"Why," said the man, ?|IT1 stay and I toke some of your cows in pince of | money." "But what shall I do," said the former, "when my cows and oxen are all gone?" "Why, you can then work for mo and get them back." At a christening, while tho minister was making the certificate, he forgot | the date, and happening to say: "Let me see, this is the thirtieth?" "The thirtieth!" exclaimed the indig? nant mother; "indeed, it is only the eleventh." "Tell that man to take off his hat in court," said a jndge the other morning to an officer.

Insurance at Stock Raten, being from 20 to 30 per cent, leas thau thc rates charged by mutual companies. 2. Each Policy-holder is regardod as a Stockholder to tho extent of one Annual Premium on his Policy, and will share in tho Profits of the Company to thu binnu extent aa a Stock? holder owning an equal amount of the Capital Stock. 3. Every Polioy iaauou by the Compauy ia uou-forfeitable, and contains a (clause stating its exact Surrender Value. Before insuring your life or accepting the agcucy of any company, HEAD THIS FOLLOWING! A lengthened experience baa demonstrated that tho rates of premium ordinarily charged by lifo insurance companies are from twenty-five lo thirty per cent, in excess ol what are ne? cessary for a safo aud legitimate conduct of tho business. Iii otbor words, cartfully and prudently-managed companies charging "mutual" ralea have been ablo to return to their policy-holders from 25 to 30 per cent, of tho amount charged for premiums. When lifo in? surance companies were firbt organized, the reliability of tho data upon which the premiums wero constructed had not undergono tho teat of experience. It was thought, therefore no moro than common prudence to adopt a ecalo of premiums which would, iu any event, meet all tho presumed and unforeseen contingencies of tho buaincaa. Aa long aa tho matter was involved in Bomo doubt, it wae better to lix the ralo too high than to incur the riak of mak? ing it too low; bocaueo. in tho former caae, tho error could bo easily remedied, at leant m part, by returning to the policy-holders, at certain intervals, euch portion of tho premium charged aa wae found necessary for tho purposes of tho business and tho complete security of the company. Experieuco. however, having satisfactory demonstrated that these ratea are excenaivo, what posaiblo excuee can there bo for maintaining them? Availing themselves of this experience, tho Directora and Managers of thc Univeraal Lifo Insurance Company, at its organization, adontcd a beale of premiums in accordance there? with, and which has proven to bo fair and adequate, and all that waa necessary to meet tho requirements of Ibo business. These premiums ore about twenty-five per cent, lower than thoae charge by mutual compancia. It alao appeared, inasmuch as the ratea so established were BB near as could possibly be determined fiiir ratea, and not in excess of what inaurauco baa previously cost tho policy-holders in mutual companies, that any profita arising from prudent management justly and properly belonged to the stockholders of thc company, for tho risk incurred by them m undertaking tho buaineee. Experieuco has shown that there aro som ccu of profit in tho practice of the businoPB which theory will not admit of being considered as elementa in tho calculation of tho premiums. These results form a saving in the mortality of thc mem ht rs of a company owing to thc me? dical selection of good livca, a gain in interest on thc investments of the company over that assumed in tho calculation of its prc minina, the profita derivable from thc lapsing and sur? render of policiea by tho members, and from other minor sources. Profita from these aourcoa, in a company poBBCSBed of a capital of $200,000, and doing a fair amount of bu s i nt ss, would givo to tho stockholders dividends largely in excess of what wero counted on by the Directors of tho Universal at the timo of RB organization. They have, therefore, determined to divide among tho policy-holders of the company a largo part of tho profita accruing from tho sources named, all of which have heretofore been divided among the stockholders. The plan adopted for auch division is as follows: Every person who may hereafter insure with thc Uni? veraal will, for the purposes of division, bo treated aa a stockholder to the estent of one an? nual premium upon Iiis policy; and will share in the prolita of tho ?company to precisely the same extent as a stockholder owning an equal amount of tho capital ntock. By thia system of insurance, original with tho Universal, tho policy-holder eecurcs the following important advantages: 1. Inaurauco at thc regular "atoek" ratcB, requiring a primary outlay of about twenty to thirty per cent. Ieee than that charged by mutual companies, and which is equivalent toa yearly "dividend" paid in advance of that amount on mutual rates. Thia low coat of insur? ance ia worthy of attention. Since itn organization. Ibis company has received in premiums from its policy-holders the Bom of $1,517,000. To effect tho same amount of insurance in a mutual company would have cost them an initial outlay of $2.000,000. Dy allowing its policy? holders to retain, in their own poeaesaion, thia exceaa of $483,000, tho Univeraal baa virtually paid them a "dividend" of $483,000. and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at tho end of ono or moro years. It is impoeeiblc to find any example cf a mutual company furnishing insur? ance at so low a coBt by returning to policy-holdera au equal amount upon similar receipts. 2. Participation in tho legitimate profits of the company, upon a plan which secures to tho policy-holdera tho same treatment which directora and stockholders award to themselves. Thia system of participation, in connection with tho low "alock" ratcB of premiums, must necessarily secure to tho policy-holders every possible advantage to bo derived from prudent and careful management. Tho low rates of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee to tho policy-holder bia insurance at a rate which ia not iu execee of tho cost in well managed mutual companies ; while, by tho proposed plan of participation in what may bc considered the legitimate profits of the business, the coat will ho still further diminished, 'i bus by tho combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in thc profits, it is confi? dently believed that tho Universal Life Iusuranco Company offers insurance at its lowest practicable cost. Those of the existing policy-holdera who desire tn participate in the profita under thc new plan can do so hy making application to tho head cfiice, or to anyagontaof thc company. Tho company ia in a souutl financial condition. Ratio of assets to liabilities 13(1 to 100.
