'The great bulk Of freight shipped by
the War Department to the Philippines
goes upon the transports owned by the
United States; the remainder goes chiefly
in foreign bottoms, because the owners OF
foreign vessels uniformly underbid the
owners OF American vessels. Every oppor-
tunity has been given to American yes
sells to compete, and the standing instrnc.
tons OF the Department are to prefer
American vessels whenever there is such
substantial equality between the bids To
make 1t lawful to do So"
II have no doubt whatever of the Wis
dom Of the provision which shall make
1t possible to do this business through the
employment Of American ships. I think.
however, that there is great danger that
the passage Of this bill in it's present form
would involve the Government in serious
difficulty and unwarranted expense. The
number Of American vessels available for
shipment from the Atlantic Coast to the
Philippines Is SO small that rigid re-
quirenent that shipments should be made
In American vessels only would put the
Government entirely at the mercy of .
very few individuals who could charge
what they wished. The only alternative
to the possible payment OF exorbitani
prices for shipments from New York
would be the sending OF freight by rail ID
the Pacific Coast and thence by ship tc

ana then, again, you will find those who
deiiantly declare that they have made q
chimney OF their heads and tanks of their
sfomachs from youth up, and that it is this
mode OF living that has added years to
their allotted time. Senator Cockrell. of
Missouri, has theory that apples at noon
are mighty good eating, and whether he
carries his theory into their adding to
longevity is not necessary for the purposes
OF this story, which is strictly true.
Senator Cockrelrs lunch every day OF
his life is an apple-or two apples if one
isn't big enOugh-and there is an idea
abroad that the big-red-cheeked beauties,
winch he eats with such evident relish,
come from his Missouri farm, because he
nearly always brings his apples from home
and leaves them in his Committee room.
Ii he does not want to leave the Senate
Chamber he sends for the apples and eats
them there. The other day be called for
a page, and new kid answered his call.
"Take this note to the clerk in my
Committee room," he ordered the page,
tho Senior SENATOR from Missouri being
pretty hungry and the page not having
showed up, called the Assistant Sergeant
alarms to locate the youth, who was
soon standing before the Senator from
Missouri. f4sJ

"Did you deliver my note?' asked SEN
at0r COckreii. OK 80
Indeed did, sir and your clerk gave
me two apples, aud Lbt 'em. They were
awful good. Thank You, sir"
- hshns
Senator Cockreli had lost his lunch, but
he declared the laugh was nearly as
healthy, for he did laugh heartily. His
note to the clerk had simply said to give
| the boy two apples. .rhe clerk did SO with
out explanations, aud the poor little page
thought the applesw his Tip" for doing

Speaker Cannon every day evidences

The remainder of the story is told by
the French ambassador, nj. Jusserand. i'm
his letter to the Secretary of State, in
which he informs him that France by pub
lie subscriptions has completed the work
on the bust, and is in part as follows:
"The original model Of this work, which
was greatly admired at the time, was
fortunately preserved at the David Mu-
seum at Anglers, the birthplace OF the
artist. Count de Rschambeau, who, with
the assistance OF his friends, took the in

A SACRED TRUST.

The responsibility resting upon
the officers and managers Of Life In
surance Company is not different from
that which Is assumed by the trustees
of individual estates. 1t has always
been the aim Of the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Company Of Newark,
n. j., to conduct its business in ac-
cordance with this conception Of the
sacred character of the work ana the
solemn responsibility imposed thereby.
It best manifests its fidelity in keeping
steadily before it as the true object
i've, the maintenance of the highest Sc
curity, so that a policy maturing thir-
ty or forty years hence will be as GER
tain of payment as one falling due
tomorrow; and to endeavor by all
proper means to tighten the burden or
insurance, by making the cost as
small as is consistent with security.
Evidence Of the skilful and faithful
management of the Mutual Benefit Is
found in it's exceedingly low expense
rate, and remarkably favorable NOR
tality rate extending over the whole
period Of it's eXistence-nearly sixty
years.
1t Is all right to listen to the other
fellows stories and examine their con.
tracts: but you will be doing yourself
an injustice If you sign an application
or accept and pay for their policies
before you know about the Mutual
Benefit and what it can and VIII
GUARANTEE you.
