THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes In With the New Law-PauI
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law of the State
OF New York has opened up a promis-
Ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale Of
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies, each OF
which practically bears the hall mark
of the State of New York, and this new
order OF things has established the
sale OF life insurance on correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
extravagant allowances to agents has
driven out Of the business the old
type OF insurance agent, who in many
cases virtually bought business, with
large rebates, instead of selling it.
His place is being taken by profess
sors, lawyers, school teachers of both
sexes, and others, who find that being
life Insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all of the
SO~N~--NASSA~A1
Life insurance is something that
everyone needs and under the pres
ent system its sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton, president of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency or
gan:zation that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company.
He says I'VE want new agents, both
men and women, but none except en-.
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is splendid
opportunity"
Mr.. Morton's policy of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force of the Society is meeting with
success in all parts of the country.

KNITTING MACHINE ROMANCE.
invented That Tilted Lover Might
Have His Revenge.

Romance may certainly figure in
many OF the knitted waistcoats and
gorgeous stockings worn by our I'M
dergraduates of to-day, but these have
not so romantic an origin as the first
OF these articles produced in this
country.
For tradition has it that William
Lee, who in the sixteenth century in
vented the knitting frame on which
both stockings and waistcoats were
produced mechanically, was driven to
this piece of ingenuity by the cruel
i1outing of the lady he loved, who hap
pened to be stocking knitter.
Enraged at his failure to make an
Impression on her heart, he sought to
make 1t on her purse by killing her
means OF livelihood; and one is glad
to read that all stocking makers COM
b1ned to Illustrate his cruel purpose,
with the result that he fed with his
invention to France, where he finally
died OF broken heart whether for
love Of his lady or of his spoiled In
vention, tradition does not say.-Lon-
