He Comes to With the New Law--Paui
Morton on His Opportunity.


The new insurance law OF the State
Of New York has opened up q 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 profes-
a0rs, 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 vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all Of the
commission now goes to the agent.
Life insurance Is something thab
everyone needs and under the pres
ent system its sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton, president Of the Equita-
hIe Life Assurance Society. has taken
the lead in building up an agency Or
ganizati0n 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-
ergetlc, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is a 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.

"There, that is perfect" said little
Miss Timmons, as she took the pins
from her mouth and Strengthened up
to survey her work.
She was putting the last touches to
the drapery of party-dress for the
eldest Miss Thompson.
AS she turned, her eyes caught IN
the mirror the reflection of her own
plain, brown figure in striking con-
trast to that of the stately girl in
white beside her, and for just one min
ute there came into her heart sense
of loss and discomfort, but 1T was gone
in a moment, for Miss Timmons was
a very practical little woman, and be-
side this, she was quite plain looking,
and was almost 33, and she had never
had any use for party-dress in all her
busy life.
Miss THOMPSON looked with delight
at her own graceful reflection, for she
had all young girls pardonable pleas
ure in looking her best.
"It just suits you to perfection,
said her sister Alice, who was leaning
against the door, watching with ad-
miration the dressmaker's deft touches
and waiting her turn to be fitted. Il
only hope mine will be as pretty, and
I know there won't be two sWeeter
dresses there"
Miss Timmons looked gratified, for
she was an artist in her way, and had
an artists pleasure in success.
These dresses were, besides, to be
worn to the great event of the season,
ball TO be given by the Masons, and,
as is always the case in small town,
nothing else had been thought OF or
talked of for weeks among the young
people; and little Miss Timmons had
had her skill and ingenuity taxed to
the utmost to provide pleasing and
suitable costumes for all those who
had required her aid.

strange gentleman we met driving the
other day? Brother Jack says they
have sent him an invitation. He is a
Mr.. Newman, from Kansas City; has
a large stockyard there, and is here
buying fine horses; he isn't young,
but he is so good-looking, and Jack
says perfect gentleman"
1t was the night of the ball, and
Miss Timmons sat in her room read
ing, when a servant came to say that
a gentleman in the parlor was waiting
to speak with her.
She went down to find Jack Thomp-
son in his evening suit, looking his
happiest and best. He came forward
to meet her, saying eagerly: Nov,
Miss Timmons, want you to go over
to the hall; it's all trimmed up and
looks so pretty; 80 do the girls. l took
Jennie Griffen, you know, and going
over, she said you had made her dress
she looks lovely-and | know you
made Allies and MabeTs, and l
thought you might like to see them
altogether. You can go up in the gal
lery and will bring you home when
ever you want; won't you Gomez"
my dear boy, how kind you are;
will indeed be glad to go, only you
must give me five minutes to put on
my best frock"
She came back to the parlor in
short time in brown silk, with a
neat little brown bonnet tied under
her chin and pink flush on her
cheeks that made Jack wonder why
he had never before noticed that she
was really pretty.
1t is more than likely that not one
of the young girls there enjoyed that
evening more than did Miss Timmons.
Her life had held but little playtime,
for all of her younger years had been
full of care for an invalid father, and
now that she was alone, it had gotten
to be an accepted fact that she went
nowhere but to church; and yet, il
