which each employee is required to do up to his 65th birthday, you vii! likewise be entitled to 31a % of the total wages earned by you between now and your 65th birth day. These percentages are paid in lump sums.
 You will not be tied to one job or to one place; you may work as a miner today and as bank clerk next week; you may put in a year in the South picking cotton, loaf around the next ten years and then go to work on a dredge at Nome for six months; just as long as you work at least one day in each of five different years and earn not less than $2,00000 before you reach 65 you are entitled to your monthly benefits. One more thing you must do before they are paid to you-you must retire; if you &C., cept employment after you reach 65 years, then you will be docked one months benefit for each cal- endar month during which you &C., cepted employment. The theory of this is that old people should re- tire and make room for the young CT generation.
 Payment Upon Death i If an individual dies before re- eeiying any benefit payment, that is, if he dies before attaining the age of 65, there is paid to his estate 31s95 of the total wages earned by him between. January | 1887, and the date of his death. l If an individual dies after he has received some benefit pay ments, that is after he attains the age of 65, then his estate is en- titled to 31ae6 of the total wages earned by such individual iubse- quent to December 31, 1886, less the amount of benefit payments received by him during his life | time.
