RECOGNIZING THE DRUM MAJOR
He VIII Have n Now Uniform, But Lesi
Decorated FInery.


The drum major, the highly deco.
rated show piece of the military band
and the delight of the small boy, has
received official recognition. For sew.
eral years the drum major has been
sighted, and it was considered good
form to speak of him as unnecessary.
The National Guard bands took their
cue from the army, and the drum ma.
iors of the regimental bands became
less conspicuous. their uniforms less
elaborate, and in some instances the
bands dispensed with the services of
the man with the gold lace embroidered
red coat. But it seems that the army
has recognized the fact that the drum
major is necessary, and new style of
dress has been prescribed for him in

Gray Fashionable For Weddings.

Gray Fashionabie For Weddings.
The most charming materials for
gowns to be worn at the weddings of
the season are designed in gray crepe
de chino garnished with gray pearl
embroidery, and with such gown q
very flat-topped turban OF gray silk,
wound with scarf of pearl bedewed
white chiffon, is the smart and proper
thing. No note of color is thought
well of i'll connection with these very
neutral harmonies, and for all stately
affairs it is interesting to learn that
trains will be even longer than we
have ever before worn them.

Insure Your Life.

When you begin to think of insuring
your life the question is not as to
whether you can afford it, but whether
your family can afford to do without the
insurance in the event of your death.
Death comes to the cottage and to the
palace, claiming all times and all seasons
as his own; striking down the strong
man as we'll as the weak man, and the
wise man will make provision. He will
insure.
Afler all, what does man live for, if
it is not for his family? A million
dollars would not buy his weakest and
most helpless child. Shall he not
consider what their destiny is to be
after he is dead and gone? Who is to
take care of them when he ceases to
labor, or who will help them to ready
money 80 that they may get start at
helping themselves.
Life insurance helps. 1t helps at the
right time. When the once strong arm
lies stiff and cold, the life insurance
money comes like q benedicLion. 1t
keeps up tie fire on the hearth on a
cold winter night, buys the barrel OF
-four, pays the rent, clothes the children.
More than fifty millions of dollars are
paid every year by life insurance COM
paies to families that need the money.

Why should not your family have
share of it in case your are taken from
them? 1t is for you to say whether
they shall or not.
Some one will perhaps try to dis
courage you by telling you that you will
have to die to win. Very likely. The
soldier on the field of battle, fighting for
liberty, dies to win. Toe man who
loses his life in trying to save another
from drowning dies to win. That noble
fellow who the other day leaped in front
of a locomotive to save his child, and
who did save her, but lost his own life,
died to win. The man who steered the
burning steamer ashore and saved a
hundred Ives, perishing himself in the
flames, died to win. And what glorious
dying it was too! How the whole world
honors the men who have died to win!
| But your insurance has no influence
on your dying, unless it be that you will
live the longer for it. Whatever gives
peace of mind, other things being equal,
adds to ones days. Many men declare
that life insurance is worth all it costs
them in the comfort they derive from il
in knowing that their families are
provided for,

We Don't Believe the Report.

A Washington dispatch to the Boston
Post says that the Republican leaders
have decided to eliminate the color liie
in politics by cutting down the number
of Representatives and Presidential
electors from the States that have by
law, deprived the colored people of the
South of the right of voting. This it is
said would cut down South Carolina's
Representatives and electors fully one
half. This would be the right thing to
do. There is no reason why Southern
State should be allowed Representatives
for people that are not represented and
who are not allowed to vote. But we
don't believe that the party leaders have
the courage to take such step.
