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 circulater Simply because it is secured by a deposite with the Government. As Safe as a National Bank Note. A policy in the Greensboro Lire 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 Policy is registered rnd secured by pledge of bonds, stocks or securities deposited with this de 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 Policy:Holders. 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 Nationil 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 shall 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. bult also in liberality and attractiveness of policy contracts. During its first four weeks in business (24 working days) the Greensboro Life wrote over $500,0.00 of business. At the end of its first 12 ionths the business in force amounted to $4,577,258.00. 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 $324,679.76. 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.

Starving and Saving For Others to Spend When You're Dead. "I'm it o)pose I to a man saving money," remarked the undertaker, lighting a fresh eigar. *but I can't help feeling that it is wrong for one to do it by meanness and by denying one self comforts. It is because I see so Inuch of this that I feel this way. "Whatever is the reason I must say that in my observation the usual result is that when one has saved up money by this self denial the ones who re ceive the money after death usually waste It. "To illustrate this let me tell you of a specific case. A few years ago an elderly woman died in our city. I was called to care for the remains. I as sure you that the room into which I went was one of the barest and most desolate places I ever saw. There was none of those little things which go to make a room comfortable and cheer ful. I couldn't but help thinking thit the poor woman's life had been a dreary one. In a way I still think so. "She was a maiden lady about sev enty. In the town was one woman w'ho had been her friend. She sent woid to me to bring the remains there. No one supposed the deceased had a cent in the world. When we were about to remove the hdy the people of the house called my attention to a small box which they said contained all the effects of the dead woman. "When we opened that box we found that it contained $5.000. the old lady's saving of a lifetime. "In her efforts to hoard up this mon ey she had gone without comforts and necessities: had denied herself every little luxury. What for? Answer it if you can. I can't. "A relative. the nearest one and the only heir, came on from a middle At lantic state and took the remains home with her for burial. She also took the -money. On the day of the funeral she had several hacks at a cost of $15 each, !:hen she made the driver of each back a present of $5. gave the driver of the hearse the same sum and each of the two men who dag the grave $5 and spent $2.500 for a monument. The rest of the $5,000 she blew. At the end of six months every dollar of it was gone. "And that old lady had gone without necessities of life to accumulate it "And, my friend, that is but one of several cases-yes, of scores of them that I could recite to you did I have the mind."-Lewiston Journal.

How Underwriters Gambie on Overdue Vessels Posted at Lloyc:c. When a ship is overdue, an oppor tunity is sometimes afforded for a gamble at Lloyds. It can be readily understood that underwriters who are interested in the "overdues" are only too willing to get rid of the risk by paying a premium on the insured rate to those who are willing on their terms, to relieve them of their respon sibilities. The premium varies with the chances of the vessel turning up. The smaller the chances the higher the premium and vice versa. The rates paying on "overdues" serve as accurate barometers of the probabilities or otherwise of the ship ever being heard of again. These un derwriters who speculate on "over dues" are generally known by the sig nificant name of "doctors." The insur ance on an "overdue" may pass through many channels before the ship is, on the one hand, "posted" at Lloyds as "missing" or, on the other hand. she arrives in safety. A ship is never "posted" until the. committee is thoroughly satisfied that her case is hopeless and until the own er is of the same opinion.N T efore "posting" a notice Is put up for a week inviting any information con cerning the vessel. If this elicits no news, the committee at its next meet ing votes the ship as "missing," and a notice is posted accordingly. The loss is then settled and paid for. It may be incidentally remarked that "post ing" at Lloyds constitutes a legal death certificate for any one on board the missing ships.-London Express. 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.

The Way Their Return Pricked an Artist's Conscience. In the course of some reminiscences of Sir Edward Burne-Jones ,a corre spondent of the Westminster Gazette remarks: Those who are not "offend ed" by the paradoxes of Charles Lamb would have delighted in Burne-Jones' play of humor and imagination. Let me justify my reference to Charles Lamb. I once returned to Burne-Jones sone books which he had lent me thirty years before, writing to him to the ef feet that If it was base to keep bor rowed books so long it was heroic to return thenm after such long posses sion as might well breed the sense of ownership. In reply he said: "The return of those books has sim ply staggered me. It has also pained me, for It seems to raise the standard of morality In these matters and per haps to sting the susceptible con sciences of book borrowers. - I have many borrowed books on my shelves. I would rather the owners should die than that I should have to think about these things and return them. I have two costly volumes that were lent to me before that little Incident of ours, which, you may remember, was in Red Lion square. I hope the owner is no more, for I simply will not give themup.

It Mangled the Salutation, but the King Controlled His Face. An American who years ago served as our minister to Spain swas fond of telling the following joke upon him self: Shortly after he had become settled in his new home he was bidden to a state ceremonial. where lhe was to be presented to the king. Ilis knowledge of languages was limiied to English and Frenchi, and beiug desirous of ad dressing the sovereign in his own tongue he took pais to "coach" for the occasion. Several phrases were re hearsed until he feit that he had mats tered them.' When the critical mo ment arrived, he saluted the king with great dignity, spoke a few wvords in Spanish and passed on. "What did you say Y' asked an Eng lish. gentleman. "I spoke in Spanish," was the re joinder. "I said, 'I cast myself at your feet,' which, I am told, is the most re spectful form of salutation." "Ah, no," corrected a Spaniard. whbo had been observed to smile at the am bassador's greeting. "You are mis taken. You transposed your words and quite altered the meaning." "What did I say?" asked the diplo mat. With a twinkle in his eye the Span. lard :nade answer, "W\hat you really said was, 'I throw my heels at your head.'" But the king had not betrayed by so much as the fluttering of an eyelid that anything unusual had occurred.. DeWitt's Little Early Risers. smnall, safe, sure little liver pills. Sold by W. E.

By the laws of England and of France legal documents are required to be written in ink made from galls, such ink having proved to be practi cally indelible. The mixture is of bruis ed galls with sulphate of iron and gum arabic. This legal ink, at once thebhest and oldest In existence, entirely de pends on a disease to which the oak tree is, subject and which is caused by a fly known as the gallfly. The gallfly belongs to the same order as the bees and wasps, and when it is reandy to lay its egg it cuts away the outer bark of an oak tree twig and de posits its eggs in the hole. From some unknown cause the tree immediately begins to enlarge about the egg. and a gall, or oak apple, as it is usually call ed. is formed. It is this gall which contains the tannic acid from which the ink is made. Protoplasm. Protoplasm is a living, transparent, viscid substance of proteld character, contain-ing 0 per cent of water. It congulates with heat at 130 degrees and dies when the body is raised to this temperature. As only dead proto plasm can be subjected to chemical analysis it is difficult to determine its chemical nature. Its nearest allies are to be found in the albuminolds, of which the white of an egg is a good example. Of the real nature of proto plasm there Is, of course, absolutely nothing known.-New York American. The Scholar. Dr. Evans, a witty member of the parliament at Melbourne, was an old man, and the other members jokingly spoke of him as belonging to the era of Queen Anne. Once, while making a speech, he re ferred to Queen Anne and was greeted w~ith cries of "Did you know her?' 'What was she like?" "Yes, sir," retorted the doctor, "I did know her. The scholar Is contem porary with all time." Mr. John Riha. of Vining.

Some people are often accused of be ing thoughtless, but better that should happen sometimes than always being regarded as too thoughtful. The habit of thinking too deeply on every item has an immense amount of failure at the bottom. Whether it was best to learn short hand or a language perplexed one in dividual for seven months. He could not make up his mind as to which he would derive the most advantage from. He might have learned any one of those accomplishments in the time he took to think about it This is the case with many people, and Fortune has an awkward habit of crushing the too thoughtful just as much as the thoughtless.,London An swers. What Is Sound? The natural question, "What is sound?" opens up a world of mystery and of delight to those that like that sort of thing. Anything that sets up vibrations in the air, where there is an ear to receive them, makes a noise. An alarm clock' in a vacuum jar may whir ever so busily, but it makes no noise. There must be air or there is no sound, and there must be an ear to carry the vibrations to the brain- or there Is no noise.-Delineator.

This is made from a nut called "chufa," yielding a milky liquid when reduced to a pulp. This Is di luted with water and forms a most cooling and refreshing drink. How ever, it is an acquired taste. Very few like it at the first trial. The horchata nmay be mad~e from different kinds of nuts. The almond is used also. Strange to relate, the horchata de chufa is al ways sold 'where matting is kept for sale, so that when you spy a roll of the latter outside the store door it is a sufficient indication that in that par ticular place you may procure a glass of the horchata. In spite of inquiries, I was unable to discover the origin of the singular combination of articles on sale.-London Truth. Druggists' Lights. An apothecary found himself mInus his red light one night at a time when it was chstomary for tradesmen of his class to ornament their store fronts withi a simple red lamp.
