A TOUGH PIECE OF HUMANITY.
The Animated Old Snag Against Which
an Insurance Company Ran.

The Animated Old Snag Against Which
an Insurance Company Ran.
This is the way man named Gaines
of 81. Peter, Mimi, got the better Of
an insurance company: Many years ago
Mr.. Gaines insured his life for SO, 500.
After many years of payment of 800 a
year premium, at the age of 20 years he
asked the officers Of the company how
much they would pay him to cancel his
policy. They offered him So, 900. He re-
fused to take it, but made them this
proposition, eff you will give me SAG
year until death, which is SIS week,
will cancel the policy"
Agreed, said the company, which
thought it had a cinch in it's favor, as
he would not live many years.
Since that time Mr.. Gaines has lived
IS years, and the company has paid him
his yearly stipulation of $416, which up
to this time has amounted to 81, 488.
The saving of the 800 premium in the is
years and the interest make it the snug
sum of over $1S, 900 that the old man
gained by his bargain. Mr.. Gaines is
we'll preserved at SO and bids fair to re-
ceive many more payments at the hands
of the company, which struck a tough
piece of human timber upon which to
base its calculations. Chicago Tribune.

Two of the former were disappointed
with the result. But of course all

The wife of a gentleman who has
been conducting an auction store at
Lake Crystal recited an amusing Incl

stock of goods he had 100 ladies' bus

pose of. His wife devised brilliant
plan, and the next evening the gentle
man was smilingly selling the bustles
for dog muzzles at 40 cents apiece He
disposed Of the entire lot and tele-
graphed for 200 more The second lot
won't faster than the first, and every dog

muzzle, the penalty for nonbustled dogs
being death. st. Peter (Minn. Jour
