And this is in a Gov?jjb??nf?iu which the tax-pa??tffi&irs!?)ad no voice or rep resentation. For every wrong there must be a remody. And this with States as well as individuals.

The Wild Woman. Gebhartsville. Somerset county, Pa., clkims the sensation of the weeks. It has a genuine, simon-pure wild woman, almost as nude as was Eve after the fal I/for she wears only an apron of leaves, sandals of bark, and a necklace of tea-berries. Swift as a doe, people have rarely been able to see her features distinctly in her visits to the neighboring farm houses and out-skirts of' the village ; yet those who have seen her declare that she is far from uncomely in per ron and countenance. Pier oval face is set with keen black eyes, ami framed in long masses of flowing black hair; ami with her tall, slen der figure, she has I he air of tile queen of the forests. Like most women, she has a great dread of men, and bonds away over fences and lields whenever one atteints to ap proach her. Yet she is consistent, and avoids in like manner too great familiarity with wemen. For children, "however, she seems to" have a'gre?t fonduess, as was c.x emplifiod only a ic-w days past. While gassing near thc house of a farmer she espied ai lii'tl? girl three or four years old, playing in the road. Crouching, she crawled be hind a fence until within a short dis-: tance-of the child, ;.then, with a ; bound, cleared the fence, in the next moment seized the screaming little }-enera?d-was away at the top of ber speed.

In other words, carefully and prudently-managed Companies charging -"Mutual" rates have been able to r?jttmtoitfteirp?bcyhcfiders from 25 to 30 percent, of .the; amouijtdfiarged for premiums. When Life Insurance Companies1 were first organisedptbq -reliability of the data noon which the premiums were constructed h?d not underdone the" test of experience, l it was thought, therefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums, which would, ;iri any event, meet all the presumed and unforeseen contingencies of th? business. . 1 . "' ,; . )VA A\ As long as the matter was involved in some doubt, it was better to fix the rate too high than.to incur the risk.of m?king it too low ; beeause.'in thelormer case, the error could be easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to the policyholders, ai certain intervals,. such, portion of .the premium charged as. was found unnecessary 'tor. the purposes of'.thebusin?ss^nd the complete security of the Company. ? : ?- ' "Experience, however, having satisfactorily demonstrated that these ratee -ire exces sive, what possible excuse can there be for maintaining them ? ., Availing themselves ?f;thi8 experience; the Directors and Managers of the Universal Life Insurance Company, at its organization, adopted a scale of premiums in accor dance therewith*'and'wh?ch' has proved to be fair and adequate? and all that was. necessary to meet the requirements of the business. These premiums'are'about'tweaty 'fivje per cent. loweFtfian those charged by. Mutual Companies. It also appeared, inasmuch as the rates so established were-as near as could possibly be ! determined- fair rates, and not in exegss of what Insurance has previously, coif the . [Policyholders in Mutual Companies, that any profits arising from prudent manage m?nt'-justly and properly belonged to the stockholders -cf the Company, for the*psk incurred by them iii qndertaking'the business. . ... ?1. Experience has shown that there are sources of profit in the practice of the business fsrHich theory wjUinof'adraitiof being considered as elernent? m the .calculation of the premiums. These results frcm a saving in the mortality of the members of a Com pany owing to the medical selection of good lives, again in interest on;t~i? investments of !tne Company dvev ?l?at assumed in the calculation bf'its premiums, the'profits derivable from the lapsing and surrender of.Policies by the members, and from other minor sources. Profits from these sources, in a Company possessed of a capital of $200,000, and do ing a fair amount of business, would give to the stockholders dividentis larg?ryii?1 ex cess of what were counted on .by the Directors of the Universal\&\ the time of its organization. They haver therefore, determined, to divide among the policyholders of [ the Company a.large part of the profits accruing fromtiie source^ named, alt of which I have heretofore been "divided among the stockholders. The plan adopted for such division is.as follows : Every person.who may hereafter insure with the Universal will, for the purposes of division, be treated as a stockhol der to the extent of one Annual Premium upon his Policv ; and will share in Ote profits ?of ?he Company to precisely the sameextent'as a Stockholder owing an equal amount of ?he capital slock. By this-system of/Insurance, original with thc Universal, the policyholder secures the fellowing important advantages : FIRST. Lisurance at Oie regular"" Stock" rates, requiring a primary''outlay of about twenty Ao ihirly pan eenl .less, thain that cliarged by Mutual Companies, ana which is equivalen' to ? yearly " dividend" paid in advance of that amount on mv.tual rates. This ow cost of insurance is worthy of attention. Since its organization .this Company has received in premiums from its policyholders the sum of $1,517,000. ' To effect the same amount of insurance in a Mutual "Company would have cost them an initial outlay of $2,000,000. By allowing its policyholders to retain in their own pos session this excess of $483,000, the Universal has virtually paid them a " diudend" of $483,000, and paid it, too. in advance, instead of at the end of one or more years. It; is 'inpossible io find any example of a. Mutual Company furnishing insurance at_,so low a cost by returning to its policyholders an equal amount upon similar receipts. ~ bf premium, must necessarily secure to the policyholders every possible advantage to be derived from prudent and careful management. 'the low rates of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation, ^uarantee to the policyholder his insurance at a rate which is not' in?&xcess of tne cost , iii well managed mutual companies ; while, by the proposed plan of participation in j what may be considered thc legitimate profits of the business, the cost will be still further diminished. . Thus by thc combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in the profits it is confidently believed that the UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance at its lowest practicable cost. Jf?C* Those of the existing Policyholders who desire to participate in the. Profits under thc new Plan can db so" by making appHWriop-to tjie . liead Office, or to any- of the Agents of the Company.
