A STAUNCH HOME COMPANY. Organized In Omaha; OfficereU by Nebr.tskans; Investments In Nebraska Securities. THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE Una Drraonalrnlril the Vnlne of llnlldliiK 1p Nebraska Institu tions In ftehraaka. n. II. Roblson, president of the Bankers Reserve Life association, when interviewed by a Bee reporter In the elegant h-im office of the association In the McCague building, after showing with Rome pride a dozen applications for new policies re ceived In a single mail, ra'd: "We four.dcd this company upon a theory which I believed was sure to win. Having been actively Identified with life Insurance in the west for more than a quarter of a century, I saw plainly that the principle upon which our people were operating was fundamentally wrong. "Life Insurance companion are saving Institutions. The funds of these companies are the surplus savings of their patrens. They are not only the largest trust com panies In the world, but their earnings and reserves belong to the policy hold ers. They cannot honetttly be diverted from the single purposi of Indemnity and kindred dividends. "Now, I snw from the reports of the De partment of Insurance that Nebraska wan contributing $1, COO, 000 a year to non-resident corporations for a little over $300,000 a year Indemnity. In other words, while beneficiaries received $300,000, the people at large were every year piling up $1,200, 000 in eastern money vaults, never to be returned, "It therefore occurred to me that the prosperous, Intelligent people of Nebraska would see at once the Importance of stop ping this debilitating draught upon the commercial vitality of the state. There la only one way to put an end to this state of affairs: Build up home companies. "Therefore the Hankers Reserve was or ganized and It Immediately appealed to our own people to aid In the purposes rf Its organization. The alien companies quickly apprehended the danger and they have unremittingly fought Its progress at every step. "Nevertheless, our growth has been steady, rapid, phenomenal, our death leases, owing to the extraordinary rare taken In accepting risks, has been far below that of any American company. We have passed rhe 4,000,000 mark and last year we had a premium Income of over $100,000. "The people have shown the appreciation of the efforts of the management. Our advisory board of 400 of tho best citizens of the state Is a source of power and a conservative element In cur progress and Si protection from Irapra'.tlon. "We are very grateful to the loyal people of this state for their cordial sup port and they will be glad to know that we are reaching out Into other states. By the end of the year 1902 we shall have from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000 at risk and a premium income of $200,000. All our In vestments are made In Nebraska; our securities are deposited with the Insur ance department at Lincoln and we are directly under the supervision of the department. "I can give profitable employment to 100 good underwriters. The company Is a pronounced success. It la one of the financial forces of the state. "We wish to push its businera with all the energy possible. We Invite the continued confidence and co-operation of the people and we promise to merit their approval month by month and year by year. "We desire to engage ten special, general and state agents to organise three new states. Will give active, successful pro ducers or experienced organizers giod territory and extra liberal terms.

Well, tell my friends that I'm going away back and they will find me on the end seat." These were the last words of "Billy" Rice, the noted minstrel, the curtain of whose life was rung down at Hot Springs, Ark., a few days ago. The death of Rice marks the recent pascing of a fourth of the famous minstrels who figured conspicuously In the public eye for a generation. "Jack" Hav erly, the great favorite and a most remark able manager, passed away September 28, 101, at St. Mark's hospital in Bait Lake City. "Billy" West, an artistic manager and conceded to be the greatest 'of Inter locutors, died at the Palmer house In Chi cago February 13, 1902. "Billy" Emerson, rollicking entertainer, who made people laugh with such songs as "I Feel Just as Happy as a Big Sunflower," the Beau Brum mel of vaudeville and one of the greatest cf song and dance men, ended his career In destitute circumstances In a cheap hotel in Boston February 22, 1902. These four, who did their last "turn" on earth at points so widely separated, were known to the public from one end of the country to the other, and In Europe and Australia. "No minister is perfect, any more than other men are," writes our former minister to China, Hon. Charles Denby, In the March Forum, "and if ho has any weakness the newspaper man will find it out. If he Is poor and cannot entertain largely he Is de nounced as stingy. If he spends money lav ishly he Is 'aping royalty.' ;t he Is atten tive to the fair sex, he Is Immoral; If not, he is a savage. Even the missionaries some times attack him. One of them kindly told me onee that he had 400,000 men In bis church behind him. I told him in reply that I had 75,000.000 behind me." The late Charles Lewis Tiffany began his business life In New York under condi tions In no way prophetic rf his future suc cess," says the Brooklyn Eagle. "Born and ducated In a rural communl y, he came to this city in 1837 without any other capital than that of an innate aptitude for trade, which led him to borrow $1,000 from his father in order that he might establish a small stationery and fancy goods store on lower Broadway. As his partner he had a young fellow townsman of his own named Young. The first day'a sales amounted to a trine mere than $7 and for a time It looked as though the venture of the two young men from the Nutmeg state was doomed to early and ignominious failure; it was then that Tiffany's business sense asserted Itself, and, getting together more money, he pledged the firm to a policy of progressiveness that staggered competitors who were traveling slowly, because times were bad and enter prise hod become timid In the face of al ways impending failure. Tiffany disre garded the danger signals of the season and that he won out was a tribute to his daring no less than a vindication of his foresight." Canadians may be expected not to appre ciate this anecdote of Lord Dufferln, related by T. P. O'Connor: Lord Dufferln always said the happiest years of his long official life were those spent in Calcutta. He rev elled in the sunshine. A friend one day ex postulated with him for his reckless ex posure of himself to the weather. "Well, you see," said the viceroy, "they've always aent me to cold places. They sent me as viceroy to Canada, where cne must live two- Yr's of the year In buffalo furs. The sent me to St. Petersburg, where one has to hibernate like a bear. So when they or dered me to India I rubbed my hands and said to myself, 'Now I can hang mvself up to dry "' While In London receutly J. i'lerpont Morgan visited the Bank of England with a large currency note, for which he wished to obtain go!d. The teller examined the note and handed it back. "You have not endcrsed it," be said, glad of an opportunity to occupy an attitude. "Is this not payable on demand?" asked Mr. Morgan, simulating surprise "Yes, if endorsed" haughtily. The magnate frowned. "I am very care ful whose notes I endorse," he said, with mock severity. "Do you challenge the Bank of England? gasped the clerk, gazing at the visitor as upon a blasphemer. "If you are solvent, why do you want my name on your paper?" The glare of suspicion which accompanied the words was too much for the clerk; he stared speechlessly. "Very well," continued the magnate, with vigor, "we will let it go to protest." The petrified clerk looked alarmed about it, but could offer nothing in reply except a mumbled and ridiculous assurance that the bank was not In distress. Then Mr. Morgan smiled and endorsed the note. King Oscar of 8wedtn possesses a medal for life-saving. One winter In the early '60s he was staying at Mcnte Carlo, when he taw a pair of horsos coming up the street at full gallop. The coachman had disap peared and the two women Inside the car rlage were evidently terrified almost out of their wits. The king (crown prince be then was) sprang at the hones' heads, seized their bridle and, using all bis strength, stopped them. For this plucky deed he was awarded the medal of the French Humane aoicety.
