"The American people are extravagant," Bald B. H. Roblson, president of the Bank era Reserve Life association, aa be turned toward a newspaper man who was seeking a story. "They are unwilling to submit to the rigid economy which makes fortunes for their business associates born on the other side of the water or bred and trained by an cestors who learned to husband all their resources in the hard school of experience In foreign lands. "Household expenditures, pleasure par ties, Junkets and culture in America mean large drafts upon the breadwinner's purse. The children of America require larger sums of money for their comfort and con venience than the elders of foreign families count necessary. "In our land money comes easy and It goes easy. The average salaried man with a wife and children seldom lays by any thing until past middle life. School, church, society and a bit of travel take up whatso ever sums are not consumed for food, cloth ing and other actual necessities. "The young men acquire habits of luxury which absorb most of their earnings, and the average American wage-earner is usually dependent upon steady employment for the requirements of his person or his household. "Were it not for life insurance in one form or another the dependents of the ordi nary citixen would be left with little or no resources when death calls the head of the household from the counting room to the grave. "The fraternities protect hundreds of thousands of our people from want. The life Insurance companies save the families of other hundreds of thousands from dis comfort, if not distress. ' "The life Insurance companies are the safest, best and most profitable form of savings institution in America. A twenty payment policy in the Bankers Reserve Life Is not only a protection for the beneficiar ies, but a positive, unfailing bank account for the breadwinner himself. With its cash surrender values, its loan values and the other liberal options offered by this and kindred forms of life Insurance , policies every man earning money can make sure of saving something, while at the same time protecting his family. "I would not have a policy In a fraternal order lapse," continued the president of the Bankers Reserve Life, "but I wish every man in business or at work for wages could be made to understand the Im portance of carrying a policy In a company like the Bankers Reserve Life. "Our policies are as good as government bonds. They are available assets in the hands of the policy holders. Whether car ried for the full term or .used as collateral or cashed up before maturity, they are equivalent at all times to a bank account. In sickness, financial misfortune or death they are Invaluable. I wish you would in vite your readers to correspond with me upon this subject. The newspapers do not appreciate the Importance to the com munity of life insurance." Hello! AJJRooi. SALESMEN AND AutfiTS WAriTD. ... alar MIL n lnrat an. -i tT? .

These people make toys of their Inventions and enslave themselves to them until they think there Is nothing greater In earth or heaven than the work of their hands. "We need nothing of theirs," he con cluded grimly, "save their marvelous can nonthat we may be able to keep out the ' rest of their civilisation." Ras Makonnen, the right hand man of King Menelik of Abyssinia, gathered a poor opinion of civilisation when he visited Europe to attend King Edward's corona tion. He was Indiscreet enough to wear his Abyssinian costume in the streets of London, and the small boys shouted rude remarks when he passed by. "It is a land without manners or decency." be said indignantly. "We In Abyssinia courteously receive European travelers In their strange garb, and any body who mocked them would be severely punished by the Negus. But when I told an English prince that his own soldiers had laughed at me, his guest, he only said, "Oh, you must not mind that; it Is a way they have.' It seems that the princes have no power In this land. The common peoplesons of dogs with the habits of pigs are kings." The courtiers told off by King Edward to look after the Ras tried to efface the the memory of his humiliation by giving him a good time. They showed him arsenals, dockyards, theaters, cathedrals and everything they thought would im press him. It was of no use. He asked the question most barbarians ask, "Do these things make you happier or better roenT" The theaters and music halls shocked him terribly. "How can you go to these . places to see women dance shamelessly, half clothed?" he exclaimed. "And not only go, but take your wives and children! You make a puppet show of vice, and then you call us uncivilized. If this is civilisation, if the drunken men who swarm riotously In your Btreets at night are produced by civilisation, we Abyssinlans had better re main barbarians." Ras Makonnen's disapproval of the soubrette is shared by most barbarians, especially If they are good Mahommedans. A Moorish visitor in Marseilles was even more shocked than the worthy Abyssinian. "It seems horrible to me," he said, "that your European women walk with uncov ered faces In the streets and talk to me openly and shamelessly s they choose, even contradicting their own husbands. But the women on the stages of your theaters well, I cannot think of them without shame." This same Moor waa taken to a ball in Paris by a French friend. In silent horror he watched men and women dancing to gether and at last confided to his friend that in a truly civilised country like Mor occo such women would be deservedly strangled. His hostess, taking pity on his loneliness, asked whether he would care to dance with her, but he sternly refused to have anything to do with proceedings which he considered utterly depraved. In an Italian hamlet in Venesuela lives a well-educated Guaraguanes Indian who had paid a visit to New York. Asked by a traveler what he thought of that city, he replied: "It Is a wonderful place, truly; and full of marvellous things of which I had not even dreamed. But the men who live there must verity be accursed of God and the Saints. How can there be any happi ness in their lives? They are always rush ing to and fro madly, as If a Jaguar pur sued them. Better the trees of the forest than those tall buildings which shut out the sua. "Why do men wealthy men, I am told" imprison themselves In those buildings all day long? Is that the way they were meant to live? Are they not wasting their lives in a vain pursuit of gold which will do them no real good?" Turkish Woman's Life (Continued from Page Four.) of errors takes place. The young hus band is often depressed to the depths of despair when he sees the prise the mar riage lottery has given him. letter on, of course, he is free to divorce his spouse, with or without good cause, but not with out a substantial sum of money. This proviso, which the law very strictly en forces, acts as a wholesome check on divorce. Polygamy, therefore. Is a costly luxury nowadays In Turkey, and no more than 6 per cent of the male population indulge in it. In many cases, when a Turk marries, the parents of Ms bride In sist on his signing a clause in the con tract undertaking not to marry a second wife so long as bis first is alive and un divorced. And thus the average marriage tends to resemble that of the west more and more. The husband treats his wife as his equal, and although her apartments (the harem) and his (the selamyk) are al ways separate, he sometimes cornea and takes counsel with her, and sometimes coffee and cigarettes. The women, who are but children of a larger growth, are not educated,' accom plished or skilled In the performance of household duties. All the shopping Is done by the willing husband, unless he is wealthy enough to pay a manager and watchful enough to keep him honest. There are no cupboards in the house, and few of the arrangements without which an European lady could not conceive of fam ily life. All Arabia breathes from the snndal-wood toilet box of 'the stately Circassian or soft, languid Georgian, and her stiff, rustling silks are perfumed like cachets. Of late years French, English and Belgian governesses have materially con tributed to spread a knowledge of music, to impart a love of art, and to awaken and foster a sense of womanly dignity, which will end by breaking down the ar tificial walls which so often turn the woman's apartments Into a gilded cage. In High Favor One who has Investigated the subject thoroughly declares that stenographers have a much better chance of winning husbands than any other class of women workers. The demands for their serv ices aa workers is said to be unfailing. That is said to be because It Is the gate to matrimony, and the ranks are constantly being depleted to recruit wedding proces sions. For this reason the demand for wo men stenographers continues despite the constant turning out of new material from the business colleges. From the colleges and schools the stenog raphers come in the hundreds. They have little difficulty In entering the offices of business bouses, corporations and firms. . Their predecessors have left to marry the business man, one of his clerks, one of the customers with whom she dealt or someone she has met by reason of being In the office. In no other line of business, It In said, sre the matrimonial chances so good. The stenographer has more opportunity than any other of her sinters In other work to come In contact with eligible men. Qualities which help to brighten an of fice may do the same for a home, and many men whose business requires their strictest application, not leaving them time for extended observation, discover that the young women working In their offices possess the attributes they would desire in wives. The school teacher, it Is argued, may be Just as pretty and Just as sweet tem pered as the woman engaged in any other work, but she devoted her working hours to children whose affection may be pleas ant to have, but not effective so far as the future Is concerned. The stenographer, on the other hand, is likely to produce af fection in men who have the ability. If they have the inclination, to offer ber a home. An Apt Pupil "The great trouble with you," said Mrs. Jaggvby to her husband the next morn ing, "is your Inability to say "no." Learn to say It at the proper time and you will have fewer headaches." "I can see where you are right, my dear," replied he of the throbbing tem ples. "By the way." continued Mrs. J., "I want to do a little shopping today. . Can you let me have $10?" "No," answered the wily Jaggsby, with out a moment's hesitation. Chicago News. Pointed Paragraphs Many an honest man eats pie with a knife. Nothing tires one more than to hear others boast of their honesty. Any girl who marries to please ber folks usually gets the worst of it. Loaning money strengthens the memory; borrowing It causes forgetfulness. An automaton manufacturer recently made a toy tramp but It wouldn't work. If the electric chair Is an Instrument of death where does the accordion come in? How the meat ever got in between the bones of the shad Is one of the things be yond all human understanding. Friendship Is all well enough In Its way, but when a man wants to make a touch It la better to strike an acquaintance. A magaslne recently contained a poem written by "A Man Who Thinks." It is be lieved to be the first poem of the kind ever published. According to statistics only It per cent of the players In foot ball games In the last ten years have been Injured. The managers will have to do better than that If they are to bold the crowds. Chicago News. THE- IIALFTQTil PLATES FUR7USIIED THE ILIaVSTRSTBD BEE Atq Enr aVedby the BAKER BI SaKffilIKG CO.
