What is safer than a National Bank Note" Nothing. Why is a National Bank Note accepted without question in any part of the country in which it may circulate? Simply because it is secured by a deposite with the Government. As Safe as a National Bank Note. A policy in the Greensboro Lite Insurance Company is as safe a National Bank Note because it is secured by a deposit of its entire reserve with the Insurance Department of North Carolina. Every policy issued by the Greensboro Life carries this certificate above the signature and seal of the Insurance Commissioner: "This Poliev is registered rnd secured by pledge of bonds, stocks or securities deposited with this do partment as provided by low." A National Bank Note is secured by a deposit of Government Bonds. A policy in the Greensboro Life is secured by a deposit of the entire Legal Reserve, the Legal Reserve being the funds provided for the maturing of all policies. The Difference to Policyllolders. The difference to policy holders in a Life Insurance Company depositing the Legal Reserve and one that does not deposit the Legal Reserve is practically the difference between a man holding a National Bank Note and a man who is merely a depositor in a National Bank. So long as the bank is solvent, the deposit is good: but whether the bank is solvent or not, the National Bank Note is good because of the bank's deposit with the Government. The note of a National Bank continues to circulate.as currency and is redeemable by the Government, even after the bank may have failed. The Law of North Carolina. The Greensboro Life operates under the Registration Law of Forth Carolina. This law prescribes the kind of investments Life insurance Companies may make and stipulates the companies availing themselves of the advantage of this law sball deposit with the Insurance Commissioner the net value of all policies in force. Under such a law. governing the investment of funds and their custody, solvency is absolutely guaranteed. The funds of the Company cannot be squandered in extravagrant management or invested in doubtful securities. Always The Leader. Since beginning business the Greensboro Life has ever been the acknowledged leader of all of the Life Insurance Companies operating in its territory. The Greensboro Life not only leads in volume of business, but also in liberality and attractiveness of policy contracts. During its first four weeks in business (24'working days) the Greensboro Life wrote over $500,000.00 of business. At the end of its first 12 months the business in force amounted to 84,577,258.00. When two and one-half years old the business in force had reached $8,400,000.00, while the assets had grown from $125,000.00 to 8324,679.76. These are the figures that show the Greensboro Life's leadership. The terms of its policies demonstrate the Greensboro Life's superiority over all competitors.

I ran a news stand at Port Jervis, N. Y. I owned a common shepherd dog which was a very intelligent ani mal and was of great assistance to me in the newspaper business, run ning across the street with papers in his mouth to customers. lIe attracted much attention, and he got me many new customers. for everybody liked him, he was such a business dog. I was slek one day and not able to sell my papers. My dog came in my room where I lay in bed. He fumbled around In my pants pockets and took the keys to my news stand and ran out of the house, and the first thing I knew he had the newspaper stand opened up and doing business. He was very clever In making change, changing five and ten dollar bills without a single mistake, work ing the cash register witn his paws, and everything ran smoothly until a man came up and passed him a lead quarter. . My dog got mad and lost his temper entirely, and I was forced to Interfere. With much trouble I man aged to pull them apart. If this dog had not had such a quick temper I would have started him in business for himself. This dog Is still living.--Bostoa Post Don't cough your head off when you can get a guaranteed remedy in Bees Laxative Cough Syrup.

A judge once awoke in the night to find his room in the possession of two armed burglars. Covered by the pistol of one of the marauders, the judge watched the proceedings with his usu al judicial calm. One of the depreda tors found a watch. "Don't take tha," the judge said; "it has little value and is a keepsake." "The motion is over ruled," replied the burglar. "I appeal," rejoined the judge. The two bur glars consulted, and the spokesman then replied: "The appeal is allowed. The case coming on before a full tri bunal of the supreme court, that body Is of the unanimous opinion that the decree of the lower court should be sustained, and it is accordingly so or dered." Pocketing the watch, court ad journed. Remembe'r that when the Stomach nerves fail or weaken, Dyspepsia or Indigestion must always follow.

Probably the oldest letter In the world is the letter of Panbesa,. written fifteen centuries beford Christ to his friend, Amenemapt, a scribe. The manuscript is of perishable papyrus, and it is amazing that It should have survived for more than thirty centuries and still be legible. It is preserved in the collection ot the British museum. It has been sev eral times translated. It presents an interesting picture of life in Egypt In the time of Iameses II. It is more in the nature of a literary production, a poem composed in celebration of the visit of Pharaoh to the city of Pa Rameses, than an ordinary letter of to day. Panbesa "greets his lord, the scribe Amenemapt, to whom be life, health and strength," and then goes on to de scribe the verdant fields, the thrashing floors, the vineyards, the groves of olives, the orchards of figs, the great daily markets, with their fish and wa terfowl and swarms of purchasers. The citizens had their "sweet wine of Khenii, pomegranate wine and wine from the vineyards," and to these they added "beer of Kati." There was music In plenty furnished by the singers of the school of Memphis. On the whole, Pa-Rameses seems to have been a pleasant place to live in. "The lesser folk are there equal with the great folk," and Panbett writes that Its maidens were "in holiday at tire every day," with locks "redolent of perfumed oil." This is what Hon. Jake Moore, State Warden of Georgia, says of Kodol for Dyspepsia:. "E. C. DeWitt & Co., Chi cago, Ill.--Dear Sirs-I have suffered more than twenty years from indiges tion.

Rudely Interrupted While He Was Chatting With Royalty. The daily papers do their best, but not even their ubiquitous representa tives garner all the store of good things which attend a royal visit to Ireland, says the London Sketch. No paper at the time printed the cream of the sto ries which grew out of a. visit of the Duke of Connaught to the Emerald Isle. "'Welcome to Ireland!" said a man as he saw the duke on the steps of a hotel In the little western town in which he was staying. "Welcome to Ireland, your royal highness. I hope I see your royal highness well." "Quite well, thank you." answered the duke. "And your noble niother, the queen. I hope her ould leddyship Is enjoyin' the best of health?" "Yes, thank you. The queen is very well indeed," said the duke, vastly amused with the easy fa miliarity of the peasant "It's glad I am to hear it. And tell me, your royal highness," the other went on, "how -are all your noble brothers and sis ters?" - Before the duke cduld answer an aid-de-camp appeared, with, "Here, get along there." The peasant looked up with infinite scorn. "Arrah! What are yez Intenruptin' for?" he exclaimed. "Can't you see that me and his royal highness Is houldin' a conversation?'

Nordica, was fort many years a picturesque figure among the Methodist ministers in -the state .of Maine. He was a good deal of a wag, and his utterances were much appre cated by both saint and sinner. At one time, having gone to Lewiston to attend a quarterly meeting, he was ap proahed in the street by several young men wvho were evidently out for a good time. "Camp Meeting John," said the spokesman, "who was the devil's grandmother?" "The devil's grandmother," replied the old man in the quick, sharp tone so characteristic of his speech. "the devil's grandmother-how do you ex pet me to keep y-our family record?" -Cleveland Leader. Peanut Meal Bread. Peanut meal has been for a long time a staple article in the dietary of the poor classes in Spain.

Put Crape In Winciows. Passengers on the Second avenue elevated road witness one custom that seems peculiar to the people living in the flats along that line of travel. They frequently see streamers of crape tied to the second and third story front windows that open on fire escapes.

As London Sees Us. In an article on smoking the West minster Gazette of London says: "At Washington senators not only smoke in committee rooms, but in the senate itself. Often a Washington 'or ator' has been known to deliver a per ipatetic speech, attending to his cigar at regular intervals, and followed by a crowd of reporters eagerly taking down "OLD GLORY? The Way This Name For the Stars and Stripes Originated. The term "Old Glory," used to desig nate the flag of our country, is a favor ite, and the expression is a very happy one. It is said by those who claim to be well informed that the name originat ed with William Driver, captain of the bark Charles Doggett. This statement appears in a history of the Driver family, and from this we find the fol lowing facts: Driver was a successful deep sea sailor and was at the time making his vessel ready for a voyage to the south ern Pacific. In 1831, just as the brig was about to set sail, a young man at the head of a party of the captain's friends saluted Driver on the deck of the Doggett and presented to him a handsome American flag 19 by 3S feet In size. The banner was done up in' stops, and when it went aloft and was flung to the breeze Captain Driver, says the tradition, then and there named it "Old Glory." The flag was carried to the south seas and ever aft erward treasured by its owner. . Driver removed to Nashville, Tenn., in 1837 and there died.in 1886. Before the outbreak of hostilities btween the north and south Old Glory flew daily from a window in the captain's Nash ville house, but when the 'rumors of war became facts it was carefully se creted. When the war broke out the precious flag was quilted into an innocent look ing comfortable and used on the cap tain's bed until Feb. 27, 1862, when the Sixth Ohio marched into Nashville. Then the flag came out of its cover ing. and the captain presented it to the regiment to be hoisted over the capi tol. There it floated until it began to tear in ribbons, when it was taken down and a new one placed on the building. After the death of Captain Driver the first Old Glory was given to the Es sex institute at Salem, where it is still preserved and may be seen by the curl ons.-Kansas City Journal. Mr. John Riha, of Vining, Ia., says: "I have been selling DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills f.r about a year and they give better satisfaction than any 11 I ever sold.

As the Pratts' dog .was at last de tached from the trousers leg of the new milkman by Mr. Pratt's vigorous efforts the victim of the onslaught be gan to express his mind with consider able freedom. "I wouldn't keep a dog like that," he said indignantly, but Mr. Pratt broke in before he had time to say more. "He's only playful, that's all," he in sisted, and at the saiie time he pressed something into the new milkman's hand. The man glanced at the wad of green, and then as he transferred it to a safe pocket his expression changed. "I guess I can take a little fun as well as anybody," he said dryly. "But till you explained It I had a notion that dog was in 'earnest when he bit that piece out of my trousers." Youth's Companion.
