Tiny Bouquet Of Pansies Symbol Of Gratitude and
 LoUe For Dead Senator

 Tt is all have. he said. "The sen ator was my friend. So often he came to my assistance. I feel so all alone. 1 have come to say word and to bring these"
 Into the hand of Mrs. Lund, the senator's daughter. he put the flowers. She was so moved by the sincerity of the negrois offering that she bore it into the room where the senator's remains were reposing. She placed the panses next to the splendid de- sign which Senator Underwood had sent. And the pansies, well protected en route, were moved with the body from Washington to Jasper and there yesterday, one might have observed them smiling unostentatiously from the midst of it's more luxuroius cousins.
 A card was attached to the negro's flowers It read;
 ITO serve him was favor to honor him now a privilege.
 It is not known whether Brown found the line in an old book of mem- ory gems or whether it came as re- suit of inspiration born of his sudden grief and sense of loss.

Al O'Clock In the Morning

A certain man, who held a reputation among his friends for thrift and shrewdness, was once about to undertake a journey to a distant great city.
 Along with his rail- way ticket, he provided himself, of course, with an accident insurance policy; but, just as he needed mileage only for a certain distance, he felt that his insurance would be useful to him merely for a limited time.
 He therefore bought a policy to expire ap- proximately with the hour of his return.
 He arrived in his home city about mid night, and took a car for home. Swinging off at the familiar corner, he ran across the lawn towards his door.
 But during his ab- sence a bare spot on this lawn had been dug up and seeded, and a low wire netting spread about the place. Trip ping over this, the man fell and broke an ankle
 but his policy had lapsed an hour before.
 Accident and Health Insurance is one of the most popular kinds of protection written to- day. It carries all the usual benefits and pro- visions covering acci- dent, and in addition, provides weekly pay, ments through a lengthy period in case the in sured is ill through any cause.
 This policy is written every day by Trustees System Insurance Agen. cy, 2024 First Avenue; and any one seeking any other kind of insurance will find there full in. formation and efficient service to meet his needs.
