corning them the basis for a series of
articles. Washington was aghast at
such effrontery. The newspaper was
boycotted and its editor discharged,
but some of the honest officials in
Washington took the matter to the
president, choosing Joseph L. Bristow,
fourth assistant postmaster-general, to
do the work. Every possible influence
was brought to bear on the president
to stop the investigation, but with
angry adherence for the alleged
thieves he went after them as terrier
goes after rat, and today the truth is
out and this branch of the public SER
vice immeasurably cleansed. Many
convictions, designations, flights and
confessions have followed the investiga-
tions, and dishonesty in the public SER
vice is at discount.
1t makes wholesome as we'll as inter-
esting reading, this story of public
duty fearlessly performed, and its les
sons must have far reaching effect.

There is a lady in Montgomery, in mid Cle life. who, since young ladyhood, has been an independent breadwinner. Just 70 years ago she took a policy for $1,00o in the New York Life Many times 1t was not easy to pay her premium. but she has kept the policy up, and we are this week in receipt of a letter from the company enclosing to her e check for e1,530 in settlement of her policy. She is still earning a good living. but 1t must make her feel right snug to have this neat sum coming to her. There is no possible way in which her annual deposit would have yielded her such a fine return. Why should you not do as well for yourself as she has done?
 There is no way for you to lose. Even should the time come when 1t would be impossible to keep up the payment of your premium; un- . der the new policy of the New York Life, you could either withdraw in cash the entire cash value, take a paid-up policy. or borrow from the company enough to tide you over your dif- faculties. Drop a card and we will tell you what 1t would do.
