have already said that the hospl.
tai was not q money making institu-
ton, and in proof of that fact, need
only mention incidentally, that the net
result of the operations at the hospi-
tai during the last year, was deficit
of $2.5S9.4S. Heretofore these def,
cits have been met by the generous
contributions of the charitably dis
posed people of the city, although
these contributions were never sum
cient to entirely discharge these def
cits and as the result OF the annual
deficits covering number of years,
the hospital owes in round numbers
$4,000. which the board of trustees
should devise some plan to Iiquidate
as soon as this can be done. II this
Indebtedness were liquidated, then
the board of trustees would have from
the income arising from the endow-
to make necessary improvements at
the hospital, as well as to widen, and
extend its work. If no other plan can
be devised for the liquidation of this
Indebtedness, then the trustees
should, by the exercise of the strict
est economy, save from the income
arising from the endowment fund, at
of discharging the same. This will
be slow and tedious process. but
necessary one, unless this indebted
ness is otherwise paid, as it is high
ly important that the board of trus.
tees should never encroach upon the
principal of the endowment fund.
Ordinary business prudence re-
quires that this fund should be kept
intact. Besides this, there are sentl-
mental reasons for preserving the In
tegrity of this fund, as 1t was the
known and expressed desire of the
generous donor, that the principal
should remain an irreducible fund.

That Rutland Caucus.

The chairman of the Rutland City
Republican committee replied through
the Rutland Herald Tuesday to the
charges that the check list was stuffed,
locked up and unfair methods in the late
Republican caucuses held in that city.
He says: 1T is certainly conservative
statement to say that Mr.. Clements
friends have presented two thirds of the
names added since May /, 1902; and if
the slips We're examined, and fortunately
they have been preserved, at least as
many former democrats will be found
among those presented by Mr.. Clements
friends as by those on the other side.
Criticism of the course of the city COM
mittee with respect to adding names
comes with bad grace from the men who
requested the addition of the bulk of
them"
He further says: ''All that one mem
Der of the committee, at least, has re-
ceived for his trouble and work and
efforts to be fair, has been abuse because
the result of the caucus didn't happen to
please one man and his partisans. | am

Have "already enough property to
provide for your family in case of your
death ?" But l need not tell "you"
that PRESENT possession does not
necessarily mean PERMANENT
possession. Moreover, loss of prop
erty too often comes hand in hand
with. failing health and increasing age,
when life insurance can no longer be
obtained. In any event, however
great ones wealth may De, ready
money is needed in settling an estate
to save other property from sacrifice.
a life insurance policy is cash in bank.
"Not ready YETI" That's because
you are just now in robust health with
every promise OF long life. If you
knew that, at some time within a year
the exact date alone being uncer-
tain-you would be uninsurable, you
would be ready for policy Immediately,
and would want US to rush things
Well, there are just two things that you
do actually know;
a. You know, or think you do,
that you are insurable now.
b. You know, without a doubt, that
sooner or later you will be Uninsurable
how soon you cannot tell.
The LOGIC of it is, insure now
while you can, do not guess at the
future, or trust to chance, but act or
certainties.
"Income not sufficient" to supper
your family and pay life insurance
premiums also? How, then, would
the family live were that income to bt
cut off altogether by your death?
Don't want to leave your wife "a 10
of money so that she can get married
again and spend it on some othe
fellow" Ell? Well, now, don't thinl
she will be inclined to marry again
Poverty and want, however, may driv'
her to adopt even this undesirable
expedient.
If you don't wish that to happen
leave sufficient life insurance to provid
for her in comfort, and the matrimo
NAL lottery will not tempt her secon'
time.
