YOUTHFUL

Yesterday morning a young boy
visited the premises of I. N. Walker,
Walnut street and Seventh avenue,
poured a quantity Of kerosene on the
barn in the real of the residence and
set fire to it. A boy named Anderson
witnessed the proceedings and gave
the alarm. and the fire was put out
without calling out the department.
A number of young boys who have
been in the habit of using the barn
for a rendezvos for cigarette smoking,
were warned recently to keep away,
and in a spirit Of revenge the boy
started the fire. Herald,

THE KNOCKER.

!, In every community will be found
the ''knocking'' element. They are
against every proposition for improve
ment that appeals to their pocket
books. This is not the class that pays
the most taxes. Many Of them pay
taxes. They are not the ones that
have the best interests of the city at
heart and are not the most desirable
citizens. Forum. .

PoCoMoKE CITY, Md, June, I2, 1908
MR.. HERBERT N. FELL. Manager,
The Mutual Life Ins. Co.of New York,
Wilmington Del.
Dear Sir-We are this day in receipt
of check for 4.6Sl.l2 in settlement of
three policies on the life of Mr.. @. @.
Lloyd, as follows:
No. 1928 for $4,000 u, ,746.22
No. 40, 1874 for $500. -. 4,455.9O
No. 72l, ,06l for 5000 ..... 5,479.OO
On the first two policies above mention.
ed Mr.. Lloyd used dividened additions
amounting to S247.60. which would
have made the total amount of these
two policies. had nothing been with
drawn, S9,449.72, which is. 81, ,449.72
more than guaranteed. What seems
most surprising in reference to these
two policies. is that at Mr.. Lloyd's ad.
vanced age of seventy years, The Mutual
Life should only charge $ie9S per
thousand on these policies.
Thanking you for the prompt settle
ment of this claim. which we understand
is the largest ever paid in Worcester
County, we beg to remain.
Yours very truly,
