ot January 1 announcing tho accidental
donth of 1'. L. Uuhmann, who was killed by
tho prcmnturo explosion of n mortar, with
which n party of young men wcro celo
hratlng tho advent of tho now century.
Young Uuhmann, who was only 21 years
ot ago, had only recently returned from tho
Philippines, whero ho served as a voluntcor
In tho Thirty-ninth Infantry. On Decem
ber 14, 1000, only eighteen days prior to his
death, young Huhmnnn had Insured his llfo
In tho Hankers Iteservo Llfo association ot
Omaha for $2,500.00, tho policy being made
payublo to his futher, Mr. C. F. Huhmann,
president of thu Cltlzons' Stnto bank of
Creston, Neb. Tho policy was a twenty-
pnyment option llfo, No. 2 tin, upon which
tho nnnunl payments wero $C8.7f, tho llrst
f which hod been paid when tho policy
wns Issued. Proofs of death wero mailed
to tho homo olllco of tho Honkers' Heservo
Llfo association on January 9, and tho fol
lowing lottor, under dato of January 10,
shows that tho claim was paid at onco:

Hankers Heservo Llfu Association, Omaha,
Nob. Gentlemen: I deslro to ncknowledgo
recolpt of your check for twenty-flvo hun
dred ($2.li00.C0) dollars, In full settlement
of my claim as beneficiary under policy No.
244R, In tho Hnnkcrs Heservo Llfo Associa
tion of Oninhn, Issued .to my only son,
I'otor L. Uuhnianu.
Ho received this policy December 14, 1000,
wnB nccldontlly killed by tho prcmnturo ex
plosion of gunpowder In n mortar whllo
colebratlng tho dawn of tho nuw century,
wns Insured for only eighteen dnyB' time.
Proofs of this claim wero ninlled you Janu-
ary 9. Your cheek of sniuu ditto for amount
of policy Just received In settlement shows
tho claim was approved Immediately on
recolpt of proofs, payment being nrndo by
return mall.
I hnvo no hesitancy In recommending
my friends to Insure In your most worthy
company, slnco your nctlon In tho lmmo
dlnto settlement of this nml other claims
Is tho best poBBlblo evidence of tho vnluo
of patronizing homo companies, to which
I nm pleased to lend my support.
1 hopo your compnny will receive tho
liberal patronngo and support to which It
Is enntllled from tho citizens of this stato
who bollovo In standing up for NobrnBka.
Yours vory truly, C. F. HUHMANN.
Tho abovo story carries moro than ono
leBson to tho thoughtful render. For one
thing It serves to lllustrnto tho mutnblllty
of human llfo. This young mnn wns but
24 yenrs of ago, his physical examination
wns satisfactory nnd thoro wns ovory ren-
son to bollovo that mnny yenrs of usefulness
wero heforo him. And yet denth camo to
him without wnrnlng, stcnllng upon him
llko an assassin of tho night. There wns
no tlmo to settle tho nffnlrs of llfo, no
time to nuiko provision for loved ones loft
behind, nnd still ho wns In a mensuro pro
pared. His policy for $2,ti00,00, In n sound
homo compnny, for which ho paid tho small
sum of (i8.7fi, wns worth 100 cents on tho
dollnr and equnl to coin gold. Thoro wns
no delay, no quibbling over Insufficient
proofs of denth, no attempt to escapo pay
ment upon a technicality. Tho promlum
wns pnld to a homo compnny, nnd, with
ether premiums received nt tho snmo tlmo,
It wns Invested In Ncbrnsko securities, and
tho loss wns pnld out of Nebraska funds
to n Nebrnsknn. And this Is tho whole
history of n great and growing homo conv
pnny, tho Hankers Heservo Llfo Assncln
tlon of Omnhn.
President Hoblson believes Hint truo pros
perity begins nt homo, that tho resources
of tho stnto must bo conserved nnd tlint
tho enormous amount of llfo Insurnncn
premiums nnnunlly sent to nllen compnnles
should remain nt homo nnd seok Investment
In tho stnto. Upon this prnctlcnl
theorv, tho nnnkers Hesorvo has been a
iihrnrm,niil success. Its business under tho
ngpresslve nnd yet eonservntlve mnnngo
mrnt of President Hoblson lins nundrupled
within tho Inst year. Nearly $3,000,000 In
surance Is now In force, evory loss hns boon
promptly pnld nnd tho company does not
owe n slnglo dollar of Indebtedness. Loynl
Nobrnsknns ovorywhoro nro proud of this
record. They npprovo of a sound nnd con
sorvntlvely managed homo compnny, and
renllzo that Its success menns their pros
prrlty and tho continued growth nnd do
volopment of Nchrnskn and the west.

World's Oldest Novels
Whero may tho oldest written literature
of tho world bo found 7 Tho philosophers
of tho eighteenth contury answered, "In
China." In tho throo first quarters ot our
contury, says tho Literary Digest, tho
honor wns snatched from tho "Mlddlo
Kingdom" nnd India wns proclaimed tho
crndlo of literature. Then enmo tho Egyp
tologists with rent texts, and not merely
with hypotheses, nnd, as was shown by an
Interesting lecturo recently dollvercd by
Prof. Ettoro Pnls beforo tho Philological
club ot Naples and published In Flcgrca,
tho claim for Egypt Is now Incontestable.
As tho subject of his lecture, Prof. Pals
choso tho romances which nro found on
many nn Egyptlnn papyrus and which nro
considered to bo thirty centuries old nt

pormancnt employ, whoso duty It was to
Invont now stories, fairy talcs and talcs of
ndvonturo ns Improbnblo as possible Wo
possess twenty such stories, found In tho
courBo of excavation mada during tho last
ton yenrs. There will bo ero long, for mod
orn rendors, a voluminous Egyptian lltora
turo of romance Of tho twenty novels al
ready published, most belong to tho Inter
val 2000 to 1000 B. C. (twelfth to eighteenth
dynnsty).
Ono of tho lntest of tho novels treats of
tho chaste lovo between Nlnus nnd Semlrn
mls. In nnothor novel, Slrcno Pnrthonope
nd young Metlochos speak of lovo, and
oth deny thnt they have over been Its vic
tim. Motlochos departs, as cold as ho
camo; Pnrthcnopo observes thnt she Is on
tho point of loving him passionately, and ns
sho does not wish to expose herself to tho
dnngcr of being obliged to rcnounco her
vestnl condition," sho cuts off her hnlr nnd
disfigures herself fnco, breast nnd arms
In a frightful manner, In order to mnko It
Impnsslblo for her to yield ngnln to the
temptntlon of trying to plenso.
Tho Egyptlnn novels nro written "demotl-
nlly," In n handwriting tho, secrets of
which nro ncccsslblo only nftor yenrs of
tudy, nnd which, nftor tho Tlbetnn hand
writing, Is certainly tho most difficult to
eclphor. Only nftor five yenrs of persist
ant work did Mnsporo succeed In trans
lating nn Egyptlnn text that In nny Euro
pean lniiRtingo would fill twenty ordinary
pages. Tho learned gentlemen who dlscov-
red thcso tnlcs for n long tlmo refused to
consider thorn ns mere fiction. It wns tholr
pinion thnt In tho lnnd of tho Pharaohs
ovorythlng must hnve boon hierarchic. In
tho year 18 10 an Egyptologist found In
Thebes n pillar on which was related that
In tho tlmo of King Hnmcscs II (Sesostrls)
tho princess of Unkhtan wns molested by
nn ovll spirit, from whom sho could bo re
leased only when tho stntuo of tho god
Kohnson wns bnnlshed temporarily. Tho
savant dcclnred that all that could bo based
only on historical fact, and Hlrch nnd
Hougo shnred his vlow. Not till tho yenr
1883 did Ermnn provo elenrly that tho story
was a mero romance.
He Had to Sing It
Ill the old dnyB when ocean voyages wore
long nnd tedious, relates tho Cleveland
Plain Denier, nn Incident occurred on board
a ship hailing from Boston nnd bound to
Calcutta which caused overy old "web-
foot" between Enstport, Mo and Capo
Sable to hold his sides to keep himself on
an "ovtn keel."
Tho otory concerns two of tho crow named
"Joo" nnd "Hnrnabas." Ono dny, aftor the
ship had been nt sea some weeks nnd wnB
rolling lazily along, Harunbns, who was
aloft on tho foreynrd, found It necessary to
lay out on the leo yardarm, whero he
lost his hold nnd tumbled overbonrd, Joe.

To cimpllcntn tho situation Joo wns an

"Ha bo ha ba f f f ," but do all

consternation thnt "something was In the

thnt tho generality of stammering pcoplo

Doing His Best
Ho wus a poor but honest worklngmnn an
his way home In a Hrimdwny ear, rotates
tho Louisville Commercial. As tho car
proceeded dawn town It was filled with
passengers and soon thu alslo wus crowded,
somu swinging on tho strnps. Tho laborer
got up from his sent, touched his hnt and
motioned to a well dressed lady to take It.
"Don't lot mo doprlvo you of your sent,
my poor man," sho sold.
Ho touched his tint and again replied:
"Oh, take It; that's all right. No depravity
at all, woman, no dopravlty at all," and
ho wondered why everybody smiled.
