then you get fifteen more years of
protection making thirty years of
insurance for the full amount, and
If you are still living at the expira-
ton Of the thirty years. you will
get back, in cash. more money than
you paid the Company in the fifteen
years, and will have had 80 years

old pays in 1924 annually for II
years, total of $485.1o, and gets
insurance Of $1,000 for 80 years. and

Tribute to q Doc

Apropos of the present contro-
versy concerning the dog question,
the following lines, written by Lord
Byron, as an inscription to be plac-
ed upon a monument which he erec-
ted in memory of his dog, may be
of interest to the general public:
When some proud son of man re-
turns to earth,
Unknown to glory, but upheld by
birth,
The sculptor's art exhausts the
pomp of woe,
And stored urns record who rests
below;
When all is done.upon the tomb is
seen,
Not what he was, but what he
should have been;
But the poor dog, in life the firm
est friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to
defend,
Whose honest heart is still his mas
ter's own,
Who labors, fights, lives, breathes
for him alone,
Unhonored falls, unnoticed all his
worth,
Denied in heaven the soul he held
on earth;
While man, vain insect, hopes to be
forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive
Heaven.
Oh, man, thou feeble tenant of an
hour,
DECEASED by slavery, or corrupt by
power,
Who knows thee well must quit thee
with disgust,
Degraded mass of animated dust.
Thy love is lust, thy friendship all
a cheat,
Thy smiles hypocrisy, thy words de-
ceit;
Thy nature vile, ennobled but by
name,
Each kindred brute might bid thee
blush for shame.
Ye, who perchance behold this sim
pie urn,
Pass Ont honors none you wish
to mourn;
To mark a friends remains these
stones arise;
never knew but one, and here he
lies.

This insurance is payable at his

minutes after he pays his first prem

Determination q vaIu bic Asset.

The old building was dilapidated
and unworthy of being called a
place of worship. The seating ca
pacity was quite limited; one room
served for Sunday School room, lee
ture room and auditorium of the
church. The only place in which to
seat the congregation was becoming
shabby and uninviting. The condi-
ton of affairs necessitated a change,
and there were but two outlets
an improved old church, or an
entirely new one.
The majority favored an up-to-
date edifice to replace the one
which had been cherished by their
forefathers. At its greatest, the
congregation was few in numbers,
and possessed but little of this
worlds goods. To erect new
church was an excellent project, but
the subject of funds was quite an
noy.ng.
However, the way to success is
always accompanied by struggles; the
IIerculean road is never overgrown
with flowers. The desire for some
thing better had been created, and
1t was now essential that the aspi-
ration devise an opening. The plan
was to use novel and original meth
DDS to accomplish this ambition.
Accordingly, two years before the
building was started, a Calendar
Club was organized. The president,
Mrs. Edward S. Seward, was one
year, and she selected twelve mon
tbs to assist her; each month was
composed of four weeks, and each
week of seven days, and every mem
Der was required to pay one cent
a day as dues. Since it's organiza-
ton. naturally, some of the nem-
bers have withdrawn, but it has
been a source of constant revenue,
until now it adds about one hun
dred dollars monthly to the cause.
Some If the ladies were experts
in chicken raising, and it occurred
to Mrs. Jefferson Brannock that
work accomplished by hens on Sun
day should be done in the inter-
est of the church; otherwise,it was
unlaw;u: to desecrate the Sabbath.
Acc %rdingly, the eggs are collected
MONDAY, and these Mrs. Branrock
sells at the regular market price.
This organization has added to the
excheduer over one hundred dol
lars. during its short existence.
AS a protection against the rough
er elements, the shingles on the
roof were sold at ten cents apiece,
and eventually the top of the
structure brought about one hun
dred and five dollars. A prize
was offered to the person realizing
the most money in this contest. The
winner, Miss Dorothy Ward. re-
fused any compensation, and do
mated that amount to the fund.
The chairs In the Sunday School
room were offered for sale at one
dollar apiece, and about one hum
dred and forty of them were dis
posed of. A lunch, served at
Springfield farm, on the day that
this property was sold by the
Dixie Realty Co., netted twenty-five
dollars, and candy, jabots and 9TH
er sales have very materially in
creased these figures.
Of course, there have been socials
galore; rummage sales, oyster sup
pers, entertainments and devices of
similar character put into effect, and
every one has added handsomely to
the treasury. Even all this schem-
ing is very small asset in the con-
struction of stone edifice, but
those who are able have contributed
very literally, making possible the
erection of new st. Paul's M. P.
Church.

M0SBY FLED WITH HIS MEN.
An Attack That Wholly Demoralized
the Partisan Rangers.

Colonel John S. Mosby, commander
Of the Partisan rangers, who gave
such dashing service in the southern
which he figured
In the summer of 1864 when General
Phil Sheridan was in the valley of the
Shenandoah he found himself much
harassed by Mosby. who was continu-
ally cutting off his supply trains, An
ach, and Mosby knew it. One bright
morning Mosby heard that a long sup
ply train was winding its way down
the valley. BY noon the rangers in
their gray uniforms were gathered Mt
the forks of the valley pike, watching
for the head, of the wagon train to ap-
pear.
Presently cloud of dust was seen
rising far up the road. and as the wind
blew it aside the Confederates caught
sight of line of men in blue escorting
a caravan of numbering wagons drawn
by mules. Instantly Mosby. gave the
order to run little howitzer up on the
side of hill and unlimber it. AS soon
as the gun had opened fire the rest of
the men were to make a cavalry charge
and throw the train into confusion.
The rangers jerked the gun into po-
sition and began to swab it out. Sud
denly the man with the swab gave q
shrill yell, seized the seat of his panta-
looms and fed down the hill and out
into the road. Almost in the same
moment the other man at the gun
abandoned it. He seemed TO be fight.
ing at the air as he disappeared over
a stone wall,
The suffers wagons were creeping
nearer, and Mosby did not know what
to think of such extraordinary conduct.
He ordered four more men to the gun
but hardly had they reached it when
they, too, yelled, began to beat the air
madly with their hats and took to
fight.
Squirting his horse over the stone
wall, Mosby rode toward the gun, but
his stay was short. The howitzer stood
just over hornets nest, and those
busy insects were resenting the intru-
sion. They had repelled the invaders
on foot, and now they swarmed on
Mosbys horse till the maddened ami
NAL tore off down the pike on run.
Then they turned their attention to
the rest OF the troop.
Their attack was so vicious that the
rangers gave up any idea Of standing
by the gun. They scattered far and
wide, and it was an hour before they
returned. When they did the wagon
train had safely vanished in the dis
tance. So the hornets saved the day
for Sheridan.--Youth's Companion.

Sir Oliver Lodge has attracted a
tremendous amount of attention by
telling scientists tof whom he Is one)
that he believes in Immortality in spite
Of science. This is not the first time
he has locked horns with scientific
dogma. In his book, Modern Prob
lems," he affirms that one and one
do not always make two. And this is
the almost frivolous" way he makes
his point:
II would contend that, whereas the
proposition that one added to one
makes two is abstractedly beneath
controversy, 1t need not be true for
the addition of concrete things. 1t Is
not true for two globules of mercury,
for instance. nor for couple of collld-
ing stars; not true for pint Of water
added to pint of oil or vitriol, nor
for nitric oxide added to oxygen. nor
for the ingredients of an explosive
mixture; not necessarily true. either,
for snakes In cage, or for capital In
vested In n business concern, flour
ishing or otherwise, nor is it true. save
In temporary manner, for couple
of trout added to pond. Life can
make havoc of arithmetic.
"The moral of all which Is that
propositions can be clear and simple
and sure enough indeed absolutely
certain, as long as you deal with alb
strnctiOnS hut that when Won come tO
concrete realities and have all the
complexities Of the universe behind
you-not only behind but in front and
among and intermlngled with every
simplest thing-then we perforce step
out of the realm of positive dogmatic
security into the region OF reasonable
and probable Inference, the domain Of
