The Lecture Course.

Mr.. Chas. w. Seymour's Historical
Lecture. Caesar" at, the High
School rooms last Thursday evening
was one of the rarest literary treats
ever listened to by Watertown audi
ence. No mere word picture, save
the lecture itself, can give any ade-
quate idea OF its real merits. Grand
IN conception, elegant In expression,
coupled with grace of gesture and
an attractive personality rarely heard
or seen, the lecture and the lecturer
richly merited the unstinteds praise
freely bestowed upon each. 10 the
old collegian, the lecture relighted his
. udcni's lamp, and again he was pos.
ing over his Commentaries" consult
ing his grammar and his dictionary
in his bewildered efforts to translate
and construe some difficult passage In
the great warriors Memoirs" and in
hasty retrospect followed In due course
his recollections of Cicero's- Orations,
Livy, Tacitus, Virgil and Horace. In
the young student 1t awakened his
ambition to know something of the in
tricate construction of the beautiful
language in which Caesar wrote, Cice-
ro spake and Virgil sang. To the cas-
ual listener, the lecture opened mp
vast storehouse of antiquity, and he
was brought face to face with the great
men and strange customs of those far
off times. Charmed alike by the ele-
gance of diction, the grace of delivery
and the winning personality of the
lecturer, 1t was an evening not soon to
be forgotten.
The numbers in the course yet to
follow are:
Charlemange. November IL.
Lorenzo di Medici, November 10.
Catharine II of Russia, Dec. 5.
Marie Antoinette, Dec. 10,
Judging from the initial number.
Caesar" already presented, it is rea-
sonable to anticipate that each of the
succeeding numbers will be q literary
gem, and distinct loss to those who
fail to attend. The citizens Of Water
town should attend these lectures as
marked events in lifetime. Remen.
ber, these lectures are given for the
benefit of the Free Public Library, an
institution that was readily adopted
and is generally patronized by ali
classes. You pay money to hear these
lectures and it is returned to you many
fold in desirable additions to your Pub

The National Life.

The Standard. the leading insurance
newspaper of the country, recognizes in
its issue of Jan. 16 the steadily growing
strength of the National Life Insurance
company saying: STEADY, healthy
growth best describes the career of that
pride of the Green Mountain state, the
National Life Insurance company of
Montpelier. With a premium income
about 100000 in excess of 1901, gain in
assets of almost 100000, a gain in in
surance in force of about $4,000 900, the
National can look back upon the year
just closed as a banner year, and it's SD
statement as a record breaker. In the
past decade the National has made a
gain of 140 per cent. in income, 1S9 per
cent, in assets, and 1O2 per cent. in in
surance in force. During 1902 the COM
pany increased its payments to policy
holders $246f23 and added $354551 to it's
surplus. The National wrote insurance
to the amount of 81, 094, 122 last year,
and is today one of the ablest among the
companies in the business. Its progress
in 1902 Under President DeBoer and his
able crops of officers and directors excels
all previous records made by the Nation
al in any one year"
Attention is called to the detailed state
ment of the National Life which appears
in this paper.
