delusion that well financed idleness ls

we get q two weeks vacation, NO

begin to feel weary Of 1t at the end OF
the first week and are impatient to get
back into the harness before our time

others. but there are mighty few who

THE REoReANlzEp NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The new Board OF Trustees Of the
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 OF
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 Is
Darwin P. Kingsley, college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been In the company's service In
variety of capacities for a 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 connec.

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 company's 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 un
| 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 or
matters which were not very clear t.
them, have been disposed to give W
their contracts at heavy sacrifice
This has not been true in the New Yorl
Life to any great extent. The com

New Jersey has many places ioeai

such place developed rapidly to a GER
tain point and there 1t stood, halted
by the mosquitoes that bred In the
surrounding marsh lands. Country
club, golf, tennis and other attrac-
lions ceased to attract when attention
was necessarily focused on the biting
or singing pests that intruded every
where. and the tendency was to sell
ont. But the owners we're not ready
to quit without fight, and an i'm
provement society was formed which
consulted with my office and followed
my advice. In one year the bulk OF
the breeding area was drained, mos
uuitoes have since been absent al
most entirely; one gentleman, not
large owner, either, told me his prop
erty had increased $4,000 in value,
and new settlers began to come In.

areas of the olden day was used as
a camping gorund, and 100 new resi-
dences are planned for next year
