Here is the story of an investment that returned s12.5S4SO in dividends:
 Washington, D. C., March l, 19of. Mr. C. F. Troupe, Special Represents
 tive, The Mutual Life Insurance
 Company of New York.
 My Dear Sir: Ten years ago you pre. vailed upon me to apply Tor etSnuy t;nny ous installment insurance, at when time you informed me I would propa bly receive, at the end or ten years, dividend of between twelve ana Init teen thousand dollars: consequently It may be of interest for you to Know that the company has sent me check for twelve thousand five hundred ana eiphty-four dollars and eighty cents (s12.5S4S0), which causes me to eX- press my appreciation of this large dividend which l am sure Is more than I would have received from any other company.
 In this connection I desire to state that 1t has been my pleasure to enjoy an intimate acquaintance with the executive officers of The Mutual Life Insurance Company for half century during which time have been brought into contact with the leading men of the world. Therefore. I am in posi- tion to state that the gentlemen who have managed and are now directing the affairs of The Mutual Life 1nsur- ance Company of New York are equaled by few and surpassed by none engaged in great undertakings. I trust that the dividends on the additional $50,0O0 you wrote on my life may be fully as large.
 have no objection to the publication of this letter, if you so desire. Yours truly,

The oldest life insurance policy in the United States, save one. was pre- sented to and paid by The Mutual Life. Insurance Company of this city yes terday. It was that of Charles Greene Rockood, the nonagenarain ex-Presi- dent of the National Newark Banking Company, who died at Caldwell, N. J.. on July IT. The policy No. PIT, was taken out July 13. 1S43. six months after the Mutual opened its doors.
 When MT. Redwood applied for it he was a turpentine distiller. The statement of his family physician was accepted by the company in lieu of a medical examination The policy's face value was $4o00, but if the holder had allowed all his additions to accu- mulate, its actual value would have been $13,15S. The check forwarded yesterday to Charles G. Redwood Jr., Mir Rockwoods son, Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University, was for $9,975.
 The oldest policy in the United States Is that of William E. shapard. Of Englewood. N. J. It was issued by The Mutual on February '. 1S4S, and Is No. II on the Company's books.
