Among the many instances OF kindness
shown To the members OF the Canadian
contingent now on their way to South
Africa. none is more thoughtful more
suitable or more appropriate than that
OF the Dominion government In insuring
the lives OF the troop. One OF the hardest
trials of the soldier departing for the
wars il that in case OF his death some
helpless but near and dear relative or
relatives may be deprived OF the support
which he gives them. The Canadian SOL
der through the action of the govern
nient. Is deprived OF this fear. and the
fact that partial provision has been made
for those left behind viii be comfort to

Otis really great man. and believe that

censured in pitiless manner for things
that no mortal man could be blamed for.

Origin Of Life Insurance.

The practice of insuring human lives
first came into use two hundred years
ago-to be exact, on October 6. 1893
and credit for being the first to give
real life to the movement Is due to
the Rev. DR.. William Assheton, of Lon
don On the date above mentioned the
Insurance Society for the Benefit OF
Widows and Orphans was incorpnrat-
ed In London, Its statutes and bylaws
being framed in accordance with the
views sci forth In a book, which was
published In 1861 and which was en-
titled Natural and Political Investiga-
lions In Regard to the Current Lists
of Births and Deaths
John Graunt n wealthy Londoner,
was the author of this book. and AS
shelton was so impressed when he read
Ii that he at once took steps to form a
life insurance company. lie succeeded.
but not without much difficulty. and
among the provisions of this first COM
pany were tho following: A married
man, not more than thirty years old
could be insured for 1000, one not
more than forty for $500. and one not
more than sixty for G300. Sailors and
persons travelling to distant countries
would not be Insured, and suicides. as
Wtll us tHuhe tuliueHlHeu u utdlH, lobl
the benefits of their insurance.
The company tlourlshed during the
first year. but soon anterward the d.
rectors learned to their cost that the
expenditure was much In excess of the
receipts, and consequently they raised
the rate considerably. This did not
help them much however, and the re-
suit was that Parliament finally came
to their relief by granting the company
an annual subsidy of $4,000. From this
time forward the company did n good
business and II was not long before
similar companies were started
throughout Europe, as well as In this
country.

When we grow cid, dear love, and
from my eyes
The light and brilltance of my hot
youth dies,
And all the fairness you are praising
now
Casts but Its wrath DER lip and cheek
and brow,
While one by one your golden visions
flee
ask you-will you love me faithfully
When we grow oldf
When time shall turn these sunny
locks TO gray,
From my trim form all beauty take
away,
When grace and ease and elegance are
gone
Aud naught is left Loves fires TO feed
upon,
You, whom choose my king among
all men,
Still your hearts queen, shall be
reigning then
When we grow old2
God keep you ever happy by my side!
Though age may stem this fevered
passion tide,
When worn and weary down LIES
vale we stray,
BE my hearts anchor as you are to-
day;
Re my true love that shall the closer
cling
Through all the changes coming years
may bring;
Our faith uphcld--count this our last

That we so live that Love undimmed
remain
When we grow old,
