.The song OF one shirt..

with fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat In unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread
Stitch! Stitch! Stitch
"In poverty, hunger and dirt.
And still with a voice of dolorous pitch,
Would that its tone could reach the rich,
She sang this Song of the Shirt "
. Hood.
Would that this song could reach the in
nermost heart Of those men, who, living
in comfort and seeming affiuence now,
may soon die, leaving such a heritage.
Bitter. indeed, Is the lot of the wife and
mother who is left dependent or in want.
Better, far better, would 1t be to make
assurance doubly sure and spare no ef-
fort until a policy for a sum adequate to
the needs of dependent ones has been Sc
cured. policy In the Massachusetts Mu-
tual, organized in 1851, the leading Massa-
chusetts company, is the most desirab BILE,
because it has behind 1t, not only the
guarantee of the company, always reliable
and staunch, but the laws of the com
monwealth of Massachusetts, which do
more to protect policy holders than the
laws of any other state In the union.
Many find this out too late. Why not
examine these laws before placing your
insurance? 1t will do no harm, and we
send them, together with specimen policy
and other interesting literature, at your
request. Write to-day, giving your

The announcement in the Morning News
a few days ago that the city exchange was
rapidly nearing its century mark, created
general surprise II is doubtful if there
were half dozen people in the city who
were aware that such was the case.
While many people have anlmadverted
in recent years upon the ancient appear
ance of the building, few were aware that
it had more than reached three score and
ten, which is good old age in these days
for buildings. as well as men. 1t is very
plainly of record however, that the cor
nerstone of the exchange was laid June
4, 1893, with Masonic ceremonies.
The following account of the ceremonies
is contained in the records of the Grand
Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons:
The Grand Lodge convened In conse-
quence of an invitation by the Mayor and
aldermen TO lay the cornerstone of the
city exchange. The members present went
IN procession, attended by the corpora
