Reminded Kansan of Home.

The recent tornadoes in Kansa:
led the Kansas City Journal to tel
OF the experience of Kansan cross
ing the Atlantic in rough weather
One morning he went out on deck
when a big gale, was blowing. No
body was in sight except the captain
go below there!' the captain
shouted.
The passenger looked around to see
whom he was talking to.
"You mean me?" he yelled bacl;
when he saw there was no one in
sight.
"Of course, I do; go below" and
the captain came alongside.
''Well, I guess not" protested the
Kansan. I'm up here to see how one
of your mountain-high waves and ter
rifle gales compare with what we
have in Kansas in the way of cy-
clones. This amt patch to what
I've seen out our way"
A big wave broke over the deck,
sweeping the Kansan aft. They pick
ed him up with broken leg, twisted
shoulder, spraiped wrist, and his
face looking as if he had been drag
ged backward through a briar patch.
When he came to and saw the cap
tain.
''By gravy, cap" he said feebly,
"that reminded me of home, only it
was dern sight wetter."

in case of death. It pays a weekly
sum to the insured in case he is hurt
and cannot work. It pays a weekly
sum to him if he is sick and compelled
to stay at home. It furnishes money
to pay the premiums on his policy while
he is hurt or sick and this insures his
policy to be paid to his family should
ne finally die Of accident or illness.
1t pays him his whole insurance in
ten equal installments should he from
accident or sickness be totally disabled
or lose his hands or his feet or his eye
sight.
It provides for him and his family
while he RECEIVERS from an accident;
it takes care Of him and his dear ones
while he lies tossing on sick bed; it
assures the payment Of the premium
on his policy so that he can feel secure
IN the payment of the face of his policy
should he finally fail to recover; it pro-
vides for his comfort, the education of
his children and preservation of his
nome Tor ten years after he is disabled,
and If ne dies before the ten years for
the payment of any balance that has
not been received in the years he has
had his annual payments.
1t cares for him and the family, in
temporary ills, in permanent afliction
and in death.
Where can you find such a seller as
that? Where can your acquaintance,
friends, neighbors and patrons find
such policy?
And remember there is no extra
charge for the permanent disability,
and the accident and health are at
tached for less than the regular cost.
Are you not overlooking your own
opportunities?

AS To Life Insurance.

1t might be we'll for those who are
thinking of taking out life insurance
policy to read the following extracts
from talk to the agents of the Pacific
Mutual Life:
Have you stopped to consider what a
gem you have in your hands in the
Ideal policy Of the Pacific?
Do you realize what it means to offer
man life, health and accident in one
policy and to add to that, payment of
the principal of the policy for perma-
nent disability?
Where can you find such policy?
Who has it for sale?
Who can compete with you for a
moment?
Did you ever think that one might
need insurance money more in life
than in death?
How many thousands lose their in
surance through inability to pay pre-
miums caused by accident or sickness?
How can you insure your insured
when wages stop and expenses in
crease?
How can one buy medicine and food
and pay doctor bills and insurance pre-
miums while sick with fever or laid up
with broken leg?
How can he provide for his family
and himself f~r long series of years
if he becomes totally and permanently
disabled by accident or through illness?
The ideal policy answers all >these
questions, solves all these problems.
It costs less money than life and ac-
cident combined, and life and health
combined, and it gives the full benefit
Of each and adds full payment during
life of the face of the policy for total
and permanent disability.
1t pays the face value to the family

A RIDE UP PIXIES PEAK.
1t Is Likely Almost Literally to Burst
Your Head Open.

Baltimore News.
To take a pleasure ride that almost
literally bursts your head open is a
novelty thrilling enough, it is to be
presumed, for the most eager thrill
seeker. But that is what often hap
pens to him who essays the dizzy
heights of Pixies Peak, 1900 feet
above sea level.
"I went up on the cog road from
Manitou," asid Baltimore man, lin
company with a party of tourists,
and before we reached the Hallway
House there were two who exhibited
such positive symptoms of distress
that at the first stop they had to
leave and take the next train down.
The rest of us continued. In seat
little in front of us was young
girl who had been growing gradually
! hysterical, and whom we had been
watching curiously to see what would
happen next. 1t happened. Suddenly
she threw up her hands and fell back
ward with blood gushing from her
mouth. ears, eyes and nose. The
conductor. who was evidently accus-
toned to such scenes, told her escort
to lay her flat on her back, as the
pressure was less there than with
the head high in sitting posture
Then, at the next station, she was ta-
ken off and sent back to N1anitou by
the wagon road. They didn't dare to
take her down by train, as the quick
change to the denser air might have
proved serious.
"Well, we kept going and reached
the top. I thought I'd take a short
run in the fine, rarified air, and die
took a dozen steps, when my hear
began to beat like trip hammer, ane
I concluded that running at tha
height was not for me. They told me
YOU couldn't boil eggs or beans III
there. I don't know, because / dldn'
try. We had our pictures taken sit
ting on rock up in that barren spot
where nothing will grow but the edel
weiss, and bought some souvenirs
Then we. came down, and SO far as
am concerned. they can level III

WILL PUT UP CANDIDATE.
Spartanburg Politician Says Dispen-
sary People Will Have Man to
Make Race for Governor.


The following interview appeared
in the Spartanburg Herald on Satur-
day. 1t will be interesting just at
this time t
Mark my prediction" said gen.
tielnan 10 the Herald reporter yes
te1day. the dispensary will put forth
strong candidate for governor, who
will interest the boys during the next
campaign
The man who was talking is one Of
the most astute and best informed
politicians in Spartanburg countJ,
and aside from his sound judgment
- and prophetic gift, is, an individual
who has been familiar with the work
ings of the dispersary system since
it was law.
why don't YOU make the race"
queried the reporter as he watched
the iorefinger OF the mans right hand
hastily trace manuscript.
That's not the question. To tell
you the truth, I haven't the time,
neither the inclination; but the men
who created the dspensary law and
gave it to the state, are not willing
for it to be prostituted and trans
formed into cess pool of corruption.
Nothing was further from their in
tention than the present management
of the dispensary throughout the
state. The law is all right; what it
needs is the proper enforcement by a
strong hand. and honest, incorrupt-
ible men at the head. This talk of
prohibition is worship Of fetish.
None know it better than the few
designing, turncoat politicians who
expect the honest people to be delud-
ed into voting out the dlspen-
sary for their own advancement. I
can understand ministers Of the gos-
,pel-they must preach ideals"
what about beer dispensarles"
was asked.
There is no law for their existence,
and It is an open violation of the dis
pensary law rules and regulations to
countenance them, but in my opinion,
they will be abolished by the courts.
The idea of man conducting busl-
ness of the kind and the state board
being as ignorant of what he is re-
eeiy;ng as salary as you Or is
repugnant to the letter and spirit of
the law.
IN my opinion what has caused the
unrest and dissatisfaction with the
dispensary system has not been the
law itself; but the way in which it has
been operated.
But" he continued, "the men who
framed the law and passed it are not
going TO allow so good a measure to
be killed without a determined fight,
and in my opinion, when the system
is cleansed and purged of the rotten
ness and hishonor now attached to
it the people OF South Carolina will
see that it is the best solution to one
OF the most intricate problems that
ever confronted a free government"
and who lid you say would run
for governor?" asked the reporter.
g! didn't say" was the reply, "but
he viii be a man who believes in the
dispsnsary law and its strict enforce
rncnt to the spirit and letter"

Christian Observer: Ono of the best ways to
bring contentment and gratitude into the soul is to
compare our lot with that of those who are in con-
ditons which harder and moro trying than ours.
One of the surest ways to boget discomfort and
complaining spirit is to place our condition and lot
in life in contrast With those who are, we sup
pose, much better OIL, and in possession of what we
have not. Many of those who have large worldly
goods are not happy, while not few of those who
are in straitened circumstances are happy. But to
think of those who are in poverty and sickness is
good recipe to produce gratitude.

in contact

and the weight out Of every burden.
