kotloe to the public

We have been asked by II party living
in the Arkansas valley near Lamar the
question if the SECURITY Life Insurance
company of New York, for which Il
young man has been writing insurance
among the farmers around Lamar and
Holly during the past summer, Is the
OLD MUTUAL Life of New York, which
has many millions of dollars behind IL
and has been in business over fifty years.
We answer positively NO. 1t has no
connection whatever with the Mutual
Life Insurance company Of New York,
which has the largest capital OF any
life insurance company in the world,
amounting to S325, ,OOO,O 900, exclusive OF
its surplus of $50, 100000, and has been
in business fifty-eight years, and has
over 81 900, 10000 of insurance now in
force, and has paid to policy holders up
to January of this year 190l) over
$40, 100000 If anyone has a policy in
the Security Mutual Life of New York
and think they are in the old reliable

taken.

Securely Wedced to His Pine.

AS is we'll known, Thomas Carlyle,
the great Scottish eSsayist and histo-
rian, was a slave to tobacco. In his
home, his study or out of doors he was
seldom seen without his pipe and he
smoked the strongest tobacco he could
procure. During a large part of his life
he was sufferer from insomnia and
his friend, Sir Charles Gavan Duffy.
once suggested to him that one who
suffered so much from sleeplessness
and indigestion ought not to smoke so
constantly. Carlyle replied that he had
once given up smoking for an entire
year at the instance of doctor, who
assured him that his only ailment was
too much tobacco. At the end of the
year he was walking one evening in
the country, so weak that he was hard
ly able to crawl from tree to tree, when
he suddenly determined that whatever
was amiss with him that fellow at
least did not understand it." ana he re-
turned to tobacco and smoked after
ward without let or hindrance. In his
latter days he used a clay pipe made in
Dublin and known as the Repeal He
was unable to renew the supply and
Sir Charles Duffy assured him that
these pipes We're strictly reserved for
true believers in Irish nationality and
promised him supply if he qualified
in the ordinary manner. Carlyle never
qualified.

No, sir: you are good enough for me

The next day O'Shaughnessy was
called into the packers private office

was also given a raise in salary of 81 a

GRABBED BY AN ICEBERG.
Thrilling Experience of Vessels Grew
on the Pacific Ocean.

Thrilling Experience of Vessels Crew
on the Pacific Ocean.
A thrilling story of a vessels encoun-
ter with an iceberg is told by Captain
Chester of the schooner ElWOOd. While
the schooner was on u fishing cruise in
the northern waters Captain Chester
sighted an immense iceberg apparently
fast on reef known to exist just off
Hoonia. It's lucky find" thought
the captain, as he headed the ElWoOd
for the berg, that he might fill the hold
with ice to preserve the fish he ex-
pected to catch. When the schooner
was within a few yards Of the berg the
anchor was dropped. The vessel
swung around until she came alongside
the berg, to which she was made fast
with lines. The tide was at the full; a
gangplank was thrown over to a ledge
on the ice, and the men began breaking
off chunks of ice and hosting them
aboard. All went we'll until evening,
when thirty tons Of ice had been slowed
in the hold.
Meanwhile the falling tide had
caused the berg to settle upon the reef
and to tip toward the side opposite the
vessel. The gangplank rose in the air
and had to be made fast to a ledge
nearer the water to keep it horizontal.
Captain Chester, suspecting that all
was not going to be well, ordered the
crew to make sail. Before they could
man the halyards the icebehg, with a
grinding roar, rolled off the reef and
started to turn over
A jagged spur of ice, which had
formed the bottom of the berg, rose on
the starb0ard side of the vessel and be-
meath it. The ice struck the keel, and
the vessel, lifted out Of the water, rest
ed in an ice cradle. Chester ordered
his men to get into the boats and out of
harms way. Cutting the lines THAT
held the schooner to the berg, the men
pulled to a safe distance and waited.
The anchor held fast, and the schoon-
err tugged at the chain The tide
dropped a few more inches, the iceberg
careened still farther and the Elwood
rose higher. This proved the schOon-
er's salvation. The tendency of the ice
berg to roll over and raise the vessel
brought such an enormous strain upon
the anchor chain that something had
to give way. Something did, and to the
joy of the fishermen it was not the
anchor or the chain. The iceberg
lurched and the schooner was seen to
slide several feet along the crevice in
which it rested. There was another
lurch and another slide. Then the YES
sci reached a downward grade and the
next instant shot off the iceberg and
into the sea, bows, on like a rocket.
She shipped heavy sea as the result
of pIunging her nose beneath the sur
face, but quickly righted, and after
stumbling over her anchor chain and
tugging viciously to get away, settled
down to her original state of tranquil
lity, TO all appearances unhurt-San

Farmers who have watched the ease
with which the large draft horses han
die heavy loads on good roads or city
pavements have been led to think that
a heavy horse must be the better ami
NAL in all cases, and we see many
farm teams that are far inferior in the
amount of work they can do in plow-
ing or in drawing a load upon soft
ground than much lighter team would
do easily. Then the heavy horses are
driven over our hilly roads oftcss Ct
rate of speed that causes them to pound
the earth so that the legs give out and
they are quickly lame. 1t certainly re-
quires more food to sustain a 1000
pound horses than one weighing from
1000 to 1900 pounds, and when not
constantly employed drawing heavy
loads the amount of work done by the
heavy horses does not compensate for
the extra cost of maintaining them. AS
farmers will have next spring to buy
horses or many will we advise them to
turn their attention TO the smaller
horses from Canada if they can be
found rather than to the Percherons
and Shire horses that have been so pom
ular lately. They will cost less prices,
cost less to keep, do about as much
work and endure much longer.-Ameri-

A NURSES STORY.

Graduate of Lakeside Hospital, Lake
Geneva, Tells an Interest ting Expe-

PESHTIGO, Wis, Jan. %, 1901.-(Spe-
cial )-One of the most popular nurses
that ever graduated from the Lakeside
Hospital, Lake Geneva, is Miss Lillian
Dreese, of this place. Miss DrecSe is
the Vice Templar of the Independent
Order of Good Templars, and Organist
of the Rebeccas of Peshtigo. During
her twelve years experience as a train
ed nurse, she has had many oppsrtuni-
ties for observation, and her opinion in
all medical health matters is held in
very high esteem by the thousands who
have learned to know and love her. In
speaking of her experience she says:
During my twelve years as trained
nurse, l have often observed how many
different physicians give their patients
Dodd's Kidney Pills in cases of Dia-
betes and Kidney Trouble. About three
years ago, l myself suffered some
months with a weakness and continual
congested condition. and l decided to
try what the Pills would do for me.
soon found that they built up the affect

entire system, and although l often lose
much sleep and rest while attending Sc
we're cases, l find that l was never in
finer health nor had more endurance
than since l have used these marvellous
Pills"
Clergymen say they are good, Sena-
tors and congressman have added their
evidence as to the wonderful curative
properties Of this Medicine, hundreds Of
physicians recommend them and use
them in their daily practice. The most
skilled trained nurses advise their use
and use them themselves, while tens of
thousands of sick and suffering people
are being cured every day by Dodds
Kidney Pills. They should cure you.
They will cure you. Try them. -
