You Can Start Right--

A few days ago a young man who
desired to insure his life, asked a
prominent business man Of Yorkville,
who carries a large amount Of insur-
ance on his own life, but none in the
Mutual Benefit, what he thought Of
the Mutual Benefit and its policies
and without an instant's delay receiv-
ed this reply: II think so much of the
company that l wish had every dol
lar Of my insurance with It," There
is not any doubt that the gentleman
meant exactly what he said, because
he is recognized as being a person
who says what he means and means
what he says. Six years ago when he
insured his life he expressed himself
as believing that all the old line COM
panies were about the same" but
since that time and especially during
the present year, he has become con-
vinced that there is certainly "Best
Company" and that the Mutual Ben
eft is 1T. You have the benefit Of this
gentleman's experience as we'll others,
therefore you have the opportunity Of
starting right. Other people are COM
Ing to my office to get information and
you will always be glad II you come
too. SAM M. GRlST,

The DueI In Frnnne-

I Three French doctors have recently
held a consultation having in view the
adoption Of a code of rules for the
treatment of duelists before going into
action. 1t is laid down as wise pre-
caution to take medicine overnight. and
on reaching the field the combatants
must first be creased all over, then
soaped all over and finally rubbed
down with alcohol and sprayed with a
solution Of sublimate, so that all the
personal germs which they may carry
about with them are rendered inca
pable Of multiplying their species.
When they have now put on suits Of
clothes just out of sterilizing ovens
they are ready TO take up their asep-
ticized weapons and straddle all over
the field in advance OF retreat till one
or the other receives a scratch deep
enough to pink his seconds cambric
when halt is called and
the whole party go Off to breakfast in
the friendliest manner. It seems hard
" necessary to diminish the danger of
the French duel, which is about the
safest pastime anybody can engage
in, but the method may have its good
points and advantages.-New York

agony almost escaped from her in

A cold, stately parsonage stood before

knowledge Of Geology Brings Wealth
to PIucky Girl

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec 2S.-The
knowledge of geology, combined with
pluck and enterprise, has brought
wealth to a Minnesota school teacher.
Time out Of mind, up to two years
ago, there has lain next to the village
Of Mentonne, in the central part of the
state, a marsh, containing a square
mile of land and so surrounded by ell
evated plains for several miles that
it would cost thousands of dollars to
drain it.
1t comedies almost exactly with the
section lines of a section of land, and
for thirty years or more belonged to
an estate. the heirs of which live in
Maine. They did not value it highly
enough to pay the taxes on it, and as
no one would buy it in for the delin-
quent taxes, the title never passed
from them, except to the extent Of the
states lien thereon.
Miss Gwendoline Murphy, a pretty
school teacher, who has made special
study Of geology, geography, mining
and allied sciences, astonished her
friends two years ago by using an in
heritance of $1,000 in the purchase of

none of the topnotchers except JEFF

he made a marvellous fight for man
of his age I was there to win and
planned my battle just as fought it.

deadly punch which has made Fit

down, as I know that the older man

did"
