Actual Records That Speak for Themselves.
While many know that the NORTHWESTERN pays large dividends, still they do not really realize what aBIGr DIFFERENCE there is between
]( S dividends and those of other companies. For this purpose we give some comparisons of Actual Policy Results of the Northwestern and some of its
leading competitors.
A DECIDED DIFFERENCE.
Two Policies of .$10 : 000 Each.
Mr. Erickson Perkins, Banker, of Rochester, N. Y. insured his life in 1879, in two companies on the or
dinary life plan $10,000 in each. All dividends have been taken as •‘additPnV’ to the polichs, with the

Additions by double dividends.
Usual double dividend end ot fifth year.
Mr. Soboolfield would have saved $1,638.03 to date if he had placed all his insurance in the Northwestern.
During- the twenty one years Mr. Perkins has paid the NORTHWESTERN Slid.20 more than he has paid the Mutual Life, but his Dividend Addi
tions in the NORTHWESTERN are nearly three times as much as they are in the Mutual Life. If he had taken both these policies in the Northwestern
he would have had additions amounting to $9,232 instead of $6,488 as it now stands.
The above record is a splendid showing for the NORTHWESTERN. Its dividends have added $4,616 of full paid additions to this policy, which is
S722 more than he has paid out, while the Mutual Life’s additions are less than half as much as he has paid that company. Mr. Perkins lost $2,744
!)v dividing his insurance with the Mutual Life. Mr. Schoolfield lost $1,638.03 by dividing his with the Equitable and New York Life. These two men
lost 84,3824)3 by not placing all the above insurance in the Northwestern Mutual, the Largest Dividend Life Insurance Company in America.
The records herewith given of the NORTHWESTERN dividends are not exceptional. We can give and will do so if desired, hundreds of comparisons
with all the leading companies and they would show the NORTHWESTERN’S superiority in the same way. We select the above records, because they
are the same kind of policies, taken by the same man at the same time and the dividends used in the same way.
This is the fairest test that could be made of the dividend paying ability of the different companies. There are numbers of men in this section who
are getting the same kind of dividends from the Northwestern, we would be only too glad to compare them with other companies.
^Northwestern Dividends are from 15 to 300 per cent greater than those of other Life Insurance Companies, For rates, particulars and for informa

Drink Your Soda Slowly.
Good soda should ho sipped. Quickly
(Irinl;ia;:' oft' the effervescence, which is
liH'ivly tonm, an interval of a minute or
1 should ho allowed before the last
half of the glass is taken. Clerks should
know tin-, and give customers time
virismt warning by looks or actions that
they are expected to leave in the shortest
possible order after bolting their soda
and paying for it. A glass of soda so
taken is a refreshing stimulus, better
than food in a very hot noon, but tossed
off as most people take it is a recipe for
cramps or indigestion.
If ii is poor soda, tasting of rnetal with
the silver worn off, or standing in silver
too long, flavored with sirups made from
or-mg 's or lemons whose musty taste is
plain to all refined palates, the less one
takes the better for life and health.
Girls who serve the cheap soda fountains
a' fancy stores well know this from ex
perience, and the old hands rarely touch
soda themselves. The girls behind the
counters who depend on soda to keep up
liioir strength through the close days in
jure their digestion by it, and perhaps
owe more of their sudden indispositions
to it than they imagine.—Shirley Dare
in New York Herald.
Where Mr. Curtis Learned to Write.
Whatever my style of writing may Ue,
it is the result of natural selection and
not of special design. The first author
vlio interested me deeply after “Robin
son Crusoe” and the usual children’s
t’ooks of fifty or sixty years ago was
it asliington frying. Then came Walter
Scott and Charles Lamb, Keats, Shelley
and Wordsworth, then Bacon and Emer-
so, h Burke and Carlyle, Thackeray and
Hawthorne. But rhetoric or composi-
tion I have never studied. My long con
nection with the press has been of the
utmost service to me as a writer. For
niaiiv years I have been the cliief editor
ial writer upon Harper’s Weekly, a
Paper which takes part in political dis
cussion, and the necessity of making my-
Ef *- r intelligible to the rapid reader in a
comparatively short space lias been prob-
ab '*y the best training 1 could have liad.
Fortunately I have no taste for what
seems to me the frequent extravagance
newspaper writing, and therefore I
have easily avoided it. Every young
writer should remember that bigness is
not greatness, nor fury force.—George
William Curtis.
Pedestrianlsm in Germany.
A German friend of mine (he is some
what of a humorist) was bantering mo
about the notorious aversion of Ameri
cans to walking, and lie remarked that
he had heard it said that the average
American did not walk more than a mile
a day. Of course I resented this gross
libel, and I asserted that the average
American thought nothing of starting
out for a walk of. five miles. I cited
with a good deal of pride the habitual
practice of Julian Hawthoi"£e of taking
a mere stroll of twenty or thirty miles
whenever he has a few moments to de
vote to exercise. I spoke, too, of your
townsman, Mr. Slason Thompson, editor
of The America, who is in the habit of
walking ten miles a day and running fif
teen or twenty more.
My friend thereupon became personal,
and ventured to intimate that I could
not walk five miles. Of course I accept
ed the challenge implied, and, peacefully
doddering imbecile that I was, I actually
walked for four consecutive hours before
I learned (upon remonstrating with my
humorous friend) that a German mile
was equal to four and a half English
miles, and that in order to accomplish
the feat I had undertaken I should have
to cover twenty-two and a half miles.
Germany would he a veritable para
dise, methinks, for Julian Hawthorne
and Slason Thompson. They would be
elected to the reickstag at the first con
gressional election.—Eugene Field in
Chicago News.

Hie complaint of the magazines indi
cates the outgrowth on one side of those

invaded privacy point to another over
flow, and other bxirstings of limits are
heard from in other directions. The

Information for the Boy.
The instruction that nursemaids are
able to impart to the greedy young
minds that are given into their charge is
truly tearful and wonderful. As a
Coney Island boat was passing the Bar
tholdi statue a 5-year-old youngster was
moved to ask the Milesian lady who at
tended him:
“W'ot's that, Jane?”
“That's Liberty,” quoth Jane.
“W'ot's Liberty?” he asked again.
“W’y, just Liberty. Don’t you know
w’ot Liberty is?”
“W’ot’s Liberty?” he insisted.
“W’y, you goose,” instructed his
teacher, “Liberty is—w’y it’s—Free
dom. And now you know, don’t you?”
And of course he did. Just wait until
somebody asks him.
There was more of the same kind from
the same source.
“W’ot’s those, Jane?” he asked again,
with significant finger at the life pre
servers overhead.
“Them’s life preservers,” said Jane.
“W’ot are they for?”
“They’re for when you fall in the
water and get drowned,” she informed
him, “and when you do they make you
float.”
“After you're drowned?” asked tne
“Oh, yes. I do wish you'd keep still
and not'ask so many questions, you bad
boy.” , „
But he didn’t.—New York Evening

Question?
for Women
Are you nervous?
Are you completely exhausted?
Do you suffer every month?
If you answer “yes” to any of
these questions, you have ills which
Wine of Cardui cures. Do you
appreciate what perfect health would
be to you? After taking Wine of
Cardui, thousands like you have real
ized it. Nervous strain, loss of sleep,
cold or indigestion starts menstrual
disorders that are not noticeable at
first, but day by day steadily grow
into troublesome complications. Wine
of Cardui, used just before the men
strual period, will keep the female
system in perfect condition. This
medicine is taken quietly at home.
There is nothing like it to help
women enjoy good health. It costs
only $1 to test this remedy, which is
endorsed by 1,000,000 cured women.
Mrs. Lena T. Frieburg, East St. Louis,
III., says: “I am physically a new
woman, by reason of my use of Wine of
Cardui and Thedford’s Black Draught-”
