Edgar w. Nye,
ENAMILIARLY known as "Bill Ny

known as "Bill Nye,"
II was perhaps, the most popular hu-
morist Of the Nineteenth century, and mill
lions of people read his productions each
week, and were panied to hear Of his
death short time ago. Mr.. Nye's home
was Buck Shoals, near Arden, Bun
combe county, N. c. He had very in
teresting family and was devoted to 1t and
it to him. He realized large income
from the products of his pen and accumu-
lated q considerable fortune. He was
business man and realized the value Of
life insurance as means Of protecting the
widows and orphans; and carried large
sum on his life, $1,000 Of which was in the
Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association.
His policy was No. $3.50. We delivered
No. 303,674 on last Thursday to gentle
man in Chester. We only make this
statement to show the reader how rapidly
the Association has grown since Mr.. Nye's
policy was written IA years ago, (the COM
pany is little more than Is years old and
that he was shrewd enough TO- 4s6zeett
was safe and sound even in III fnfancYS
During the IA years that the policy was;
carried $S3l.s9 was paid in premiT MS, on
an average cost of $50. AZ yeaI<or, $ll.SS
per 81, 900 each year. If Mr.. Nye had had
an ordinary life policy in an old line COM
pany and paid it the same amount In pre-
miGms that he paid the Mutlal Reserve
his wife, who was the beneficiary, would
have received $2.526 instead Of 5000.

my question, which was brought out
by his observing that he had lost 9
son the year before. "What allied
Sam was sotness."
"You mean he was obstinate?

in too much. Bimeby he made ready
to start fur home on his mewl. The
men at the Co'ners knowed he'd meet
the cirkis and tried to hold him back
but the mo- they talked the softer he
got. 1t had got around that thar was
an elephant and Sam said he'd drive
the critter outer the road or bust his

"And he met the circus on the road p
"He did, sab. That elephant was
marchin' in front and from all accounts
he wasn't feelin' very pert that day,
When them cirkis fellers saw Sam
they hollered for him to 60 back but
Sam throwed off his hat and yelled
back to IN to stand near and see fair

that he'd be licked. He hollered and
cavorted till he got that elephant
downright mad and then he put spurs
to his mewl and charged him. He
meant to sweep that elephant right
off the airth, but suthin' happened to
astonish him."
"What happened ?"
"Wall, as nigh as could ever make

Not BoTHERING HIM.-The young
man had his best girl with him and
he wanted to tell her about it. Be.
sides he was not interested in the sub.
ject which the lecturer was discussing
1.-THE American Indians Use ot
Gourds." The girl was pretty and tc
whisper into her little, pink ear was q
pleasure that few young men would
have resisted.
The lecturer was annoyed. 1t did
not please him that any one should
not listen attentively to his words
Not soul in the house was making q
noise except the young man, and as
he had his mouth close to the girls
cheek--very close indeed-he was
not particularly disorderly. But the
lecturer was annoyed. Finally he
said, impressively: 81 will pause un'
til the young man in the back part o.
the house stops talking" Then he
stopped.
For perhaps thirty seconds, though
it seemed two minutes, the lecturer
said not a word and the young mar
continued to tell the girl all about the
subject on which he had started
Auditors turned round and stared at
him and he was the centre of interest
For time he was oblivious of the at
tention he was attracting and then hi
noticed that the lecturer was silen
and that all eyes were directed on him
Then he realized what the lecturer
had said about pausing until "tht
young man at the back part of the
house stops talking" He appeared
to think that he should say something
and he addressed the lecturer, saying
with great cordiality, "Go right ahead
you are not bothering me.".
Then he finished the remarks which
he had been addressing to the pretties
ear in the town.-New York World.

TT SEEMS QUEER

to "a man up tree'' that sensible men,
who are accustomed to apply business
principles to all their other affairs, will
continue to 60 without insurance, or that
some of those who do buy It will volun-
tarily pay the old line rates when they
can secure just as good protection for less
money. Don't it look that way to you
since the matter has been called to your
attention? You need insurance. We sell
the best offered in the world today. Nor
al See US without delay. Tomorrow may
be everlastingly too late.

Years ago there were still poisoned
arrows used occasionally, weapons
deadlier than the more popular rifle or
carbine, for their scratch was fatal.
The head was dipped in poison curl
ously made. A bit of liver, quite
pntrid, was held before rattlesnake
until he had injected his venom into it
time and time again. After few
more days this virulent substance was
put upon the points of the arrow, to
carry agony and dissolution to whatso-
ever they touched.
1t was one of these arrows that How
land jerked from his arm, a few mo-
ments later, as be went into the hut
where his two soldiers were waiting.
He held it in front of the candle and
examined it intently while the blood
