Chicago, Nov. 2S.--Buttermilk diet arians were appalled, to-day to learn than the lumpy liquid which for years has been served in Chicago under the general classification of "buttennilk' is nothing more nor less than mix ture of acid and skim milk.

This is far beyond the average age, so the company decided to look him up By writing to the postmaster at West Swansea, the com pany learned that Reed had died in 1885, but up to the present time noth- ing had been learned of his heirs It is known that he was furniture dea Q CT in this, city when ne took out the policy, but where he went when he left here, not long after 1867, the com Dany has been unableto learn, and 1t is not even certain where he died.

 A Tragedy.
 Among the policies that have been paid recently after q lapse of years is one taken out In 1876 by Samuel w. Ball. farmer of Greenfield, Mass. Aft CT eight payments. Ball ceased sending his premiums, and the policy was con- verted to a paid up policy for S405, Jan uary 12, 1884 Then Ball was lost sight of. This policy was Included among those investigated recently. and it was discovered that Ball uleu in Deerfeld, about four years ago, after having been taken care of by the town for some | time His wife died only five weeks ago, penniless. What Q godsend that { $405 would have been to her during her last days can only Oe imagined. It | is a small tragedy that every business ] knows. The company does, not want 1 the money. It is sincerely destrous of paying up policies as soon as they be- ! come due, because the accumulation is ! all toe fast, without holding over poli- cies that are ready for redemption 1 Even in the present time, when money I is nonc too plentiful, the company seeks 1 to ray up whatever is due on these old policies, even though it increases the 1 recorded death rate, and only in mor- al way is satisfactory to the company There are hundreds even thousands of policies, aggregate, in the life insur- ance companies of this country, repre- f senting hundreds of thousands of dol lars. It is the romantic side of the business, but there is a constant effort
