To Our Managers and Agents OF

To Our Managers and Agents OF
Texas:
Our August record 100000. We
think this is little extra, especially
when we learn that some of our most
prominent and popular companies
which have had only smooth sailing
fell 30 per cent short in August. G..
Eisenmeyer of Galveston made the
best write up as district manager.
John O'Neil of Port Lavaca merits
the praise for the best personal bus
mess. having written Sl30,000,which
entities him TO the premium for the
month. Gentlemen, one and all of
you. you certainly have my warmest
congratulations and the congratula-
tions-ef our officers for your courage
and most excellent work. Our enc
mites, through jealousy, fear and self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, have been busily
engaged in giving us all the dirt
possible. We viii have to allow
them to throw some mud. as this is
their only weapon. 1t is only neces-
sary for Us to use cold and official
facts, which is far better. They have
resorted to all kinds of unfair tactics
vet there efforts have been in VAN,
as If usual when such unfair means
is resorted to break down justice and
honesty. While our country is flood
en- with cheap-John literature (such
stuff as c. G. Hagers, Jr., and others
of his kind are peddIing among our
agents for livelihood) yet in all
this stuff you do not find one single
official document or one that they
are willing even for YOU to see.
am proud to note that our people
are becoming educated to the fact
that that company OF that agent who
will resort to this mode OF business
is either representing something that
will not sell on its merits or that
they are not doing an honest and a
legitimate business. The st. Louis
Post-Dispatch has been filed with
old line thunder for the past two
weeks or more, and to such an eX-
tent that the Hon. james Il. Waddill,
superintendent Insurance Depart
ment of Missouri. was induced to
send Aug. f Harvey. actuary of Mis-
souri, (and gentleman of high
standing in the insurance world to
New York to look into the affairs of
the company. After ten days inves-
tigation he sent Mr.. Waddill the fol-
lowing:

2ed Nano;eOn Died Ennn.

A French traveller who has been vis-
fling the island of st. Helena, declares
that the house in which Napoleon died
IS in a sad state of dilapidation and neg
lect. Not vestige of furniture remains
within its four walls, the only object
visible being a bust of Bonaparte in
che room in which he expired. If the
edifice is devoid of furniture, however,
there are at least ten times as many
chairs, wardrobes, washstands, etc, in
other parts of the world, supposed to
have been in it, as would ELL dozen
houses of like proportions. For in
stance, the bed on which Napoleon
died is to be found at the Invalides, at
Nine. Tussaud's and at the Grevie
museum. The very same bed is in the
possession of Marquis de Biron, and of
the family of Marshal Bertrand. Prince
Murat also has it. 1t is needless to
state that all these beds are the real
and only authentic ones on which the
great Co, sican breathed his last.

Costly Perfumes.

MignoEette, that at the moment is a
perfume greatly in favor for its deli
cate and ref eshing fragrance, is COM
pounded as we'll from some of this reg
ular stock in tie perfumer's laboratory,
and even violet extract is two-thirds CT
it due to the sN eetness of cassie, orris
and altar of almonds, though violet IS
the most popular perfume. The true
extract of the purple flower is made in
France, is costly ard only to be bought
at few places in New York. Its rare
sweetness is expressed from the vioiets
that grow at Cannes and Grasse, where
the mignonette attains what to Ameri-
can eyes is unbelievable perfection OF
size, color and odor, and where the
roses owe their sweetness chiefly to the
bees, who sprinkle into their hearts the
pollen from the blooming orange trees
