An ordinary Life Insurance Policy provides an estate for your dependents after your death. An Installment Bond Policy IB free from the claims of creditors , piovides for death and also for one's advancing years. years.Tho National Installment I3ond Policy olTers both ad vantages combined in one , and at a much reduced cost. This Hoiul Policy is superior to ordinary Life Insur ance , because you need not "die to win. " Superior to ordinary Endowment Insurance , because much less expensive. "Tontine" Insurance Superior to : 1st. Becaufco the results are not estimated , but fixed In a nositlvc contract. id. ! Because there is no forfeiture of payments on dis continuance of the policy , a Cash Valuebeing Guaranteed. THIS NATIONAL Lin : is the only company , which , issuing a bond policy , guarantees a cash return if you wish to dis continue. Buplnc's men appreciate the advantages of this now form of insurance , ami nro largely Investing in It because : The annual deposit is practically saved , while it se cures needed insurance during adesignated period ami isii good. safe , paying investment. Every intin who desires to protect his family and himself , should buy one of these In stallment Bonds , while ho is in good health , as this com pany selects its risks with great care , but when they issue an Installment Bond Policy it is incontestable and good as gold.Tho The Installment Bonds are Issued from ono to twenty thousand and run from ten to twenty years , payable an nually , scmi-annually or quarterly. For instance : You buy a $1,000 twenty-year Installment Bond Policy payable semi-annuiilly. Tills bond then becomes payable to you for $1.000 cash at the end of the twenty years , or your heirs will receive the $1,000 cash at once in case of death , or you can withdraw any year without loss , thus combining a sav ings' bank and insurance that is exempt from creditors , taxes and reverses. young ladies of the en t to ronie west , to llnd a market tor their piecious f elves , for there will be no room for Ilium here.

[ Corres pondence of Tim UBU. ] That "blood is thicker than water" has just been veri fied again in San Francisco in the heart history of a lady who was ono of the principals in a very fashionable wed ding at the Palace hotel on last Wednesday evening. The sixth lloor has long been known as the abode of the fashionables in the Palace. Among the oldest residents on the lloors are W. E. Brown , who is connected with the Southern Pacific railroad company , and her daughter , Mrs. Dollio Brown. It is about seven years ago since the latter married Daniel Brown , her cousin , the wedding having taken place in April , 1881. Right Rev. Bishop Kip olllciating. Rumor has it that some years before she formed an attachment for an Italian army lieutenant , whom she met while traveling in Italy , and whom bho married. A divorce followed soon after , however.- Lavish entertain ments wore given by Daniel Brown and his wife after their marriage. Only a short time elapsed before the young husband began giving strong evidence of tlio fact that his habits wore ox- trcmoly convival , and the ( lowing bowl was not exactly unknown to him. This sort of thing wont on until Ib85 , when the couple wont east together. While residing with his family in Philadelphia ho disappeared ono day very suddenly. Days wont by and no tidings came of his whereabouts. Ills distracted wife firmly believed that ho had been foully dealt with , or that something equally terrible had happened. She per sistently refused to bollovo that ho had willfully deserted her , hut hearing no tidings from him , finally returned to her family in Han Francisco. It was not long afterward that she heard ho had been seen in New York city , remarkably well and healthy. Slie soon ascertained that ho had deserted her in the most willful manner , and she thereupon took steps to obtain a divorce which was finally granted. Last Wed nesday evening nor third wedding took place , the bridegroom being another cousin , Winsor Brown , who resides in Oakland. After the ceremony the happy couple loft the city for a brief honeymoon - moon , Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Brown , the father and mother of the bride , are also divorced. Mrs. Brown is at present liv ing in Rome with two of tier children , A DAMON AM ) 1'VTIIIAS STOHY. A rathpr romantic little love affair nt Los Angeles has just como to light.

The National is the only company in the country issuing Incontestiblo Installment Bond Pol icy. This bond bo cither semiannual can purchased by annual , - nual or quarterly installments. If the purchaser at any time discontinues his install ments , the company will icdeomtho bond for Iho stipulated sum expressed on ita faco.

Shortly af ter the two easterners had settled themselves in their new domicile , nnd had become accustomed to their new surroundings , they noth discovered that one of the waitresses who attended to the mundane wants of the guests was a remarkably pretty girl , and one who , to judge from appearances , wa calcilated to adorn a position in life very much superior to that which she then occu pied. The admiration of the ono col legian was simply that of a connoisseur in beauty , whose artistic sensibilities were gratified by thcsightof the grace ful young girl who Hilled about the house in the course of her duty. With the other , however , the case was altogether dilTcrcnt. From the oycs of the shy and modest little maiden Cupid's dart had been launched and had penetrated to that soft and sen sitive spot under his left waistcoat. In other words , before he himself realixed it he was madly in love. True love never runs smooth , so it is said , and this ca o proved no exception to the rule. When the young fellow intinvitcd to his friend how matters blood there was ( juito a row. Remonstrances against his folly were of no effect , and the love-lorn swain consoled himself with the thought that if the Damon-aml-1'ythias act was played out at least lie was making a good running with the girl. The bettor ho got to know her the better and moro lovable she proved to be. Hy this timo. however , the matter had been bruited about through the hotel ; everyone knew the little love storv and how the friends had fallen out about it. As is usually the case , all the lady guests voted the girl lla sly , design ing little minx , " and did their best to stare the girl out of countenance whenever opportunity oflcred. The proprietress , when the alTair had reached this point , incontinently IIrod the pretty waitress out of the hotel , hopin- that by taking such a step har mony mightbo restored and such an im proper proceeding as a man falling in love with a woman , and vice versa , bo nipped in the bud. Easterners may bo tenderfoot , but they are not all fools , and the ono in question , though ho did not do much talking , about the tlmo his girl was discharged from her situation ho did a heap of thinking , and as an put- come of his cogitations lie and the dainty little woman of his choice were married last Friday evening. Of course ho is mad , cnr/y , clear out of his head. That is the correct thing to say , and almost everyone acquainted with the facts of the case Is loning no opportunity to say it. Mcantimo the young couple are as happy as turtle doves , and If they are crazy , at least it ib a very delicious phab'o of insanity. CIIINHSKOITIM : . That the heathen Chinee is peculiar and also understands a good game wlieti ho sees it is attested by a Chinese doc ument , soi/.ed by Inspector William Johnston , from ono of the Chinamen who came hero from Hong Kong as as alleged prior resident.

How much better , then , to luive a bond payable to oneself at an ago when ho ia more likely to bo dependent than to have others dependent on him , and on which payments may cease at any timo. without loss , than to have a policy on which nothing can bo received till death , or at the arbitrary discretion , or want of discretion of the company ? Providing in the contract only for the. contingency of death , and leaving1 wholly unprovided for an equally im portant contingency , that of living be yond the insurable interest , has proved a sad trap to thousands , and the Nation al Life Insurance C'ompany of Vermont , in issuing this admirable bond , which ia wholly free from any such Iran , has taken the grandest step in fair dealing within the history of life insurance. 'Phis bond , becoming after two years , a really negotiable security , will bo offl great use to ono who wishes to own in stead of renting a home , for it will fadl- itato procuring a long loan by which that object can be otl'ected. And it will never bo a piece of property of indeter minate value , as is the case with nearly all life insurance policies heretofore is sued. ELIZUH WWGJJT. , Miss Stella II.
