ENDOWMENT INSURANCE.

The average layman has the impress
sion that life insurance Is die-to-win
proposition, but all who think this way
are mistaken, because 1t is a fact that
1t Is winning proposition whether the
assured lives or dies. The Mutual
Benefit issues policies that guarantee
to pay the assured the face Of the pol
icy in cash at the end Of Ten, Fifteen
or Twenty years, If living, or at prior
death, whether that event occurs on
the day the policy Is delivered and
paid for, or on any other day pre-
vious to the end of the Ten, Fifteen or
Twenty year period. Policies carry
ing this guarantee cost more than a
Ten, Fifteen or Twenty Pay life pol
icy-a life policy being a contract In
which the face or principal sum Is pay
able at death, but under the unique
accelerative endowment plan Of the
Mutual Benefit life policy Is convert
ed into an endowment and the pre-
MUM Is the same as Is charged on any
other life policy. The only difference
being that instead of using dividends
to reduce cost they are allowed to ac-
cumulate. The plan and its advan-
tages cannot be satisfactorily explain
ed within the space that Is available,
and II you are interested, and you
should be IL you are not, II you will
indicate a desire for further informa-
tion it will be my pleasure to fur
nish It.

upper Michigan Is a character that

he has a distinct sense of humor, he Is

A DEED OF DARING.
How Mad Anthony Wayne Stormed
Stony Point.

How Mad Anthony Wayne Stormed
Stony Point.
One of the most marvellous achieve
ments credited to American bravery
and strategy was that of the capture
of Stony Point by Mad Anthony
Wayne, who was one Of the most pic
turesque figures of the American Rev
olution. When he was superseded in
command of the Pennsylvania line,
even after his brilliant success at Mon
mouth on June 2S. 1878. Il less ambi-
tious and patriotic man would have re-
signed his commission.
1t seemed the irony Of fate that the
setback in his career should follow so
closely the official encOmiums for his
work at Monmouth. but that very set
back gave him Stony Point-the great
est opportunity of his life-and he
made good.
There were two important factors,
discipline ana valor, that entered into
this remarkable achievement, the cap
ture of Il fortress on the Hudson held
by the British and considered almost
impregnable. stony Point was an is
land and the fortress was built on a
rock which was precipitous and rough,
1t was guarded by three redoubts and
protected by double abatis of logs
that extended across the peninsula.
The post was garrisoned by COZ men,
who felt so secure in their position
that they were wont to refer to the
post as the Little Gibraltar"
On July II General Wayne assem-
bled all his troops at Sandy Beach,
and at that moment none of his SOL

Gratitude.-Sir Thomas Upton re-
lates the following experience. of his
own:
when I was starting in business
was very poor and needed every penny
I could earn to enlarge my little busi-
ness. I had a lad of fourteen as as
sistant One Monday morning the
boy came in with a very mournful ex-
preston. I asked him what the trou-
BILE was, and he said:
"I have no clothes fit to wear to
church, sir. 1 can't get new suit, be-
cause my father is dead and have to
help my mother pay the rent
"I thought 1t over and finally took
enough money from my hard-earned
savings to buy the lad good, warm
suit of clothes, with which he was de-
lighted.
"The next day he did not come to
work, nor the next; and when three
days had gone by and I had heard
nothing from him, I went to his home
to find out what had become of him.
well, you see, SIR said the moth
er Of the boy, Robert looks so respec-
table in his new suit, thanks to you
sir, that we thought he had better
look around town and see If he could
mt get better job. "-Everybody's

Humorous department.

They Knew Aim.-At the last annu-
al banquet of the Ohio society, says
the Denver Times, A. c. Carson, pres
ideRt of that organization, told story
which began with the statement that
"Ohioans require no more identifica-
ton than a Kansas hotel keeper NAM
ed Ed Wood, who stammered copious-
ly.
ED went home to visit his English
cousins. When he got back as far as
little old-whatever the towns name
is-he found his stock of ready money
rather short. So he wired to his Kan
sas banker to send him SITS. Smith,
the tanker, wired TO Ed:
Have sent money care Kuhns x
Co.
ITO Kuhns & Co., he wired:
PAY to Ed Wood SITS my account.
Wood may be identified by stammer.
when Wood got back to Kansas he
went to see his banking friend and
said:
".S-s-s-ay, J-Joe, those K-k-k-u-
uhns people are the finest s-s-s-et or
g-g-g-gentlemen I ever met. l w-went

The First Spring Quarrel.-The

"Confound you, you've been coaxing

coaXing!"
"Ha, ha, your garden! 1 like that!
Not half so we'll as your hens do!
Pooh, pooh! You coax my hens
to crawl under your house and lay"
Your hens are cheeky trespassers.'
Yes, and your little boy crawls un-
der the house and gets the eggs"
Does he? It's lucky he's so thin. y
IF you were a square man you'd
close up these holes in the founda-
ton"
IF you were a sanitary expert you'd
know that ventilation is a prime neces-
sity"
"Confound you. I'll put up a spite
fence!"
Hang you. I'll have jollincation il
you do"
Whereupon they separate, without
clinching and stalk their several ways

Origin of the "Three R's."-The fa-
nous toast to the three R's-reading,
'riting and 'rithmetic"-was made by
Sir William Curtis, lord mayor of Lon
don, in the year 1875 and for many
years one of the wardens of the tower.
What made it more ludicrous was that
ne proposed it at a dinner given by
the London board of education. 1t was
received with great applause and drunk
amid much merrimcnt. At the time 1t
was secognized as a jest, but was af-
terward taken up in earnest by the
mayors detractors, who have handed
his name down to posterity as blum
dering ignoramus. A writer has now
come to his defense and says that
when he was a boy an aged member Of
the board of education assured him
that Sir William knew better and that
he really used his famous ALTERATION
as a jest To many people, however,
the story will always sound better
when II Is based upon the belief that
Sir William was really serious.

Witchcraft in Scotland,

That belief in witchcraSt and bru-
tai treatment of alleged witches once
loomed large in Scotland is shown in
Stewart Dicks THE Pageant of the
Forth" In 1705 Pittenweem gained
unenviable notoriety from a series Of
prosecutions of old women and the
pamphleteers Of the day were kept
busy on both sides in defending and
denouncing the action Of the magis-
trates. The author says:
TT seems that blacksmith. one
Patrick Morton, being taken i'll, declar-
ed that he was bewitched. and on his
instigation a number Of old women
were thrown into prison. Bullied by
the magistrates and ministers of the
town by day and tortured by their
guards by night who never let them
sleep, but kept them awake by prick
ing them with pins. these miserable old
women were soon induced to confess
anything.
"One woman in particular, Beatrice
Laying, had been singled out by Nor
ton for his special vengeance. He said
that she came asking him to make
some nails for her. He. believing they
were for some evil purpose. refused to
do so, and she went off muttering i'm
precautions. When he fell i'll she was
heard to say, He micht blame his ane
tongue for his ILL., On this issue Of
trivialities she was imprisoned and
practically under torture she acknowl-
edged that she had made a wax image
of Morton and stuck pins in it.
After a long period Of judicial bull
lying she was set free, or; in other
words, handed over to the mob to work
their will on her. Hanged on rope
between a shop and the shore, she was
pelted with stones till half dead and
finally pressed to death under door.
1t seems that in those days no one was
safe against the widest accusations
which might be brought against him."
