1.-THE ClanSman."

George H. Brennan, manager of the
Southern Amusement company has an
nounced that he will make a grand re-
vival of the famous Thomas Dixon
play, The Clansman," for a special
tour of the important southern cities
this season. The Clansman" has not
been seen in this section for three
years, although it has played contin-
uously in other parts of the country
and the coming revival will signify the
seventh season of remarkable success,
which it has enjoyed throughout the
United States at large. An elaborate
revival is now in preparation. Com
plete new sets of scenery will be pro-
vided and a specially engaged COM
pany of players. The revival tour will
necessarily only cover a limited num-
Der of southern points and it is an
nounced that Yorkville will be among
those visited. The date of the local
engagement has not been ascertained,
but will be announced later. The re-
turn of THE Clansman" should prove
an important event in the coming the
atrical season in Yorkville.

made it my business during the past
twelve years to try to induce men who
had made up their minds to buy life
insurance, to Look Before Leaping, and
investigate the standing, record and
policy contracts Of the Mutual Bene-
fit Life Insurance Company. Some
have taken my advice, while others
have not. All who have made a thor
ough and impartial INVESTIGATION and
have insured in the company-and the
number includes not less than 95 per
cent of the investigators-are sure
they have the best there is in life in
surance, while many of those who leap
ed and then looked have lived to regret
their failure to look before leaping,
and in many instances have rectified
their original blunder by also joining
the Mutual Benefit Host, while many
others, If they keep their health and
keep on living, will yet do so; anyway
they have assured me that such was
their purpose. Ask to be shown
