old reservations have been stricken
out. and even the famous suicide

occurred some years ago in n neigh

the facts briefly, without mentioning

for $4,000 on the day Of his marriage.
Soon after, for no apparent reason,
he began to dissipate heavily, and 1t
presently became apparent to every
body that he was going to the dogs.
By successive steps he lost his posi-
ton, his friends, his health, his self
respect-lost everything. In fact, that
a man can lose in such a downward
career. His wife, after heroic strug-
gle, was forced to obtain a divorce;
his family finally abandoned him to
his fate, and in that pitiful plight he
capped the climax by committing a
deliberate murder In drunken brawl.
1T seemed certain that he would be
convicted, and little or no effort had
been made to arrange for his defense,
when the agent who had insured his
life happened to remember that the
hanging clause was omitted In the
form Of policy he had taken out. The
old forms contained reservation void

'as punishment for crime but In the
process of simplifcation it had been
stricken out. In other words, 1t was
clear that the company would be stuck

best lawyer in town to conduct the
defense, drummed up witnesses, did
missionary work with the press, and.
to make n long story short, the jury
brought in verdict of manslaughter.
The young man was sent to prison for
a term of years, and, falling to pay his
next premium, the policy was can
