Iameg J. Van Aien, the new ambas-
s*dor to Italy, is as swells chap as
er “served” a mushy tfnnis ball. His
life has been one of elegant leisure.
He was boro in the exclusive set and
inherited a fortune. Private tutors
trained bis jounff mind to the point
of fitting him for college. He was the
leader of tbe cada in his class, Asa
man hia genius found a field in the
itudy of English people and their cus
toms He is generally believed to be
the most thoroughly Eoglish-Ameri-
can in the Anglomaniac coterie. In
walk, talk, manners and dress he is
lord Fitznoodle. His home in New
port is an E iz&betb&n mansion.
Englishmen designed iiand English
artisans built it. Eaglish people are
employed to administer its affairs.
MostofVan Alen’n time has been
epent abroad. New York socially en
joys him for a few weeks each year,
lie is a Newporter by taste and has
taken part in all of the great society
doings at that resort of millionaires.
He i« very exclusive in his club life.
The elite Knickerbocker and the Un

town. He sails with the New York
Yacht club occasionally and “rides to
hounds” with the Me&dowbrook Hunt
club. He is also a member of the

to the campaign fund last fall, and in
return received a promise from Will
iam C. Whitney that he should have
tbe Italian mission. Two or three in-
finential Southerners wanted the
place, and for a time it looked as if the
anti-election promise would be ig

insisted that ‘ Van” should not be for

A mosquito which had just arrived
on one of the bay boats landed on the
nose of one of the party and was get
ting his or rather her dinner when
she was killed by a vicious swipe of
her viotim.
‘There’s another ’skeeter done for,”
remarked the murderer, with satisfac
tion. “He won t bother anybody else
in tiiis here vale o’ tears.”
‘‘She, not he, ’ corrected another.
‘Don’t you know that a he ‘’skeeter’
never bothers anybody? It’s the fe
males that make all the trouble in this
world, and that applies to ‘’skeeters’
just the same as it does to women. If
all ‘skeeters - ’ were hes we wouldn’t
have any trouble from them, just tbe
same as if all human beings were men

F f HAH MY LIFE TO
live over again I would
insure it. I would begin
at twenty-one. I would
take a life policy for tbe
benefit of my wife or my
mother or my sister or
somebody very near and
dear to me. If I was
poor I would insure for
$1,000, for that would
take only $9 twice a year.
Any young man could
pay that much and if he
died young the thousand dollars would
help his mother, or his wife, or his sis
ter so much.
Funerals are expensive nowadays,
and a poor man can’t afford to die un
less his life is insured. If a young
man who is getting from $50 to $100
salary, does not spend anything for
whisky or cigars, he oould safely take
a policy for $3,000 and pay $27 twice a
year. If he was twenty-five years old
it would cost him only $30 semi-an
nually- not as much as his cigars. If
his salary was $150 a month he could
afford $10 of it each month for insur
ance, and that would carry a policy of
$5,000. What a blessing that sun.
would be to the wife, or the mother,
or the sister.
I know a young man who carries
$10,000 for hi& father and mother. They
are old and poor. He supports them
out of his earnings, but fears he might
die before tsey do and then they would
be helpless. It he outlives them the
policy becomes his own.
Life insurance is tbe best savings
bank in the world for a young man.
He gets it so cheap. Now, here I am,
old and poor, and am carrying only
$2 000 on my life and it costs me $175
a year, and it is a hard struggle to
meet the premiums. I began only five
years ago. Too late, too late, but 1
must hold on until I whip the fight
I’ll whip it suie if I hold on, for old
Father Time is backing me. If I bad
begun at twenty-one or twenty-five
the premiums would have been about
$40 and the dividends would have
paid that long before this.
Heard a man say the other day that
he paid on $10 000 for twenty years
and now has a paid up policy and
draws dividends on it just like it was
stock in a bank. I wish I had done
that when 1 was a young man. Would-
ent it be glorious if I had sucn a doc
ument for my wife and the girls.
But if a young man seriously objects
to make money hy dying for it let bim
take out an endowment policy for
twenty or twenty-five years. It will
cost him about twice as much, but be
can, if he lives, walk up to the cap
tain’s office and call for his money and
do what be pleases with it. If he hap
pens to die before band bis wife or his
mother or his sister can draw it for
him. Every young man should take
out two policies if be can, one for life
and one on the endowment plan—one
for others and one for himself. It is a
comfortable thing for a man of forty-
five to have a paid up policy that is
drawing dividends. It is still more
comfortable for a widow or a sister or
a child to inherit both policies if he
should die before he expected to.
Insuring one s life for the benefit of
others is the most unselfish act that a
young man can perform. No selfish
or thoughtless young man will do it
it is like looking death square in tbe
face, but few young men will do that.
It is the next thing to getting reli
gion. It is a confession of mortality.
But death is a fact and if the young
man would stop aud think, he would
rake a business v : ew of it and leave
the religion out of the question. Let
b m ponder upon the fact that not
half of the men at twenty-five live to
be fifty—that half his life is already
gone, that the chances are against
him, that he will leave somebody be
hind him who has been dependent
upon bim and may suffer without him.
Then if he is a reasonable man be
must admit that he ought to insure
his life, while it cost so little, and not
wait UDtil it cost so much.
Why not? For forty-four years I
have insured my house and furniture
and no fire yet. The insurance com
pany has got all that money for good
and yet I have taken comfort all that
time. I have slept better at home
and felt better wheu abroad in know
ing that if a fire did come and destroy
my dwelling tbe loss would be made
good.
That fire may never come, but here
is a case where death is sure to come
—a death which in most cases of man
hood deprives the family of one of its
pillars perhaps its chief support, and
yet how few of tbe young married
men are carrying a policy for the wife
l and children. They are just going
\ it blind. It looks like defying fate for
a joung man whose onlv income is
, his wages to live a day without a pal-
icy. He can’t afford to.
Even tbe rich insure their lives as
an ;nyestme«4. In fact if 1 could
A BATCH OF CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
The grandest distribution of presents whioh The Sunny South has yet made.
It does not cost you one cent to seonre one of these valuable presents sinoe we absolutely rive them away freely
and cheerfully.
Every person who enters the contest will have an equal chance for one of the prises. The scheme is easy, plans-
ble and practical. Here it is:
How Many Grains In Two Pounds of Coffee ?
Everybody uses coffee, but how many people ever thought of the number of grains contained in two pounds of it
ail of our subscribers are invited to enter this guessing contest. The terms are as follows :
One guess will be allowed for each dollar sent in, the money to b8 credited to the subscription account of the
sender, if you subscribe for the paper six months and sand one dollar you oan enter one guess. If you subscribe a
year and send two dollars, you can enter two guesses.
In order to get an idea of the number of grains of ooffee in two pounds, it will be well for you to buy a pound of
medium size green coffee and count the grains. Of course two pounds will be just about twice that amount.
Tbe contest will close on the 15th of December, as we w&Qt time to get all the presents to those who win them by
Christmas day. On December 15th we will buy two pounds of medium size green ooffee, and will put it in the handa
of a committee, the ohairman of which will be Col. John H. Seals. This committee will count the grains and make the
awards.
Each guess will be entered as it is received, provided it is accompanied by one dollar for a six months subscrip
tion. Our subscribers will also be allowed one guess for each dollar of back dues paid in.
In the event two or more persons guess the same number, and suoh number wins a prize, tbe prize will be equally
divided between them.

make the laws I would require every
young man to take a policy for at
least $1,000 when he applies for a mar
riage license. If be couldn’t raise $18
or $20 to protect the girl he loved for
one year, he is not fitten to have her,
nor fitten to get fitten. If he begun
with a policy he would be very apt to
keep on. The ordinary should be pro
hibited from issuing a license unless
the policy was produced and was ap
proved by him. A young married
man has no right to die and leave a
widow and one or two children help
less. A policy of one or two thousand
dollars would be a good document to
court on.
Every man should pay bis own fun
eral expenses and not die a pauper.
There is a family pride about such
things and the parents or the widow
will sacrifice everything for the loved
one. The doctor’s bills, the drug bill,
the burial case, the burial lot, the car
riages, the hearse and the mourning
all cost money. A few months ago a
young man of our town died away
from home. His life was devoted to
his mother and his sisters, but it was
not insured aod the express charges
and other expenses have been a griev
ous burden. How easily he could
have carried a policy of $1 000, out of
which he could have been buried and
lefc a good sum for his widowed moth-
er.
I wonder how many of these travel
ing young men carry a policy for their
mother or their sisters. Filial love is
a sweet and blessed thing and the oc
casional visits of the boys to their
homes is a comfort and joy, but when
death comes untimely and unexpected
the bereaved oues can’t live on sor
row. I was ruminating about all this
became one of our boys has sent home
a duplicate of a policy that he ha*
taken our for the benefit of his sisters
He will keep if. alive as long as he
lives. He will do more. He will look
aft<-rand protect them when the pa
rents have passed away. That is a
parent’s great concern—what will be
come of tne girls—the unmarried ones
—when we are dead. Will they have to
1 ve in penury or acoept a home with
kiudrel—a home where they are per
haps not wanted and where the feel
ing of dependence is ever before
them. And, so I thought I would
write a letter and enconrage young
men who love their sisters to carry a
reasonable policy for their benefit. I
know many girls who have been to tbe
World’s Fair on a brother’s bounty
and that is all right, but it will be still
better to take a life policy for their
benefit and keep the premium punct
ually paid. Twenty-five years ago I
carried one in tbe old Knickerbocker
for the benefit of my wife, but the
company failed and 1 quit in disgust.
Bat they don’t fail now. There are
plenty of good companies solid as a
rock and there is no excuse. Stop
young man—stop and think and I
know that you will agree with me.
Let us all take care of the girls, mar
ried or unmarried, if they are "
or dependent. Bir*
