How TO DRUM.-It was the custom
in the days Of our old navy for the
men to bring to the mast all the worn
out articles which were to be inspected,
handed in and exchanged for new. The
drummer had applied for so many
drum heads that the commodore felt
sure he was being imposed upon, and
one day set himself to watch while the
band was playing. AS one rattling
martial air followed another his anger
increased perceptibly, until he burst
forth in uncomfortable rage:
There now, confound you! see
why you use so many drum heads!
Don't drum in the middle of it all the
time. Drum all over that drum. | tell
you,'-Harper's Monthly.

WHAT IS LIFE INSURANCE?

1t is plan by which one can secure
to their family, a part Of the value Of
ones life. 1t protects a family from
want, when their supporter Is taken
from them. In Life Insurance, it Is
not the life itself that Is insured, but
1t is the value of its production. A
life which has no producing value Is
uninsurable as much so as an unten-
antable building. A life Insurance
Policy is q Life Preserver.
