For vain repentance flow; this stone
Emblem Of innocence is known.

In springs sweet flowery month of May,
And wears an Emerald all her life,
Shall be loved and happy wife.
JUNE.
Who comes with summer to this earth.
And owes 10 June her day OF birth,
With ring Of Agate on her hand,
Can health, wealth and long life COM

Then will they be exempt and free
From loves doubts and anxiety.

And hope will lull those woes to rest
NOVEMBER.

| Should prize the Topaz. amber hue
Emblem Of friends and lovers true.
DECEMBER.

The month of snow and ice and mirth-
Place on your hand a Turquoise blue
Success will bless whateer you do.
MADAME MERRI.

Concerning National
Protective Legion.
Superintendent Kelsey, Of New York
Insurance, Writes to Upper
Peninsula Inquirer.

L'Anse members of the National
Protective Legion, who are greatly in.
terested in the current discussion re'a-
tive to its standing and condition, will
be interested in the follow ing letter re-
ceived by an upper peninsula inquirer.
who appealed to State Superintendent
of Insurance of New York Otto Kel-
sey, for information concerning the Sc
ciety.
Answering your letter dated the
18th instant, you are undoubtedly
aware of the fact that present method
of distribution of dividends in force in
the National Protective Legion became
operative last month after the amend
ment to bylaws adopted at the annual
convention in September, 1907. The
action recommended by the manage
ment to the members in respect to the
adoption of the new plan of apportioE-
ing dividends was prompted doubtless
by full consideration of the continuous
criticism made by this department on
the old plan. The department did not
question entirely under the control of
to say that the new plan will entirely
accomplish the results desired, but It
is move in the right direction and will
work for more stability and permanency
to the organization. We have not had
advices from the management that it
desires to provide for any specific sum
of money as reserve fund You
will appreciate the difficulty of fore
casting what will be returned in the
way Of dividends under the contracts is
sued by this association as they are not
definite agreements for the payment of
any fixed sum Of money.
"We have addressed communica-
tion asking for an explanation concern
ing its advices to the membership
relative to the interferences of the fed
eral government, but up to this writing
have received no reply. Doubtless this
information will be supplied at an early
date"
