across the high and narrow dixie lead
ing to the confederate line. On either
side of the dixie the water in the rice
fields was five feet deep.
The lieutenant reached the opposite
shore without any misgivings. The
confederate produced some tobacco, and
trade was made in no time. Then the
two fell into a pleasant conversation.
Suddenly Coryell saw signal futter
Of the confederate line.
What does that mean?" he asked,
sharply.
Il don't know" replied the confeder-
ate.
Just then an orderly dashed up ON
horseback, and, with dignified salute,
said to the confederate officer:
Lieutenant, the general orders you to
take the Yankee officer to headquar-
ters"
Coryell was dumfounded. Then he
looked at the confederate lieutenant,
and noted his honest eyes and his man
ly face.
Am I your prisoner" asked Coryell.
Il offered you my protection" he
said. Go to your lines. l will follow
you over the dixie, and if my body can
shield you from confederate lead you
shall reach your command in safety.
Goodbye and God bless you
The federal started on his return trip.
He was halfway across when the first
shot came. There was another and an
other, until whole brigade seemed to
be firing at him.
The fugitive walked rapidly onward
until he reached the federal lines and
vaulted over the breastwork. Then he
looked back and saw his protector
standing on the dixie. The confederate
waved his hand, turned about and
marched back to his own side. He had
kept his promise like true soldier

DRINKERS A BAD RISK.
idfe insurance Experts Agitate th<
Plan Of a New
Policy.

Actuaries of leading life insurance
COMPANIES declare that investigations
carried on in this country ana aoroao
show that drinking men are such naz'
Ardous risks that a new form polcy
should be adopted governing tnelI
case.
In SO years the deaths number d.
s91 drinkers, as against 1896 ABSTAIN.
ers of men between the ages OF ~ and
10. The conclusion of the actuarles
is that teetotalers, as q class, live 1rom
20 to so per cent. longer than moderate
drinkers as CLASS
There has been during the last year
an unusual amount of discussion by
leading physicians in England and
France on the value of alcohol as
drug and its dangers as beverage,
and there is now on record a voluml-
nous mass of testimony On the ques-
ton which Is not only Of the highest
scientific character, but also free from
the prejudice which stultif1es most OF
the prohibition literature. These con.
illusions may be summed up thus:
In certain bodily conditions and
when carefully administered alcohol is
a valuable drug, but at present 1t lie
used too freely, and consequently with
harmful results Its use as q daily
beverage in any form is pronounced to
be dangerous, physically and morally.
It was found that the death rate
even among moderate drinkers of the
first class Is much larger than a1.o1-
total abstainers. This finding was
reached from statistics covering 125,C0c
lives in period of 81 years. In insur-
ance phrase, however, it was found that
on-abstainers are good average lives
generally equal to the best accepted
standards" but total abstainers showed
marked superiority throughout the en-
tire working years of the life of both
sexes.
Thus from the age Of 40 to that OF
30, which is regarded by insurance
men as the prime of life," there were
6,246 deaths among total abstainers,
and 1O,861 among moderate drinkers,
an excess of "a per cent. in one decade
Between the ages of 20 and 80 the ex-
cess was II per cent, from 80 to 40 it
was 68 per cent, from so to go, AZ per-
cent, and from 60 to 20, 10 per cent.
During the three decades from 30 to
60 years of age, is the time when most
persons carry life insurance, and when
the profits are earned and accumulated.
1t is evident, therefore. say insurance
experts, that those in the total absti-
hence department, where losses are so
much smaller, stand better chance Of
profitable returns. In other words.
with what the total abstainer saves in
money by not drinking and gains in
insurance 1t is clear that he is far bet
ter of financially than his brother of
the moderate drinking class.
