In this day of fakirs when demagogues preach one thing and practice another: when some merchants use cheating sca’es. some publishers >wind'- their adver tisers by claims to exorbitant circu lation.. some printers charge one man om> price for a job and another man a different price for the same job. wVn some farmers put crooked logs on the wagon to make the load look bigger or put the big potatoes on top. it is refreshing to now and then run across the genuine article who endeavors to follow the golden rule.

Such as only parents know: The child looked not up again. Nor called for mama to go. The father stood with the precious form Folded tenderly on his breast. And remembered Jesus said. “Come,” For such He called “blessed.” The rain was falling like sparkling dew As I entered the quiet room; ! carried roses of richest hue. Hoping to drive away the gloom The scene was that of a broken link. Three was then the family chain: Liitie Ben was sad, as if trying to think How to find joy at plav again. Thf people had gathered at eleven. And the minister with book in hand Asked for the sympathy of heaven To guide us all to that land. For little Margurite has retreated Win re death sepaiates more; There the pure are all greeted By the ai gels on that shore. We bowed our heads in sorrow. Then smoothed up the little mound.

For 61 Years This company has stood for all that Is best in American Life Insurance. It has proved that it Is possible to up hold what Is right and oppose what is wrong and succeed in building up and maintaining a great business. The recent investigations show these facts. The large annual dividends, low pre mium rates and liberal policy forms make the contracts of The Mutual Benefit the most desirable to be had. We sell you more insurance for less money than any other Life Insurance Company doing a legitimate business.
