down the stairs two or three at a time.
At the corner of the house he glanced
up apprehensiyely toward his window,

grass under his window, but the ribbon
was not there, nor cllnging to the vines

The next house was almost concealed
by the foliage Of apple trees. One Of
these dropped low branches over the

shade and screen. 1t was Harrington's

there now.
But he was in no mood for reading,
and the magazine lay with open pages
on his knees, while his gaze went
thoughtfully into the foliage above. A

Mutual Benenr Life Insurance. Co.

Amzi Dodd, then mathematician
and afterwards president Of the Mu-
tual Benefit Life ms. Co, in a report to
the board Of directors in 1877, quoted
the English statesman, Mr.. Gladstone,
as having said ia Parliament: You
know a great deal about the position
Of an assurance society when you get
three things First of all, its debt ;
secondly, its income from premiums
and, finally, its Accommodations Now
something more is demanded.
The public are insisrent upon know
ing, for one thing, how the money
which has been received from the pol
icyholders has been expended; what
proportion Of it has been returned to
the policyholders in claims paid and
cash dividends; what proportion has
been expended upon the cost of man
agement; and, finally, what proper
tion has been added TO the Accumulate
ed surplus which is its security for
the future.
Since 1854, a period Of sixty years,
the Mutual Benefit has received in
premiums from its policyholders over
S279, 900, 900, and has returned to the
policyholders in satisfaction of claims
and in payment Of dividends, over
S22S, O0O,0 900, leaving balance Of $40,-
100000 still III possession of the com
pany. Thus, in TO years, this com
pany has returned to the policyhold-
ers over eighty-two per cent. Of the
money which it has paid into it for In
surancc protection.
During 1906 the premiums received
amounted to s14, 634, 900. and the cost
Of management aggregated 81, All, 900.
The per cent. Of expense Of manage
ment to premiums was, therefore,
1910, This was considerably less than
the per cent. OF cost as figured by the
Iinsurance commissioner of Connecti-
cut for the year 1904. The Connecti-
cut commissioner gave the percentage
Of cost of management Of six COM
lpanies in his state in 1904 as 2O.27
and of twenty-five companies Of
other states as averaging % Al. The
gross assets OF the Mutual Benefit
based on market value has increased
from SS2, S57 ,529 In 1902 to 800, l27, lao
la 1905. The company has an excel
| lent record as regards cost of manage
ment.
