A cAllp,s ENDOWMENT.

Most mothers who are interested in the education of their children try to devise a plan whereby they can set aside nickles and dimes which the child receives. They generally put it in a little tin bani which will mean something to the child in the future.
 New York Life has just issued g new policy to cover this ground.
 The New York Life Ins. Co., is sues these policies payable either by annual or semi-annual premiums. To secure the payment of an en- dowment of a fixed amount on al taining the age of IS, q or 25 years which ever may be selected at the outset. These policies pay an annual dividend. No medical examination is required.
 The amount assured is always de ferred for a complete number oi years and the date of the applica ton. (that is the date of the pay ment of the first premium) deter mines the date upon which the dste of the contract terminates Thus, supposing the child is thret years and four months of age Gi the time of the application for in surance, it will receive the amounl assured either at the age of eigh teen years and four months ol twenty-one years and four months Or twenty-five years and four months according to the period Of the en dowment.
 The policy is non-forfeitable aftel three full annual payments have been paid. The policy has a guar anteed cash value and embrace: every advantage of twenty year en dowment policy for an adult aftel the child is fifteen years of age Should the child die before attain ! ing the age of fifteen years tht company will return the premium' received and the dividends accru ling on the policy. The advantage of this method Of saving over an! | other is that the child has a fixe' plan for his saviug and a perio' to work to. We are going to make q special feature of this policy, an! one interested in the future welfar' of their children can get fdrthe particulars by calling at my ofhc' or dropping a card to Box Ss9, Bis bee.

It is truly such. One hears the most blood curdling groans, and from, no one knows where, unseen hands reach out and strike.
 Down slippery space into the dark unknown that lies just in front slide the feet of the helpless explorer who dares to visit this chamber; and these feet strike not on solid ground. but onto the spongy wriggling forms or creatures who inhabit such uncan- ny places. No chance now for the explorer to turn back; his passage Is | blocked by the numberless inhabi' ! tants of this dreadful place; and as he goes .on and on his feet become ! entangied in the webs woven by creatures resembling our spiders, yet
 so much larger that the web they | weave taxes the strength of men ! to free themselves from.
