made my first contract as agent
for the MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE IN
SURANCE COMPANY more than
thirteen years ago, and during my
connection with the Company have
had the pleasure Of writing the appli-
cations Of scores Of the best citizens
in this section Of the state for insur-
ance-some having applied for and
obtained as many as four or five poll
cies on different dates-and 1t is graf
flying to me to be able to state that
during my entire connection with the
company I have not had a single pol
icy holder who has so much as fnti-
mated that he was not entirely satis-
fed. 1t is q fact that many of them are
Mutual Benefit Agent today They
do not carry a rate book, but they
never fail, when they find friend or
acquaintance who Is considering life
insurance, to advise them outright to
take 1t in the Mutual Benefit, or before
signing an application to see SAM
GRIST. There Is a reason, and 1t Is
that they know, by experience, that
there Is none better and they do not
want their friends to make the mis-
take Of not getting the BEST, espe-
cially when it does not cost any more,
II as much, as the other kind. If no
friend has advised you to investigate
the MUTUAL BENEFIT, you will act
wisely If you do so anyway

Mills Buying cotton.-The sharp

Mills Buying Cotton.-The sharp de-
cline in the price Of cotton the past
few days has brought mills again more
actively into the market. UP to Mon
day there had been an apparent
apathy on the part Of spinners to pro-
vide a larger portion of their require
ments out Of the new crop cotton con-
tracts. But cotton looks much more
attractive to the mills at 11a cents
than 13 cents.
Mill men are keenly alive to the i'm
portance Of this decline Of the staple
In other words. the consuming world
is getting into the market because II
can see a good profit on 11-cent cot
ton. While spinners' takings held ur
pretty we'll in the spring and early
summer, the rise in cotton to above
13 cents in late July tended to check
purchases.
Previous to this week the cotton
goods market took little note OF the
decline in the price Of the staple and
business continued in large volume al
fairly remunerative prices. The cot
ton goods primary markets are just
now quieter and undoubtedly, with
goods will come down. Wide print
cloths are being offered at slightly
easier figures than a week ago. The
drop in cotton and the prospect Of a
softeninG In prices Of cotton goods Is
tending to make buyers cautious and
encouraging them to stay out Of the
market for a time.-Wall Street Jour-

says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Yet one must admit that slang has a

an Egyptian hieroglyphic, The truth
seems to be that we are taking more
snort cuts now than ever to express
thoughts or emotions. while we are
lacking that literary language which
the uncients possessed. No one sup

ems or Rome spoke as Thucidides or
Cicero wrote. Language was Il fine

SO called romance languages. descend

from the classic forms is that French.
Spanish, Italian. etc. are descended
not from the literary language. but
from the ordinary forms of speech
used by the multitude.
In Shakespeare's day there were
many great writer's, who. most I'M
Fortunately, are largely forgotten, but

there is no longer Il set standard-not

one may speak very much as he

The language is undergoing great

any rigidity, and the subjunctive mood
is being crowded out entirely. 1t re-

1900 ANTELOPE LEFT
Another animal peculiar to North
America that is disappearing under
the advance of civilization is the prong
horned antelope. There are about IL
600 of this species left. Its great re-
duction in numbers has been viewed
with alarm by naturalists, and means
for its preservation have been taken up
by the government. There is now n
large herd in Yellowstone park, Wyom-
ing A herd is also being raised in the
buffalo preserves at Wichita, Kan.
The government has also been a
guardian to birds which the devastat-
ing hand Of time has made scarce.
The pelican, which you have perhaps
never seen alive outside of menag-
erie is being preserved for future gen
erations.
On the east coast of Florida there Is
q small island overgrown with tropical
vegetation and fringed with rank
marsh grasses. For years the pelican
lived there. steadily increasing in num-
Der. The territory knows only one
name-Pelcan island. The birds were
unmolested. Not being good to eat.
the hunter passed them by. The south
ern people loved them because or the
ancient lore which surrounded them
with mystery.
Then came the modern sportsman
with an eye for big game. His butch
cry almost wiped out the pelican tribe.
The government was aroused. ana the
pelican was spared from further dam
age by the careless hunter.
The object Of the government is
simply to save every bird, fish ana
animal of this country from ruthless
slaughter The federal control of game
merely supplements and does not
hamper or replace the work hitherto
done by state commissions and organ
izations. Ii simply co-operates with
the latter, thus assuring more uniform

Christy Mathewson, master of the
fadeaway. blames Ty Cobb 70: De-
vore's failure to hit Eddie Plank In the
worlds Series last year. Devore struck
out four times In four trips to the
plate in the second game of the series.
In an article entitled Take Him Out"
printed In Parsons Magazine and mp
pearing under Mathewson's name. lie
tells this story;
When Devore was going TO Philadel-
phia for the second game of the worlds
series last fall, the first one in the
other town. he was introduced to Ty
Cobb, the Detroit outfelder, by some
newspaper men on the train, and as it
was the first time Devore haC ever
met Cobb he sat down with him. and
they talked all the way over
Gee said Josh TO me rs we were
getting Off the train. that fellow Cobb
knows lot about batting.' He told me
some things about the American league
pitchers just now, and he didn't know
he was doing it. l never let ON. But
Just hope that fellow Plank works to-
day if they think | am weak against
left handlers. Say, Matty, could write
book about that guy and his grooves
now after buzzing Cobb and the funny
thing is he didn't know he was telling
me-"
Plank pitched that day and famed
Devore four times out of possible
four Josh didn't even get foul Off
him.
Thought you knew all about that
fellow" said to Devore after the
game.
I've learned since that Cobb and he
are pretty thick" replied Devore. land
] think Ty was giving me bad steer"
1t was evident that Cobb had been
filling up Josh with misinformation
that was working around in Devores
mind when he went to the plate to face
Plank, and instead of being open to
impressions these wrong opinions had
already been planted, and he was con-
stantly trying to confirm them. Plank
was crossing him all the time. and, be-
ing naturally weak against left hand
ers, this additional handicap made De-
wore lcok foolish.
