Phases Of AItraSsnp

A man who insures his life for a million
dollars may be called considerate for others.
To obtain this pleasure costs $4,000 year,
bird in the hand that many would prefer to the
indulgence Of testamentary generosity. But
The dominant stock holder in the Chicago Ma
tional league base ball club went beyond this
the other day, when he paid $4,000 for one
year on the ordinary life plan. He said some
thing worth more than million If all to whom
the remark applies will take his friendly hint.
After he had been searchingly examined by
eight physicians. representing ~ companies,
and found to be an excellent risk, he was asked
how he had maintained such an exceptional
physical condition. He replied that the things
liked in life took place in the early part of the
day and not late at night" If all for whom this
observation contains a moral would give
penny for the thought the total would prove
Ms. Wrigley's altruism to be notable. He must
die before his million insurance can be dstrib-
uted, and his kindly admonition is thrown in
for immediate benefit, and IS as well expressed
as IL poor Richard had turned the sentence.
IN addition to this, Mr. Wrigley takes his
recreation IN our national game, form OF ply
seal culture familiar to nearly all our victori-
Gus soldiers and sailors. II, as has been said,
the battle Of Waterloo was won in advance on
the cricket fields Of England. the American
boys who smashed the German flank in France
with their aggressive tenaety, had fine start
on the diamond courses Base ball is more in
tense than cricket.
Altruism IS much at the front, and this ex-
ample suggests its many sides.-SL Louis
