set forth that among the thousands
of policyholders in the Mutual Life
Insurance company are many per-

court is informed that "the solvency
of the company and the conservation

good will of the policyholders, and no
part of the assets of the company
should be- loaned os invested in the
securities of any of the warning ma
tions or used for the purpose of abet-

it has been mastered.

up a game of pinochle. They
were not acquainted at the
hotel, but they needed sew
eral others to "sit in" the
game. One of them suggested
a plan. Calling a bell boy, he
said: boy, page Mr.. Pino-
chile" The accommodating
page started through the
lobby, "Call for Mr.. Pino-
chle," he shouted several
times. .
Five guests lettering in the
lobby listened in on the call
and concluded that it was
meant for them. They ac-
costed the boy, who explained.
Then they joined the pinochle
players and in a few minutes
the game was in full swing.
