Pretty Good World
This world's a pretty good sort of
world,
Taking it altogether.
In spite of the grief and sorrow we
meet,
In spite of the gloomy weather,
Their aro friends to love and hopes
to choor,
And plenty of compensation
For ovory acho for those who make
Tho best of the situation.
Thoro aro quio'; nooks for lovers of
books,
With naturo In happy union;
Thoro aro cool retreats from the
noontide heat,
Whero souls may have sweet com
munion; And if there's a spot whore tho sun
shines not,
There's always a lamp to light it.
And if there's a wrong, wo know ere
long
That Hoavon above will right it.
So it's not for us to make a fuss
-Bocauso of life's sad mischances,
Nor to wear ourselves out to bring
about
A change in our circumstances.
For this world's a pretty good sort of
world,
And Ho to whoi.. we are debtor
Appoints our place, and supplies the
graco
To help make it better.

Worth tho Prico
The following story, which an offi
cer who is a member of the G. A. R.
tells, appears in a western paper:
"In a Phoenix hotel one night," he
said, " a number of veterans got Into
a dispute about the battle of Bull
Run. The veterans all men of high
rank argued at length, but a quiet
man spoke up and Baid:
"Gentlemen, I happened to be there
and I think I can settle the point at
Issue.
"And settle it he did. He settled
it in a masterly manner. The hotel
proprietor, much Impressed, said to
him when he got through:
" 'My dear sir, what was your rank
in tho army?'
" 'I was a private, sir; a full pri
vate,' was the calm reply.
"A short time afterward the pri
vate asked for his bill, since he was
about to leave, but the proprietor
said to him:
" 'Not a cent, sir! Not a cent! You
owe me nothing.'
" 'Why, how is that?" the other
demanded, In bewilderment.
" 'I couldn't dream of charging you,
sir,' said the proprietor, warmly. 'You
are the first private . I have' ever
met.' " Youth's Companion.
Liko n Wafflo
A western politician tells the fol
lowing story as illustrating the incon
veniences attached to campaigning in
certain sections of the country.
Upon his arrival at one of the
small towns in South Dakota, where
he was to make a speech the follow
ing day, he found that the so-called
hotel was crowded to the doors. Not
having telegraphed for accomoda
tions, the politician discovered that
he would have to make shift as best
he could. Accordingly,, he was obliged
for that night to sleep on a wire cot
which had only some blankets and a
sheet on it. As the politician is an
extremely fat man, he found his im
provised bed anything but comfort
able. "How did you sleep?" asked a
friend In the morning.
"Fairly well," answered the fat
man, "but I looked like a waffle when

AN ORDINARY LIFE POLICY
An Ordinary LlCo Policy Is ono on which tho premiums arc payable as long
as tho porson whoso llfo Is Insured lives, and tho amount of Insurance is payable
at tho death of tho Insurod.
Tho promlum for tho first year on a non-participating Ordinary Llfo Policy
for $1,000 issuod by THE MIDWEST LIFE of Lincoln on tho life of a person 35
years of ago Is $20.08. .
Non-participating policies aro not entitled to dividends. Dividends In llfo
Insuranco do not roprosent profits of tho business. They aro simply a return
by tho company to tlio policy-holder of an overcharge In premiums. By reason
of tho fact that no return of so-called dividends Is made on non-participating
pollclos, tho premiums on this kind of Insuranco aro much lower than on par
ticipating policies.
Aftor tho payment of threo or moro annual premiums and the Insured falls
or noglocts to pay a subsequent promlum, tho policy Is automatically extended
us term insuranco. Tho time tho policy Is extended varies according to tho
numbor of annual promlums paid and is given in a table on tho policy. If tho

The farmer was walking comfort
ably and happily along the lane lead

denly out sprang a strange dog. He
yelled for assistance, and his cry was
heard by his wife. But, alas! when
she came upon him the dog had al
ready fastened his teeth in her loved
one's calf. Quickly she, picked up a
stone and was just about to hurl it
when the husband realized the new
and terrible danger he was now ex
posed to, but with presence of mind
he called to her:
"Mary! Mary! Don't throw the
stone at the dog; throw it at me."

Presbyterian minister, but thev slin-

the youngest, and all her hopes cen

"Mother, I am sorry, but I cannot
become a minister."
"Why not? What is the reason?"
He answered, "I am not good

Aftor tho payment of throe or moro annual premiums every pollcv has a
