He received reply stating that they
had looked,np tts policy and that the last
five years premiums would have TO be
paid To them so rs 10 give the policy its
full paidup value by their paying the
same To the company. After this the
policy would bs negotiable and they
would give him $1,000 for it. This salts
ted Nichols and be thought he saw his
$500 coming.
1t did not occur to him that he could
pay the $500 TO the company and make
his policy rs good as gold, so that he
could readily get his morey for il at any
first.class house In this city. 1t did not
occur to him that the simple wey TO per-
form the proposed transaction would be
for Ham iiton to take $500 out of,tbe 5000
they proposed to pay him aud pay the
premiums. giving the balance $500 TO
him. There could be no possible reason
able excuse for asking him To pay them
the $500.
But be wrote them that he had the
money and was ready To finish up the
job. SO were they. They wrote him
that one OF their men was making a deal
with n man at Port Chester. This man,
they said. would meet him and take him
to New York. Nichols met his man late
in the day and they started off for New
York rs he supposed, but really. as he
found out later, to Long Island City.

lie has IL no more. lie had $500 in good
clear cash that he has no more. lie had
confidence in certain parties, hopes of
making good deal. ana several other
things. He has lost all of these also.
But in exchange for these he has had
three trips to New York. has mado the
acquaintance of several persons before un-
known To hiin, and has gained vast
amount of ex,erience III an incredibly
short space OF time.
But 70 is very doubtful IL ne feels at the
present time tnat he has got his moneys
worth. As n matter of fact he has been
made the victim Of a green goods or
'conndence game.
MIR. Nichols has neld his policy for Is
years, paying the premiums on IL regularly
as they became due. BY the lterms the
policy matured at the end Of 20 years, or
IN five years time he could surrender it
To the company for 5000 But the
premises tor the next nve years
amounted to about $500. lie thought if

would be just as well off as TO pay $500

He received letter one day from New
York signed Henry \. Hamilton. This
letter stated that IL was the business of
the house II do all kinds of insurance

To make sure of his party he inquired
Of Jesse Nj. Wheelock. general agent of
the Norl h gestt rn Life Insurance. in this
city, who told him that tHamilton was

simmer Care of BLANKETS.

Blankets after the winter use are never
clean. and should not be put away witnoul
being washed. Many housekeepers in view
OF the shrinking and discolorng caaseo
by washing, satisfy themselves with atrinS
and shaking their blankets, but this II
q great mistake, for il the work Is prop
eriy done the soft appearance and WHITE
ness may be retained for years.
The most important consideration In
washing blankets is to have plenty OF
soft water and good soap. An inferior cheap
soar is really the cause OF the injury done
WOODEN goods in washing, as it hardens and
yellows the fibre. When ready TO begin the
work. shake the blankets free OF dust, I'LL
a tub nearly full of soft hot water, and dis
solve third Of cake OF Ivory soap IN 1t:
Put one blanket in at time and dip up and
down, gently washing with the hands.
Never rub soap on blankets, or wash
on the washboa<d After the blankets
are clean, rinse them in warm water until
free of suds. Add little bluing to the last
water. Shake end squeeze rather than
wiring. and hang dn the line until dry. Then
fold and pack away in box securely 10
exclude the moth. Blankets washed in this
way will keep their original freshness and
wear very much longer than put away
soiled year after year. ELIZA R. PARKER.
