TIE PACIFIC MUTUAL
Life Insurance Cnmpany Of California
Organized 1868 On ''Old Line' Plan.

Read what one who is recognized au-
thority on the subject, has to say: "Of
late the magazines and daily papers
have had much to say by way of criti-
cism Of certain Life Insurance Compa-
MES, and especially with regard to the
Legal Organization of such Companies,
and Of the manner of their control.
These CRITICISMS do not apply to
The Pacific Mutual, but DEMON
STRATE the Truth of the Assertion
that ':for ;POLICY-HOLDERS The
Pacific Mutual has the BEST Legal
organization. It IS not controlled by
ONE or Two men, having no pecuniary
interest or responsibility save as policy
holders, or recipients Of salary; But it
is controlled by a BOARD of fifteen
Directors, not mere dummies, but Stock
holders in their own right, holding a
large amount Of the Company's stock,
and Policyholners as well. The Direc-
tors of the Company are men of high
Financial and Commercial standing, and
are by LAW made RESPONSIBLE for
the acts of the Officers of the CORPO-
RATION.
'The Company has capital stock Of
$500, 900 Fully paid up IN GOLD coin,
but while this Capital and the Stock
holders responsibility afford to Policy,
holders the GREATEST possible Secur-
ity, it Costs participating Policyholders
NOTHING, but every dollar paid into
the Company by them and the ACCU-
MUTATION thereon, is applied to
their BENEFIT. There is no Other
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY trans
acting business in America whose Pol
icyholders, by Legal enactment, are so
Safe-guaried as are the Policyholders
of The Pacific Mutual

His Only Magic.

The old story of the 1rishman who,
when he was asked how he played
upon the fiddle, answered, "Be main
strength, be jabber" is outdone by
the answer of a celebrated violinist
to a lady who asked lin the same
question.
"Oh, signor!" exclaimed the fash
ionable dressed lady, with gushing
air. BY what magic do you evoke
such divine strains from your violin:?'
Il have no magic, madam" ;" answer
ed the musician bluntly. L have
nothing but he bow and r!y'liand."

where, by destroying the French feet,
he ended Napoleon's hopes OF annex
ing Egypt.
Admiral Van Tromp, a doughty
Hollander, almost succeeded in wrest-
ing the naval supremacy from Bri-
tannia in 1862. He figured in a ia
nous series of conflicts called the
battles of Dover Straits. Although
first defeated by Admiral Blake, Sept.
28, he surprised the English fleet in
the Downs month later, his eighty
ships overwhelming the forty flying
the Union Jack. Then he sailed up
and down the channel unmolested,
with broom at the masthead of his
flagship to announce that he had
swept the English from the seas.
Blake Turns on Dutch.
Blake defeated him again, Feb.
1920, 1858, off Portsmouth, Destroy
ing eleven men-of-war and thirty
merchantmen; again off the North
into Calais roads, and on July 81 took
final revenge by crushing the fleets
of Holland and killing their admiral
At the battle of Campertown, south
of the Texel, Holland, Oct. II, 1897,
England again conquered the Dutch
on the sea, and ended their aspira-
tons for maritime power. Duncan
commanded the British and De Win
ter the Dutch, fifteen Of the 1atter's
ships being captured or destroye1.
But at La Hogue the Dutch were the
allies of the British and helped them
to defeat the French, thus averting a
descent upon the English coast, and
probable invasion of the island. The
battle took place off the northwestern
coast OF France, May 10, 1902, Russell
and Rookie being in command Of the
allies, and Tourville of the French,
who lost twenty-one ships, thirteen
of which were burned.
Deeds of Paul Jones.
In bright prominence in the thrill
ing chronicles of sea fighting are the
battles at which, the Stars and Stripes
have waved over triumphant men-of-
war. First Of the American naval
victories were those of John Paul
Jones, the revolutionary captain,
whose little Bonhomme Richard and
Pallas forced the British Scraps and
Countess of Scarborough to surren-
der after a desperate engagement,
although the Richard sank the next
day. Then there was the famous
duel between the frigate Constitution,
captured by Isaac Hull, and the
British Guerrierre, on Aug. 10, 1872,
in which the Briton was Inundated
in thirty minutes.
We have met the enemy and they
are ours" is the watchword which
Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry
made famous at the battle of Lake
Erie, Sept. 10, 1873. With nine YES
sells, carrying in all fifty four guns
and 400 men, he defeated and capt
ured the British fleet OF six vessels,
carrying sixty-three guns and 500
men, under R. H. Barclay, off Put
Inlay. His loss was ~ killed and
90 wounded; the enemy's II killed
and @ wounded.
Among modern battles, in which
the terrible fighting machines con-
structed by nineteenth century in
ventions have met in deadly conflict,
are the battles of the Yalu, Sept. II,
1894, in which the Japanese defeated
the Chinese fleet; the battle OF Manil-
la Bay, May I, 1898, at which Dewey
made history, and the battle OF San
tiago, July 3, 1898. when Cervera's
ships were smashed in record-5reak-
ing time.
