Why He Came Back

It 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 man who has been with the Mu-
tual Benefit for several years Is induc-
ed to sever his. connection with II 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 ell 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 q seeker after the
best in life insurance In the eye and
tell him that he knows that he 10 Offer
ing it to him, unless he 10 representing
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
ISOLATION with this great company, and
never expect again to sell life insur-
ance for any other. have come back
to stay"

cnmrts Without Lawyers.

The expense OF appeal to European
industrial courts is very slight. Par
ties must usually, If physically able.
appear in person, and as a rule they
argue their own cases. Lawyers, In
deed, are entirely excluded from pcac-
ticing in the inductrial courts of Ger
many, and rarely appear, except as the
representatives of large employers or
companies in France. In no case IS
party obliged to hire a lawyer.
Court fees, too, are reduced to min.-
mum. None whatever are required In
Basel, Switzerland, and in France
none are paid if the amount in dispute
Is less than 20 francs, or about 81. No
fees are demanded in Germany If the
parties reach a voluntary agreement,
and judgments in dispute which do
not exceed in value 100 marks, or less
than $25, cost only from one to three
marks, or 25 to rs cents In all cases
the fees are graded according to the
amount in dispute.
AS a result of this cheapness ard
rapidity Of action no complaint Is 100
petty to be brought before an indus
trial court. Disputes have been set
tied in Germany which involved as
little as 20 pfennigs, or about 5 cents.
Only about rs per cent, indeed, of all
the complaints brought in the Ger
man Empire in 1908 were for more
than 100 marks, or under $25. In
France, two years earlier, less thon
2.5 per cent OF all the cases were far
over 800 francs, or less than $50. 1t
is safe to say that wherever these
courts have been established the great
majority of suits have been for less
than $iO. To some Americans such
cases may seem trivial. But many a
European workman has doubtless been
prevented, by having at hand the
means of obtaining his rights cheap
ly and quickly. from being embittered
by sense of pOwerlessness against
njustice-American Review of Re-
views.

While all those fish mentioned above

While all those fish mentioned above
are capable Of producing electricity for
hunting and defensive purposes not
one of them utilizes the current for
electric lighting. And yet, strange as
1t may seem there are plenty Of fishes
who do use electricity produced by
themselves for this very purpose.
Not until recently has any attempt
been made to investigate the life of
the deeper parts Of the ocean. But the
travis and drag nets suspended mile
under the water, where 1t Is necessa-
rily total darkness all the time, reveal
a multitude of small fishes, each
equipped with an electric light. With
out this light Of course they would be
unable to see at all at that great
depth, where the sunlight can never
penetrate. The nets bring up host
Of these small fishes, and in nearly ev-
cry case they are equipped with the
brightest eyes and little individual Ian
terms to light their way along the dark
pathways of the deep.
No man knows just how the cleo
tricity for this light Is produced, but
1t Is there nevertheless. The deep sea
fish are of many strange shapes, and
in most Of them the lamps are sus-
pended at the ends Of long feelers and
can be turned on or off at will Pre-
sumably when the fish wants to go on
a visit or a hunt for food he just turns
on his lamp and starts out. When he
wants to rest he seeks some secluded
corner in the rocks and turns out the
light sleeping in safety and comfort
until he is hungry again.
There are many other animals, in
sects and bugs which can produce
more or less electricity, but in such
feeble and limited amounts that they
are hardly worth mentioning in this
article. OF course every one Is famil-
lar with the common lightning bug,
which can produce a brilliant glow of
heatless light at will.-Electric News
Bulletin.

Her Mistake.-Sweet was the lass
low was the gas; 1t was the evening
she expected him to put across the
big question.
He did not look we'll. Something
seemed to be troubling him. He tried
to say something, but the words stuck
in his throat, and the girl, noticing
this, turned the gas even lower.
Suddenly he turned to her and
cried: I'm a dub"

appreciate yourself as we'll as some
others do. perhaps. Tee-hee!"
"Yes," he persisted stubbornly. I'm

dub!"
She was a sensible girl, and so,
realizing that he ought to know best
she thanked him kindly for warning
her in time and handed him his hat

behind him forever that she realized
the awful truth.

Iiiesjbie Coin inssriptions.-Lyine
on the table in front Of a numismatist
was an old copper coin. 1t had expert
enced hard usage.
Can you read the date and the in
scription?" inquired the collector.
The visitor inspected the specimen;
but, although he had the aid Of a mag,
nifying glass, he confessed that the
words and figures were illegible.
Let me assist you," the collector re-
marked. Going to the kitchen range
he thrust an ordinary coal shovel into
the fire and permitted it to remain
there until red hot. Withdrawing it.
he dropped the coin on the utensil, and
1t speedily became as red hot as the
shovel itself. Immediately the date
1894, shone brightly in glowing figures
on the diverse side Of the coin. and
similar treatment revealed the words

to the numismatist, seldom fails with

Horses That Prefer to Die Thar
Submit.


"The outlaw horse never surren-
ders," writes Rufus Steele, in Mus
tangs, Busters and Outlaws Of the
Nevada Wild Horse Country" in the
October American Magazine. He may
evade the traps entirely for years.
Once inside the canvas wall he Is al
most human in devising ways to es-
cape. If he gets away it is usually
at the cost of the lives of other horses.
An outlaw has caused stampede in
the trap and has leaped over the can
vas barrier from the top Of the pyra-
mid composed of the writhing
bodies Of his band. The outlawry of
q wild horse is proclaimed by the fact
that his breaking is Of ne avail. SHOULD
an outlaw kill or disable his buster in
the first encounter, he is thrown to the
ground while another buster mounts
him in that position. The outlaw will
continue to buck-jump until he is ex-
hausted, then ne will stand quietly or
trot with the man upon his back.
The submission is but temporary and
when next he is saddled the terrific
bucking will go on as long as the horse
is physically able to keep 1t up. And
at the next saddling, and the next and
the next. Some horses plainly prefer
death to submission to man, and vio-
lent death has sometimes come in a
way that could be called nothing but
suicide. The horses that survive the
first strenuous lessons and continue to
fight can be divided into two classes
those that refuse ever to yield in the
slightest degree, and those that sur
render conditionally, renewing the
fight as opportunity arrives. A horse
of the first class has, almost invaria-
bly,, misshapen head; crazy Is writ
ten across his face. Horses Of the
second class are far above the average
in intelligence. Their violence Is not
without method. They will charge a
mounted man when necessary to es-
cape and will even put the rider and
his mount under foot. They give slack
unexpectedly in order to cut in two
with their teeth a rawhide riata such
as no horse could break"
