No Longer a Safe Bed.-A friend
was complaining the other day to
Capt. Barber, port captain Of the state
pilots, about the crowded condition OF
the steamboat on which he recently
made a trip, says the New York Press.
-Four In a room?" replied Barber.
That's nothing. You should have
travelled in the days of the gold rush
to California I remember one trip
out of New York we carried more than
1000 passengers. and II you put fifty
on that ship today there'd be a holler
that would reach Washington and
make trouble for somebody. To show
you how crowded 1t was and what
crowded really meant, three days out
from New York chap walked up to
the old man and said:
"'Captain, you really must find me
a place to sleep
Where in thunder have you been
sleeping until now?' inquired the old
man.
well says the fellow, you see
it's this way: I've been sleeping on
sick. man. but he's getting better now
and won't stand for it much longer "

Cecil Rhodes that he was '1onely in

Of the story tellers of the house OF
representatives, but he had an unfor-
tunate experience one day when ne
attempted to illustrate a point In a
tariff speech with the story of Sim
pie Sally" character in the neigh
borhood where he lived as boy.
The family always tried things first
on Sally, said Mr.. Prouty; If they
didn't hurt her, they were considered
good enough for the rest of the family,
"They used her as sort Of expert
ment station" he explained. IF they
had edibles from the woods, and were
a little in doubt as to whether they
were TODD stoals--"
"A shout Of laughter went up from
nearby colleagues, and Mr.. Prouty
hastily corrected himself:
"Stoodtoals," he began. The laugh
grew stronger.
eStoodstools!" he shouted, red in
face.

Financial Support-Dr. ]. B. Becht,
secretary of the Pennsylvania board
Of education, recently heard a little
boy give a recitation on the subject of
Atlas with the world on his shoulders,
relates Pearson's Weekly.
do you know who Atlas was?" DR..
Becht asked.
Yes, sir" was the prompt reply.
He was a giant who supported the
world.
supported the world, did he?"
commented DIR. Becht. But who sup
ported Atlas?"
The little boy looked puzzled for a
moment, but he frightened up almost
at once. Il guess he must have mar
ried a rich wife," he replied.

Will You Be An AbsCOndef2

In making a talk on life insurance
a prominent banker is quoted as fol-
lows: 'I say men ought to know
enough to buy life insurance pdsbuy
it plentifully. 1t Is to the everlasting
anne Of good business men that q lot
of enterprising gentlemen have to
spend hours, yea, even days, convinc-
ing them that life insurance Is ne
cessity and the very best business
proposition In existence"
Another wise man Is quoted as say
ing: 1.-The man underinsured or unin-
sured, who complains Of the high cost
of living is an absconder II he dies.
You can live almost as cheaply as
your grandfather did II you will live
like he did. Men indulge themselves
and families without playing safe
without applying ordinary common
sense. Such a man indulges himself
and family now at the sacrifice Of his
family in the future. He Is charging
things twice to this account every
day."
The man who carries an adequate
amount Of MUTUAL BENEFIT insur-
ance can look forward to the future
with the assurance that both he and
his family are absolutely safeguarded
so far as financies are concerned.
