Tho Old Man.

Far down the village street he comes,
with steps uncertain halt and
His hand grasps tremblingly a staff;
his form is spare and bending
low;
His vision, dinlmed to distant views,
. seeks eagerly a friendly glance,
In wistful hope Of word or smile that
his lone heart may cheer by
: chance.
And oft he stops, in pensive mood. tc
note the changes time has
wrought,
And ponder progress busy trend: he
seems alone in doing naught.
He is so old, so wan, so frail; his very
breath demands a. toll
From such scant time as fate may YET
allow to him of natures dole.
For him the future holds no part, an6
half forgotten is the past;
The present hour alone is his-an6
that alas! is fading fast.
All, you who cross his feeble path, be
prodigal of greetings kind;
And We who have him in your care, bt
to his failings gently blind!
AS he is now, so you may be, if mum.
bered thus shall DO your days;
And you, like him, will yearning seel
the glow Of loves sweet, tender
rays.
AS feeble then as he. is now, you'll
reach to grasp the guiding
hand;
AS lonely, palsied, sad and drear
you'll welcome hearts that un,
derstand.
Mrs. George H. Stratner.

The REoRGANIZED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The new Board of Trustees of tho
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 O.
the company. the Board has adhered
to the idea that life insurance com
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new president III
Darwin P. Kingsley, college bred
man of good New England stock. who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacities for period Of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
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
quarter Of a century,-indeed has
never had any other business connea
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 companys 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 a 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 sacrl1ce.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had s2,OOO.OOO.OOO insurance on
its 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
$3.50, 100000 a year (which is about
onehalf the New York Life formerly
did, the company's outstanding BUSH
ness still exceeds $4,000, 900, 000
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.
