THE ETNA INSURANCE. Tans Co.

rs the strongest exclusively fire insur-
i ance company in the world, and with
all its financial strength, it is neither over
bearing or contentious; but to the con-
trary its liberality is proverbal among its
patrons and insurance people, and its ad-
iuStmpnt of losses are always satisfactory.
The .IGtna has been before the insuring

Now the thing to do, if you have not
already done it, is to insure your proper

a fourth of its value is better than no in

matter over, will appreciate your busi-

There is one thing, however, that the
public should be cautious of, and that is
the many "wildcat" companies that are.
doing business in this territory, whose
indemnity contracts are not worth the
paper they are written on, and which will
require only one fire loss to demonstrate
the fact. My companies are business en-
terprises of the highest class and standing
and since the indemnity they offer is the
very best, they do not seek to impress you
with the idea that they are so philan-
lhropic that they will indemnify you
against loss at a less cost than experience
dearly bought has taught them that it is
worth. My companies are now carrying

Free shows. In Paris.

The theaters of Paris have popular
representations ON certain days, when
the seats cost only a quarter or half
the usual price. There are also days
like the national holiday duly 10Y
when most of the theaters give gratu-
itous spectacles. These occasions are
characterized only by the best pieces,
and actors dispute among themselves for
the advantage of playing before this
special public. No other audience is
more grateful or more impressionable.
They rarely have the pleasure of being
present at the play, They are not blases,
nor are they familiar with the wings.
Having gained their places by long
waiting at the door, they occupy them
as conquests; they listen in silence, ap-
plaud with enthusiasm, weep all to-
gether, the prey of simple and conta-
gious emotion.-Outlook.
