"Know, then, ignorance, that she
was one OF the women who crossed
the plains in forty-eight," said Jim, as
Teresa settled back in her chair, still
wrapped in the coat. "She was a
beauty, and had been a rich girl-a
Tremayne, of Baltimore. However,
the poor little thing married against

Casillon, you know-a dandy fellow,
but without a picayune. And, in the
course Of year or two, they started
for the land O. gold. Her baby was
three months old. Well, just about
everything that could happen happen

separated-their oxen died-Indians
robbed them-they lost their way!
Finally, when their half Of the party
consisted Of five men, three women,
and the baby, the Indians attacked,
and one Of the men, an old one, was
horribly hurt. Water had given out
or nearly. 1t seems that Aunt Sara
was the heart Of the whole party
always hopeful, always brave-sing-
ing when she hadn't the courage to
falkland so on. Would you believe
that she persuaded them, in this crisis,
to leave her to take care Of the old
man while they pushed on for water?"
"Well, but they didntv' whispered
Teresa.
"Oh, but they did And there she
was, two nights and a day, with
baby and a sick old man, in the des-

so short-handed-but they say he
hardly spoke until they got back to
her."
'And she was dead" said Teresa,
with calm certainty.
ooh, heavens, no." said Ju, cheer
fully. "She lived through worse than
that. She was quite calm when they
came back. The old man was asleep.
She didn't stir until Uncle Dan was
close to her, and then she said: Don't
wake them unless you have water
and the next instant Uncle Dan, who
was crying like baby, put the can

say that to the end of her life she

She fought tears for a moment,

puzzled, stared at her. Then she was
suddenly on her knees, with her wet

WHEN MOTHER SITS Down BY THE FIRE.

Oh the o'clock chime brings the contest time
That is found in the whole Of the day,
When Larry and Gus and the others of US,
Come in from study and play;
When we push the big chair to the hearth there
And pile the wood higher and higher
And we make her space in the very best place
And mother sits down by the fire.
There's great deal to say at the close of the day,
And so much to talk over with mother;
There's a comical sight Of horrible plight
Or ball game, something other.
And she'll laugh with Larry and sigh with Harry,
And smile to hearts desire
At triumph a task we'll done
When sitting down there by the fire.
Then little she'll for the clothes that tear,
Or the havoc make her arder;
For the toll and strife of every day life
She will love little bit harder
Then lady is she and her knights we would be
And her trust doughty deeds will inspire;
For we long then anew to be generous and true
When mother sits down by the fire.

When.

They're making fun of father,
No work he does, they say,
They laugh when father carves the duck,
In an unfeeling way.
They view his every action
With grievous discomfort,
And never say a word about
When father pays the rent.
When father tells story
They sit around and jeer.
When father does most anything
The family seems to sheer.
He's just supposed to plod along
And save up every cent.
Nobody seems to notice him
When father pays the rent.

NOtOne Sane Man

Out of 1000 actually believes
that 1t is possible to buy $l.OO in
value for less than $1.00 when he
starts out to buy anything of recog-
niZed value except life insurance.
Most sane men know that unless they
keep their eyes open they are liable
to pay $1.25 for 100 in value. There
is no mystery about the apparent
lack of business sense in connection
with the purchase of life insurance,
and II is accounted for on the ground
that 80 out of every 100 buy life in
surance from an agent instead of from
a company, taking the agents word
for the claim that the company he
may be representing is the one that
holds the record for everything calcu-
lated to be to the interest of the in
sured, when ii may be fact that that
same agent has represented as many
as a half dozen different companies in
as many years, and made the same
claim for each in turn. and has chang-
ed companies from time to time be-
cause he knows from experience that
people buy insurance from the agent
instead of because of any actually
known merit of his company, and be-
lieves that it is to his present financial
interest to work for the company that
paws him the largest commission.
We have been trying to represent the
Mutual Benefit for nearly eight years,
notwithstanding the fact that it pays
its agents a smaller commission than
any company doing business in the
State. We depend entirely on the
company's policy contracts and its
sixty-two years record for honorable
dealing with all members. for busi-
ness. We stick to it because we
know we can prove it is the best poll
cy-holder's company in business, and
that every man we insure is certain
to be satisfied. and will be certain to
help spread the good work.
