BEWARE THE POPULAR MAN
GOOD Fellow" Makes the Worst Kind
of Husband, According to
Sophisticated Widow.

A sophisticated widow, airing her
views in a New York paper. declares
that the good fellow. the clubable man.
makes the very worst kind Of husband
The type of man who is loved by men,
chiefly for his genial faults. is terror
to live with. says this lady, who Is
credited with considerable experience.
Such a man is quite incapable Of
self-study and of selfcriticism; he
knows the men like him and he can't
think why his wife doesn't. The man
who is popular with men. says this
lady, never gets on. either in business
or anything else. He takes pride In
being a good spender and he cultivates
the art of generously spending. to the
detriment of the art Of making. The
wife of such a man is forever anxious
about financial matters, usually neg
lected. invariably unhappy. And the
men are always so sorry for him. be-
ing tied to such a fussy wife.

CYCLONE SEASON NEAR
100000 Of Cyclone Losses In the
State Of Michigan In the Year 1918.

This Company paid out $4,000 of losses
in the year 1913. 1t has paid during the
past five years $3.50 losses and total Of
s435, 1853 to people who have had their
buildings wrecked in the State of Michi-
gan. The Company has about 10000 mem
bers, and $4,000, 900 of assessable capital.
The Company has made only six assess
ments in nineteen years; thirteen out of
the nineteen not a single dollar collected
by assessment from any member of this
Company. No assessment was made in the
year 1915, and yet the Company had on
hand January LIST, 1916, about $4,000 in
cash.
There are about one hundred mutual
companies in Michigan covering fire in
surance; they save the farmers of Michi-
gan about 81 200, 900 over the cost in stock
companies each year. The saving in
cyclone insurance is much greater. Be-
cause of our large membership with only
one overhead expense, mutual insurance
against cyclone, in our Company, on ac-
count of the low cost and efficient service,
has appealed to the farmers and business
men of every section of the State.
The many cyclones and tornadoes which
have ruined people in nearly every part
of the State should be warning to you.
Insure your property whether it be in
the city or country, in "a safe Company.
The cost of policy of $1,000 is only
$3.50.

for so long that I had forgotten such
smiles existed.
'Mr. Van Weyden!"
Wolf Larsen's voice brought me
sharply back to myself.
"Will you take the lady below and
see to her comfort? Make up that
spare port cabin. Put Cooky to work
on 1t. And see what you can do for
that face. It's burned badly"
He turned brusquely away from us
and began to question the new men.

of them called it bloody shame"

for me-" she protested, when l had
seated her in Wolf Larsen's armchair,
which had dragged hastily from his
cabin. "The men were looking for
land at any moment this morning, and
the vessel should be in by night; don't
you think so?"
Her simple faith In the immediate
future took me aback. How could |
explain to her this situation, the
strange man who stalked the sea like
Destiny. all that it had taken me
months to learn? But answered hon
.estly:

ours, should say you would be ashore
in Yokohama tomorrow. But our cap
tain is strange man, and | beg of
you to be prepared for anything. un-
derstand for anything"
'I-I confess | hardly do under
stand" she hesitated, perturbed but
not frightened expression in her eyes.
"Or is it misconception of mine that
shipwrecked people are always shown
every consideration? This is such a
little thing, you know. We are so
close to land"
"Candidly. do not know" l strove
to reassure her. 81 wished merely to

from the masthead.
There were swift commands on
deck, a stamping of feet and slap
ping Of reef-points as the Ghost shot
into the wind and about on the other
tack. AS she filed away and heeled,
the armchair began to slide across the
cabin floor, and l sprang for it just
in time to prevent the rescued woman
from being spilled out.
Her eyes were too heavy to suggest
more than a hint of the sleepy sur
prise that perplexed her as she looked
up at me, and she half stumbled. half
tottered, as | led her to her cabin.
Mugridge grinned insinuatingly in my
face as l showed him out and ordered
him back to his galley work; and he
won his revenge by spreading glow
ing reports among the hunters as to
what an excellent 'lydy's myde" was
proving myself to be.

CHAPTER XVII.

I came on deck to find the Ghost
heading up close on the port tack and
cutting in to windward of a familiar
spritsail close hauled on the same
tack ahead of us. All hands were on
deck, for they knew that something
was to happen when Leach and John
son were dragged aboard.

In the meantime Thomas Mugridge,

cabin and noted with a shock OF sur

was cutting, should have thought 1t

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of Sc
rious illness, makes chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that I'M
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary TO pay more attention to the
health of these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy is
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp-Root at once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in bot
ties of two sizes--50c and $l.00.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton. N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
