A REMARKABLE CASE.

The following case was printed originally
in The Monitor, newspaper published at
Meaford, Ontario. Doubts were raised as
to its truthfulness, consequently a close
watch was kept on the case for two years and
the original statement has now been COM
pletely verified.
Mr.. Petch had been hopeless paralytic
for five years. His case has had wide atten-
ton. He was confined to his bed, was bloat-
ed almost beyond recognition, and could not
take solid food. Doctors called the disease
spinal sclerosis, and all said he could not
live. The Canadian Mutual Life Associa-
ton, after thorough examination, paid him
his total disability claim of 81 900, regarding
him as forever incurable.
For three years he fingered in this condi-

Catarrh of the lining membrane of the

REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION
Nary "KiIlarney Cat" In this Assem-;
blage of Patriots.

The representative republicans of Lin
coin county have met, have resolved
and have parted. Their places in the
hotels, boarding houses and on the street
corners know them no more; their last
sad farewells linger along the classic
Depoe and stick thick and fast in the
Toledo mud. The vanquished are still
wondering what hit 'em while the VIC
tors, flushed and happy, make vain
show and boasting with divers scalps
dangling as their belts. The ticket is
well distributed-in the west part of the
county, while the eastern half is given
to understand that they have no rights
which a republican convention is bound
to respect. All day Tuesday delegates
and candidates came pouring in to Tole-
do. The streets swarmed with anxious
men who were willing to sacrafice them
selves for the good Of their county and
country, and it is still question as to
which were in the majority, the candi-
dates or the delegates. One thing
seemed to worry official aspirants, and
that was the unknown quantity in the
Siletz But when, as the shades of even
ing were gathering, Buford rode into
town, closely followed by twelve other
delegates, their doubts we're removed and
they realized the solemn fact that Siletz
held the balance of power. Then there
was hurrying to and fro, and candidates
fell over each other in their frantic efforts
to reach Buford. Tuesday night was 9
veritable Gethsamane to the candidates
From early evening to the wee sma hour
they could be seen in groups Of twos
threes and more in hotel corridors, il
alleys, along the railroad track, in tn,
shadow of the depot, and every plac'
where man who looked like delegat
could be held up. When, at last, tn
eventful day arrived, it was found tina
something unusal had occurred-that
destroying angel had passed through il
the night and slain all the candidate
that did not have the blood-mark o.
sheir door posts. The day before Toled
had four stalwart candidates for count
Judge, but they had been put into re
tort, melted and run into one. BY thi
method Of killing off its surplus, tn
labor Of the convention was simplifed.

Guiding Principles in Life Insurance.

That life insurance is wise and ben
conceded. 1t is the only method by
which man OF limited income can pro.
vide for his family in case of his DEATH
! OF course, If q man were sure that he
would live to a good old age, and that
he could lay aside "a given sum every
year, insurance would be unnecessary
| Nothing is so uncertain as human life;
and while hope looks forward TO many
years, wisdom and experience bid every
man alike, as regards his temporal and
eternal interests, have his house al.
ways in order. In selecting the method
and the amount OF insurance there are
few general principles that cannot
we'll be ignored. |. AS to amount. II
is not wise TO overload, for, as the old
adage puts it, "To overdo is to undo. .
Too much insurance discourages and
depresses. 2. Select a tried system
and a tried order or company Jonah Is
gourd is fit emblem of many insur-
ance enterprises. They start with a
flourish OF trumpets, make large prom
es, and offer immense inducements;
but, alas! if they go up with the beauty
of rocket, they come down with the
dull thud of the stick. In this list may
be placed all orders that offer short
term endowment policies on small
premiums. You cannot draw out OF II
cistern more water than goes in. A
man of small means, with family de-
pending upon him, cannot afford to
take risks. 3. When in a good order
or company, stick. Every time you
change the insurance becomes more
expensive. AS far as expense is con-
cerned, better make a little sacrifice
than forfeit your policy. If the man
who in money matters is "shOrt" gives
up his insurance, he may find, when
his affairs are in better shape and he
goes to reinsure, that he is no longer a
good risk, and therefore is out forever.
This leads up to the last point. A. Do
not delay. In no temporal concern is
delay more dangerous. Every year
that you defer adds TO the cost, and
there is always the possibility OF inn
paired health or subtle disease stand
ing in the way.
These four rules are a constellation
OF guiding stars, by whose light one
may solely walk, but he who disregards
them will very likely come to grief in
some we'll laid snare or carefully con-
cealed pitfall.

The lesson was from the Prodigal

the character OF the elder brother.
"But amidst all the rejoicing" he
said, "there was one to whom the pre-
paration OF the feast brought no JOY,
to whom the prodigal's return gave no
pleasure, but only bitterness; one who
did not approve of the feast being held /,
and who had no wish to attend it.
Now can any one of you tell me who
this was?" There was a breathless
silence, followed by a vigorous crack

chorus: "Please sir, it was the fatted

wears the cast off garments Of his white
