TOBACCO KILLS

ing that can be
said in favor of
the tobacco
habit. It's ex
pensive; filthy;
injurious t o

THE MIDWEST LIFE
This company now has over $335,000
o! insurance in force and has reached
policy number 255, A list of its policy
holders in Lincoln, even after exclud
ing those who are stockholders, would
disclose many- of the leading business
H'nd professional, men of the city. Or-f-nized
as an old line company, and
'iaing business as such from the start,
t will not be handicapped by any as
sessment or stipulated premium poll
Mfs."The premium paid on each policy
will be sufficient to . carry that policy.
No class of policyholders will ever be-
cove a burden to any other class.
The Midwest-Life-is essentially an
annual dividend company. It has not
nut out a single, deferred dividend pot
cy ."; Stock . in any financial; -commer-
ciil or industrial enterprise could ; not
vg soid if the management attempted
sell it on the plan of allowing all
'Ividends to accumulate for 10, 15. or
n years. Who would buy stock: in a
vank if the directors said to the pro
posed stockholders: You will receive
no dividend for 20 years, and during
those 20 years we will not even render
you an accounting of the yearly earn
ings? Why should a policyholder in
a life insurance company have to wait
20 years before knowing what his in
surance costs him?
The agency force is increasing every
month. Experienced men, ' who by
years of service in the field have dem
onstrated their ability to sell life in
surance, recognize The Midwest Life
as one of the coming companies of
the great middle west and they ' are
entering its service in greater numbers
than such men usually enter into the
service of a new company.
The Midwest is a Nebraska com
pany. Insure in it and keep the money
paid in premiums in Nebraska.

SOME YAGRANT THOUGHTS
The children started to school last
Monday, and as they tripped down the
street you watched them through the
window, and somehow or other a lump
came up into your throat and the tears
nto your eyes. You were not sorry,
of course, that the children were go
ing to school to get the education that
is to fit them for citizenship. But
the mere sight of the little ones trip
ping off to school reminded you that
it had been a long time since you went
to school, and that reminded you also
that you were growing old.
O, not so awfully old, of course, but
a little older. You still feel as young
as ever, and you are quite sure that
you could still jump a five-rail fence
with one hand on the top rail if you
really tried your best, and those
streaks of gray in your hair are mere
ly the result of that sick spell you had
three years ago last spring. Of
course you are not old just entering
the prime of life. And yet, after all,
it is such a long, long time since you
tucked your books under your arm
and hastened off to school.
hand, jam your hands Into your pock
ets and start. Those eggs would keep
your hands warm until you got to
school, then you'd put them the eggs,
not your handsinto the bucket and
there they'd be at noon. Great
scheme, wasn't it? Occasionally she
would change things a bit and have a
couple of red-hot baked potatoes in
stead of the eggs.
Did you ever stop to think that
your children are going to miss some
thing when they grow up and hove
children of their own? With their
steam-heated, scientifically ventilated
and easily accessible schoolhouses,
how are Ihey going to gather their
children about' their knees and tell
them of the hard sledding papa and
mamma had when they were school
children? That's about one-half the
pleasure our fathers and mothers had
telling us youngsters how much we
ought to appreciate our educational
advantages and explaining the tough
time they had trying to learn the
"three It's." And we've had a lot
of pleasure telling our children about
the same thing, haven't we? Now
what are our children going to do
when they feel the necessity of en
couraging their children in their school
work?
Let's see. what was that first teach
er's name? Waters? Yes, that's it.
fJeoree Waters. . And it was In the
little old frame schoolhouse, too. The
drst whinDine in school? O. we re-
TiPmhpr it. so well that it couldn't
have been so many years ago,: after
all, and that's proof that we are not
errowme old. lie told us we mustn t
stop to skate on the pond in the com
mon near the school house, but hasten
home. And it just so. happened that
we forgot and did stop to skate, ur
did we foreet? Maybe we didn't and
just stopped anyhow, feeling ;; quite
sure that teacher wouldn't find it out.
At any -rate, we stopped to skate, and
teacher did see-us., and next morning'.
Well, we. feel quite young now, be-r
cause it was oniy a aay or iwo a&u
that it hannened. for we can feel it
yet. They didn't have any discus
sions - about "corporal punisnment
In thV schools fin those days. They
Just 1ft in arid whaled us" good, 'didn't
they? And if father thought the
teacher had not done a good job at
It he kindly completed it for him
put on the finishing touches, so to
, Wpnder where George Waters is,
anyhow? we . rememDer taning . a
solemn - vow. the morning after , that
skating experience that some day or
other, when we were grown "up and
physically able to do it, we were go
ing ,to inveigle George Waters off into
some dark alley and "do things to him,
and do 'em plenty. We haven't grown
up yet, so, of . course, George Waters
is safe. .But just .as soon as w$ do
grow up well, let George Waters
take due warning.
As you watched at. the window you
recalled that it was considerably more
than two or three blocks to that lit
tle old frame school house. It was
not heated by steam, . and no expert
in ventilation had been consulted when
it was erected. The old stove in the
center of the little room was so tall
it reached half way to the ceiling, and
when the weather was cold those who
sat next to it roasted while those over
next to the wall shivered like the
quaking asps. " Br-r-r-rrr!. How cold
it used to get in those days. Remem
ber the old trick mother used to play
on Master Jack Frost? Just before
you began to comb your hair prepara
lory to starting off for the school
house a mile or two away, she would
drap a couple of eggs into a pan of
boiling water, and by the time . you
had the tangles out of your hair and
our red woolen comforter tied around
your throat and ears those eggs would
le boiled hard. Then you'd shove
your arm through the handle of your
lunch bucket, grab a hot egg in each
O, Jeeminy! There's another thing
our children, with all their superior
school advantages, will miss. The
"last day 'o school" when we were
children meant something more than
the beginning, of a long summer vaca
tion it meant "teacher's treat!"
Yum, yum! Why is it they can't
make candy these days . that is as
good as the candy they made when
we were children? Let's see, how
many years ago was it that George
Waters initiated us into the delights
of the last day of school? It must
have been O,- pshaw! It was just
the: other : day, wasn't it? If it had
been so awfully long we couldn't re
member . it so well Of course ; not!
There wasn't much studying dene' the
forenoon of that last day. Everybody,
including George - Waters, was choke
full of expectancy, and nervous excite
ment. At noon we bolted the contents
of the lunch baskets, being extra care
ful not" to smear the jam : and apple
butter, on our clothes. . Of course, we
had on our beat bib and tucker that
day! The noon hour was unusually
long, - and it seemed longer than it
really was, for every parent 'in the
district- was- to be there. It , was to
bei the final recitation day, you re
member. ." ' "i " .

' Finally the bell. rang. It was a
measely little old handbell, you re
member not one of those big brazen
things that a hired janitor rings with
a rope. ' In we ' flocked, and after
George Waters had made a beautiful
little talk, and Mr. Willard, chairman
of the board of directors had told us
how much better our' school facilities
were than they were in his day, the
real joys began.
"Dug" Freeman was the first up,
and the way he recited "The Semi
nole's Defiance" was something won
derful. Remember it?
"Blaze with your - serried columns,
I will not bend the knee;
The shackles ne'er again shall bind
' The arm which now is free!"
Gee, but it was beautiful! We
never stopped then to think that, of
course, no Indian ever got off anything
like that. We didn't know Indians
then as well as we do now.
Then "Jim" Holmes stepped forth
and recited "Marco Bozzaris," and we
thought it was about the finest ever
As we recall it now he gave a sample
of trembling fear that wouldn't be
much of a credit to old Marco. Why,
we remember it just as well!

The Turk lay dreaming of the hour
When Greece her knees in suppliance
bent
And trembled at his power."
