Partly for the man who is likely 10 make
that statement and partly for the individual
who would provide himself against the infrmi-
ties of old age great insurance companies
have devised policies whereby the party in
sured may come into his endowment when It
is most needed.
The endowment policy is the one which Is
perhaps more popular among young men OF the
age than any which has yet been put upon the
market This allows the payment Of a yearly
premium into the company's Golfers and at the
end of 10, 20, 30, 40 or so years the entire
amount for which the policy holder was in
sured is turned over TO him her. The rate
of insurance varies with the length of time.
The longer the period between the payment OF
the first premium and the final endowment the
less the rate other things being equal.

why it is the best of personal and family

The Scramble for Wealth.

If there is a sad thing in the world,
II is the spectacle Of the men and
women who, in their mad scramble
for wealth, have crushed out of their
lives sentiment and the love Of all
that is beautiful and sublime. The
very process by which they seek to
win the means Of enjoyment kills the
faculties BY which they can enjoy.
When the average man wins his
wealth he finds himself without the
power CT enjoyment, for the enjoying
side of his nature is dead. He finds
10 his sorrow that the straining, striv'
trg life is also starving one.

New York department store, which, seeing q
boom in this article, "scooped" it's contempor-
aries by securing an early supply.
The merchants who secured the goods felt
rather skeptical themselves as 10 whether the
latest Partisan costume would hold the Gotham
women's attention. AS a consequence a New
York broker was instructed to secure an in
surance policy upon the sale of the gowns
in fact, to insure the popularity of the
tune in America.
To the surprise OF the broker, merchants and
New Workers. the proposition was turned down
Hat. Applications to other companies who
were wont to bet upon almost anything which
seemed good risk" also proved in vain and
the New York merchant went to work by in
serting advertisements in the newspapers
through which method he hoped to overcome
the refusal of insurance.
This was the first instance of its kind ever
recorded, experts declare, in which Lloyds
have turned down the proposition of issuing
policy. It probably was caused by the airy
persifage hurled by the male Americans who
gave the sheath gown the loud "haw-haw"
when it appeared.
No business in the history of the world has
spread out as the insurance game has. 1t en-
compasses everything. One insurance man,
who rates himself quite a wag, asked another
whether Lloyds would insure iceberg from
melting.
Why, yes" the latter answered. "if you'd
tow 1t down to Picadilly lane, where it could
be watched by Lloyds"
However the sort of insurance about which
the average American knows most is life in
surance and this industry alone has reached
such a stage of development that there is lit
tie UNEMPLOYED territory for to enter. There
life insurance agents everywhere. Statistics
say that for every hundred men of the big
cities there is one and sometimes two life in
surance agents. So the reader can easily dis
Germ that there is plenty of opportunity to pro
vide his or her family with financial protection
after death.

Sometimes Hard to Tell.

George Eliot says that the express
sion on a womans face when she is
sewing tells the story Of the womans
heart. If she is happy and contented.
or possibly slovenly and Indifferent.
she may smile and look the happi-
ness she either feels or is incapable
of feeling. If she has many things to
worry her and is possibly planning
how to make ten cents do dollars
worth Of good, or II she is naturally a
vixen. II will show in her face, so aft
er all IL Is not safe to predicate as to
what her sewing face reveals.

of course, the rate to be charged.
That is a rather broad statement
There is just exception in the list or
things insurable. That is the drectoire gown.
But there are so many insurable things
that Che French creation is hardly missed.
Here's few of the things on whose destruc-
ton or safety you may wager, at long odds,
with insurance companies:
Lives, homes births, deaths marriage, do
rnestc animals. livestock, barns, crops circuses,
The SUCCESS of business, vessels. any sort of
conveyance against injuries, beauty, suit OF
clothes, any wearing apparel jewery, false
hair teeth, health, athletic prowess, theatrical
- productions, ideas of all kinds, airships bank
accounts, stocks, bonds, success in the forma-
ton OF social organizations elections of all
linds, fluctuations of the stock market, race
courses, important messages, exploring expe-
ditons, mining enterprises, rain, snow. heat.
cold, eyesght, bodily strength, sanity, etc,
ETC., etc.
could keep UP that string of things in
surable all day long, for in Lloyds' great insur-
ance directory in England there dozens
Of gigantic ledgers which list the articles and
human beings upon which that company and
other concerns are wont to bet in relation TO
their destruction or safety.
And out of these insurance propositions grow
a dozen side lines to each plan For instance,
taking crops as example: You insure
your wheat corn, oats, barley, flax, beet sugar,
butter, eggs or cheese against destruction by
fire. by cyclones, by excessive heat, excessive
cold by robbers by accident. Tho same
with your life You may provide yourself with
insurance against injury trains; if you are
a sailor, against drowning; If you rail-
road fireman, against wrecks; if a miner,
against being entombed and so forth, until the
entire list has been exhausted.
But the sheath-directoire gown won't insure.
The why and wherefore Of this is because
insurance cliques believe that this article of
wear is destined to become decidedly unpop-
nIar IN the United States. In Paris this might
he given consideration but in America the
popuIace is given credit for large stock Of
feminine modesty.
Only recently this test was made in New
York Lloyds received an application for
$4,000 policy on consignment of sheath
gowns from Paris, which were bought by big

garding legal requirements Nearly every up
to-date American possesses insurance upon his
life. If 1t is not 81 900 it may be $500 or 800,
but among the richest citizens OF the country
there are seven men who carry $100O.000 or
more upon their lives Rodman Wanamaker OF
Philadelphia, merchant prince, is insured to
the amount of 100000. He is the most
heavily insured man In the world, for there is
not a person, even among the monarchs of
the old hemisphere who can lay claim to in.
surance equivalent to one-half that amount.
Two men in the United States carry $780,
600 upon their lives and there are four whose
death would net their families $1,000.000,
enough to support several generations of fam
lilies.
Among New Workers Financer James b.
Colgate carries more insurance than any OF
his neighbors in Gotham, his policies which
number nearly score, aggregating 81 500 900.
However, that sleepy old Quaker city
Philadelphia-shows the world a thing or two
in providing for its kin after the death of the
wage Garner. The millionaires and multi-mil-
lionarcs of that city in proportion to their
number have acquired far more life insurance
than those of any other city in America and
probably in the world.
The Insurance Press, an organ which has
devoted itself this year to the gathering of
a great volume of statistics the subject,
has presented a mass of information on the
subject. They all TEEN with the dollar sign
and show just how much money there is in
the Golfers of the country's rich. The stats.
tics touch only the high spots in a general re.
sumo, but they show the relations between
Americas great cities and give a line on the
general rainy-day provisions which are taken
by men of nationwide fame.
A synopsis of the report follows
"One hundred and eightyfour residents Of
Philadelphia are insured for $50, 900, 900, while
New York. with four times as many million.
