SEEING Ourselves.

'cThe man who can pick out the best
picture of himself is a rare bird" said
photographer. Given an author,
who is reputedly a poor judge Of his
own work, exercises vast wisdom in
selecting his best book compared with
the person who tries to choose his best
photograph. Every famous man or
woman who has been photographed re-
peatedly has his favorite picture
Usually it is the worst in the collec-
ton. It shows him with an unnatural
expression sitting or standing in an
unnatural attitude.
'The inability to Judge Of his best
picture must be due to the average
mans ignorance as to how he really
looks, or perhaps it can be partly at
tributed to desire to look other than
he does. A stout man will swear that
the photograph most nearly like him
is one that makes him look thin, a thin
man the one that makes him look
stout The solemn man selects the jol-
lest picture, the jovial man the most
cadaverous.

When the Northwestern Mutual
Fire Association of Seattle came into
this field the lowest annual rate charg-
ed by the stock companies on the best
projected dwellings 10 the state was
ST. 90 per 81. 000 and they declared the
insurance could not be carried for less.
The Northwestern Mutual has reduced
this cost from ST 90 to 81 81. and is
issuing a much more liberal policy
than was ever issued by the stock com.
