Ne Delivers . Lecture on Sticking
to-It.

Citizens of Jackson's Corners:-It cost
me the sum of 81. so to bill this town for
the entertainment awaiting you. but L
have feeling deep down in my breast
that after the usual collection has been
taken up I shall come out at least a
quarter ahead and be able to move on
to the next town.
The subject of my lecture, as you have
been informed, is Perseverance, or
Sticking-To-It." Give me liberty or
death, but also give me man who
won't let go after he gets hold. Truth,
ambition. virtue and honesty are good
building stones. but you must have the
mortar of perseverance to cement them
together.
Let us take the case of Caesar. He
began looking ahead when he was ten
years old AT fifteen his father wanted
to apprentice him to cobbler, and his
mother wanted to establish him in a
Troy laundry. He had made up his
mind to be a ruler of men and events,
but for five years every sort of dis
cOuragement was thrown in his way.
His father got him into baseball team,
hoping that would satisfy his ambition;
his uncle got him country school to
teach, thinking he would in time be-
come an Uncle Reub; his brother-in-law
tried to get him to go partners IN the
windmill business. and the family doc
tor said he was threatened with con-
sumption and should put in most Of his
time fishing.
Some young men would have given up
and started out as tin peddlers or join
ed a circus, but Caesar had the root in
his teeth and he never let go.
It was Stiol1ing-To-It that showed him
along until he could send a thousand
people to Jail by nod of his head. They
bored in on him at last and finished
him OFF. but that simply came from
jealousy. He had lived to elucidate my
contention that Sticking To-It beats
even beef trust.
Some of you here at Jackson's Cor
ners, which find consists of fourteen
houses, store and a blacksmith shop,
and is picturesQuely situated on three
sides of a horse pond. must have heard
of Christopher Columbus. At any rate,
1 will take it that you have and call
your attention to the fact that If he
born in Africa instead OF the United
States.
He first got it into his head that
there was an acre or two of land out
side of Spain. 1t took him ten years to
make the Spanish believe it, and to this
day they haven't got over their surprise
After once getting started he never let
up and he was finally furnished with
an outfit and told to sail away and be

bottom of the sea, but he didn't go
there. He headed straight for America.
sure that maple sugar and muskrat
skins awaited him here, and even when
his sailors threatened mutiny if he did
not turn back he would not yield.
No American ought to lie down at
night or rise up in the morning without
blessing the memory of the man who
made it possible for US to be born here

ROCKEFELLER GUARD SHOT
Assassin May Have Had Designs on
Standard Oil Magnate.

New York. Sept. 24.-It has lust been
learned by the officers who are search

spring by forest fires, and since that
time nearly all of the guards slept in

MAY REVOKE LICENSE.
Indiana State Life Insurance Com
pany Under the Ban.

c. H. Luling, superintendent Of insuI-
ance, has begun to revoke the licenses
of agents for life insurance companies,
whom he believes are obtaining business
by misrepresentation, and he says that
he will renew no licenses for SUCH
agents when they have been finally re-
voked.
Some time ago Superintendent LuiinS
warned the Indiana State Life Insur-
ance company that its agents must not
sell what is known as "commuted
premium" policy in Kansas, because II
is so intricate that few people under
stand it, and some AGENTS sell 1t by
Misrepresentation. Sveral agents have
continued selling the policy, however.
and few days ago they were notifleo
that their licenses would be revoked by
the department. Superintendent bulin5
has consented to give the company a
hearing, though. before the revocation
is made final.
There are some other companies whose
agents Mr.. Luling believes are obtaining
policies through Misrepresentation, ana
he has warned them to des1st.
