Dear Sir: Replying to ,onr favor of re
cert date. asking my estiln alta of the value
Of a policy contract in the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Co, of Newerk, N. j., /
would say that my attention was called to
the advantages of owning q policy in this
Company about seven years ago by 8
friend of mine who was receiving. % per
cent dividend annually on q new policy,
when I Was only getting about 10 per cent
on my policy Of $4,000 in the Equitable
Life and about II per cent 0n my $1,000
policy in the New York Life His 0
trIlct and miEe in these Companies being
about the same age. [ gave up these poll
clos in the Equitable and New York Life
and took out Two policies OF 5000 each In
tho Mutual Benefit Life and the smallest
dividend they have paid me was 20 per
cent I carry $4,000 besides this in other
Companies, but I regard the advantages
offered by the Mutual B7neft superior to
any contract I have ever examined, espe
cislly the guaranteed face value, the 80
per cent loan plan. the reputation for
economical management. the liberal OK
tension features aud the large dividends
they have credited me with for the past
si7. years I would not hesitate to recom
mend it to any one desiring reliable life
iuuurance for the smallest cash outlay.
Sincerely yours,

A Beautiful Thought.


A Little girl once saidto her father:
"Papa. I want you to say something
to God for me. Something | want to
tell him very much. I have such q
little voice that I don think he could
hear it away up in heaven but you
have a great big mans voice, and he
will be sure to hear you
The father took his little girl in his
arms, and told her that, even though
God were at that moment surrounded
by all his holy angels, sounding on
their golden harps, and singing to him
one of the grandest and sweetest songs
of praise that ever was heard in heav'
en-, he was sure that He would say tc
them: "Hush stop the singing fol
a little while. There's a little girl,
away down on the earth, who wants te
whisper something in my ear

A Blunt Man.

An intensely reserved man, Ibsen
is not at all fond of talking Of him
self or Of his works. At a dinner
some time ago the wife Of a well
known artist, being seated beside
him, insisted on conducting the CON-
versation to that end and finally
maintained at length that his"Hed-
da Gabler'' was an impossible wom-
all. "But, madam" he answered,
st drew her from the life" Eyes,
Herr Doktor, but am a woman. I
should know. I say again that it is
impossible that such a woman should
exist" This was too much for Herr
Doktor. Like a flash he turned on
her. "Idiot!" he calculated, which
was naturally the end of that con-
yersatiOn,

Wonderful Crater Lake,

After emerging from the forest we
found ourselves suddenly on the
margin of the lake, and Of this all
description must fail utterly. The
object itself must be seen to be en-
ioyed. Words cannot convey the
wonderful and sublime scenery OF
the place and its surroundings.
The altitude of the lake above the
level of the sea is 5000 feet. The
crater is about seven miles long by
FIVE wide. The waters of the lake
are below the rim 2, 900 feet, with
q sheer pitch of the banks down to
it, making the water of the lake
about 6, 900 feet above sea level. a
little to the left and rising to a
height of ], 1000 feet is an island GOV.
cred with timber. 1t is supposed to
be the cone of the crater. The island
is about three miles from tie near
shore. There are some rocks jutting
out from the rim, which form q
ledge or shelf for a short distance,
which makes a very good point Of
observation. There is a solitary trail
zigzagging down the side of the era
ter; but, although two of our party
undertook the descent, it is q very
dangerous trip from the risk Of the
numerous powders, being loosened
from time to time and weighing
tons, falling upon the person of the
explorer and which would crush him
into a sbapeless mass. Those who
were foolhardy enough to make the
descent on returning said they would
hardly attempt it a second time.
The water of the lake is the bluest
Of blue, but without a living thing
in it. AS far as we could learn, 1t
has no outlet or inlet, and the rise
and fall of the water from the melt
ing of the snow and evaporation is
about five or six inohes.--Portland
Oregonian.

JOHN GARY EVANS,

-"J. r. Monroe, of Abbeville," says
the Savannah Neps, "has closed q trade
with capitalists from Chicago for ten
thousand acres oflaud, on which q colony
of six to eight hundred families will be
located. The ~colonists are tor the most
part German-Americans, and will make
most excellent citizens, who will develop
and improve the land to its utmost pro.
ducing capacity. The colony does not
propose to build q town. but Will ontne
itself strictly to agricultural pursuits.
The location OF the land sold Is six miles

imaginative Animals.

The other week ! spoke of the
power Of imagination. A friend tells
me that dogs are as much under its
influence as men, and he has in con-
sequence discovered o method by
which a tender hearted man can
bring up his pup in the way it
should go without unnecessary SUI
fering to either party. My friends
method is to keep in his yard a big
butter tub and a thick stick. When
his dog has misbehaved, he chains
it up close to the tub, gives it q
couple Of outs with the stick,
scolds it energetically and then sets
to work to larrup the barrel. With
every blow that falls upon the tub
the dog bowls and struggles. By
the time my friend has worn him.
self out upon the barrel the dog has
received all the moral good that
could have been afforded him by a
laundering good whipping and is re-
pentant and conscience stricken for
the next three day.. In fact, the
imaginative animal fanoies that ne
really has had a beating and is as
sorry for himself as if he had been
half killed.
My friends motto is, "Spare the
tub and spoil the dog" Being akind
man, he hated the severity that is
necessary TO the training of animals,
and his discovery has removed a
great burden from his mind. He
can punish his dog and Immediately
after sit down and enjoy his dinner
Ia thing that in the old days could
not be thought of. He tells me that
he has never found the plan to mis-.
carry, and he has tried it on dozens
Of dogs.-Jerome z. Jerome.

down into the parlor in advance Of
hor husband for the usual Little chat
with a couple wLo had called ION
important business" as they had
expressed it.
The good woman found the couple
sitting side by side on a sofa in
bridal array. The bridegroom, who
was evidently several years younger
than the bride, seemed a little fus-
trated, but the bride was perfectly
calm. After q few oommonplaces
the minister's wife said:
"You realize of course that mar
rage is a very solemn thing. It is
not to be entered into lightly. It is,
CIR ought tu be, for life"
"Yes, that's what I used to tell
Jim" said the bride.
"Jim?"
ooh, he was my first husband"
Indeed! Then of course you
know what the duties and response
bilities of married life are. They
are many and serious. Both hus-
band and wife must learn to bear
and forbear."
"Yes, that's exactly what I used
to say to Bill"
"To Bill?"
"Yes. He was my second hus-
band"
ooh, you must realize deeply the
solemnity of marriage because of
these experiences.
""Yes. I used to say to Jake that
marriage was no laughin matter.
Jake was my third husband"
Indeed? My words must seem
useless to you after

say SO! But Willie an me are startin

Populist said yesterday that 1t seemed to
him that Mr.. Todd was right in Offering
to vote, and that his vote should have
been accepted. AS the Populists will
have no ticket of their own this year 1t
seemed to him only fair play to allow
them to individually take part in the
primary meetings of the party to which
they belonged before they went into the
Populist movement.
As long as we must under the oircum-
stances,'' he said "ohoose between the
ca ndidates of the old parties, and must
help elect them, it seems to me that
we should be accorded the right
to vote in the primary meet
ings. Otherwise while we have the right
to vote left, whe have no voice in select
ing the ticket we ar to vote.
He did not think that MI. Todd die
anything more than was proper undel
the circumstances and thought he shoule
have been allowed to vote without protest

And Says the Fight Cannot AXE Place in

City of Mexico, Febui airy president
Di yesterday said: Although there is
70 law on the federal statute book ex-
pressly forbidding prize fighting, lit Is
repugnant to Mexican public sentiment,
aud the government will notS allow a
pugilistic combat On Mexican soil.
'.Even were public sentiment not op-
p7sed to prize fighting, the government
would consider it friendly act to forbid
it On the frontier of a country which is a
ftiend, and which has by the express act
of it's national legislature forbidden such
contest in all it's territories.
