The colonel was running the end OF

a puzzled expression on his face.

Virtue Rewarded

Previous to four or five years
ago the public, and especially in this
section, had become saturated with the
idea that all old line or legal reserve
life insurance companies Were about
the same" The opinion was not based
on the public's knowledge Of LIFE
INSURANCE or the contracts Is
sued by the various companies, but on
the statements Of agents representing
various companies other than the MU-
TUAL BENEFIT OF NEWARK, N.
j. BY reason of the severe trials
through which life insurance COM
panies have passed since 1905 and the
wide publicity given the subject, the
public now knows that all companies
are NOT about the same" During
this trying period, because Of the fact
that during its entire existence, cover
ing period Of sixty-four years, there
had never been so much as an insinua-
ton as to its integrity or business man
agement the business of the Mutual
Benefit has gone on increasing each
year, while the business Of those COM
panies that have had their sins uncov-
cred have suffered enormously In loss
Of business Notwithstanding the fact
that each of them is perfectly solvent
and safe and as good as they have ever
been. They are now trying to initiate
the principles that have governed the
Mutual Benefit for Sixty-fOur Years,
and laying great stress on their chang
ed ways, but say nothing Of its having
been forced on them. Don't you think
1t would be safest, so far as your peace
Of mind Is concerned, when you buy
insurance to insure In a company
that has not a single act In its
career for which either 1t or its
agents need to apologize, and especial
ly in view of the fact that 1t can and

The Indian Experimented.-A mis-
sionary in charge Of a small church
on the Indian reservation at Ononda-
ga held evening services for his peo-
pie, at which subjects upon which he
lectured were not strictly religious.
One evening when the little build
ing was well filled with braves and
their squaws he described the solar
system and told them that the earth
revolved about the sun and also turn
ed over once in every twenty-four
hours.
Early the next morning the priest
was awakened by knock. He open
ed the door to find a big Indian wrap
ped in a blanket, standing on the
porch.
"Why, Obaga!" he exclaimed. "Is
anything the matter?"
Missionary lied," grunted the In
dian.
'I lied? What do you mean?"
Missionary say world turn over
every night Injun go home, set up
stick, put apple on stick. If world
turn over, apple fall of. This morn
ing apple on stick. Missionary lied.
HUH" And with this parting grunt
he strobe down the path, unheeding
the priests calls.

Scepticism of Australians.-Melba,
describing Australia in an interview,
said:
my fellow countrymen are like
westerners Of the '70s. They have
delicious humor and a mocking scep-
ticism.
1.-The Bishop of Ballaret rode one
night into a little township Of his
diocese that he had never visited be-
fore. It was late and rainy. The only
building with a light in it was the Of
fee of the local paper, and the bishop
knocked on the door with his crop
stick.
Hello, below!' cried voice, and
a head popped out Of the window
above.
"T am the Bishop Of Ballarat, said
the bishop mildly. Will you be so
good as to direct me to a hotel?'
From the roomful Of compositors
came a loud burst Of laughter, and
another man stuck out his head and
said to the bishop in tone of kindly
reproof:
LOOK here, old man, you've had
about enough hotel for one night! Go
on home and go to bed, or you'll get
run in as sure as shootin'." boston

SUITING HIS THEoRY.-"When hear
Of a new theory" said a scientist, 81
am reminded Of the two biologists. AT
a certain summer resort one brilliant
afternoon the younger geologist from
his bedroom window saw the older man
rolling a great rock down the side OF
a mountain.
He watched the work for nearly
three hours. The old geologist, thin
and little and white whiskered, had a
hard time of it to guide that rock al
most as big as himself. But he per-
severed. He got the rock down where
he wanted it just as the dinner bel
rang.
"The younger man said to him Won
deringly at dinner:
what were you doing with that
rock this afternoon, professor?
why the professor answered, the
fact is the thing was 600 feet too high
to suit my theory"

as she looked up at me, knew she had
been told. She then told me how she
found It out. Now, tell you that was
relief to me. for 1 had gone off and
said nothing to any one about our
plans, never dreaming that Cliff would
get away from us.
Well, when we all collected in the
yard, I was very much pleased to see
how Cliff was going to take the joke.
He laughed heartily, and for the first
time inspected his pistol and found
that it contained blank loads only.
well John," he said, II understand
now how you happened to miss that
owl. 1t was signal for Will to be
ready" We talked and laughed long
time over the run, and it is still a
mystery to us all how Cliff ran his
horse full speed through those thick
woods without getting knocked off;
but he came out without scratch,
and by the way, 1t was right in this
thickest brush where he fired his pistol
twice to hasten old Hays little, and
heard just after the fight.
Cliff was so excited he ate very lit
tie supper that night, and slept a
great deal less than he ate. In fact,
none of US slept very much, for he was
up most of the night and kept up so
much fuss that no one could sleep.
The next day being Saturday great
crowds gathered about the stores and
Cliff was among the earliest arrivals.
and talked and laughed about his Tex
as fight and adventure all day.
He owned right up that he ran out
of the fight when it first started, "and
remember boys" says he, that self
preservation Is the first law Of nature,
and nine out of ten Of you would do
Just what did, put in the same place,
and we all agreed with him.
Monday being a bright, pretty day,
we went with him to the pasture and
helped him get some prickly pear,
moss, chaparal, cactus and several
different things that he wanted to take

pack his trunk; and gave him Tex
as bride, pair Of big spurs, and
Mexican lariat, "a lariat Is rope made
of strings cut from a cow hide). When
he got them all in his trunk, he had
very little room for clothing. He
priced his collection Of Texas things
highly, and said he was coming back
to Texas again in five years.
Tuesday morning came, the horses
were harnessed and put to the wagon,
Cliffs trunks and valises were loaded,
and the time for his departure was at
hand. He told us all goodbye, and I
might add not altogether with dry
cheeks, for when held his hand in
the last goodbye, I saw large tears in
his big, honest blue eyes. They might,
however have been magnified some, as
was looking at them through water
AS he drove off he waved his hand
back and said, Remember John, that
a good run beats a bad stand" and
am ready to wager that as long as grass
grows and waters runs, Cliff will new
er forget his visit to Wrightsboro and
Texas. JOHN.

The Only Drawback.-'Leth him en-

1t was indeed, an anxious moment
for the faculty of Brightize College.
For months they had been searching
in vain for a man to take the position
of president. Applicant after appl-
can had been turned away, until in
despair they were almost on the eve
of giving the position to the janitor,
who had been with the college for
some years and knew all its ways,
when they were agreeably surprised
to receive a favorable preliminary re-
port on the young man who now en-
tered.

I'm all right. I can make after
dinner speeches, in which I can say
the most beautiful truths, and get
them copied all over the country. Oh,
I know how. to keep my name before
the country, all right"
please withdraw"
When they were alone the chair
man turned to the rest Of the faculty.
Gentlemen" he said selemnly,
there's only one trouble about that
man. "I'm afraid he's too good for
the place."-Philadelp Ledger.
