A Good Rep rt ,
The statement of the auditor of , stnto
of Nebraska for the year ending Do-
81,1887 , reports the National Lifo Insur
ance company , of Vermont , as having
written $307,500 new business , dis
continued none. This showing is most
creditable for the National , taking into
consideration that this amount was
written within the last three months of
the yonr , its western office not being
opened for business until September ,
3887. The western department is under
the management of M. L. Rocdor.

The Mutual Reserve distances all
competitors in the race for business.
The auditor's report of the llfo compa
nies transacting business in Nebrasha
for 1887 shows the Mutual Reserve
1ms nt the close of its third yonr in the
statoovor $1,000,000.00 more business
in force than any Old Line company ;
nnd , after deducting the amount repre
sented by four of thcso companies , the
Mutual Reserve carries moro than the
combined business of the other twenty
companies as represented nt the close
of from ton to twenty years' business
by them.
The report further showsthat'tho cost
per $1,000 in the Mutual Rete'rvo hns
been loss than ono-hhlf that of any of
said companies. This no doubt accounts
for the howl and light by the agents of
the opposition companies ns made upon
the Mutual Reserve. The business
men who mnko up the policy holders
of this popular company nro not mis
led or influenced by unauthenticated
statements and anonymous literature
peddled usually by the agents of little
companies shut out of the race and dis
tanced nol only by the Mutual Reserve
but by the larger companies represent
ing the olll line system of life insurance.
The Mutual Reserve will continue its
rpmarkablo record. It defies compctl-
tion-aml respectfully invites the inspec
tion of the insuring1 public to its snfo ,
unusually liberal and economical policy ,
and a comparison in ovcry way with the
-rates and features presented by any lifo
insurance company of the day and ago.

THE HEADLIGHT.
A Moonlight Night IH Hardest on tlio
Nerves of lOiiglncorH.
Talk with an engineer in the Mem
phis Appeal : "A headlight ain't of so
much use as people think it is. Why ,
on a moonlight night I would just as
soon not have ono at all. "
"Why ? "
"Well , it's a curious thing , and I
don't know the philosophy of it , but tno
moonlight being the greater light de
stroys the clToct of the headlight almost
entirely , and if it wasn't for its being
reflected from some station platform o.-
car'on a side track you wouldn't know -t
was lighted at all. Why , many a lima
I have gone out on the running bonrci.
there on the hide of the engine around
to the front to see if my headlight was
still burning , "
Tmipposo then that running on n
moonlight night is easier on you than
dark nights , because you have a better
light and can bee further ? " said the re
porter innocently.
"Well , it might bo if I was running
onaprairio , but in this part of the
country wo are all the time running
through woods or strips of woods where
the shadows of trees are thrown across
tlio track , and these fehndows are so
strong and black that they can't bo dis-
bipated by the brightest kind of head
light. You can't tell the difference bc-
Uveon a shadow nnd an object to save
your lifo hardly ; you have either struck
it or passed it before you could tell
which it was. "
"Well , that's a now one on me , " eaid
the reporter. " 1 always felt much
safer when I was traveling on a moon
light night. "
"Any engineer will tell you that that
is true , " was the reply.
"What's that ? " asked another en
gineer , who had just brought in a
heavy freight train and was on his way
homo. Engineer No. 1 explained. .
"That's so , " assented the newcomer.
"A moonlight night is the hardest of
all nights on an engineer's nerves and
the most dangerous to run on. I would
rather run on any other kind of anight.
A man can bo decoivod'so easily. I don t
suppose there is an engineer yet that
has not been scared by taking the moon
for an engineer's headlight , when it was
either rising or setting and low on the
horizon , about tho'hlght nn engineer's
headlight would bo , and that's a thing
that happens to the oldest engineers ,
too. They como around a curve sud
denly , and there isanothor engine right
close onto thorn at least , that's what
they think and it startles them , bo-
caugo they nin't looking out for it.
When a horse is on the track in front of
you nnd running nwnyfrom you ho looks
exnctlv Hko n man you can't ' toll that
ho isn't until ho turns his side to you.
"Speaking of being deceived , " con
tinued engineer No. U , " 1 had about as
singular nn experience once while I
was crawling around Lookout mountain
on ono of the divisions of the Nashville ,
Chattanooga & St. Louis , pulling a pns-
songor train into Chattanooga , as anyone
ono over hnd in that line , but that
wasn't a moonlight , but a dark , clear
night Hko this. It's a pretty crawly
place there ; the road at ono place is cut
out of the solid rock of the mountain's
side for some distance , nnd they kept
since they hnd that bad accident thero-a
watchman to see that no rocks or tress
foil down from above. Wo hnd alwavs
to slow up at that point , and 1 had put
on air brakes and was sliding along
easily , when all of a sudden 1 saw a
lamp swung rapidly across the track
ahead flagging mo down , you under
stand. There was a ravine back of us ,
which wo had just passed , and nt the
point wo then wore It was u tumble of
several hucdred fcot only before wo
would fall Into the river , if wo did fall.
It didn't take mo long to stop , you can
hot. Then the flagman ran closer up
still , Hugging mo down until ho got
within a few fcot of the engine , when
ho jumped to ono side nnd disappeared
down the side of the mountain. "
"What did ho do that for ? " asked the
reporter , half expecting a "soil" of
some bort.
"Well , it wasn't a flngmnn nt all ; it
wasn't anything but a large fox , and it
was the reflection of the headlight in
the animal's eyes. You know how a
cat's eyes shine when you bring a can
dle un to 'em in the dark , and ns this
fox came up to the engine ho dodged
from side to side like an animal will do ,
and it looked to mo just like a lamp
swung ncross the truck , nnd then , too , I
kinder expected to bo flagged there at
any time , you know. "
The Story ofn Hustle.
"Talking about bustles , " said the
father of a family , suddenly arousing
himself from deep meditation and slap
ping the Star man on the knee. They
hnd been speaking for the past twenty
minutes , nnd the last thing mentioned
before that was something about a
grinding monopoly.
Hero's nn advertisement I had pro-
for the Star :
ANTED A servant without a btistlo or
other artificial enlargement of the nn-
nknny ; no objection to carrying cold victuals
homo in a basket ; nn bustlu need apply.
"My wife wanted to know if I was
dropping back into barbarism , nnd de
clared that the tyranny of man would
stop at nothing. Why would I attempt
to abridge the civil rights of servant
girls by depriving them of their consti
tutional privilege to wear bustles ?
Her woman's sense of justice
was shocked , and she declared
that I would not dare suggest such
a thing if women had votes ; and
when I suggcrtcd the election frauds
that might bo practiced by women with
bustles full of ballots , she began to cry ,
and said my cruelty was inspired by
envy , because she had just that day
bought a new extra size ! )9-ccnt ) bustle ,
that made her dress stand out just
lovely. I might have it if I wanted ,
and pho would continue wearing the old
ono that was twisted all on ono sideband
made her look like a chicken going
across the wind. She enlarged upon
the subject by declaring that I bought to
deprive poor servants of their principal
source of comfort the rudder that kept
them upon their coun-o. I surely would
not deprive a poor girl of her bustle.
"And I listened to all this and moro.
Then I led bur gently into the kitchen
and-unhooked the bustle Honesty had
left hanging behind the door. Honesty
is the name of our servant girl that was.
There was something prophetic in the
choice on her christening day. I
quietly unhooked Honesty's bustle from
the door and emptied from it a half
pound of tea , six of the babies' most
useful articles of clothing , one
towel , two pounds of sugar , three sil
ver spoons , a bottle cf pickles , a beef
steak , a uox of tinted cosmetic and a
pair of stocidngs. My wife fainted dead
away after she had hecured the rouge
and hid it from my sight in the black
folds of her own dress. Now she weeps
when I como homo to dinner , nnd de
clares that we'll never get a servant
who is willing to dispense with a bustle
for the consideration of $16 per month ,
unless Mr. Goodmakor , the missionary ,
can got us ono , way off there where
they eat folks and don't wear any
clothes at all. Then she covers her
face with her hands and says it would
never do for a borvnnt to answer the
door bell dressed that way. Meanwhile ,
by n laborious mathematical process , I
have been calculating the capacity of
Honcstv'u bu&tlo , and lind it to hold just
three half pecks and a pint , which is
ample storage room , if used only for
transportation and not permanent stor
age , for half my regular family supply
of groceries and provisions , not to men
tion dry goods and notions. "
