A Great Company.

A Great company.
Mr.. John G. Swearingen, whose re-
cent tragic death has been related in
these columns, was member Of the
knights of Honor. From that source
his widow and orphan children re-
celve $4,000. Mr.. Swearingel also car
ried policy on his life in the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company for
$4,000. From State manager Il. B.
Evans we learn the following: Mr..
Swearingen's policy was issued four
years ago, but defaulted on the last
premium, having made only three an
nual payments. However" says Mr.
Evans, "under the liberal features of
the company which l have the honor
to represent in this State, Mr.. Swear
ingen's heirs will receive the full face
value of policy-$2,5OO." We desire to
impress upon the minds of the people
the Importance of taking out insu-
rance in this grand old company. The
Union Mutual is no stlckler in search
of stechnicalities Its mission is to
deal squarely with its policy holders,
and the fact tnat it does not take ad-
vantage of every technicality to avoid
the payment of It's obligations should
commend it to persons seeking liber-
al and just insurance and safe in
vestment.-MOnitor.
Our townsman, Mr.. d. r. DurisOe, is
Local Agent for the "Union Mutual;' >

fair and reliable old time company

THE RETURN.

had been rocked and jolted, ant
chilled 10y the morning breeze for al
hour, when l swung around the curve
at the top of the Lewiston Hill where
the sunlight spread over the valley
like the warmth of Il kindly welcome
and the waters glistened like the glow
of silver: where the pretty little city
was half hidden i'm the leatl.ss trees
and in the distance the houses looked
small like the homes ofelves, the lawns
were green, like fairy bowers and the
rocky beach was like a playground fol
the strange little people. The rivers
reached out with giant arms to claim
the lovely landscape-the city, the
valley, the rising hill, the plain with
Its turrOw marks, its lanes and ITS
fields, and the rugged mountain, white
with winter snow beyond--reached out
and held them all.
We rocked and rolled aud traced the
road that wound like IA serpent's trail
down the mountain side. Every arc,
every curve and every tangent re-
vealed changing scene. The sluggish
Snake, though its furnished flood ran
slowly around the curves to roll up
hurrying waves, past the encrOaching
rocks at the narrows and then went
slowly again and softly past the city to
let the fairy people sleep; went on past
the city, on to a grave III the ocean as
the ebbing life of Christian goes on to
peace.
The Clearwater came from the noun
tains, from the SHOW banks and the
ice packs. The silver food was bright
and new and it raved as it raced with
the force of the glacier and the ava
lanche yet untamed; it sang mad
dirges and danced to the tunes as If
there were no peace in the world; as II
life were all strife and all war. This
flood, as it came from the noun
tain had no peace or no play till it
came to the sun lighted valley. The
IdTIllS SuN luc lclUS anu Vic oiClidIucs
the gardens, the lawns and the homes
like love to the care.burdened soul
made tranquil the turbulent stream.
The rage of the avalance left it, and
the glare of the ice.fiow was softened
like the hardened frost of darkness is
ut daylight to dew. Calm
like the peace of a lover, the Clear
water flowed past the playground to
Join the still calmer Snake in the eb-
bing life on the way to the grave.
The last whirl, the last pitch and I
was down in the valley. The noun
tain with its scars and dark seams,
like the wrinkles of age; with its RIM
rock of pillard basaIt like a fence that
marks the limit of world was back
and above A city full of life, happi-
ness and humanity was before me; but
still it was like something unreal. 1t
was more than the contrast of biting
cold and soothing sunshine, it was like
the warmth of love when the wander
Ing waf is restored to its mothers
bosom.
