The widow of the late Leland Stanford

largest policy ever taken by one company.
1t is expected of course that the conpany
will reinsure the risk. Mrs Stanford is
seventy two years Of age, but the risl, is
not so great as appears at first glance TO
the uninitiatod. According To the life cs-
Inmates Mrs stanfords expectancy" is

but for five years the company, counting
interest will have it's million dollars i'm
hand which IL agrees to pay If she dies
within ten years and will easily achieve
the two millions which IL promises to pay
In event Of death after ten years. In
other words, the company has fine
chance TO make "A big profit and reinsur.

But I've got "A middlin' tight grip, sir,

No four-year-old in the country
Could beat him for pretty and strong.
Peart ana clipper and sassy,
Always ready 60 swear and fight
And ia larnt him 10 chaw terbacker
Jest to keep his milk teeth white.

As passed by Taggert's store

And left tho team at the door.
They scared nj something and started.

And hell-to'split over the prairie
Went team. Little Breeches and all.
Hell'to-split over the prairio
was almost froze with skeer;
But we rousted up some torches
And saTched for em far and near.
AT last We struck hosses and wagon,
Showed under a soft white mound.
Upsot, dead beat, but of little Gabe
No hide nor hair was found.

BY this time the torches was played out,
And me and Isrul Parr

We found Mt last, and a little shed
Where they shut up the lambs nj night
We looked In and seen them huddled thar,
So VAIN and sleepy and white;
And thar sot Little Breeches and chirpei,
As peart as ever you see.

There Is great force in the sugees-
tion that ordinarily q city election

whether a particular election il going
