ORIGIN or LIFE INSURANCE.

don't have to have my life insur- led, " said the business man to the agent but do want to know how life in- surance originated. Can you tell me?"
 II can, the agent answered. 'It ori- ginated in 1706 in London. In that year there was formed the first life
 insurance company. It was called the
 Amicable Society For a Perpetual As-
 surance Office. It was mutual bene-: fit concern. Each member without re- ference to age, paid a fixed admission fee and fixed annual charge per share on from one to three shares, and at the end of the year a portion of the fund accumulated was divided among the heirs of those who had died in ac- cordance with the number of shares
 each dead person held. Out of this company, with it's crude and imperfect methods, life insurance as it exists to- day has grown" Philadelphia Record.
