ARE YOU
A THINKING
MAN I?

OR do you let somebody else do your
" studying. If. you are thinker We
want you to consider few points which
we will submit. Here they are: Can
you afford to 60 on from day to day,
week to week and year to year without
throwing around your wife, children or
those dependent upon you, that iron clad
protection which is absolutely guaran-
iced to them by policy in first-class
that you cannot ignore life insurance, are
you using the same business sense that
characterizes your daily business transac-
tions if you place your insurance with
company that charges you twice as much
for your protection as it is worth, or as
another company equally as reliable will
furnish it for? The MUTUAL RESERVE
FUND LIFE ASSOCIATION, of New York,
has been in business about Is years and
during that time has paid more than
500, 100000 to the beneficiaries of de-
ceased policy holders. 1t has in force
today as much insurance as the THREE
STONGEST old line companies had when
they had reached the same age, and some
thing like S5O,0OO,0O to spare.
It has more assets, as compared
to liabilities than any company in
the world.
1t has paid every honest death claim
that has been presented, in full, and has
never taken advantage Of technicality,
as other companies often do. Now for
practical illustration: Say you are 43
years of age: 4 $1,000 life policy (pay as
long as you livel in the - Insurance
Company, of New York, will cost you
slsO.5O annually or $3.50 in twenty years,
if you live that long, in cold cash, not
counting interest. The same size policy
in the MUTUAL RESERVE, will cost
you SS6lO annually, or Sl,722 in twenty
years. We will be pleased to explain our
system to you and also to convince you
that any derogatory statement made by
any agent of any old line company doing
business in this section about the Mutual
Reserve, is absolutely false and is inspired
by his desire to sell you something you
will never derive any benefit from. 1t
will certainly do you no harm to learn all
you can about our company and its plan
before placing your insurance.

SEVERE PENANCE.-A waiter in 6
hotel was recently asked by gentle
man staying in the house whether he
would like to earn $40. The waiter
was only too willing, and was accord
ingly invited to enter the bedroom o.
the gentleman. There he was given Il
new whip, and was requested to ad
minister a severe thrashing to the visl
tor.
The waiter demonstrated but the
gentleman soon silenced his scruples
by handing him $40, and by mutely
presenting his bare back for the blows
having stripped down to the waist
The waiter thrashed away until his
arms gave out, and then the willing
victim expressed his warm thanks.
"This is the anniversary of the
death of my little son." said the gen.
tleman, as he painfully put on his
shirt over his lacerated shoulders. 81
gave him an inhuman thrashing foI
some minor fault, and the poor child
died of the shock. That was six
years ago. Each year as the day oI
my great sorrow comes around, l EN-.

appeasing the pangs of my memory.

SIX SyICIDEs.-The Bible gives ar
account Of six suicides:

for 20 years without spot on his ju
dicial proceedings, fell in bad society
was captured by his enemies and tt
free himself from disgrace and the
cruel sport of his enemies, killed him
self by his own strength. Judges
XIV, 9-19.
2. Saul, king of Israel, lost the bat
tie of Gilboa, afterward threw himsel
on the point of his sword and ended
his life. l Sam. XXI.
3. Saul's armor bearer suicided a!
did his master, with no name record
ed in the Bible.
1. Ahithophel, the most astute poll
tician of the age in which he lived
He joined with Absolom in the con
spiracy against David. His counsel
against David being defeated, and
seeing his own destruction, hanged
himself. II Sam. xvii, %.
5. Zimri murdered Elah, king O.
Israel, and usurped the, throne, de-
stroyed the house of Baasha, reignec
seven days and went into the palace
of the kings house, and burnt il
with himself in it, to prevent hi'

GRANDPARENTS.

There is nobody like comparative
ly young and lively grandsire or grand
mother to fill in the family chinks
Grandfather roasts bones and com.
pounds savory, hot messes, we'll pep
pered for the hens, and keeps them
laying all winter when the neighbors
are stirring a spoonful of snow in
to cake. in place of eggs. He keeps
the wood-box we'll filled with the
incest kindlings and the driest of wood
and never forgets to wind the clock
He oils the creaking door hinges and
rusty locks, replaces the tack that has
worked out of the carpet, and solder;
the pinhole that has impudently ap,
peared in the new tin pail. He pares
apples and brings the rind off in one
unbroken red curl, for the little ones to
fling over their shoulders, to form queer
misshapen capital letters nobody can
coax corn to pop into such white flakes
as grandpa, and nobody else can SC
mend toys, direct the boys about train
ing the "yearlings" or tunneling
through the deep snow drift at the foot
of the hill. If a cow in the neighhor-
hood is sick or a sheep refuses to own
her lamb, grandfather is sent for, and
sure remedy. He has forgotten more
he knows than all the neighborhood
knows today, and yet remembers more
than all they ever knew.
And what is there that grandmother
cannot do? She is always in order
to see company and never at loss
for something to say. She is ready to
take the baby when nobody else can
give him attention; she binds up
bruised fingers with soft rags and
wounded hearts with tender words,
kisses and stray peppermint from the
depths of her pocket or mysterious
little box which she takes down from a
high shelf in some cupboard. She
keeps the thin places in the stockings
and mittens darned before them become
real holes, and her advice, counsel
and soothing words prevent many holes
in the peace of the family and neigh
borhood. She has great stores Of sup
plies for everybody far and near. She
never forgets where her sage and sum-
mer savory and catnip are, and her
hoarhound candy and thoroughwort
syrup are so delicious that every cough
ing child for miles about considers
himself in luck when he gets a chance
to take them.
Grandmother has weathered the
storm-tossed sea of retribution and
gotten into the peaceful harbor of for
giveness. Childhood is infinitely more
tender in her sight than it is to the
father or mother, and what are delib-
crate wanderings out of the way in
their eyes are but involuntary slips OF
the untried feet to her. Grandmother
knows that the hasty word or the un-
relenting penalty Of today may gnaw
forever at the heart of the speaker
and infiictor. All, how much grand
mother knows!
There is never a snowstorm but
that grandfather or grandmother re-
members q worse one away back in the
fabulous times of 80, 40 or 60 years ago.
No late springs or early autumn frosts
surprise them, for they know by long
experience that the promises of seed
time and harvest are sure.-Lewiston

A WIFE's RETORT.-Old Joe was a
quiet old man, but somewhat too fond
of the bottle. When in his cups his
ideas tended toward theological mat
tiers, which he always avoided in his
sober moments.
1t was Saturday afternoon, and his
good wife wanted some wood for the
oven, as she had bread to bake.
"Joe, l do wish you would 60 and
split some wood. Here it is nearly 2
o'clock, and the fire is"'t made"
Joe went out to exc ,Ite his commits
sion, and fearing his physical condi-
ton was weak, marched TO the neigh
boring tavern to fortify himself there
in. He returned home utterly oblivi-
Gus to all things save his pet theories.
Seating himself on the chair, he said
81 say (hic) Jane, do you think (hic)
the Lord (hic) means to burn us all up
in fire ?"
His venerable spouse, being exceed
ingly irate, did not answer. Again he
repeated the question. Still an omi,
nous silence.
"Wife, do you think the Lord in,
tends to burn us up in fire ev'las,
ting?"
NO. said the now thoroughly
aroused housewife; "no, you fool, not
if he waits for you to split the wood .

AN AUTOCRAT CLUBMAN.

A noticeable feature of the Angloma-
MIA which prevails in some parts OF
Chicago is the employment Of cockney
attendants by some of the clubs.
They manage to surround the admis-
sion of. an unintroduced stranger to
the club precincts with an amount OF
ceremony that would suffice for the YES
tibule of the Grand Llama. A gentle
man from Boston called to see friend,
who is a member of one of the swell
establishments.
"Is Mr.. F. in ?" he asked of the
brass-buttoned flunky who sat in an
elaborately upholstered armchair near
the door.
"Hi cawn't say, sir"
"Can't you find out?"
"Hi was not 'ired to make inquiries
hove the Sort"
"Can I go up stairs and find out for
myself?"
"NIy horders is, see that no strang-
ers goes hup stairs"
"Has the club any superintendent" ?"
"Hit as, but 'e S hout."
"Well, what does stranger do who
wants to see a member ?"
"'E waits until member of the
'ouse committee comes, or e calls
agin."
"Perhaps you'd condescend to take
my card and give it to Mr.. F. when
you see him ?'
"Hit's not my place. Him not con-
descending to nothink."
Whereby the exasperated caller
made his final appeal.
"Can l sit down on the curbstone
outside and rest myself?"
"You can hask the porter. 'E's a
good 'arted chap, and perhaps there'll
be no hobjection. ."-Chicago Tribune.

SOUND MONEY CRUSADE.

the high water mark of the silver

most significant thing to emphasize this
fact Is the aastion of the Popuaist state

Gen. James r. Weaver and his follow ATS

constructive elements.
THE one cheering thing OF the whole
