Every man should pay his own
funeral expenses and not die a pauper.
There is family pride about such
things, and the parents or the widow
will sacrifice everything for the loved
one. The doctors bill, the drug bill,
the burial case, the burial lot, the car
riages, the hearse and the mourning
all cost money. A few months ago a
young man of our town died away
from home. His life was devoted to
his mother and sisters, but it was not
insured and the express charges and
other expenses have been a grievous
burden. How easily he could have
carried policy of $1,000, out of which
he could have been buried and left a
good sum for his widowed mother.
wonder how many of these travel
ing young men carry policy for their
mother or their sisters. Filial love is
a sweet and blessed thing and the oc-
casional visits of the boys to their
homes is a comfort and a joy, but
when death comes, untimely and unex-
pected, the bereaved ones can't live on
sorrow. | was Illuminating about all
this because one of our boys has sent
home a duplicate of a policy he has
taken out for the benefit of his sisters.
He will keep it alive as long as he
lives. He will do more. He will look
after and protect them when the
parents have passed away. That is a
parents great concern what will be.
come of the girls the unmarried ones
when we are dead? Will they have
to live in penury or accept a home with
| kindred-a home where they are per
haps not wanted:and where the feeling
of dependence is ever before them:
And so thought would write let
ter and encourage young men who
| love their sisters to carry reasonable
| policy for their benefit. / know many
girls who have been to the Worlds
Fair on brothers bounty,'an that is
all right; but it will be still better to
take a life policy for their benefit and
keep the premium punctually paid
Twenty five years ago | carried one in
the old knickerbocker for the benefit
of my wife, but the company failed
and | quit in disgust. But they don't
fail now. There are plenty of good
companies solid as rock and there is
no excuse. Stop, young man-stor
and think and | know that you will
agree with me. Let us all take care OF
the girls, married or unmarried, if they
are needy or dependent.

EGOTISM.

From her nest an old hen wildly springs.
Oh, how loudly she eackleS and sings
While thus she sings in her noisy way,
Let's hear what the old fraud has to say;
Never before since the worlds been made
Has an egg like mine by hen been laid
The cock from that egg, right at his birth.
VIII crow so loud as to jar the earth;
Then all other cocks struck with dismay.
shall droop their tails and scamper away.
My mother was game; she boSsed the flock,
Growing as loud as fighting cock.
Oh. I am =ird of high degree
And all other fowls bow low to me-"
That conceit is not confined TO men,
Is shown in the case of this old hen.
But for what fowl cannot he blamed
II would seem some folks are not ashamed;
For they. too. cackle. in many ways,
Disgusting all hearers with self-praise.
They can neither lay nor hatch, hut then
They're just as vain as that same old hen
II is said this and did that;
Indeed. / and is all their chat.
1t is they alone that must he heard
While nobody else can say one word.
They love to argue hot h loud and long
And are never known to argue wrong,
Sooner the the sun in his course would halt
Than they would confess themselves in fault.
No sense of shame binders or dauntS them
From pushing where nobody wants them;
Behind counters and private places,
They intrudc their unwelcome faces
And with an air that is meant to say:
Don't mind us. it is only our way"
In speaking to others. young or old,
The usual Mister they withhold,
These conceted puff> making no bones
To call those addressed plain Bro,rH or Jones.
They brag of themselves, horses and hogs;
They brag Of their folks, cattle and dogs;
Whate'er they own is priceless gem,
And all because it belongs to them.
Their self-esteem. like a noXious weed,
Has grown and spread and run up to seed;
Until they. oyer-ratng their worth,
Fancy themselves the salt of the earth.
They ask themselves with concern and dread
What the world will do when they are dead,
Defend us, kind Fate, If Fate exists,
From all cackling hens and cyclists.

Very Suddenly.
DEATH OF ALEXANDER JAHNS.
Well Known Resident of the North Side
Expired Tuesday Embellishments
Spreading and an Epidemic Feared.

| Pneumonia and kindred lung dis
eases are spreading at an alarming
rate in this city and it is feared that
an epidemic of the disease will result
| The doctors report scores of cases of
pneumonia and many deaths have oc-
Cured during the past few weeks.
| While the disease is proving exceed
1ngly severe among children, it is
spreading to adults and today many
new cases were reported.
| Christian Christ jansen was the latest
victim of the disease and his death was
very sudden one. The young man
was 81 years of age and a son of Mr..
and Mrs. Ange1ous Christ jansen. He
was employed at the Simmons factory
| and was to work as usual Tuesday.
During the afternoon he enjoyed his
usual robust health, but toward even
| ing he was seized with a pain in his
lungs He thought little of the attack
and remained at work until the shop
closed, and then walked to his home
on Milwaukee avenue. Shortly after
supper he fe1ts the pain in his lungs
again and became very i'll. A doctor
| was summoned and remained with him
most of the night. Early this morn
ing he became much worse and died
shortly before O'Clock.
The death of the young man will
cause a great deal of sorrow in the
ranks of the employees of the Simmons
factory. He had been employed at the
factory for some time and was a gen
era1 favorite with all. The deceased
was we'll known on the North side,
having lived in the city from early
childhood.
The funeral will be held from the
Danish Lutheran church on Sunday
morning at 1880 O'Clock. The remains
will be inferred in the city cemetery.
