ii woman Such. how.
ever, is not the case. and ungallant as it
may be to say so, truth compels the ad
mission that q mean suspicion enters the
mind of man the moment a woman asks
for policy, which only long years OF sub
seQuent life will suffice to remove
The unpopuarity of women us insurance
risks is so we'll defined that some com
panies will not accept them at all and
others will only take them at higher rates
than are demanded on the lives of men.
Certain companies consider them equally
eligible with men and accept them at the
same rates, but such is not the practice. -
