He forged to the front as a hnancier and a public-spirited citizen AS years passed he prospered. Early and late he was ever looking after his vast business interests. There were times that he longed to be again in the small home town. Often in his youth he dreamed of some day being chairman of the village board. Only once since parting from the old home had he returned, and then to find the town just the same only little more delapldated. and In the weedOVer- grown kirkyard the neglected graves Of his good parents

THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes in With the New Law-paul
 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 relating and extrayagant 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 profes- sors, lawyers, school teachers of both sexes, and others, who find that being a life insurance agent under the new system offers greater reward than their previous vacations. The law has reduced commissions but all of the commission now goes to the agent. Life insurance Is something that everyone needs and under the pres ent system its sale is being conducted with becoming dignity and prorriety.
 Paul Morton. president of the Equita- ble Life Assurance Society. has taken the lead in building up an agency or ganization that is in keeping with the demands of public sentiment. and the standard he has set for his company. He says: We want new agents, both men and women, but none except en- ergetic, able and truthful people need apply. For such there is a splendid opportunity"
 Mir. 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.

Each farmer surely spent s5O month somewhere for supplies. This meant total of so 1000 a month s560,0 year. Then the few hun dred people in the town would add other thousands to the volume of busi- ness. Why not build a great store and supply the wants of the people? He would spend some money and build up the town. He bought half block on which three of the stores stood. He erected large brick building. and soon he had installed ir it great stocks Of goods. Other merchants in the town shook their heads. The Public. Spirited Man was certainly crazy. Farmers when they came to town looked up the big building with won der. The Weekly Mirror had to send away for type to set up the page ad- vertisement for the new store. and to get a new press for the printing of cir. eulars and posters.
 One month after the opening of the store the graveyard quictness of the town had passed away. Streets were lined with the teams and the wagons or the farmers. X new elevator for grain had been started The railroad placed new switch in the yard to ac- commodate the increased business. The son of the old town blacksmith reopened the old shop closed for years because of no trade New life was rapidly being injected into the place.

He was elected In six months the streets were paved, an electric lighting plant was in operation. along with water works. The Great Store. keeper had a way of doing things, and he did them. News of the activity of the town reached nearby villages, and the people came to see the Big Store and to buy goods.
