At the October meeting OF the In.

p. Stevens, lecturer on insurance in
the University Of New York, gave an
interesting review Of the earliest
forms of insurance. Life insurance
lays claim to perhaps greater an
tiquity than marine insurance.

LOVES THE MOTHER WEST

Content as they've still to the gold god
knelt
And maddened his wM TO do
For the soul needs depth and the soul
needs height
And it needs the spaces of God
And ii smaller grows when it ceaseless
goes
Where Mammon doth hold the rod,
But here we are taught by our Mother
West
That the soul is all and vain is the rest
Unto him who was born where the world
is great
The duty Is clear and stern
To stand as the heir to gods estate
Nor e'er to the petty turn.
He dare not walk with the Shoddy crowd
Whose lives are hollow pretense
Whose clamor. See met fOrayer is loud,
Whom glitter of gold contents;
straight and tall"
And the wide plains whisper. BE
hroad!'
And the ocean mutters BE not the small
Whom only the small applaud"
And he who doth turn from these regal
things
To the folly and sham of life
Shall never stand with the unerowned
kings
Who capture the prize Of strife.
Ay, thanklcss heir is he at BEST
To our mother Of mothers, the great,
broad West.

The Wageworker contains two new
advertisements this week, that of the
the Lincoln Wall Paper and Paint Co.
and the Lyric theatre. The Lincoln
Wall Paper and Paint Co. runs a

and the added fact that the company
does superior work, it is deserving OF
the patronage of unionists.
The Lyric theatre is fair concern.

poses square with unionism. The Lyric
is a clean resort that is deserving OF
patronage from all classes.
