JORDAN, November 30, 1905. ORIGIN OF LIFE INSURANCE. ~irst Company Began Business in Phfladel phia in 1792. At this time, when the current istory of insurance is attracting so much attention, it is interest ig to note that the origin of in surance in this country dates from 1752 and had its first begin aing in Philadelphia. The first company was the Philadelphia Contributionship lor the insurance of houses from osses by fire, and its insignia was four clasped hands, which was its house badge. This mark nay be seen throughout eastern Pennsylvania and New 'Jersey m old-time houses. The com any survived till 1847. In 1792 the life insurance com aany was founded in the same ~ity. It was called the Univer ;al Tontine. The next year simi .ar companies were started in Boston and New York. Its vowed aim was "for the pur-1 ose of raising a fund upon lives o be applied to charitable and ther uses." Some business was done during he summer, but in November of :hat year a general meeting of he subscribers was called and ;he idea of a general insurance ~ompany was suggested and met with approval. The proposition vas referred to a committee, and tt an adjourned meeting held at he State House on November 12 t was resolved that " The Uni ersal Tontine Association be, nd is hereby; changed from its >riginal object and is converted nto a society to be called The :nsurance Company of North A.merica." Its first policy was ssued to John Maxwell Nesbit, ts President, for $5,333.38. It rote both fire and life insurance, >ut the demand for insurance on ife was light, and the business, hich was finally abandoned by he first company, was not re rived until 1820, when Hartford nen took it up and kept it run ing till it gained the great pros-: erity of modern times.-New ork Press. A New One on Him. The manager of the Doemnp aundry advertised for a man. Eary next morning a mild-eyed oung chap appeared and re erred to the advertisement. "You think you can fill the >ll, do you ?" asked the proprie "I dunno, boss. I've druv a aundry wagon, but I've never tuv one o' them other things." " What other things ?"

Recently a Kansas woman, Miss Margaret M. Mather, delivered a lecture to some of her sister, which seems to have surprised them, to say the least of it. Among other things she told then: that character, ability and intel lectuality no longer weigh much in the social scale. When onE mother asks another if her daugh ter married well the usual answei is affirmative or negative accord ing to the size of the check thE bridegroom can sign. The Chicago Journul thus suis up the points of her lecture: 1. The complexity of modern life has reduced the joy of living to a minimum. Cause: Women have the fever for gold, their ideals are tainted with it. Rem edy: Insist upon genuine ideals; woman's measure be taken in worth, womanliness and culture instead of fine clothes, luxuries and jewels. 2. Embezzlements and defalca tions are growing alarmingly nu merous. Cause: Thousands of women are living beyond their incomes. Few women know what their incomes are. Few know what their husbands can afford to have them spend. Remedy: Letswomen be taught the value of a dollar. Let them learn to do houskeeping as a business in stead of trusting the manage ment to incompetent servants. 3. Young women are refusing to marry men with modest in comes. The young woman of the present expects her husband to begin financially where her father left off. Cause: Girls are permitted to be extravagant and wasteful. They cannot appre ciate the value of hard-earned money. Remedy: Let parents teach their. children the princi ples of work and economy and the management of money- at home. Children should be given work to do in the home and should be paid for it. Te have no disposition to butt into-f this controversy, The wo men are the ones who are prima rily concerned and interested, and if they care to argue the mat ter with their Kansas sister it's up to them, and we should not be surprised if some of them make warm for her. The Business of the Day. Representative Champ Clark tells of an amusing story in con nection with the inauguration of Thomas T. Crittenden as Gover nor of Missouri, a ceremony at tended with more frills than any other in the State since the civil war. According to Mr. Clark, there were on this occasion military organizations and bands galore, and special carloads of people came from Kansas City and St. Louis to witness the pageant. Captain Hawley, of St. Louis, was Grand Marshal of the day. Lieutenant-Governor Brockmey er, a quaint character, was pre siding over the Senate, and as he awaited notice of the ti'me for the Senate to proceed to the hall of the House of Representatives, where the two bodies in joint ses sion were to receive the new Gov ernor, he lolled back in his chair on the President's stand and smoked a big corncob pipe with the utmost nonchalance. The Senate lobby was crowded and Senators were in their seats, on the tiptoe of expectancy. for the strains of martial music could be heard from all directions. At this juncture a figure in a glitter ing and brilliant uniform pushed through the crowd and marched half way up the aisle. This was Marshal of. the day Hawley. Drawing his sword, he made a profound military salute, and an nounced, with much pomposity : " Mr. President, the Governor of Missouri and his staff now ap proach !" Without removing his pipe from his mouth, Lieutenant-Governor Brockmeyer responded: "Vell, let 'him come ; dot is vot we are here for. "--Harper's Weekly. One Too Many. A correspondent of the Wash ington Post tells of the amusing experience of a literary friend into whose family a seventh child :ame last summer. The family were at their coun ry house, and for a time a good eal of care of the six children evolved upon the father, who has the Spartan Ideas as to the upbringing of his sons. One morning he carried his two-year ld to the creek near his home to give him a cold plunge. The chid objected lustily to this pro eeding,- but was firmly held and ucked notwithstanding. At the instant of the ducking; however, a brawny hand seized the Spartan father by his shoul er and flung him back, while the ngry voice of the farmer who was his nearest neighbor roared in his ears : " Here, none of that ! I'll have the law on you for this !" "And," said the literary man, " it took me half an hour to con vice that man that I was not rying to drown the child. Even then he wasn't wholly convinced. 'o the very last minute he kept shaking his head skeptically and sayig: " Wall, I dunno about that, I unno. You got 'six besides his.'" Thoroughly Understdod.. John LaFarge, the painter, was talking in his studio about witty women, says the New York Iribune. " Let me relate a young wo man's witticism that I heard of the other day," he said. " There was a man who loved maid and she returned his pas sion, but there were reasons that ade ecre desirable and thus. though the two were betrothed, they pretended to the world that they were good friends and noth ing more. "One evening as the young man was pressing his sweetheart to his breast her sister entered the room suddenly. 3" The lovers drew apart with great haste and the sister, with an 'Excuse me,' turned to go. "But the young man deemed an explanation necessary. He said: =Don't go. We have just been measuring to see which is the taller.' "The intruder, standing by the door, looked at the lovers intent ly. Then a delicate smile flitted over her pretty face and she said : "'You are about the same height, but I think sister is much the redder.'" Obliging Railroad Rule. Joseph. H. Choate observed recently that of all the witty men he had met during his stay in London the one whose quickness of humorous perception most' nearly approached the American type was the clergyman the late Dean Hole. Mr. Choate says that be was one of a party with Dean Hole to cross the channel after a visit to the continent. The voyage had been a rough one, and the Dean had suffered greatly during the whole trip. When the party landed at Dover. the Dean, in strolling about the railway sta tion, chanced to stop before a printed notice of the enrpany's rules posted on the wall. As Mr. Choate came up the Dean said: "Mr. Ambassador, it occurs to me that after that stormy voyage of ours we have at least one ad vantage in making the subse quent trip to London." "How so ?" asked Mr. Choate. "Why," replied the Dean, "I perceive by this notice that the company carries returning emp ties at reduced rates.)"-Harper's Weekly. In Time of Peace. In the first months of the Russia-Ja pan war we had a striking example of the nesessity for preparation and the early advantage of those who, so to speak, "have shingled their roofs in dry weather." The virtue of prepara tion has made history and given to us our greatest men. The individual as well as the nation should be prepared for any emergency. Are you prepared to successfully combat the first cold you take ? A cold can be treated much more quickly when treated as soon as it has been contracted and before it has become settled in the system. Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is famous for its cures of colds, and it should be kept at hand ready for instant use. For sale by The R. B! Loryea Drug Store. Everything Limited. The old farmer went to one end of the swaping coach to wash his hands says theChicago News. He could find only a few rem nants of s oa p. "Boy," he drawled, " there don't seem to be much soap here." "No, sah," chuckled the por ter ; " you know dis is de lim ited. Ebbrything abod am lim ited." Then the old man tried to fill a glass from the water-cooler. He could force out only a few drops. "Where's the water, boy ?" "Not much water, sah. Dat am limited too."' Presently the porter brushed the old farmer down and the lat ter handed him nine coppers. " Why, boss," protested the porter, " you gib de porter on de udder train a quarter." "1I know that," chuckled the old farmer ; " but you know this is the limited, and everything should be limited." gene TheKind You Have Always Bought Sigature of NORTHWESTERN R. R. OF S. C.
