WHY He Came BCak

1t is a well-known fact
among life insurance workers that
practically every company in business
pays larger commissions to agents
than does the Mutual Benefit, and for
this reason it occasionally happens
that man who has been with the Mu-
tual Benefit for several years is induc-
ed to sever his connection with it and
undertake to represent another COM
pany, but it rarely happens that he
fails to come back because he soon
realizes that the saying that Is COM
mon among agents of all companies,
except the Mutual Benefit, that "all
companies are about the same" is
false and that no man who knows the
past record of the Mutual Benefit, as
compared with all other companies
and is familiar with its policy con-
tracts, as compared with all other
companies, Can look a seeker after the
best in life insurance in the eye and
tell him that he knows that he is offer
ing it to him, unless he is representing
the Mutual Benefit, and as a result
those who are honest with themselves
and the public, come back. Among
those who recently came back Is Mr..
r. A. Tarissig of Philadelphia, Pa, and
in explaining why, he says:
My life insurance experience prac-
tically began with the Mutual Benefit,
and I am sure that any man, with q
heart in the right place, and a mind
that is able to read and understand,
and is willing to give life insurance
the study he should, will find 1t impos-
sible to sell life insurance for any 9TH
er company with the same confidence
and assurance that he has in selling a
policy for the Mutual Benefit. After
severing my connection with the COM
pany several years ago, 1 never felt
at home, and never had the same con-
fidence in selling insurance, and there
fore redoiced when I renewed my as
sociation with this great company, and
never expect again to sell life insur-
ance for any other. have come back
to stay"

Two Clever Statesmen.-One crisis
in Lord Palmerston's life Illustrates
the absolute good humor which may
prevail even when political enmity is
at its worst. Lord Derby had made an
attack upon him in the upper house
with such energy and eloquence that
the odds against him seemed over
whelming. But he defended himself
and his policy from the dusk of one
day to the dawn of another with such
tact, dexterity and force of appeal 10
the national sense of honor that ne
was acquitted of all blame by ma
jority of fourscOre.
Next day in passing through the
corridor leading from the anteroOm to
the upper house one swing door open
ed TO his hand and at the same mo-
ment the other to the hand of Lord
Derby. They were opponents, but
they were also manly and sweet ma
tured men. They smiled.

Fertile Inventor,

IuNSHNSIs
Speaking about inventors" said
Lie Peters, the Buckeye bridge store
keeper, as he leaned on the counter and
scratched his stubby red bearded chin,
Il reckon Sam Whitaker was the great
est inventor that ever lived in this Sec
tion. His best holt was inventing
hard-luck stories. That man could
give more perfectly good reasons why
he couldn't pay for what he already
had and why he ought to have some
more, than any man ever heard of.
"Once, I remember" continued Lie.
Sam came to the store and wanted
some cheese. He'd been owing a con-
siderable bill for nigh onto five years,
and it had been getting little bigger
every year, and thought it about time
to speak of it.
SAM said l. not moving to get the
cheese, you're owing me little bill
Reckon am, Lie he agreed with
sad cheerfulness. but you know how
it's been over to our house.
Flows it been, Sam?' asked, just
to hear what he'd say this time.
well, you know, four years ago
one of my mules-the blind one-fell
into the we'll and broke it's neck, and
had to sell a calf to get money to hire
somebody to help me get it out. And
then the other mule kicked at Jim
Bills boy and broke it's leg. So Of
course l couldn't pay nothing that
year He sighed.
well, how about the next year,
Sam?' asked.
1.-The next year. Sam says, without
hesitating was the dry year. And the
next ne goes on, there was the twins.
"'And last year, Sam?'
Last year. he replies, my wife's
folks come and stayed six weeks-and,
of course, Lie, you know how that is
Il studied a little Bit" narrated the
storekeeper, scratching his chin re-
flectively, "and 1 remembered all these
things had happened to Sam just as he
said.
SAM I said, that all sounds rea-
sonabie enough, but every time 1 ask
you about your account you give a diff
You see, Lie he said, there's
really so many reasons why 1 can't
pay you I could keep on giving new
ones for ten years and not tell single
fib'
but you won't said, grim like.
why not?' he asks.
Because I'm going to strike 1t all
off and not let you have any more
but the cheese, Lije|I got to have
the cheese he said, and I'll pay you
at hay-cutting time, sure. I've just
got to have the cheese!'
why, Sam?' I asked.
"'You see,' he explained, excited
like, we've got a sick cat, and want
the cheese for it. If the cat dies the
rats will be so bad they'll be sure to
get in the crib and kill the baby some
night"
And you let him have the cheese?"
one of the listeners asked as Lie start
ed to rearrange some cans on the
shelves.
Yep" said Lie shortly.
But" inquired the stranger, Il
thought you said Sam was a great IN
ventor? If his stories were all true
don't see where the invention comes
in"
Lie turned to the inquirer.
"Stranoer he said solemnly "when
I was touched by the picture of that
sick cat dying and letting the rats eat
up the baby gave Sam ten cents
worth of cheese.
Then he went to the barrel and got
a handful of crackers and sat right
down and ate the last bit of it.
"Since then I've knowed he invented
all of them stories-even the ones
that was so."-Youth's Companion.
