MUTUAL INSURANCE
COMPANIES
Are Successful in Michigan.

Over 100 mutual insurance compa
nies are now operating in the State
of Michigan, and they have been so
successfully managed that no mutual
insurance company in the state has
failed during the past fifteen years. 1t
Is said these Companies saved their
members over million dollars each
year.
Under the present management most
mutual companies assess at the DSs;n-
ming of the year, which creates a sur
plus fund so that the companies are
able to pay promptly as the losses
occur during the year.
Under the mutual plan each member
Is protected as IL is the duty OF the
company to pay for the losses as pro-
vided for in the policy. On the other
hand, where one becomes a member OF
mutual company, he becomes bound
by the charter, bylaws and rules or
the society, and the member is liable
for his assessments occurring while
he is a member. The Supreme Court
of the State has passed upon this point
many times, and the law is now we'll
established.
1t is not often that a responsible
man will attempt to avoid the payment
Of his assessment after receiving his
benefits as a member, but the law is
clearly established SO that anyone de-
string to cancel his policy may do so
(after he has paid his assessment) by
sending in his policy.
These companies have succeeded best
where they have taken on a select
membership who pay promptly, and
the present showing indicates that the
companies of Michigan, which are
operating in the small towns and coun-
try districts, will have a successful
| year.-Adv.

calls this in his book, personal RecOl-
lections of Abraham Lincoln"
Mr.. Rankin was a schoOlbOy who
acted as court messenger at Peters
burg, ILL.,, while his father was sheriff,
when he first met Mr.. Lincoln, then a
rising young lawyer. Later he was a
student in the Lincoln and Herndon
law office in Springfield, admitted to
the family circle.
The picture of Mary Todd which Mr..
Rankin draws is a charming one.
Though not beautiful, she was decided
ly pretty, he says, with clear blue eyes
which looked through one, and mo-
bile face which was responsive to her
every thought. She was easily the
belle of Springfield during her resi-
dence there with married sister, her
own home being in Lexington, Ky. Her
family objected to Lincoln because Of
his humble parentage and his poverty,
and their engagement was broken off,
but two years later Mary Todd defied
the family opposition and welded the
man of her choice.
Mrs. Lincoln was not only attractive,
but she was cultured, Mr.. Rankin says,
and throughout her married life, at
least until the tragedy of the assassi-
nation, she kept up her French read
ing and other literary pursuits. Hers
was keen political perception
amounting to almost provision, too,
and her advice was that most carefully
weighed by Lincoln in his political and
public affairs.
All the world knows that when Lin
coin received the news of his nomina-
ton he said: "There is little woman
over on Eighth street who is deeply In
terested in this news; will carry 1t to
her." and he left his cheering, con-
graduating friends to hurry to his
home. Not so well known is the fact
that the happiest person in Springfield
was Mrs. Lincoln, and that she never
closed her eyes that night, for fear
she would miss some of the towns joy
over the honor done its brilliant son.
Mrs. Llncoln's terrible sorrow on
the death of the martyr drove her
abroad-"the lonellest of all the wives
widowed by the Civil war"-and she
was allowed to spend the last years
of her life "amid chilling neglect and
Misrepresentation" Mr.. Rankin says,
but he adds that when history shall
reflect the truth, in time to come If
II is not already here, "she will be
awarded the recognition her merits
have always deserved. Till then she
can wait; for, like her husband, she
belongs to the ages"

lifted them tenderly to his desk, and
for sometime watched their move
ments, as If pondering the greatest Of
all problems-the mystery of life. See
ing a loosening film over the eye Of
one of the kittens, he carefully wiped
ii away with his handkerchief, and,
as he placed the little fellow on the
floor again, said gently, "There, little
one, I've done for you what even your
mother couldn't do"
AS have time and again recalled to
my mind that incidental use Of the
word mother" have thought that at
that moment there must have come to
the president some recollection of the
delicate, hard-worked woman who had
toiled and struggled for her son, and
who yet in her poverty felt that she
could do so little for him. What the
word mother" meant to this man can
be inferred from his oft-quoted saying
to a friend: "All that 1 am, or hope to
be, l owe to my angel mother-bless-
ings on her memoryI7

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1s.-Fewer
