Our Joint Policy.

One very popular feature Of the Ameri>
can Buffaloes is the Joint Policy, in which a
man and wife, or any two persons, who
can be legally made each others benefici>
aries, take out policy for $1,000. When
one party dies. the money is paid to the
survivor. The rate OF assessment Of these
policies is the regular rate Of the older party
and one>half the rate Of the younger, both
being entitled to accident and disability
benefits.
For example, A man is 40 and his wife
IS, his rate is 81 and her rate is 9oc. On
a joint policy they would pay st.45, add tc
that amount SC per capita tax and i7e locs
dues and you have the total monthly pay
ment on their Joint policy.

In CeIla's Garden.

When Celia seeks her garden ground,
With smiling blue above her,
The little blossoms all around
Do lift their heads to love her;
And they with kisses cool and sweet
In fond embraces linger,
At rest upon her dainty feet.
Or on her snowy finger.
Now shall a thing of green and white.
That hath nor sense nor seeing,
Be held more dear in Celia's sight
Than some poor mortal being
Shall blue and red that fades apace,
In rainy breezes rocking.
Be counted worthy Celia's grace,
And be made her hooking?
We foolish buds that all arrow
With feigned smiles catole her,
I pray you now on me bestow
The charm hat shall control her.
Nv heart doth each storm survive.
Nor any frost can harden,
May flourish yet. and bloom, and thrive.

Emergency Fund.

The Buffaloes provide for the future by
creating an emergency fund at the begin
ming. Ten per cent Of all assessments after
the first II are set aside as an emergency
fund and all money that remains in the
mortuary and disability fund a, the end Of
each year after deducting all losses, is cred
tied to the emergency fund. This is to be
used whenever II becomes necessary to
levy more than II assessments in any one
year. Thus future contingencies are pro-
vided for and the members and those de-
pendent upon them are amply protected.

Well Known Church Worker and Citi-
zen Laid In His Tomb.

Alfred Osborn, greatly beloved
and efficient member of the Congrega-
tional church and respected citizen
of this community for twenty years,
was buried today in the beautiful Gem
etery on Prospect Hill. The funeral
services were held at the Congrega-
tional church at o'clock and were at
tended by a large cOncourse of friends.
Many flowers were sent by the
friends out of town and each society
in the church, and other friends, re-
memberCd that Mr.. Osborn was n
great lover of flowers and sent their
gifts. "The beauty of the world--its
flowers, the trees. had always been n
great help to me-" Mr.. Osborn said to
friend during his last Illness. His
home he dearly loved and made 1t a
bower of bloom the summer long. He
looked lovingly and with tender long
ing on the beauty of tree and flower
during the days of this refulgent sum-
mer, as though he would take their
lessons to the spirit world; for the
beauty of sky and field was a symbol
of that beauty of holiness and of right
eousness which abides forever.
1t was in the religious life that Mr..
Osborn found his chief JOY and his soul
its most complete expression. He was
essentially religious man, Clinging
to life with tenacious grip, dreading to
leave the loved wife and son, he was
submissive to the Fathers will and
died in triumphant faith. Alfred Os
born's chief delight was in the proc
lamation of the good tidings in Christ
Jesus. For twelve years he was SUI
pcrintendent of the Sunday school OF
the First congregational church, many
years an honored deacon of the church
and the church cannot estimate It's
great loss in his death.
Alfred Osborn was born at Cones
Vile, Schoharie county, New York, DC
tOher 80, 1886; married on October Il
1870, at Benton Harbor, Mich, Mar!
