make such payments to him, but

After the filing of the suit, the

paid over to the clerk of the Cham
Gerry Court the amount held by
them, aggregating $6,50S.69 and
discIaimed any interest in the con !.

sired to be protected in their pay

lover to the proper authorities,
their only reason for holding it be-
ling the possible chance that with

the most thoroughly enjoyed dance
of the season. The dignifed Lanciers

WHY He Came Back

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 1t occasionally happens
that a man who has been with the Mu-
tual Benefit for several years is induc-
ed to sever his connection with 1t and
undertake to represent another COM
pany, but 1t 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 it's 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 a
heart in the right place, and 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, I never felt
at home, and never had the same con-
fdence 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
