THE PACIFIC MUTUAL Life Insurance Cnmpany of California Organized 1868 on "Old Line" Plan. Read what one who is recognized au thority on the subject, has to say: "Of late the magazines and daily papers have had much to say by way of criti cism of certain Life Insurance Compa nies, and especially with regaid to the Legal Organization of such Companies, and of the manner of their control. These CRITICISMS do not apply to Thel 'Pacific Mutual, but I)EMON STRATE the Truth of the Assertion that "for POLICY-HOLDERS The Pacific Mutual has the BEST Legal organization." It is not controlled by ONE or Two men, having no pecuniary interest or responsibility save as policy holders, or recipients of salary; But it is controlled by a BOARD of fifteen Directors, not mere dummies, but Stock holders in their own right, holding a large amount of the Company's stock, and Policyholners as well. The Direc tors of the Company are men of high Financial and Commercial standing, and are by LAW made RESPONSIBLE for the acts of the Officers of the CORPO RATION. "The Company has a capital stock of $b,:h000 Fully paid up in GOLD coin, but while this Capital and the Stock holders' responsibility afford to Policy holders the GREATEST possible Secur ity, it Costs participating Policyholders NOTHING, but every dollar paid into the Company by them and the ACCU MULATION thereon, is applied to their BENEFIT. There is no Other LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY trans acting business in America whose Pol icyholders, by Legal enactment, are so Safe-guarded as are the Policyholders of The Pacific Mutual."

Fairbanks spenit an hour at the capitol Tuesdav selecting a $50) inkstand, which will be used by Mr. Fairbanks on his desk in the senatt: chamber for the next four years. when it will be taken by him as a souvenir. The government pays for the inkstand in accordance with an established custom that the vice president shall be thus honored. A number of designs were submit ted by different jewelers, the one accepted being from Tiffany. of New York. The design is for a double ink.well of magnificent cut glass. wi:h solid gold lids. replicas of the capitol dome. with all details carefully worked out. The glass wells will be imbedded in a massive solid silver shield, with the national coat of arms worked out on it. The racks for pens will be of solid gold. also handsomely chased and modeied. Some -of the former vice presidents have had nore expensive ink wells. Vice president Hobart had one cos-. ing $&o and Levi P. Morton's cost $6oo. These are paid for out of the contingent fund of the senate. Richard Barry, the adventurous young California correspondent with the Japanese forces, tells some amus ing stories of the trials and tribula tions of his colleagues at the seat of war. It appears that, shortly after the beginning of hostilities, there were a number of American correspondents in a position of north Manchuria still held by the Russians who were verv anxious to secure from the St. Petersburg government permission to accompany the troops southward. This permission was denied, and no tification given the correspondents in a body. "We think you are making a great mistake." said one of the correspondents to the officer who had read his government's telegram. "Possibly," returned the polite Rus sian, with a smile; "but I don't see how it can be helped." At this juncture a rash young man from Chicago interjected with: "It seems to me that your govern ment is taking a big chance with us. Suppose we should collectively an'd individually advise our publications to refrain from advertising your old war?" Bristles Were Not Included. One of the ablest lawyers and advo cates New England ever produced was Roger Minott Sherman, who'was also famous for the quickness of his wit. A story which fully illustrates Sherman's powers of repartee is quoted by the late Senator Hoar in his book entitled "An Autobiography of Seventy Years." On one occasion Sherman was arguing a case against Nathan 'Smith, a very able 'but rather coarse lawyer. Mr. Smith had discussed the question of law with the subtlely for which he was distinguished. Mr. Sherman said to the court that he thought Brother Smith's metaphysics were out of place in that discussion; that he was not averse to such refinment at a proper time and would be willing on a fit oc casion to chop logic and split hairs with him. Smith immediately pulled a 'hair out of his own head, and holding it up. said. "Split that." "Sherman replied quick as lighting: "May it please your honor, I didn't say bristles." "Raise Cain and Holler." District A'ttornney Jerome, of New York, visited Philadelphia not long ago, and delivered a lecture for the benefit of the men who are trying to reform the politics of the Quaker City. At the conclusion of his dis course, which was eminently practi cal, one of the local reformers went up to him and said, with the air of a man who was about to put a poser: "Your remarks were very interest ing, but what would you do if what is known as the 'organization' was composed of the machines of both The pugnacio:is dis-rict attorney fom New Y'rk dlid not pause to hi :i:. bm exclaimed: 'RTje h,as and brEller murder."
