GRAY Horses in Maine.

After a disquiSition on the value of
gray horses, as compared with horses
of other colors, the Parkhurst writer
farmers religion or politics, make him
think he is rich and handsome, coax
his wife to run away with you, or
sell him a dog, but you will never
make him think a gray horse is not a
jewel. I read somewhere recently
that gray horses were not up to the
standard, or words to that effect. I
1 have always thought, and do now,
that gray or white horses were the
handsomest, toughest breeds on the
planet.
1.-The celebrated Arabian horses are
white or dapple gray. Famous gen.
erals in all wars have ridden white
or iron gray chargers. Circus men
select gray horses to draw the band
wagons in street parades. A great
packing company always selects Per
cheron horses, not so much for the
color, but because their feet will
stand travelling on the pavements bet
ter than any draft breed. 1t is said
that Joan of Arc rode a milk white
horse, and ST. John, the revelator,
saw white horse in heaven REV. g.:
p. Half of the draft horses in
other decade will see 80 per cent. of
them of that color."-Lewiston (Me.)

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York LIES Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com
pany announces that its new paid
business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
AS the new law allows no life COM
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, it would ap-
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit. The New
York Life gained such Roadway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
SO little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with it's management has been how to
keeS business down to the limit, rath-
err than how to reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
Life has evidently become pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments to policy
holders during the six months end
ing June 80 were $21, 66O,761. 1t is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death
claims were s11,1SO,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu
tiles, trust fund insta1lments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
$10.4S0,135. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, EN-.
braces a wide field, and covers many
contingencies 1t is money saved for
the aged, as well as money provided
for the families of those who die pre-
maturely.

You know what 1 mean we'll enough.
Mr., Glenarm never intended that
should sit down in his house and be
killed or robbed. He was the gentlest
being that ever lived, and I'm going to
fight for his memory and to protect his
property from the scoundrels who have
plotted against me. 1 hope you follow
me-
Yes, Mr.. Glenarm" He was re-
garding me attentively. His lips quav-
cred, perhaps from weakness, and he
seemed distressed and i'll.
Now l offer you your choice
either to stand Loyalty by me and my
grandfather's house or to join these
scoundrels Arthur Pickering has hired
to drive me out. I'm not going to bride
you,I don't offer you a cent for your
help, but 1 won't have a traitor in the
house. and if you don't like me or my
terms want you to go and go now"
He Strengthened quickly,-his eyes
lighted and the color crept into his
face. 1 had never before seen him ap-
pear so like a human being.
Mr.. Glenarm, you have been hard
on me; there have been times when
you have been most unjust
Unjust, unfair-my God, what do
you expect me TO take from yOui
Haven't 1 known that you were in
league with Pickering? I'm not as
dull as 1 look. and after your interview
with Pickering In the chapel porch you
can't convice me that you were faith
full to my interests at that time
He started and gazed at me wonder
ingly. 1 had had no intention of using
the chapel porch interview at this
time, but it leaped out of me pncon-
trollably.
Il suppose, sir" he began brokenly,
that can hardly persuade you that 1
meant no wrong on that occasion"
You certainly can not,-and it's
safer for you not to try. But I'm will
