Kohlson, President of Omaha's Own Life Insurance Company, the Successful BANKERS RESERVE LIFE Sot Content with the Phenomenal Achievement of III Company at Home, Move Into Jifw Territory. "Last week we obtained license to do business In the state of Michigan, " said B. II. Robison. pres'dcnt of the Bankers Re serve Ufe Association. "We have ap pointed a general agent In that state. The insurance department gave us a cordial welcome and we expect results from this field which will startle some of our active alien competitors. "Life Insurance is no longer an expert ment and the Bankers Reserve Is not now an Infant. Our company has fought Its way to the front. Insurance commission ers throughout the Union approve its plan of Insurance and cordially extend the right hand of fellowship. The malignant com petitor Is silenced by the facts of the past two years, during which our company iia forged forward in a manner which makes the criticism of Jealous business rivals ' ridiculous. "Every Nebraskan, loyal to the common wealth, bids Godspeed to every worthy Ne braska enterprise. Only the mercenaries of the Life Insurance trust are willing to attempt the Injury of Nebraska's strongest and most vigorous company.' "With nearly 14,000,000 written on Ne braska Uvea, we go Into the adjacent states with an endorsement from our own people of which we are Justly proud. It is a card of Introduction which carries the proof of the high standing of the Hankers Reserve on Its face. It Is the best guaranty of soundness a young business organization can offer to a strange community. "Colorado, Utah and South Dakota are also opened to the Rankers Reserve. No Insurance department of any state in the Union will refuse the Rankers Reserve en trance, because an examination Into Its af fairs convlncea all Insurance experts that it Is building upon a safe foundation and Its policies are modern, business-like and secure. "I am, personally, very proud of the Bankers Reserve, but It could not have been so successful except for the loyal people of our state, who have manfully risen In their might to push along the good work It has undertaken. "We promise to continue to deserve the approval and confidence of our patrons, and with their help will build In Omaha one of the greatest financial Institutions of the great west." We can give lucrative contracts and choice territory to ten addlt'onal special, general or state agents.

W. Waybrlght of Denver told the fol- lowing story to a New York Tribune re- porter the other evening In the course of a talk about Abraham Lincoln and the men of his time: "Judge Foley of Lincoln, III.," said Judge Waybrlght, "was brought up In the shadow of Lincoln and Douglas. The Judge once told me a tale that he had had from Douglas himself of a murder case In which the 'little giant was once engaged. Douglas had Just been admitted to the bar, when he was called upon to go down Into the country, some thirty miles from any where, to defend a man accused of murder. The preliminary examination took place late In the afternoon before a backwoods Justice of the peace, who wholly mistook his powers and authority In the matter. Under the English common law all that a P. can do in a murder case Is. If orob- able cause or reasonable probability of guilt more. ton of feathers or a ton of coal?" Is shown, to bind the accused over for In- "A ton of feathers," chorused they, show dlctment by the grand Jury, which, being 'n that tne Innocent are not necessarily one, the case Itself must be tried by a petit Jury. This was, of course, all that this J. P. could have done legally, but, as the event proved, he did not think so, and, hat was more, he came within an ace of making that thought stick. He broke suddenly Into Douglas argu ment with the words, 'I find the accused guilty and sentence him to be hanged at 6 clock tomorrow morning.' Douglas en- tered a strong protest. He showed the P. that he was exceeding his authority, nd that If he hanged the man It would be neither more nor less than murder. "Ho might as well have talked against or at the four winds of heaven. The J. P. was as adamant, and at once supplemented his sentence by an order to the constable to see that it was strictly carried out and, to that end, to erect the gallows lnstanter. Douglas, beside himself, appealed to the leading storekeeper and explained how mat- ters stood. 'Well, I dunno.' rejoined that orthy, 'the squire's powerful sot In his ways, and If he said Bill has got to hang I recKon mil win nave to. ir I was you and really wanted to save him I'd employ lawyer. Houglas was quick to grasp the fuiui, iftiiu wnru w iirro uo cuuiu nan a lawyer. The only one within reach as Jim Simmons, who I'ved some ffteen miles away, and In between was a stretch of as vllllanous roadbed as ever existed. The storekeeper, however, supplied buggy and a guide, and Douglas s'arted the ride. The 'wee sma hours found ths future 'Idol of the people' at Simmons' I home, and that legal light was soon routed out of bed and the case explained to him. Again a demurrer and another, and more decided reference to the 'sotness' of the squire In his ways. Again more scruples and fears overcome, and the reluctant. Sim mons was at length persuaded to accom pany and Join Douglas In another attempt o prevent the threatened execution. 'But, stranger,' protested Simmons, you're putttn' me to an all-fired heap of trouble, and I'll have to charge you right smart for It, especially as BUI orter he hung anyway.' " 'How much?' tersely queried Douglas. " 'Five dollars!' rejrlned the grasping Sim mons, and with a gold piece or that de nomination In his hand the twain started on the return Journey. "It was searing 6 when they got back to the little backwoods settlement, and not a second was lost In getting the Justice out of bed. In the worst of humors, he listened to luminous argument, and then, with a snap, reiterated his sentence. 'I appeal from your sentence,' put In the brilliant and desperate Simmons. Douglas said nothing. Simmons had no more right to appeal than the Justice had to sentence. It was, however, no time for legal quibbles, or. Indeed, for legal knowledge. The Jus tice hesitated. 'Jim,' he Anally said, 'you've got the right to appeal, and If you Insist I'll have to put off the execution. but If I do I'll have to make you put uo a powerful lot of money as hall for Bill d d sight more than he's worth!' he wound up, testily How much?' said Douglas, automatic ally. " 'Well, stranger. replied the Justice, I'll have to have SIS' "Douglas arranged for the ball, and 'Bill' was afterward legally tried by a Jury of his peers and sentenced to tha gallows, but the experience was not lost on the young law yer. To his dying day Judge Douglas de listed to tell the tale." One on Polonius Portland Oregonian: Polonius, behind the arras, heard the clanking of Hamlet's sword and began to shake. At this the prince laughed merrily. "You're all right as a shaker.

Sausage While You Wait PhtladelDhla Record: "Another new waiter has come and gone," said the vet eran of the 15-cent restaurant as he de posited a beef stew In front of his favorite customer. "What was the matter wun him?" asked the favorite customer. "Well, It wasn't exactly his fault," explained the veteran. "You aee, ths second day hs was here a customer comes In and asks for a brace of Frankfurters. 'Sausage Is all out,' says the new waiter, 'but If you wait awhile I think I can get you some.'
