The Ruling Passion.-A young con-
tractor in a Missouri town found him
self after the war in dire financial
straits. He owned few pieces of prop
erty all of which were mortgaged-the
mortgages in each instance being held
by an old man who lived with his one
son, Brocky, in a tumbledown hut that
could not be rented to anyone else. In
the course of time the miser foreclosed,
taking over the contractors property,
which was valued in excess OF the
amounts loaned. The contractor began
to pay rent on the house in which he
lived.
Three months after the foreclosure
the miser lay dying. An urgent mes
sage reached the contractor, and he,
supposing that the other knowing his
end to be near, wanted to make what
restitution he could for the good of his
soul, hurried down to the cabin. He
found the old man in rickety bed,
covered with tattered quilt and an old
overcoat. The contractor bent his ear
hopefully to the others lips. The miser
drew a long breath, clutched the quilt
in a skinny hand and whispered:
PAY your next months rent to

A Word to PrOcrastinatOrS

If you owned a dwelling worth $10,-
900, do you think you would wait un-
til next week, next month or next year
before insuring against Possible loss
by fire? No you would not wait until
tomorrow. Yet you say you are not
ready to insure your life for the pro-
lection Of your wife and children or
creditors, uut hope to do so later.
Brother | can explain to you why you
are so particular about the house, that
ing about the life that is sure to end
sooner or later-possibly within six
months. If your house should burn
on Y OU! But If you die without any
Life Insurance, or less than enough
to comfortably provide for those you
profess to love, the loss would fall on
THEM, If you have no fire insurance
you are carrying the risk. If you have
no Life Insurance, your family and
creditors are carrying the risk; but
when you are gone without Life Insur-
ance you will not be able to hear the
kind things CD your family, neighbors
and creditors will have to say about
you, as you would in case your house
should burn uninsured. See? The
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Com
pany during the past 87 years, has
paid out to benefciaries over $780,
0OO. 900: But Not One Cent OF This
Huge Sum Was Paid to the Beneficial
ries Of Those Who Expected to Insure,
But Did Not Do So.

Early to Rise.-A young chap of the
city had been going the route, and his
father resolved to correct him. He was
shipped to his uncle's farm to work
with the hands.
He had been in the habit Of going to
bed at a couple o'clock and staying
there until noon. His first night at the
farm saw him in the hay at o'clock,
and it was some time before he got to
sleep. He had not been overpowered
by work at that time.
Around daybreak he was aroused by
his uncle, who came into the room and
stood over the bed.
Come, come, my boy" he said.
you've got to get up. You're on the
farm now, you know"
The light was not secure, and the
sleepy city chap raised himself on his
elbow and rubbed his eyes.
Whats up?" he asked.
We're going out to cut the oats"
Holy macKerel! Do you have to
sneak up on them in the dark?"-Chi-

Not the Real Thins.-Clarence AL
colt, the Yale coach, comforted a
slightly injured half back on the side
lines at New Haven, with a football
story.
"Once on a time" said Mr.. Alcott,
there was a wonderful Thanksgiving
Day game between two great 'varsi-
ties.
This game was played almost fault
lessly. The interest was maintained
to the very end. Star play succeeded
star play with the precision of clock
work. But
Not a man was disabled.
Not single doctor was called out.
Not a nose was broken, not a
tooth loosened, not a drop Of blood
dyed the ground.
The spectators, at the end Of this
phenomenal game, shook their heads
and sighed.
"1t was magnificent they said, but
it was not football"
