The Best Way out.

n
The greatest problem confronting the
masses just at this particular season
is that of holiday gift-givlns -what 10
give. Many lavish money on presents
costly and beautiful. Others more
wise, give something useful.
1t is a question that every husband
ard father should weigh carefully and
earne silly before deciding.
Money represents labor. effort.
The spending of money means the
distribution OF the result Of hard work.
IL is a serious and responsible EGsi-
ness.
Try this year to make your spending
wisely.
Give to your family something they
need. Something that will do them
good. the most good.
What will that something be? There's
but one answer policy on your life
in the Massachusetts Mutual,
What better Christmas present could
a poor widow wish for than docu-
ment that would pay her rent and pro-
vide for her hungry children for a good
long time to come?
Many men look upon the cost of
keeping up a life insurance policy as
a burden. Never stop to think that
the very money, at Christmas time
alone is sufficient to carry policy in
the Massachusetts Mutual.
But don't dive blindly. Remember
that you're making a big Investment
when you take out the policy-an in
vestment of 20 years, or for life, what
ever the term of your policy might be.
It's a matter worthy of your most ear
nest consideration. Look well before
you leap-read the fine print, don't de-
pend on estimates to mature 20 years
hence-you may find out, when too
late, that these estimates are seldom,
if ever, attained. The Massachusetts
Mutual declares dividends annually,
writes a fair square, policy which pro-
vides for every possible contingency,
and under which you enjoy the pro-
lection of the laws OF Massachusetts
which do more to protect policy-hold-
ers than the laws of any other state
in the Union.
We ask you to investigate the plans
of the Massachusetts, Mutual Life IN
surance Company. We'd like to talk
over this matter with you. Will sub
NIT matter for your consideration or
make personal call. as you desire upon
receipt of postal. Harry & Apple, man
ayers for Georgia, III Bay street east,

Important to Merchants of the Bay
and Broughton street.

Do you appreciate the dangers Of
commercial life, where turn of the
market or poor collections frequently
sweep away the accumulation of years
and leaves you researches and in deep
debt?
When this time comes, as it may to
any man, it is not the big debts that
make you almost desperate; but the
thousand singing gnats of small ac-
counts. Those to whom you owe hun
dreds realize they must watt but each
of the hundred fellows to whom you
may owe S. bill thinks his is such
a small amount that you would pay
him If you were not an Internal ras-
cal, and may the Lord protect you
when this swarm gathers around your
head.
Men care little for themselves, when
business misfortune overtakes them,
but are erazed by the fear their fam
lies may suffer for want of actual ne
cessities; therefore if you can, without
defrauding your creditors, turn over to
your wife the house you live in and
give her enough improved real estate
to bring her an income of a hundred
dollars a month. Then when the hour
or trouble comes, you will know that,
however your own affairs may shape
themselves, those you love will not
face actual poverty and its attendant
humiliation.
The question is: Have you the right
to do this? If you have obligations
this money is needed to settle. No!
But if you are ahead of the world, you
have no right to refuse to deliver to
your wife just share of your mutual
profits, and they are mutual. Though
thus far you may have kept all in your
own hands, the chances are that in her
sphere she has done quite as much as
you toward bringing prosperity and
her part should not be imperilled by
every risk you choose to take. Life
insurance is a splendid thing, and
every man should carry some; but who
except your wife VIII pay your pre-
miums when you haven't a cent? Don't
take the money and put it in stocks
and bonds for her; they are too easy
to get out of the box when you are
slightly pressed and need collateral.
Put it in real estate and let the agent
who collects report to her.
Fixed this way, you will have conf
dence and energy to resume your bust
ness and redeem yourself; without it,
embarrassed and ashamed by need of
trif1ing amounts to meet actual living
expenses, you may be pressed down
ward to permanent and final ruin.
Don't lay this aside with the idea
that it might do for somebody else,
but that you will always be all right
Don't you know that plenty of men
with as much money and capacity as
you possess have met with reverses?
For ten thousand dollars, part cash,
balance yearly, / can sell you real es-
tate that will bring in 800 every month
that rolls around. A postal card will
bring you list of it. John L. Archer,

THREE LOCAL MEASURES.
savannah's New Laws Passed by
the Legislature.

the LeEtslatures
The only two local measures pushed
by the representatives of Chatham
county during the last session of the
present Legislature were passed, and
a third bill offered in the House by
Representative Hitch was later with
drawn. SO far as local bills were con-
cerned the Chatham delegation was
not heard from except upon these
three occasions.
= The city extension bill, in a little diff
ferent form from the one first drawn
up, had the support of the entire del
egation. and with the Governors Sig
nature, will become a law. The bill
for the election of city officers by the
incoming board Of Council also had
the unanimous approval of the three
representatives., and the senator. and
despite opposition from members of the
Council, was passed.
Representative Hitch's bill providing
for the division of the City Court fell
through. 1t was introduced in the
House, but after it's disapproval by
the municipal and county authorities,
the author made no further effort to
have it brought up. Although still
believing the measure a good one Mr..
Hitch allowed 1t to remain upon the
table. This measure was opposed by
Representatives Harden and Wells
and Senator Cam never expressed
himself on the subject.
Chatham's delegation is we'll known
to the members of the Legislature.
The senator from this district and the
representatives were heard from on
all of the important bills. They did
not devote their time to paving the
way for the introduction of factional
measures, for the reason that none
were contemplated. Senator Cam was
an important parsonage in the Senate,
and his opinion on all important mat
tiers was respected. He was on several
important committees from his branch
of this Legislature

Sherlock Holmes. Jr,

Sherlock Holmes, Jr., looked at the let
ter which his friend had laid before him.
according to the Chicago Times Herald.
and calmly said:
"A woman's name is signed to this"
yes 1t is the name of my landlady.' -
VERY well. She didn't write It," the
great detective replied in tone that was
wholly free from any trace of agitation.
but, my dear sir, she must have writ
ten it. Nobody else would have had any
object in writing that letter to me- See.
she says she has decided to raise my rent
50 month this year; she tells me, too,
that she will not do any papering for me,
and she plainly gives me to understand
that il 1 don't like it 1 can get out. OF
course she wrote it. It's just like her.
Certainly nobody else would dare to
write that to me and sign her name to
1t. Perhaps you mean merely that she
dictated it?"
No" Sherlock Holmes, Jr., declared,
1T mean that she never saw this letter
If you were renting from a man 1 could
readily believe that he had written these
words to you. But, although 1t is evident
that this is made to look very much like
woman's hand, no woman wrote it, and
no woman dictated 1T. Only eleven out of
a possible fifty-four words are under
scored"
Holmes you are a marvel. You have
taken a weight off my mind Now can
go on calmly making arrangements to
keep the house on the old terms"
Meanwhile the great detective went on
looking for clews to other things.
