These facts were asoertained by the

pipe was permitted to sink until Il struck
bottom and It rested after forty feet had

feet into what they say is bed OF alb

One needs trace but indifferently the

that no institution common to our peo-
pie carries with it larger and more i'm

national thrift, and to understand why
no vocation open to the energetic
youth may the more effectually engen-

No one mind can fully grasp the i'm

quote the homely words of an adver-

, WHAT ARE THE
YOUNG MANS CHANCES?
WILLIAM B. CARLILE.

Manager Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany.
1t is not my purpose to glorify the
business of life insurance by extensive
reference to the benign humanity under
lying it's conception this have it's found
ers done, and how we'll, the mighty re-
suits everywhere attained and open for
inspection, indisputably attest. To
dwell upon the accuracy, beauty and
mathematical dimensions of it's struc-
ture, would be to seriously encroach
upon the domain of the erudite actuary,
who to this business has given substance
and enduring strength. All honor to
these men whose work is never done,
and who, from the heights of knowl-
edge, peer into the widening ignorance,
sighting from afar, the dangerous
heresies that would menace the life in
surance business. Nor have time to
narrate how consistently rapid has been
the evolution Of the life insurance idea
how full and lucid it's Interpretation of
the Laws of Average. This is for the
annalist-not the man of practical af-
fairs.
Were to do more than to express as
my opinion that the imperishability of
our established government may not
find better and more accurate measure
ment than in the rise and fall of this
one department of our industrial activ-
ity; that to encourage life insurance as
a business, is but to give stability to our
governmental institutions, and to guar
antee their enjoyment-would be to un-
pardonably trespass upon the well
cared for preserves of the sociologist,
the political economist, and of him who
would investigate the civic condition of
his kind.
Clearly, discussion of these ques-
tions is not for me, save that which is
homliest, life insurance as business,
clean-cut in character,-yielding no
precedence.
A business demanding level-headed-
ness and hard common sense; CONNER
cial instinct and practical wisdom; hon
esty, not merely of purpose, but of acts,
deeds and utterance; honesty of heart,
of thought and of countenance; honesty
in the things that are to give semblance
to well-rounded career. all impregna-
bly, backed by an invincible squareness,
marking every transaction concerned in
it's progress; business that dares de-
mand of every man his best, and dares
insist that this best be made the better;
that would claim, as we'll, mans best of
heart and soul; whose multiplying ex-
actions mean sleepless watchfulness,
an unfaltering step, an ever cheerful,
