AN OBJECT LESSON

To begin with, it was hot-hot even

The air was breathless when we came

her order to Georgiana, who waited

late with a frown on her lovely race,
we felt that things we're wrong in

most unusual about the weather we
called her the Princess, because OF
her daintiness, and certain graceful
hauteur and reserve that were as
natural to her as was his dignity TO
her grandfather, the judge.
She played a little with her break

rather abruptly.

LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
TRUST.
Responsibilities Of Officers and d.
rectors.


Evidently President Kingsley OF the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect to the responsible
ity and duty of directors Of corpora
tons. Speaking to the new board of
trustees, on the occasion of his cleo
ton to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that life insurance Is more
than private business, that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
of public service and with the respon-
sibilities that attach to going bust
ness which at the same time must be
administered as trust"
He also realizes that similar respon-
sibilities rest upon the officers of the
company. II understand" he says,
your anxiety in selecting the men
who are day by day to carry this bur.
den for you, who are to discharge this
trust in your behalf, who are to ad-
minister for the benefit of the people
involved the multitudinous and exact
ing details to which it is impossible
for you to give personal attention. My
long connection with the New York
Life--covering nearly twenty years
my service in about every branch Of
the company's working organization,
gives me, as l believe, profound APP
probation, not merely of the heavy
burden you have placed on my shout
ders, but Of the standards Of efficiency,
the standards of faith, the standards
of integrity, which must be main
tanned at all times by the man who
serves You and the policyholders in
this high Office
Best of all. perhaps, he feels that
words are cheap, and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short of
performance. my thanks, therefore,"
he continues, for an honor which out
ranks any distinction within the reach
of my ambition, cannot be expressed
in words; they must be read out of
the record I make day by day."
