THE NEW POLICY

The Northwestern Mutual Life Insur.
ance Company in preparing its new poll
cies has aimed to protect, to the fullest
extent consistent with the interests of all
its members, the rights of the insured
and beneficiaries; to prevent, as far as
possible, loss to the policyholder in con-
sequence of sickness, forgetfulness or
financial inability to pay premiums as
they become due; to furnish something
more than indemnity for the loss of the
protector of the family by charging the
scope of the beneficiary provisions, and
to facilitate the adjustment of desired
changes incident to circumstances and
conditions not foreseen at time of appIi-
cation.

THE DUTIES OF LIFE

Though there may be other objects,
this is true, that the life work of every
man consists largely in caring for those
dependent upon him and accommodating,
if possible, a competency for old age.
Some fail to provide even during their
lives for those whose dependence they
have created. Others support their de-
pendents for short time, but, dying
without insurance, leave their wives and
children to struggle for themselves. Still
others, provide we'll for their dependents
during long and useful life only to find
themselves alone in helpless old age,
dependent ON the charity of strangers.
Some form of life or endowment insur-
ance will be found invaluable to every
man in faithfully discharging those du-
ties of life the performance of which
called forth the words, "Well done,
thou good and faithful servant"

Game In Canadian Rockies.

Moose are found in large numbers on the flats around the headwaters of the Kootenai and Columbia rivers. They are usually large and beautiful. There are mountain lion, wolves, elk, deer, lynx and all sorts of small game in the Canadian Rockies, says an ex- change, but more hunters come for mountain sheep and goats than for other hunting. The big horn sheep, ap- preciating the protection afforded by the park, are sometimes a little diffi- cult, but they are increasing rapidly, while in all other parts of the conti- nent they are dying out. The goats, too, seen on clear days like specks of moving snow on the mountain sides, from the vel" ndas and terraces of the Banff Springs hotel, are increasing.
