If You Will Lay Aside
Your Prejudice

AND COME to US With a desire to
learn why it is not to your interest to
carry high priced insurance, and how we
can furnish you just as safe insurance
for at least 40 per cent. year less than the
other costs, we are sure we can show you.
to your satisfaction that the MUTUAL
RESERVE FUND LIFE ASSOCIA-
TION of New York does business on
plan that is absolutely safe, and will pro-
tect your loved ones even better than !.
to you. Of course if you are too preju-
diced to investigate and imagine that the
high price you are now paying makes
your insurance better or safer, or better
than it would be at less cost, we can't do
for you but will be forced to
let you go on until time, the crucial
tester, convinces you, against your will,
that you have been deceived.

and looking into his pale face, she
thought he was going to faint, so she
got out her smelling-bottle with her
left hand, and, pulling the stopper out
with her teeth, she stuck it to his nose.
Bill was just taking in breath for a
mighty sigh, and the pungent odor
made him throw back his head 80 far
that he lost his balance, and went over
the low.backed buggy. The little
woman gave a little scream as his bare
feet flew past her head, and, covering
her face with her hands, gave way to
tears or smiles-it is hard to tell
which.
Bill was "right side up" in a mo-
ment, and was leaning over the back
of the seat, humbly apologizing and
explaining, when Ed Wilbur, with bis
wife and baby, drove up behind and
stopped. Poor Bill felt that he would
rather have been shot than have Ed
Wilbur catch him in such a scrape,
but there was no help for it now, so he
called Ed to him and whispered in his
ear.
Ed was like to burst with suppressed
laughter, but he beckoned to his wife
to draw up, and, after saying some
thing to her, he slipped the widow out
of Bills buggy and into his, and the
two women went on, leaving the two
men behind.
Bill lost no time in arranging his
toilet as we'll as he could, and then,
with great persuasion, Ed got him to
90 home with him, and hunting up
slippers and socks, and getting him
washed and combed, had him quite
presentable when the ladies arrived.
I need not tell how the story was all
wormed out of bashful Bill, and how
they all laughed as they sat around
the teatable that night, but will con-
clude by saying that they went to the
show together, and Bill has no fear OF
Gus Sackrider now.
This is the story about Bill and the
widow just as I had it from Ed Will
bur, and if there is anything unsatis-
factory about it, ask him.

IF you have taken out life insurance

you would at sometime in the future,
while you yet drew the breath Of life, re-

you will be disappointed. Your policy
will prove snare and delusion. It is
all right for protection for your wife and
children, as they will receive the face of
the policy in case of your death, as they
would also in a company that charges
you half as much. A life insurance poll
cy is fraud as an investment for living
man, and is the greatest blessing of which
we or anybody else has any knowledge
as a means of protecting the widow and
orphans, after the breadwinner has been
removed nv death

the largest and strongest natural premi-

largest of ANY KIND. 1t has paid
about $3.50, 900 to the widows and orphans

is q dishonest man?"
"Oh, no, sir; not by any means, "
he answered, very promptly.
"Well, do you think he is mean
man?"
"Well, with regard to that" said
the deacon, little more deliberately,
~ may say that I don't really think
he's a mean man; I've sometimes
thought he was what you might call a
keerful mana prudent man, so to
to speak,"
"What do you mean by prudent
man,"
"Well, I mean this: That at one
time he had an execution for four dol
lars agin the old Widder Witter back
here, and he went up to her house
and levied onto flock of ducks; and
he chased them ducks one at time

A QUESTION OF HIGHEST PRIvI'
LEGE.-Congressman Mckenzie, OF
Kentucky, a few sessions ago, intro
duced a bill for a public building at
Owensboro, the principal town in bis
district, but made very little progress,
One day, in dire extremity, Mr.. Nc
Kenzie arose addressed the chair.
"For what purpose does the gentle
man rise ?" inquired the cautious
speaker.
"On a matter of the highest privi'
lege," was the reply. -,
"The gentlemen will state it," said
the speaker"
"Is not the right of member to bis
seat a question of highest privilege p
persisted Mr.. Mckenzie.
"Most assuredly," was the response.
"Well," said the Kentucky congress
man, II introduced some time ago a
bill to erect Federal courthouse and
post. Office at Owensboro, in my dis
trict. That bill was considered in the
committee and has been reported back
to the house, and is now on the calen-
dar. Mr.. Speaker" exclaimed the
distressed member with great earnest
ness, ~ ask that the bill be now taken
from the calendar and passed, for if it
is not, I am sure that the member from
the Second district of Kentucky will
lose his seat"
The house roared with laughter,
but the speaker observed that the
privilege was not one of that peculiar
character which demanded recognition.
Mr.. Mckenzie lost his seat.

AS 1T LOOKED TO HIM.-People who
have seen cottonwood lumber warp
when it came from the saw, can appre.
ciate story Gene Ware tells about
the first sawmill erected at Fort Scott.
After the first days saving the owner
of the mill came down from town,
where he had been celebrating the
"opening" with the boys. He looked
over the crooked boards scattered
about the yard for a moment, and in
quired, with drunken gravity, "Boysh
(hic), has that lumber been measured
yet?" ut has not" replied the fore
man of the mill. "Well, when it gets
still, take (hic) corkscrew and meas
ure it."

HIS REPoRT.-A railroad man tells
the following incident, which he swears
by the air brake is true:
Branagin, the conductor of freight
train, was very careful to telegraph
the superintendent about any accidents
or delays that overlook him when ou,
on the road. The superintendent got
tired of these kind of long continued
stories of misfortune, which were
wearing out the telegraph wires, and
he called Branagin up on the carpet
and told him to let up; no more four,
page messages every time he pulled
out draft iron, or stopped to pack a
hot box. He was notified to make
things short.
The next trip out Branagin got two
box cars off the track. After he got
them back on and the train was cou-
pied to go, he went into the telegraph
Office to send his report. Just as be
was about to start out on an elongated
account of the accident, the superin-
tendent's orders flashed across his
mind, and, grabbing up the pen he
wrote:
"Two cars off and on agin; gone
agin. Branagin."

of South America in company with

two of his fellow-travelers:
"Where is Bostron ?" asked one.
"Bostron is in France, to he sure y

Yesterdays Market Assumed a Reassuring
New York, March 5,-The course of
the stock market in the early trading
to-day occasioned no little surprise to
the general run of traders. The fur
Their decline in consols and the fact
that American securities were 1s to q
per cent. below the parity of our clos
ing yesterday naturally led to the be-
lief that considerable depression would
characterize dealings in the market for
securities here.
The bears endeavored to use the for
eign news to their advantage and they
promptly attacked the list at the open
ing. but they met with very poor sue
cess, and after merely fractional con-
cessions the market started up in live
ly fashion.
1t was evident that the powers be-
hind the market were above the aver
age in influence. The strength of the
Vanderbilt group also had a reassur-
ing effect and especially as a sharp rise
in New York Central was accompanied
by reports that plans are on foot to re-
fund the high interest-bearing bonds of
the company on lower basis. as has
just been done in the case of the Lake
Shore
The advance in prices was equal to
1502 per cent, and this, too, despite the
fact that foreign sales of stocks in this
market were estimated at from $1,000
to 20. 900 shares. The Vanderbflts, Man

trials were the leaders in the upward
movement There was considerable
covering of short contracts and some
buying for the long account. but the
