James Hightower. He was caught by

Col. Watterson of the Louisville
Courier Journal has discovered a new

view of the constantly declining earn

asked, What is to become of our mill

one but they might try resigning. If
they hand in their resignation prompt
ly, their places can still be fliled.*’

American firms are making one third
of the manufactures of tbe world “In

is reason enough why she should have

with her customers abroad as with her

The .Birmingham Ledger says: It is

Joseph Wheeler, of Alabama, may be

Such things have happened before
this. President Hayes gave a seat in
bis cabinet to Judge Key, of Tennes
see, a democrat, and President Cleve
land gave a seat in bis cabinet to
Judge Gresham, a republican. It is
very probable that General Wheeler
would accept Che seat if it were ten

He has a life cinch on the seat in con

SHADOWS ON THE WALL.
When the room Is tidy,
Toys are put away,
Byes are growing sleepy.
Bkies are turning gray.
Cornea the children's clamor
- As they round me throng,
fairy lore's exhausted, •
Bung each nursery aong.
In tbe mellow lamplight
Hushed their voices all,
Whilst they watch me making
Mhadowaen the walll
Through the happy alienee
Bings their laughter low
As upon the wall there
Shadows some and go.
Nurse, unseen, unheeded.
Watches from the door,
Whilst the children's voice*
Head for just one morel
One by one they leave m*.
Till I alt alone,
Seeing in the twilight
Shadows of my own.
Long forgotten fancies,
Dreams in olden guise.
Till from heart to eyelids
Tears, unbidden, rise.
Happy, happy children!
Time has joys for all;
Only some are fleeting

Genoral Chaffee's Way of Giving a
Recruit Confidence.
A youth of 18wbowa* in the trench
es nt El Coney carrying a gun was so
badly frightened under fire that be
want flat on his face and wei ronndly
kicked by his companions. Geowal
Chaffee came along and called to him,
“Well, you’re a fine aoldierf” Then be
looked at the boyish face of the kid,
and his face softened. “I suppose you
can’t help it,” he said. “It ain’t so
much your fault I’d like to get hold
of tbe fellow that took you into the ar
my.” By and by he put his hand on
the boy’s shoulder. “There isn’t so
much danger as youthink for,’’raid
the general. "Now, you get up and
take yofir gun and fight, and I’ll stand
here by you.”
The boy got up, shaking like a leaf
and fired hie first shot pretty near
straight into the air.
“That’s pretty high,” said the gen
eral. “Keep cool and try it again.”
In three minutes that kid was fight
ing like a veteran and cool as a cucum
ber, and when he saw it tbe general
started on. I
“You’re all right now, rod boy,” he
said. “You’ll make a good soldier. ”
“God bless you, sir,"said the young
ster. “You saved me from worse than
death. ” And be was pretty close to cry
ing when he said it.
After a while tbe order came to re
tire from tbe trench, and soldiers bad
to collar that kid and haul him away
by the neck to get him to retreat with
hi&company. And at that he’d got a
bullet through the fleshy part of his
shoulder an hour before. In tbe rest of
the fights there wasn’t a better soldier
in the company.—Chicago Journal.
Theatrical “Props.”
Props comprise all the portable arti
cles required in a play. Guns and pis
tols—which too often fail to go off t
the critical moment—are props; loav
of bread, fowls, fruit, all made of
rough papier mache, are also prop* We
may also include those wondrous gilt
goblets, only seen on the stage, which
make such a nonmetallio thud when
they fall and bounce upon the boards,
as among the achievements of the prop
erty man.
But it is at pantomime time that that
individual is at his busiest. Big masks
and make believe sausages and vegeta
bles, without which no pantomime
would be complete, are mingled with
fairy wands, garlands of artificial flow
ers, basket work frames for the accom
modation of giants and other articles
too numerous to mention.
How the right things are forthcom
ing at the right moment is one of those
mysteries only known to property men.
Had one of these useful members of tbe
theatrical world the ability and inclina
tion to write a book what an entertain
ing volume oould he turn ontl—Cham
bers’ Journal.
Original if Not Accurate.
This, says Tbe Scottish Leader, is a
genuine extract from a schoolboy’s re
cent “Ejsay on Nelson:”
“Oh! Harding; kiss me again,“were
the butefull words of a her oik mortal
who won a grate battle with one eye
and a wooden leg. Before the bloody
context this motto was uttered by him.
“The queen expects every man to do his
duty.” When he died the queen met
him in a boat and he went to St. Paul’s
and was buried. This is a marvelous
i lesson to me and all schoolboys. Do
your duty to your parstore and masters
and then even with a single leg you can
. say, “with this simple thing I will do
my duty.” As Nelson himself said,
' “Eventhough you are only man you
can do your duty.”
Human Nature.
“You know,” said the collector
rather plaintively, “you said that you
1 would pay me if I came today. ”
i “Well,” answered Mr. Bildew, “yotv
must bear in mind that human natm<n
' is human nature. The best of us
times say things that we are sorry for. ”

THE
MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO.
OF NEW YORK.
Breaks The Dividend Record.
It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa
ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the. particulars
of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in
stance eclipsed all previous dividend results:
Mr. Banks was insured for • •'15’222 22
The dividends amounted to. 7. ..lifms.w
Paid to the estatesl7,o2B.oo
How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and
he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi
dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these
for his benefit. Here are the particulars:
Policy No.
Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan.
Original insurance in 1845,
Dividend additions paid in 1898,* .M/lzo.w
Amount of death claim
54 Premiums paid by insured
Realized to estate over premiums paid SB.BBB 00
Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (W P®
cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,000
at aue 40. to $17,028 at age 94. ’
The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums
i paid for the insurance.
Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings
Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the
power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of
his method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy
holder in any other company in the world.
For best plans of insurance please consult me.
