WHAT does IT MEAN ?
The Meaning of Insurance is to In
demnify for Something That is Lost.
Are You Sure Your Company
Can Do This?

Is Ii not as essential tc know
that the company promising this
indemnity is as sound and solvent
as a person signing a note or
other obligation?
A fire not only destroys your
property, but at the same time
throws you out Of your home or
your business.
We never have lost a company by
failure, In a business of twenty
years experience. Never had a
company make an assessment.
Yet in past twenty years more
than half the companies allowed
to transact business in Maine
have failed or gone out of bust
ness. Companies are dropping
out nearly every month.
Is 1t not for your interest,
financially, to get the best, when
their rates are no higher than
the poorest?
Kindly ponder these inquiries,
and say If they are not good bust
ness sense. Then secure a policy

THE ORPHANS HOME
Bachelors and Married People Min
as Children Should at Once Re-
sp0nd.

1t is to be hoped that no one will re-
fuse his or her mite when approached
by the ladies who are managing the
scheme to make Christmas at the
Orphans Home truly day that it
was intended to be.
The managers in the past have done
much, in fact they are now doing a
great deal, but whenever, as in the
present case, persons entirely outside
of the association conceive the idea
that it would be good thing to
brighten UP the lives of the waits,
then should they receive the hearty
support of the people of this city. 1t
costs but a few cents to make glad
the heart of a child, and there are 10
waits in the home who will not know
even the pleasures of the humblest
home on the great day Of all days.
1t was at first decided to ask con-
tributionS only from men and women
who are childless, but the writer
would suggest that there are many
well-known people, and people in
moderate circumstances whose children
will have a merry time at home, on
Christmas day, and isn't it just posi-
BILE that these children will enjoy their
holiday very much more, if they know
that Papa" and Mamma" had con-
tributed a few cents towards brighten
ing the lives of the children who know
not the tenderness of motherly af-
lection or the strength of fathers
love? Think the matter over, and then
act! DIR. FELL.
