The Prudential'S Prosperity.

No other life insurance company whose
age is the same as The prudcntial's ever
made such an increase in its business in
any one year as did The Prudential In
Surancc Company of America for the
year 1901. Over S2I3 .OmODO of life in
surance was written and placed. making
the total amount of insurance in force
over IO3,OOO,OUO. Big increases are
shown in the amount paid to policy
holders; in the assets of the Company; in
the yearly income; and in the surplus Of
assets over liabilities.
Altogether the first year of the new
century was n most successful one for
The Prudential. 1t is quite clear that
such results have been achieved only by
the most vigilant management and the
most upright and honorable business me
thods in carrying out the work of pro-
viding life insurance protection for the
people. Write to the Home Office of the
Company, Newark, N. j., for information
concerning its policies, which furnish
guaranteed protection to the family, as
well as dividends to the policy holder.
The company's branch Office in Elkton
is located in the Tucker building, North
street, and is In charge of ]. II. Blanch-
seld. Assistant Superintendent.

A Unique Request.

Among the experiences that helped a
now prominent attorney to emerge
from the condition of a briefless bar
ristcr he tells the following: One day a
misery old fellow came to him and
asked that the young attorney draw up
a will.
'HOw much cash have you?" was
the first Interrogation.

ent; ''somewheres nigh ON to $4,000, l
reckon"
How do you wish it divided"

bequeath $1,000 to each of my three

himself of the legal phrase with much
gravity and elaboration.
"What else do you wish to say?"
Say that 10 each of my several
nieces and nephews l also give the
sum of $1,000"
Hold on, sir; this is a work of SUI
pererogation. You have already dis
posed of all your money. How are
they to be given the sums you speci-
fy?"

Her Marriage Dot.


The Emperor Joseph ii. was in the
habit of walking about incogrito One
morning he went into coffee shop
and asked for a cup of chocolate
He was plainly dressed and the wait
ers, being ignorant of his rank, in
solently refused it, saying it was too
early.
Without making any reply he
walked out and went into a little cof-
fee house hard by and asked for a
cup of chocolate. The landlord an
Ewered that it should be ready in a
moment.
While he waited for it he walked
up and down and was conversing on
different subjects when the landlords
daughter, a very pretty girl, made
her appearance.
The emperor wished her good day
and observed to her father that it was
high time a flower in full bloom
should marry before it faded.
'Ah." replied the honest old man,
eff l had but thousand crowns
could marry her to fine young man
who is very fond of her! But, sir,
the chocolate is ready"
The emperor called for a pen, ink
and paper. The girl ran to fetch them,
when he gave her an order ON his
banker for the thousand crowns.

Fashions Echoes.

Velvet flowers, such as anemones,
roses, peoples, iris and pomegranate,
are being used for millinery.
Though it changes its trimmings
somewhat, the bolero lives on and is
likely to have long reign.
The downward droop of some Of the
sleeves looks as if we were to indulge
in the Victorian sleeve once more.
Velvet founces will be used on cloth
costumes.
Hand painted velvet buttons are an
exquisite conceit.
The long coats so useful for late
autumn are in the ulster shape or in
the directoire and empire styles.

Notes From The jewelers. Circular

The jeweled button fastening on
cardcases, pocketbooks, etc, remains
a favorite.
The tendency to very soft or time
worn tints in metals for tableware
vases and similar objects has been
long apparent in silver.
The old fashioned combination Of
mother of pearl and silver is regaining
favor for umbrella handles.
Souvenir cups in silver and in the
new pure tin metal promise to make
good run this season.
Old fashioned candlesticks in many
styles are now objects of value.
Combinations Of green, yellow aud
red gold are decidedly the last word In
jewelry.

The shrew was originally the shrew

Beautiful Rounded Arms.

For those who wish their arms to be
beautifully rounded the best exercise to
take will be found in the common, rather
humdrum duty Of sweeping. Salt baths
will improve the skin. Make a slushlike
brine with coarse salt and water and ap-
ply it briskly to the rough skin until it
reddens; then sponge it off with cold,
clear water. When high, stiff collars
have left their mark upon the neck in a
sort of deep seated stain, weak solution
of peroxide of hydrogen will remedy it
as well as anything. Never use hot wa
ter on the skin without following it with
cold water. The hot water causes the
muscles to relax and opens the pores,
leaving the flesh fabby. Cold water
makes 1t firm.

Canada's Banking business

The banking business in Canada is
on different plan from that in this
country. The headquarters of most of
the banks throughout the Dominion is
in Ontario, either at Hamilton. King
ston or Toronto. Each bank has its
central office, generally in one of the
cities named, and as many branches as
it cares to maintain in different parts
of Canada, some of these branches be-
ing as far distant as Dawson.
