Elevating Ones Life
I know of no more encouraging fact
than the unquestionable ability of a
man to elevate his life by a conscious
endeavor It is something to be able
to paint a particular picture or to
carve a statue and so make a few
objects beautiful but it is far more
glorious to carve and paint the very
atmosphere and medium through
which we look which moraliy we can
do Thoreau

BIG CONCERNS LOSE MONEY
Forty one of Leading Fire Insurance
Companies Reported with Deficits
LINCOLN A revelation was re
ceived at the office of Insurance De
puty Pierce in the way of insurance
statistics The statistics were pre
pared for the Journal of Insurance
Economics and show that forty one ot
the biggect fire insurance companies
now doing business made altogether
during the last five years only 122
000 Out of the total of forty one com
panies twenty three of them come out
loser at the end of the five years
leaving only eighteen that made a
profit during that length of time Two
companies made enormous profits dur
ing the five years The Aetna cleared
1573000 and the Continental clear
ed 51174000 The Hartford was the
greatest loser coming out behind for
the five years business a total of
o85000
But for all this the statstics show
i he insurance business has come up
wonderfully during the last two years
and for 1902 and 1903 the profits were
enormous making it seem unneces
sary for an increase in rates at this
time Last year these same companies
cleared a total of 12794000 while
the year before that they cleared
5193000 The three years previous
the losses amounted to over 17000
000 divided as follows 1899 7093
000 in 1900 309000 ii 1901 7
1G3000 Each of the forty one com
