THINGS YOU
OUGHT TO
KNOW

There are a number Of things, be-
sides probable cost, that every man or
woman who is thinking of applying for
life insurance should know before
they start out to keep up payments
that are likely to extend over long
period Of years, as conditions often
arise in the experience Of an insured
individual that make a material differ
ence in his treatment, and then the dis
covery is made that there were some
features in the policy about which the
agent who sold 1t either knew nothing
or kept his mouth shut. The wise in
surer appreciates the fact that the con-
tract is what he buys and that 1t is
what the company expects to be gov
erned by. 1t Is generally conceded by
all reputable insurance men every
where that when II comes to giving ev-
cry member a square deal and every
thing to which he could under any cir
cumstances be entitled to, and backing
1t up by a record covering period Of
IS years, and assets Of $4,000 900. the
Mutual Benefit Is 1T. No company has.
will or can carry out its contracts at
less cost. I am the one individual in
this region who is in position to ex-
plain to you the things that will make
for your interest in buying life insur-
ance. SAM M. GRIST,

THE SPOTS ON THE MOON.
Many Legends Evolved In Many Lands
to Account For Them.

In every country in the world peo-
pie have spun fancies about the curl
Gus spots on the bright, round face or
the moon.
The American Indians tell two le-
gends accounting for these spots. One
is that the man in the moon was
hunter with his dog, banished to the
sky for some transgression.
The other relates that long ago
group of Indian boys met every even
ing to dance about one of their num-
Der who was a sweet singer. At last
one night when their parents refused
their request for dainties to make
great feast they danced as usual, and
the singer sang more sweetly than ever
before. AS he sang they danced even
faster.
Still singing, he rose into the air;
still they whirled around him. Their
parents called them, but they only rose
and danced higher. The one boy who
looked back fell to the earth and
changed into a pine tree. The others
rose till they stepped into the moon
where they may be seen on any moon
light night.
On certain nights of the year In
dians still climb high as possible into
pine-trees and stretching their arms
toward the heavens, chant prayers to
these boys to bring blessings from the
moon to the earth.
In New Zealand the Maoris say that
a man went out one night and STUN
bling sprained his ankle. Whereon he
lamented so loudly that at last the
moon came down and took hold OF
him. In his fright he seized a bush,
but the moon pulled that up by the
roots and sailed back into the sky with
both man and bush.
In China moon worship still exists
and the Chinese say that the man in
the moon arranges marriages and ties
together with an invisible silken cord
the youths and maidens he intends to
unite.
Cinnamon call the woman in the
moon the queen of all fairies and fancy
they can see her palace.
Samoan Islanders believe that the
moon came down one night and stole
the woman Sina working in the twi-
light. Never able to return to earth,
you may see her now in the moon,
with her mallet and the board on
which she was beating out bark to
make cloth.
About nine days after the new moon,
a pretty, Enthusiastically feminine face
face appears on the western half of the
disk. This lunar lady, who is well
worth watching for, is formed by the
mountains and tablelands embraced
by the seas of tranquility, vapors and
serenity. and is best seen through an
ordinary opera glass.

Not Tending to Business.-A coun-
try doctor was recently called upon to
visit a patient some way from his Of
flee. Driving to where the sick man
lived. he tied his horse to tree In
front of the house and started to walk
across the ground. 1t happened that
work was in progress on new wall
of which the doctor knew nothing
until he found himself sinking into
the earth. He fell just far enough to
be unable to get out of the hole unas-
sisted, and Justify yelled for help.
When he was finally pulled up the
hired man remarked to him:
II say, Doc, you had no business
down there"
NO, 1 don't think l had" replied
the doctor.
Don't you know" continued the
hired man, you ought to leave the

An Afternoon Tea.-It was at an af-

commandment. says the Philadelphia

paniment. Needless to say the zeal
Gus friend was a ladies' man.
The mans man was very unhappy.
He had sulked and had positively re-
fused to be introduced to the bevy OF
charming girls presiding at the tea
tables, much to the chagrin of the la
dies man. who naturally couldn't un-
derstand the attitude of the mans
man. 1t was inexplicable, from his
point of view. But a ray of hope glim-
mered in his breast when the mans
man rushed up to him eXclaiming:
Il say, old fellow, introduce me to
the fat lady sitting over in the corner
will you?"
The eyes of the ladies' man glisten-
ed.

cried Have you got crush on her!

Itended starvation and sought help
from the animals. A monkey gave
him a bunch of mangoes; coot pick
ed up for him a isherman's neglected
haul: fox stole him a pot of milk.
Then he appealed to the hare.
I've nothing but grass: you can't
eat that" said the hare.
But your flesh is good rejoined
the seeming Brahmin.
Yes" the hare said.
Then" suggested the god, I'll
make a fire at the foot of this rock;
you jump off into it. and I'll be saved
the trouble of killing you"
The hare nodded and leaped; but
when he was in the air the god caught
him in his arms, and then drew the
figure of the hare in the moon as a
perpetual reminder of the beauty of
self-sacrifice.
While the Indians of India see a
hare, the Indians of America behold a
child in the moon. A British Columbia
tribe asserts that a child who cried in
the night for water, and was unnotlc-
ed by it's mother, saw the moon appear
at the door of the lodge with a pot of
water, which the child had no sooner
drunk than the moon carried the in
fant back to the sky, where both may
still be seen.
The moon legend of the Eskimos is
/, nh n
thing visible on her face. According
to them the sun and moon are broth
er and sister. Once in fit of anger
the sun burned one side of his sisters
face coal black. Then she ran away
and the sun has been chasing her ev-
er since. When the burned side of
her face must be turned toward us she
disappears.
Some of the ancients believed that
the souls of the good who died on earth
went to the side of the moon turned
away from earth, while sinners went
to soiourn on the side of the moon Wis
ible to mortals, thus being obliged to
spend eternity in full view Of the scene
OF their crimes.
Some moon beliefs of the Indians in
the north of the American continent
have been given. In the south, Aztecs
deified the moon under the name OF
Mextli and erected a pyramid of the
moon. A chapel was consecrated to
her in the temple of the sun at Cuzco
and she was reverenced next to the
sun. and believed to be his sister and
wife and the mother of the Incas.

THE ELEPHANT IN BATTLE.
Most Docile Yet Courageous and Faith
full of Animals.

ful OF Animals.
OF the docility of the elephant there
is no need to multiply examples. 1t is
said that in India native women some
times when called away intrust their
babies to the care of the handed one,
confident that they will be safe and
tenderly handled.
But if all elephant stories, surely the
finest is that when tells how the
standard bearing elephant of the Peish-
wa won a great victory for its NAH
rata lord. At the moment when the
elephant had been told to halt it's ma
hOu was killed. The shock of battle
closed around it, and the Mahratta
forces were borne back, but still the
elephant stood, and the standard which
it carried still flew, so that the Pelsh-
was soldiers could not believe that
they were indeed being overcome and,
rallying, in their turn drove the enemy
backward till the tide swept past the
rooted elephant and left it towering
colossal among the slain. The fight
was over and won, and then they
would have mad the elephant move
from the battlefield but it waited still
for the dead mans voice.
For three days and nights it remain
ed where it had been told to remain,
and neither bribe nor threat would
move it till they sent to the village on
the Nerbudda, hundred miles away,
and fetched the mahout's little son, a
round eyed. lisping child, and then at
last the hero of that victorious day,
remembering how its master had often
in brief absence delegated authority to
the child, confessed its allegiance and
