THE SAME OLD PRICE.
Life Insurance Never Increases in Cost
With One InexorabIe Exception.

1t is an important fact that prices Of
nearly everything are on the increase.
Huge business combinations and
mergers on the one hand, and the I'M
precedented demands of labor on the
other, are producing the inevitable
result. Few things can be bought at
the cost of relatively short time ago
and further altitude of prices is a
seeming certainty.
Whether money itself is destined to
join in the general increase of cost and
interest rates are to advance is not
yet apparent. The theory is that the
older the country and the civilization,
the lower, as a whole, will always be
the tendency Of the interest rate. But
in phenomenal conditions alike Of the
capitalistic and the labor market all
rules may be set at naught, and money,
like nearly everything else, become
more expensive.
Curiously enough, one Of the most
valuable of all the financial staples,
and the one ranking hardly second to
money itself, life insurance, chances
to be something in which no material
increase of cost is possible. A man
pays practically the same for his life
Insurance today that his fellow in
Surant of the same age paid half a
century ago, and the new policy holder
of a hundred years will, so far as can
now be judged, pay. an Identical rate.
A healthy man at certain age has a
fixed probable number of years ahead
of him, and this automatically eS-
tablished probability determines the
cost of his insurance. That is all there
is to it.
1t costs no more and no less than 1t
did an insurant of the same age when
the wonderful science was first evolved
and no matter how the market acts,
how prices cavort, how business as a
whole GIBBS and flows, life insurance
remains unique as the only thing cost
ing policy holders of like ages the same
rate yesterday, today and forever.
But the paramount fact of the same
age" must be kept in mind. Next year
will always find it more costly for the
demonstrating insurant than this
year, and each year will add to its eX-
pense to him in an memorable ratio.
Say he is forty years old. He can buy
his life insurance at just about the
same price the new forty-year- old
policy holder paid in the earliest days
of standard insurance. But If he waits
until he is forty-one, not all the kings
horses nor all the kings men can pull
his insurance down to the forty year
rate. Besides, he may meantime de-
velop some illness that will shut him
out of the possibility of obtaining life
insurance at any price.

THE SURRENDER OF MR.. BAILEY.

count her proposals by the score; but Mr. Bailey of
Kansas, counts his by thousands With Mr. Bailey un-
wed, there seemed little chance of any girl surprising
his record but with Mr. Bailey safely married the mat

There is no doubt about it that Mrs.
Shaw, of Iowa, is a very great woman.
Whatever her husband may represent
in the cabinet or out of it, Mrs. Shaw
stands for modern Americanism. She
comes out and says what she means
and when a reporter is sent to her to
ask a question which could be an
sWered by yes or no, she gives him
an interview Of half column. There
is nothing mean about Mrs. Shaw and
she Is sensible to an alarming degree.
She proclaims that she has no desire
to be presented at the English court
because it is too expensive and too
tiresome. This from Iowa is not bad.
Mrs. Shaw told all about precedence
in official society in Washington, and
says frankly, Il come third" Mrs
Shaw is a modest woman and it may
be that from some oversight, she does
come third, at an official dinner party,
but she comes number one in the hearts
of her country people, and especially
the reporters who love Mrs. Shaw like
a mother.

There is a GOODNESS existing between
st. Paul girl and young man of her
acquaintance, which threatens to last
all summer. One of the beautiful
moonlight nights of last week she was
sitting upon her Veranda, with a very
young man, when another man arrived,
not quite so young, and whom she liked
very much better. After they had ex-
changed greetings and he,, too had
seated himself, she cast about in her
mind for a way to get rid of her young
friend. The conversation Of three is
sometimes apt to drag-especially in
the moonlight-and presently it turn
ed upon walking, which the girl knew
was quite a hobby of her youthful
friend. They talked about how far
one could walk in a given time. and
the very young man made startling
statements about his prowess in that
direction, until he finally reiterated
that he could do amazing things in the
walking line, offering to wager that he
could walk to Broadway and back in
an hour. This was taken UP with
great fervor by the other caller. the
only condition that he made being
that the young man should prove it at
once. Thoroughly unsuspecting, he
started out for Broadway-which was
two or three miles distant from where
the girl lived on the hilI-the two
promising to keep time for him. He
made it in an hour and q quarter, but
when he returned the two timekeepers
had disappeared. and it dawned on him
that 1t was more the desire FOR his alb
sence than a love of sport which had
actuated his hostess. Now there is

Fruit Growing
In The South.

Circulars Nos. /, , and 3, re
Gently issue by the Passenger
Department Of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad Company, related
to Southern Farm Lands, Miss
issippi Valley Cotton Lands and
Truck Farming in the South
Partly on account OF their brew
ity no doubt, but chiefly on ac-
county of the facts contained
therein, there has been general
demand for these circulars. In
this circular, which will be known
as No. 4, we desire to call atten'
ton to the variety of fruits that
can be grown successfully and
proftably along the line of the
Illinois central Railroad in the
states OF Kentucky, Tennessee.
Mississippi and Louisiana.
Question No. l. Can apples
be grown successfully in the
South?
AS rule, little attention is
paid to the growing of apples in
the South except for home con-
sum ption. There are, however,
localities on the line of the Sodth-
c1n Division of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad, where apples are
grown for shipment, and quite
successfully. We refer to the
Counties of Hardin, Larue and
Grayson, Kentucky, only few
miles out from Louisville. The
country in this locality is broken
and the soil is reddish clay,
which is especially adapted to
fruitgrowing. From Nine Grove
a small station in this territory
no less than 5000 barrels of ap-
piles are annually shipped to cas-
tern and northern markets; and
what will astonish the reader is
the TACT that lands in this locality
suita ole for apple growing are in
the market at from SO to $50 per
acre. West Tennessee is also
noted for its quantity and quality
of large red apples, that are
grown for shipment, and alway :
find ready sale.
In the vicinity of Milan, Jack
son, and Dyersburg, Tennessee,
may be found several large ap-
pie orchards, sho wing as healthy
trees as can be found in any OF
the so called apple states of the
north. The State OF Mississippi
raises for home consumption
several varieties of summer and
fall apples; and even from as far
south as Hammond, Louisiana,
a Mr.. RI. Moore, formerly a
resident of the fruit-growing
section of Kansas. writes that
he has grown good specimens of

ry patch at independence years
ago, when strawberry growing
was in its infancy in Louisiana
aud Judging from the shipments
from that station this season, In
dependence has reason to feel
proud, not only Of the quantity of
berries but of their quality which
is the highest.
Roseland, Louisiana, isanother
nor thern settlement whose peo.
pie are ct gagged in fruit growing
and gardening. The shipment
of berries from that point the
past season amounted to ,744, 400
pounds.
Hammond, Louisiana, is still
another northern colony, where
at one time more Strawberries
were grown than at any other
point on the line of the Illinois
central; but of late dairyirg and
shipping milk to New Orleans
has superseded strawberry
growing to a certain extent, but
conditions for growing berries
at this point are as favorable as
ever. and the following infor ma.
ton from Mr.. r. J. Moore will
be of interest to strawberry
growers generally. He says,
"strawberries will grow in any
soil about Hammond, either
sandy, heavy clay Or black loan;
that he has experimental with
all of them; that the sandy soil is
preferable on account Of the
earlier ripening of the berries.
Mr.. Moore thinks that to get
best results plants must have
plenty of water and fertilizer.
The various varieties he is par
tial to are Moore's Diamond and
Lady Thompson. The cost of
picking berries at Hammond is
one cent per pint. Fertilizes cost
about 50 90 per acre, and the
amount net realized peracre from
berries, ore year with another,
is from S10O to $500. Frequent.
ly strawberry plants are put out
in August, after crop ofcucum-
hers or some other vegetable has
been harvested. Mr.. Moore ad-
vises that this season he realizc d
SS99.07 from thu ee and one half
acres of berries.
Ponchatoula, Louisiana, has an
excellent soil for strawberry
growing, and her shipments
amounted to 2O5.O95 pounds this
season.
From the above it will be seen
that the entire country from
Durant, Mississippi, to Poncha.
