Flain, sure protection to the family at premium rates fixed on the basis of the
actuaries'tables of life exp elation, and therefore, absolutely fair is the only
ki: ^ of life insurance written by The Southeastern Life Insurance Company of

they will need it most keenly.
It is every man s sacred duty to carry life insurance for the benefit of those de

Would Rather Walk Home.
A naval officer tells the following
storv of Carpenter McGloin. an odd
character employed in the navy, who
for many years was a sort of privi
leged P< rson in the service, because
of his unflagging spirits and wit.
The old Pensacola was once com
ing up to San Francisco from Hono
lulu. when she met a severe gale.
McGloin who in heavy weather usu
ally became seasick, promptly “turn
ed in.”
Shortly after his disapperance. it
was reported to the captain that
something was amiss with the fore-
top mast. According. McGloin’s ser
vice as carpenter being necessary at
this juncture, he was sent for. Stag
gering on deck he began to make a
series of excuses, which were cut
short by the commanding officer, who
ordered the carpenter to go aloft to
Tscertaln what was wrong with the
mast.
The proposition struck McGloin
with such amusement that, it took
away his breath. “Up that mast,’’
muttered he, “in such weather as
this?’’
“Yes. up that mast,” reiterated the
commanding officer strenly, “and
quickly too!”
McGloin decided to enter a last
despairing portest. “Cap’n,” said he.
‘do you honestly mean that I am to
"o up that mast in such weather?
Why. this is an awful gale!”
The officer lost patience. “You’re
impertinent, man!” exclaimed he,
“And I’ve allowed you too much talk
already! Up that mast now!”
“All right,” mournfully‘wailed Mc
Gloin. as he prepared to obey the or
der- “but,” he added, with a re
proachful glance at his superior of
ficer, “Cap’n. if there was a four inch
plank from rere to Brooklyn, rather
than go up that mast. I’d walk
home!”

To Get The Jury’s Sympathy.
Ex-Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky,
says that a lawyer in that State who
was retained as counsel for the Plain
tiff a suit against a certain corpor
ation in course of his argument in
court, in the usual manner of law
yers. endeavored to gain the sym
pathy of the Jury for his client.
“Gentlemen of the jury,” declaim
ed the attorney, “who are the par
ties to this important) litigation?
Here, on the one hand, we have an
excessively rich and powerful cor
poration. and there, on the other
hand, is my poor, simple, uneducated
client.”
In this wise continued the lawyer;
and finally so worked upon th* feel
ings of the jurors that they quickly
returned a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff.
It would appear, however, that the
litigant, who was & man of consider
able intelligence, was not exactly ex
ultant over the means employed to
defend his suit for when a friend
some days after spoke of the case,
he said:
“Yes. that man’s a flue lawyer, all
right, and he won my suit for me.
But I’d never employ him again. Do
you know, h.e called me a fool, and
made the Jnry believe it!”
Reform The Prl*one.
An incident in Governor Denee.i’s
campaign for the nomination in Mi-
- shows his «en-e of humor.
He was making a speech in the
Chlcigo “Ghetto.” and part of hie
platform was advocating reform of
the penal institutions of the State.
Hp had treated the subject most se
riously. and when he closed his ap
peal the applause was tremendous.
But the future governors face broke
Into a snvi e. and he resorted to his
handkerchief to cover a laugh.
When outride the hall and on the
wav to deliver the next speech he
said: “When I got through talking
about prison reform I noticed that
t'-oro wore tb-e* fellows on the front
row who led the applaus. There
woe so-noth "K familiar about their
faces, and as I looked them over I
remembered that as State’s attorney
I had secure penitentiary sentences
against all three of them. They be
lieved in reform of the nenal institu
tions.”
A Woman's New Title.
A widow Morgan, who flourishel
in Richmond an^ who did a little
banking business on her own account,
cashing bills for men in distress,
made h»r appearance at Old Point
in the helrht of the season.
"She must be a lady of quality,”
said one.
“A marcMohess,” said another.
“A duche°a” said a third.
“The powers! You're all wrong. 1
said an armv office. ”1 know this
ladv we 1 !: she’s not even a countess!”
"What then ’’ was the simulta
neous question.
"Why. gentlemen, the fact Is she
is a djscountess.”
Hanged.
The following lines were written
bv Frances Silvers, who was hanged
in Morganton. N. C.. on the 12th of
July. 1833. for the murder of hei
tiusband:
This dreaful dark- and dismal day
Has swept my glories all away;
' sun goes down, my days are past.
And I must leave this world at last.
O Lord, what will become of me?
am condemend. you all now see;
To heaven or hell my soul must fly.
All in a moment when I die.
Judge Daniel has my sentence passed.
These prison walls I leave at last;
Nothing to cheer my drooping head
Until I’m numbered with the dead.
But. O that dreadful judge I fear;
Shall I that awful sentence heax?
Depart,, ye cursed, down to hell.
And forever there to dwell.
know that frightful ghost I’ll see.
Gnawing their flesh in misery.
And then and there attended be
For murder in the first degree.
Thre shall I meet that mournful face
Wlhose blood I spilled upon this place;
With flaming eyes to me he’ll say,
Why did you take my life away?
His feeble hands fell gently down.
His chattering tongue soon lost its
sound
To see his soul and body part
It strikes with terror to my heart.
took his blooming days away.
Left him not time to God to pray.
And if sins fall on his head.
Must I not bear them in his etead?
The jealous thought that first gave
strife
To make me take my husband’s life.
For mouths and days I spent my
time.
Thinking how to commit this crime.
And on a dark and doleful night
I put his body out of sight;
With flame I tried him to consume,
But time would not admit it done.
You all see me and on me gaze:
Be careful how you spend your days,
And never commit this awful crime,
But trv to serve your God in time.
My mind on solemn subjects roll,
My little child—God bless ita soul;
A” you that are of Adam’s race
Let not mv fault this child disgrace.
Farewell, good people; you all now
eee
What mv bad conduct brought on me;
To die of shame and of disgrace.
Before this world of human race.
Awful, indeeed. to think of death.
In perfect health to lose mv breath;
Farewell mv friends. I bid adieu—
Vengence on me must now pursue.
Great God! how shall I be forgiven?
Not fit for earth, not fit for heaven;
But Httle time to pray to God.
For now I try that awful road.
Frightened By Degees.
In a small town of Kansas not long
ago some individuals interested in
sanitary measures engaged the ser
vices of a. scientist from Chicago to
lecture on bacteriology. In the au
dience were a man an.I his wife, the
gardners and housekeeper of the
leading citizen of the town. These
worthy people, entirely ignorant of
the subject of the lecture's discourse,
had been attracted to the hall by the
announcement that magic-latern
views would be exhibited.
The two took seats in the rear of
the hall. In the course of the lecture
they evinced on signs of approval or
objection; but when the discourse
was concluded the gardner was heard
to ask* his wife: “Maggie, did you
pay attention to what that Chicago
man had to say?’
“Yes. jes’ as well as I could,” was
the reply. '
“An’ air J'e scared?'
“Yes. I am scared .as much as I
understand of it.”
A Monument In Contrast.
When Mr. Knox, now senator from
Pennsylvania, went to Washington
to take up the portfolio of the attor
ney-general, he received a bit of good
natured chaff from his colleagues in
the cablnent by reason of his dlminu
live stature.
One day Knox was telling Sh&w,
secretary of the treasury, of a sight
seeing trip he bad made about
Washington. "Do you know,” said
he. that until this present trip to the
capital. I never had visited Washing
ton monument? Well. I slipped down
today and had a look at it Besides
that I had mv photo taken while I
was standing at the base of the
shaft”
“And how did the monument stand
the contrast?” slyly queried Shaw.
“Really, it didn’t present so inslg
nifleant an appearance as you might
imagine,” responded the attorney
general.

(Boston Herald.)
Bart Kennedy, the noted English
novelist, told in New York a story
in Washington,” said Mir. Kennedy,
“and I have every reason to believe
it is true.
“A senator hurried into the senate
chamber one morning earlv and said
to a page:
” ‘Young man. did you find a ten
dollar bill on my desk last evening?
I wrote a letter, intending to Inclose
the bill, but somehow I failed to do
so and left it behind on the blotter.’
“ ‘Yes, senator.’ said the page, tak
ing out his wallet. T did find that
bill and here it is. And it’s a luck '
thing for you. sir. that some of the
other senators happened in before I
saw it.’”
A Hungry Ear.
(Tit-Bits.)
In a little school house in the
north of Scotland, the school master
keepes his boys grinding steadily at
their desks, but gives them permie-
sion to nibble from their lunch bask
ets sometimes as they work.
One day. while the master was in-
str”'“ ' T a class in tne rule of three,
he noticed that one of his pupile was
paying more attention to a small tart
than to his lesson.
“Tom Bain,” said the master, “lis
ten to the lesson, will ye?’’
“I’m listening, sir.” said the boy.
“Ustening. are ye?” exclaimed the
master. “Then ye*re listening wl’
one ear an’ eating pit wi’ the other.”
How It Happened.
“So you are a hermit, eh? Well,
if you don’t mind, kindly tell me how
you come to adopt such an un<t?r
crowded and non-kemivneiative pro
fession?”
“Well, you see. my auto broke
down near here, and rather than en
dure the jlges and joshes of the
triumphant farmers of the neigh-
hood. I took the machine to pieces,
carried them to this cave, and have
remained here ever since, trying to
nut them together again. Looks a
trifle like rain, off to tne northeast
don’t it?”
“Bufi.” said the Rev. Job Skum-
fnrter. "let it console you to think
that your husband Is now an angel
“Wlhat ’’ replied Cayman's widow.
"O! yes. that’s so; tney have angels
there, too.”

Solve the difficult problem of combining
in one and the same bird, utility with
the fancy qualities. I have had the Reds
eight years, and have tried all other kinds
and find the Reds the best all-purpose
fowl of all others. I have spent hundreds
of dollars to find out which was the best
and to get the finest in the country, and
the Reas fill the bill, and I have as fine
stock as can be found in the United
States; not only the Reds, also Buckeye
Reds, M. B. Turkeys and Toulouse Geese.
To all who can do so, come and see mv
