THE REoRGANiZED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,

The new Board of Trustees of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work Of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers of
the company, the Board has adhered
to the idea that a life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new president Is
Darwin p. Kingsley, a college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacities for a period Of
of life insurance, he began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president of the COM
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than a
quarter Of century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service, each an expert in his own de-
partment of work. VIM. E. Ingersoll,
who has for many years had charge
Of the company's great business in
Europe, is one of the second vice pres
idents, and will continue at the head
of the company's Office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no I'M
certain terms. The upheaval in life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at a heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had $2,000,000,000 insurance on
it's books when the life insurance in
vestigation began, and while the laws
of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$150,O00,000 a year (Which is about
one-half the New York Life formerly
did, the company's outstanding bust
ness still exceeds 100000, 1000.
Policyholders generally will be still
further treasured by this action of the
Board, as it places at the head of the
company to protect their interests men
OF thorough training and unexception.
able character.

DOCTORS FOOD TALK
Selection Of Food One Of the Most I'M

at her forehead brought into relief
two wonderful gray eyes that were

with a smile.

She turned with an air of authority

side, Sister Theresa. l have been

"Our young ladies treasure the illu-
sion that there are ghosts in your

disposed of the matter.
She folded her slim white hands
and spoke with simple directness.

If we are to be friends. l have feared
you might look upon us here as enc

you to have from him"

Now, l wish to speak to you abou
matter of some delicacy. 1t is, un

Yes; l understand"
Mr. Pickering tells me that he ha
no alternative in the matter; that tn
law requires him to collect this none
as a debt due the estate.
THAT is undoubtedly true, as ger
eral proposition. He told me in NeN
York that he had a claim against 20

Fourth Of July
Stories
BY Gen. William r. shafter.


Wholesome enthusiasm, whether
fired by the battery of words or gun
powder, is bound to create courage
and stir our brave men to greater
deeds of valor. / feel that we cannot
celebrate too much for the glorifica-
ton of the greatest day in the his
tory of our union. When / was a lit
tie boy looked forward to the Fourth
of July with all of the pleasurable an
ticipation of childhood, and saved my
pennies from Christmas time to Inde-
pendence day to buy the wherewithal
for the fitting and noisy celebration.
1 think, however, my most exciting
Fourth was in the Cuban campaign OF
1898. The morning after the Santiago
battle an orderly brought me pa
per containing original doggerel in
seven heroic verses. They were en-
titled: "Phat Gen. Shafter Whit At
ther," and the first stanza began:
Now, when Gen. Toral, a Spanish
dago,
Met Gen. Shafter at Santiago,

Liberty, John, is the only real thing
in this world for nation, but just
why the glorious cause of freedom
should be slapped in the face with an
imitation of the bombardment of Port
Arthur is something which l must
have misconstrued.
1--WE had very quiet time here at

cousin of yours, my young namesake,
Peter Grant, tied a giant firecracker
to the cats tail, and the cat went to
