Democrats and Republicans

In fact it matters not with what
political party you are affiliated, you
should be Protectionist in one re-
spect. That is to say you should
protect yourselves against loss by
the destruction of your property by
fire; and what is still more essential,
protect your families against the loss
of their support by the death of the
person who produces that support
the husband the father. This latter
protection can be obtained practical
ly without expense, since it is pos
sible, and in fact compulsory, for the
life insurance company to safely in
vest the funds paid into their hands,
and, after term of years, return
same with profits to policy holders,
if living, on demand.
This matter should command your seri-
Gus attention. Delay is dangerous
and expensive. You will therefore
do well to consult the agent in regard
to the merits of the Penn Mutual
Life Insurance Company of Phila-
delphia, which is justly reputed to
be the most conservative and the
most economical as well as the most
liberal and equitable in its dealings
with policy holders.
1t is no experiment or adventure
but by all odds the safest and best
investment you can make, besides
furnishing protection to your family.
The Penn Mutual is already over
53 years old and has over 200, 900, 900
of insurance in force, several hum

several months in the italian settlements
around New York. 1t was given world
wide publicity two weeks ago by the sui

''It is the greatest crime of the century.
Humbert was good and faithful. No per-

He was one who bore ill will to none"
The assassin's name is variously given
as Angelo and Gaetno Bress. He was
born in Prato Nov. 10, 1869. and is a
weaver by trade.
He comes from America, where he had
resided at Paterson, n. j. He says he
