It tells its own ftory. In the "deportment markings" 200 is per­ fect. Mary Block comes very close to this, being marked 192. I think the general spirit among the children ig good, and they are generally wide­ awake and eagar to learn. If the num­ ber of absences could be lessened the coming month the efficiency of the school would be greatly increased. A day's absence does a pupil more injury than people sometimes lancy. 1 ven­ ture to say tiiat not a quarter of tli* absences marked above were at all necessary. Because a boy t'ecls a little tired, or doesn't'want to go to school mr has a "sick headache*' or stomach! ache Is no reason why he should b allowed to run the streets, and make nuisance of himself by "catcliing-on • bob-sled?. That i> not the wav the strong, heroic mer» that do the work of the world are made. A pampered, in­ dulged. lazy, shiftless boy naturally grow* Into a lazy good-for-nothing man. Ttiese are things lor parents to think of. Teaeh your boys and girls to go to achool as a duty, and y<ju have advanced them far In thestrugxle of life. If the parents aud older members of the family at home would Cake a greater Interest in the study of the children at •chaol, they would make greater prog ress. Iyet them recite their pieces, apell their words and read their lessons, and you will be astonished at tliei progress. Nothing helps a child (<> study at school as much as the fact that lie will have to go over his lessons at iiom*. It will not take lung, A few ;t ttluute* Will be sufficient. Try it. \Ht I ̂ 2 C PeoPle are always on the look VWIOEK out for chances to increase their earnings and iu time become wealthy; Those who do not improve their opportunl. ties remain in poverty.

CWIGHT, "Woodstoc Becanse it is the oldibst Company in thi United States with thirty-nine years of ex* periehce, Kccause it is Ihe largest Company in tht world. Assets, $94,702,9.18, nearly double that of any other Company. Been use it is the most popular Compaay* Its policy holders mini be i- over 100,000. Becanse every dollar of the above immense sum belong* to the policy holder*, and the siir. pins over what is actually required, is an. niiallv divided amongst them, which surplus may lie applied in cithev of Uyo ways: Kirst, to pay a portion of the annMnl premium, that materially reducing the cogtV or it may be use<l to purchase nddiiional insurance. la the latter way forty-eight policy holders of the year just pnst, holding policies, the faee value of which was iflW,-SCO, were carried foi an average term of.'!.'! years at low rates, and the additions brought the snug sum of a little over (i(H). Mainy of these policies had beea self sustaining lor years. Because the rates el'every other Compaay are nearly eighteen p«r cent, higher lhaa those of tne Mutual Life. Because Its running expenses are 'ower than any other. Tne sworn statements of the Equitable Life Assurance of New York, a company several millions less than half as large as the Mutual Life, show' its expenses of manage­ ment to have averaged 14.2:1 during the last three years, those of the Mutual Lite 7 8 the dillere'nce of tlrst cost of policy, and manage­ ment expenses alone, are equal lo 25 per teal in favor of the Mutual Life. Becanse it can and does afford the cheapest, safest and most satisfactory insurance invest­ ment of any Coin winy in the world. As it will be impossible for me to see all who are desirous of obtaining Life insurance at actual cost, l will say lo such that a postal card will always reach me at this place and on receipt of same I will forward different plans and actual results (not estimates) whiefc are certainly astonishing and out do anythiag in the history ol Life Insurance.
