Dear Sir:-I have received notice
from your company that the dividend
on nv policy this year is SIS. 80; and
feel that it is my duty to write you just
how much | am pleased with this re-
suit. My first premium was $1,000 on
a five thousand dollar policy, and by
using the dividend this year as part
payment it makes the second premium
1856 so.
| have had the protection of $4,000. 90
for death, and if | had been totally dis
abled the company would have paid the
premiums in the future and matured
the policy, or would have paid me an
income of $25OOO per year for twenty
years if desired.
| feel that the first thing to be con-
sidered IN an insurance policy is The
protection; but if it also combines a
good investment with the protection,
and the money paid for premiums is
saved for old age. itsthen becomes the
ideal way to save money.
Very truly yours,

NEW SPLIT-LOG DRAG.

George 0. Smith, the successful Carl
bou merchant. has invented new kind
of split log drag, which is said to be
greatly superior to the old kind. 1t con-
sists of three scoops or cross pieces,
which are hauled diagonally across the
road, each piece being two inches by
nine inches and faced with iron or steel.
1t is much lighter than the old form,
and is said to do much superior work.
The Caribou authorities had ordered
quite an addition to the number of their
regular split-log drags, but on the ad-
vent of Mr.. Smiths new drag they
changed the order, and are now having
them built according to Mr.. Smiths in
vention. We hope the Smith drag will
get down this way before long. Fort

CARNEGiE'S BENEFICENT PHiLAN-
THROPY.
A Pupil In the Boston Industrial School For
Bows to Receive Medal and $4,000 TOR
His Education

Pupil In the Boston Industrial School For
Bows to Receive Medal and $4,000 TOR
His Education.
EDITOR OF THE SHARON ADVOCATE:
The following incidents, the truth OF
which | can vouch for, furnish striking
example of the beneficent philanthropy
of Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, to whose WIS
dom and generosity the people OF this
town are so much indebted:
About sixteen months ago boy OF
fifteen, pupil in the Boston Industrial
School for Boys, the latest addition
to the scho 81 system of Boston, was skat-
ing on a pond near his home, when he
heard cries for help. Hurrying in the
direction of the sound he found two boys
struggling in the water in an open place.
Without removing his skates he plunged
in and IN spite of the weight of the skates
and his wet clothing and the Ice cold
water, managed to push the boys, one
at time, to the edge of the ice, where
other boys assisted in pulling them out.
He was then too exhausted and chilled
to pull himself out, but was finally rescu-
ed and hauled home on sled.
The master of the school, hearing of
the incident sent for the boy, and havin G
DedTu HIS SlOIy anu NCiiilSd viz AoSsoS
wrote an account of it to the Massa-
chusetts Humane Society and to the
Andrew Carnegie Hero Fund. In due
time, after the matter had been investi-
gated, the boy received from the Massa-
chusetts Humane Society medal for
bravery and check for SIS.
The master asked the boy what he
was going to do with the money. Hell
piled that he should give it to his mother,
who needed it. The master said he had
hoped that the boy would use this partl-
cular SIS to start a savings bank account,
and asked him to consult his mother
about it. Next day the boy reported
that the mother said he was to put 1T in
the bank: so the master went with him
to the bank, where his first deposit was
made and an education fund started.
Last week the boy received letter
from the Andrew Carnegie Hero Fund,
stating that after ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
lit had taken over year,, made on the
recommendation of the master, he had
been awarded a Carnegie Hero Medal.
That If he accepted it he should write
letter in his own hand, saying SO; where
upon, it would be ordered and sent as
soon as completed. The letter also went
on to say that the sum of 81, 900 had been
set aside for his education; that II he &C
cepted it he was to submit plan for his
education and that if this were approved,
the money would be paid out from time
to time as occasion required.
The boy and his mother lost no time in
visiting the master and expressing their
gratitude to him and to Mr.. Carnegie.
1t is fair to say that the Carnegie Fund
consulted with the master as to the form
which the award should take, and adopt
ed his suggestion that the boy should be
given an education.
The master of the Boston Industrial
School is my friend, Mr.. William c.
