THE CHRISTMAS GIFTS
of Great Life Insurance Company.

The policYholders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company will read the "ChriStnas Announcement" just issued by that famous organization with a lively feeling of -congratulation and even those who have no personal connection with the company will ex- anime the announcement with deep in terest and appreciation of the spirit in which 1t Is made.
 The Metropolitan Life Insurance company, during all the period covered by its remarkably successful conduct of life insurance as a purely business entity maintained a bond of human sympathy between itself and the great multitude of people who are both con tributors to the company's prosperity and dependent upon it for their own re- lief in time of need. This company has voluntarily paid to its policyhold- CTS, within period of seventeen years, twenty-five millions of dollars MORE THAN THEIR POLICIES ENTITLED THEM TO-twenty-five millions in ex cess of the cOmpany's promises or the policyholders' expectations
 The voluntary distribution of cash benefits that make up (with the ex- ception of four millions added to re- serve liability this stupendous total has taken place at pretty frequent in tervalS. Whenever a period of de- creased mortality or of lessened ex- pense in proportion to volume of busi- ness or of excess interest earnings, has created fund from which sub stantie1 bonuses could be paid, it has been applied for that purpose A fresh announcement of bonuses payable by the Metropolitan Life is now taken more or less as a matter of course.
 This years Christmas announcement deals with industrial policies All poli syholders who pass the age of 75 in the year 1910 receive a bonus sufficient to pay their further premiums for a full year; policies of 30 years dura- iY months premiums, and so on down to the policies issued between 1896 and 1905. which are awarded bonuses GOV ering five weeks premiums.
 During 1910 each death claim pay ment on an industrial policy will cover not only the face of the claim Cthat is, all that the beneficiary is entitled to by the terms of the policy), but there will be paid an ADDITIONAL sum varying from 5 per cent. to 30 per cent. of the claim, according to the length of time the policy has been in force

ICE PRICES
To Be Lower in Hartford and Vicinity
 This Season.

The Hartford Times says: One of the good things beginning with the New Year is a decrease in the price of ice. The Hartford and Springbrook Ice company and the Trout Brook Ice company, the two largest dealers, have decided, in view of the favorable pros poets for an abundant crop of ice, to reduce the prices, and the lower rates went into effect this morning. To the heavy consumers who buy in ten ton lots, and use a great quantity, the new price will be 20 cents per hundred a, reduction from 80 cents. For the me diuIn consumers the new price is 30 cents per hundred, instead of 40 cents For the family trade the price is now 40 cents per hundred, a drop of 15 cents in price.
 inches thick for the daily supply to their customers. The ice is of fine quality and free from snow broth. With a cold spell coming so early and giving chance to begin the ice har- vest. and with the possibility of more cold "snaps' later in the winter, both companies expect to have no trouble to harvest 8 full crop of 80,000 tons. With a. shrinkage in the houses, in transportation by freight i1I the cars, and on the wagons. the above amount will not be more than 10000 tons when actually placed in the consumers hands. Should the weather become mild and stay so, after the present cold spell, it may be necessary, if the crop is thereby shortened, later in the year to increase the price. But ths companies do not fear that, and hope for full crop, which will keep the price down. Ice is now being cut in West Hartford and South wethersfield. The fcehouses in New Hartford, burn ed last year. have not yet been re- placed, and to make up for the short age in not being able to cut there this season, arrangements have been made with the Berkshire Ice company whareby ice will be cut on that com pany's ice rights. on the Congamond pond in Southwick, Mass, and the Bantam lake in Litchfeld.

THREE HUNDRED TRAMPS SHORT Midletown Patronage During the Last
 Year Was Not Up to the Standard.

The records show that 1,019 tramps were given accommodations at the almshouse and police headquarters during the year just closed and that number was about 300 less than the previous year. says The Middletown Press. This is accounted for in the opinion of Capt. Kincaid by the re- markabIe mild weather during the early part of December. When the weather turned cold the heavy snow storm interfered with travel and the number since the storm has been small During the year 1908 the number of tickets issued was in excess of 1900.

TWAIN'S FIRST LECTURE.
Bret Harte Headed tho cIaque, but the
Audiences Swamped Them.

7
Audience Swamped Them.
Mr.. Clemens prepared a lecture for
his San Francisco audience, giving a
most extravagant account of what he
had seen among the south sea Islands.
When Bret Harte and some other of
his friends were told of his platform
intention they agreed to 80 In body
to the old Mechanics hall, where
Twain was to deliver himself, and
form big claque that would insure
the success of the affair.
Mark wrote his own handbllls, which
set the town agog with anticipation.
One particularly inviting phrase print
ed at the bottom OF the announcement
was, 1.-THE trouble viii begin at S p. m"
The hall was crowded. and the claque
was uproarious when Clemens appear
ed upon the platform. The lecture was
delivered with manifest effort In n
slow, deliberate, drawing manner, and
the lecturer paid no heed whatever TO
the inconslderate demands of Faster,
faster! We can't stay here all night"
and other urgent calls
Although Harte tried TO steer the
claquers, they Insisted upon applaud
ing and laughing IN the wrong places,
which may or may not have been In
tended as Joke on Twain, but at last
the audience. which began to catch on
TO the unique style Of the man and to
appreciate his quantity whimsical ut
terances, overwhelmed the claQue and
had thlngs Its own way.
An old timer who attended the lee
ture says OF the effect Of Twain upon
bis FIRST audience; Ellis slow drawl,
the anxious aud perturbed expression
OF his ylsage. the apparently painful
effort with which he framed bis sen
tences aud, above all, the surprise that
spread over his face when the audi
ence reared with delight or rapturous
ly npplauded the finer passages were
unlike anything of the kind they had
eyer known. The lecture was a great
success" - Bailey Willard in Hamp-
