THE YEAR 1915
for Northwestern National Life

Our friends will remember that a year ago we gave
some figures showing large increases made by this Com
pany in 1914. which was a most enviable record. and we
are now pleased to say that 1915 was even better than
1914, and shows the following results:
Insurance in force ..........t.'.l9 cre iV|o
Assets 1915 Increase lbR
Surplus and Contingent Funds .....1915 increase 26fd
Dividends for Policyholders in 1916. Increase 27@
The annual statement shows over $35,0OO,00O of
Insurance In force; assets nearly 100000; surplus
over 100000.
We wish to call particular attention to the rapid in
crease in dividends paid to policyholders annually. For
the past several years the dividend paid on the regular
20 pay life policy, for instance, has been about $50 more
than the amount paid on the same policy the year pre-
yious. This rate of increase in dividends is not equaled
by any Life Company at the present time, with CORE
spending rate OF increase in Assets and Surplus, and 1t is
an especially commendable fact, that Notwithstanding the
large increase in dividends paid, the company is still able
to add greatly each year to Assets and Surplus. That is
the test-to increase earnings and pay larger dividends,
thereby providing lower net cost insurance, and still grow
stronger every year, and the Northwestern National Life
is meeting the test.
1t will pay you to look into this with us-there are
good and sufficient reasons why you should put your
money into the pilicies issued by this splendid company.

EPISODE XIV.

A sense of something big impending stirred the spectators and the jury alike, and the Judge himself, keenly alive to that new note in Langdon's voice, turned deliberately in his chair as Daniels began his testimony.
 Everyone in the room leaned for ward, tense with excitement.
 MT. Daniels began Langdon with no preliminaries Ion the night of the banquet you walked with Miss Page past the door of the gray suite, did you not?"
 1T did"
 Did you know that Mr. Pollock was in there?"
 No. But as I passed I heard his voice."
 Could you hear what he said ?'
 Yes"
 What was it?" like shells from a gun.
 He said, Let's understand each other once and for all on this thing I've got you, and got you good. can send you up tomorrow if I want to. You've no more chance than a snowfall in h. '' Did anyone answer him?'
 Yes. A man said, You'll make that threat once too often, Dave Pol lock. I'll make you eat your words at the point of a gun some day.
 Then I heard Dave laugh contemp- tuously and had to walk on towards the banquet"

PLAY AT LYCEUM
 DEPICTS MAINE LIFE

It is doubtful if the Alfred Cross play than "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" with which they are meeting with great success this week. Pri- marily this is a child's play, a play of laughter and tears of smiles and sobs, but it carries greater attributes. It has the faculty, for one thing. of bringing. grown-ups out of the land of reality into the valley of make-be lieve And that in itself is it's great est point.
 Miss Julie Herne as "Rebecca' is seen in one of the roles that fits her best Not only does she look the part of a young girl in her teens, buts she acts: which is better. Miss Herne has been meeting with wonder full approval all week. Her work in this play even surpasses that of '"The Blindness of Virtue' in which she was supposed to excell. But there is no 1 telling where the versatility of the i leading lady Of the Alfred Cross l players ends. By her charm and l coyness she has won the hearts of 1 New Britain theater-goers until to-
 day she ranks as the most popular
 actress who ever trod the boards in 1 tnlS clLy.
 Alfred Cross as Adam Ladd, whom the little girls in "Rebecca of Sun nybrook Farm" refer to as MT. Alladin.'' because of his propensity l for doing things pleasing to child hood, has a part that is somew hat l similar to his work in '"The Prince Chap" when he scored such a suc-
 cess. Florence Hart, too is starring 1 this week as the wife of the village 1 blacksmith, the woman who has noth ing to do but to attend to the busi-
 ness of the village and let her own l work lag. Philip Sheffield. Frederick l Smith, and William Ennis are the l three other male actors in a cast given over almost entirely to women l Mrs. Adelaide Hubbard, Miss Win- fred Wellington, Miss Jeanette Hib-
 bard, Miss Dorothy Munigle, Miss
 Anna Bray, Miss Grace Wainwright
 and Mrs. Ada Spissell are the &C.,
 tresses who hold the main thread
 of the wonderful story of "Rebecc1 of Sunnybrook Farm" It is a play of Maine life and worth going miles to see

single attractive mannerism. That's the chief trouble with her"
 In still worse case is the person with actively unattractive manner isms.
 He's a Perfectly Good Man But He
 Will Clear His Throat.
 know a perfectly good man who is summed by people who would otherwise come to know and like him because he has a painfully disagree able mannerism. He constantly clears his throat, not because of any organic trouble there, but because he has fal- len into that habit.
 Unfortunately we canot say, GO to. we will have pretty mannerisms." A deliberately acquired mannerism is no longer a mannerism, it becomes an affectation, and affectations, as every one knows, are not pretty.
 But one can at least rid ones self of disagreeable mannerisms. One can watch ones self for them. Get some one whose frankness you can forgive to tell you if you have any particular ly unattractive expressions. Listen to your own voice and laugh. Get rid of the unattraetive mannerisms and perhaps attractive ones will come in their place.
 With My Letter Friends.
 Question-WiH you kindly suggest outdoor work and means of obtain ing same to a teacher who needs regain nervous strength -S. Ii. M.
 Answer-I have sent this core spondent all the suggestions l could think of. Perhaps some of the big family of letter friends can give her some ideas through me.

The other day I met a man whom I had not seen since childhood I did not know that I was to meet him. There were several other people in the room and when I came into it he was standing with his back to me, looking out of a window. He had grown older (strangely enough) grey CT and much stronger, and l could not see his face. And yet I knew him in stantly.
 How?
 By a mannerism.
 He was twisting a certain lock of hair in just the way he had always done as a child at school. Would Have Known Him in Hong
 Kong.
 If I had been in Hong Kong or Alas ka and had seen a man twisting a lock of hair in just that way should have known it was he.
 How much the mannerism does make the man, or woman.
 Many things, little in themselves, are big in their effect on others-and a mannerism is one of them. She Hasn't Any Attractive Mannerisms
 '"The trouble isn't that she is so plain," I heard a man say the other day of a woman who seems to be singularly lacking in attractiveness; tits because on top of not being par ticularly pretty she hasn't any at tractive mannerisms. Some girls who aren't pretty are charming, because they have pretty mannerisms, fas- cinating smile, a quaint way of hold ing the head, a pretty laugh, some graceful gesture-and she hasn't a

BIG BILL FARNUM
 HEADS FOX'S SHOW

Judging from the crowded houses which greeted Big Bill Farnum, the $1OO,OOO William Fox star at the var ious performances yesterday at the local Fox theater where he is appear ing in "A Man of Sorrow" the popu- larity of this screen star is on the in crease As usual he thrilled and de- lighted the vast crowd of admirers in his latest vehicle which is a story of love, hate and intrigue founded on the famous stage classic HOOdman Blind." Under the new policy "A Man of SorrOW' will be shown but once this evening and that at S:30 D m. Pearl White in '"The Iron ClaW,' the Paramount Bray Cartoons and several other single reel photoplays of excep- tional merit round out a pleasing and diversified program that will surely please the most fastidious patron.
 Tomorrow ushers in the Paramount attra of Mae Murray in ITO Have and To Hold,'' a magnificent photo play in five acts, William s. Hart in ''HelIs Hinges" and Willie Collier in a two reel Keystone comedy His Wife and Auto Trouble.''
 Risks taken in the production of "Hells Hinges" are said to have been greater than in any play ever offered to the public by Producer Thomas H Ince of the Triangle forces. In all, more than 500 people appeared in the play during the making of the scenes In the narrow streets of the western village-a town which was patterned after the notorious Virginia City ot the early seventies-the women and men, some mounted, some on foot fought and struggled during the bat tie that ragged while the town was burned. Many genuine rescues were made during the fire, which totally destroyed the thirty-fve houses an6 stores in the town.

 II thought I did. That's why I left the banquet-room and came back to listen at the door. I was startled when l heard Miss Pages voice in- stead of the one I expected
 ''Whose voice did you think it was 9"
 That of man named Shale. Dawes jackaP we used to call him."
 MT. Daniels, do you know of any reason why Mr. Pollock should threaten to send this man Shale 'up'?"
 Well, Pollock told me once that he had got the goods on Shale for some shady work that would easily send him to prison, and that he kept him out of jail because he was useful ,
 MT. Daniels, have you seen Mr. Shale since the death of MT Pollock ?'
 'Yes, T. have"
 When? ."
 'The-the-day before I came back home, I ran into him on the street. We had talk, and he told me that he thought he could get me fresh backing for The Covington."
 Did he see you again ?''
 Yes. A few days ago he came to me and told me that a syndicate had been formed and had raised the money to put on a musical comedy and that I was to be manager of the theater and look after the financial interests of the syndicate. He was very nice to me-
