thinking. business man. The policy con-
tains in black and white the amount Of
cash. as well as paid up surrender value
available any year after the first.
The paid-up values are binding on the
company, without action on the part OF
the insured and the cash value can be
claimed any year after the first.
This is in accordance with the laws Of
Massachusetts.
Unlike other policies, the Massachu-
sets MutuaPs policy contains no time
limit within which to apply for the equity
desired, falling which the policy holder
is compelled to accept some condition
more favorable to the company; these
time limits are often overlooked or neg
lected No unnecessary restrictions are
contained in the contract, and the paid
up policies Of the Massachusetts, Mutual
participate in dividends during their ex-
istence and constantly increase in cash
value. Paid up policies in most compa-
MES are non-participating.
Dividends in life insurance depend on
the mortality experience Of the company
nevertheless the dividends Of the Massa-
ehusetts Mutual have been regular and
steady; unlike some other companies,
whose dividends are up one year and down
the next. These dividends have been paid
each year, to the satisfaction of many
OF our best business men, for many years
past.
The Massachusetts Mutual is the only
company doing business in this city offer
ing all the above features combined. We
invite comparison with the contracts of
other companies. With policy in the

After RepIevined Goods.
Some of the trials of a constable are
amusing at least to an outsider, but the
constables do not always think so.
A party of three went out in the SUI
burbs the other day to get some furni-
ture on which the installments had not
been paid promptly. The woman had the
reputation of a Tartar" and so three
constables went together to keep up each
others courage. Arriving at the house,
they rang the bell and were admitted in
to a dark hall with a narrow, steep star
case. Peering up this they saw the dim
outlines of a woman at the top. as il
waiting for them. The constables DEEM
ed discretion the better part of valor and
waited TO see what would be the next
move.
Come up, II you want those old things, -
exclaimed the woman, quietly, as the an
xious justce-servers thought, so up they
started. AS they got halfway up, the
woman stepped TO one side and stopped
down. The next moment the constables
were swept down the stairs under a cata-
ract dirty wash-water that had been
emptied down on them. They went out
the door, and back 10 the office with "a
