Life Insurance and Trust Company was
William Baird, an enthusiast in the then
new fed Of life insurance. About a
decade later the great mutual compa MES
began to be started and the New York
Life Insurance and Trust Company
gave up seeking that business.
Some Ave years ago there was much
discussion in the newspapers over new
law which required trust companies In
New York to increase their cash reserve
To the full amount Of Is per cent. but
this caused no especial comment in the
white marble building at SO Wall street,
for ever since the panic of 1873 the COM
pany had maintained the policy of carry
ing reserve In its own vaults. Per-
haps one result Of its conservative man.
agement was its ability to lend $4,000.
900 from its own vaults to bankers who
agreed to furnish the United States
Treasury with $40 900. 900 in gold during
the second Cleveland Administration
For long time the company has been
principally engaged in the management
OF estates and in iiduciary work of like
character.

the exception of dishes, silverware,

Another novelty has been introduced
which has become popular already.
There Is a rest period of ten minutes

another room filed with machines which

things, among others for the fact that
it Is without a telephone.
1t has just passed Its elehty-fourth

Of 81 900, 900, and resources Of more than
$40, OOs 900; II has outstanding just about
a dozen life insurance policies, the most

like half century ago: it has declared
1918 per cent. in dividends during its
long career; and In the woyds Of one of
its officers. II "holds unique position
In that II has never done any corpora
ton business, nor has it ever accepted
corporation or railroad trusts, but has
contented itself with acting In all tiduci-
AIRY capacities for individuals. 1t also
acts for institutions OF charity, religion
and learning"
Furthermore may be added the fact
that this unusual concern watched with

her present study in Europe the
article says:
miss Walker has just gone abroad

has been in Chicago. Some of her
friends thought she was doing wall
enough here, but others felt that her
work thus far was only preparation

Experienced Youngsters.

Look EN- over. There's a list that
ought to produce the best baseball
team that ever stepped on Central
association diamond They are all
men who have had from one to three
or more years experience. They are
all youngsters, the kind that can be
sold II they develop, yet not SO
young that they will blow up on the
slightest provocation. Five of them
have played in the Western league.
1t doesn't look like Abb had under
estimated the strength of the Central
association.
Taking it more Systematically, the
team is composed of strong pitching
staff, the infield is strong, the out
field is strong, and at least one OF
the catchers is known to be of top
notch calibre. They will average up
as one of the hardest hitting squads
in the league.
