Facts, Not Fancies
Concision and simplicity are words of great significance in Life Insurance
Policies. This is why the late GEO. W. V SELECTED the
MUTUAL LIFE of NEW YORK TO CARRY A MILLION DOLLAR
POLICY, which was paid within one hour after the claim was filed. Our
policies have no frills or ruffles, angelic scenes, no
big red letters of misleading prominence to beguile or deceive the unwary
applicant, but plain, simple, clear-cut, steel-clad conditions characterize
our Contracts.

There is a very good friend of mine,
whom I now call the New Innocent
Abroad, says a writer in the London
Times. Though he has lived the great-
portion of his life In the West end
of London, circumstances have always
conspired to prevent him crossing the
channel.
He cannot speak a word of French,
and last week he spent three days In
Paris.
When he came back I went to see
him.

said when I met him, I dis-
covered the ideal way of seeing a
strange city.
I wanted to go anywhere
I signaled a taxicab and showed the
driver the address I wanted. Now, all
these cab drivers are men with
wonderful intuitions. They knew at
once that f really wanted to see Paris
in all Us beauty. So they took
of me, and whenever I wanted to go
from one office to another they drove
me all round city.
after the first day I knew
that place I wanted to call at was
not more than a few hundred yards
away from the hotel. Still the cab
drivers determined I should
prove my knowledge of Paris
proper way to pursue this
method at sightseeing Is to drive for
half an hour In silence. Then you
slop the cab with violent signals, pro-
duce written address again and
flourish it in the driver's face.

DOGS AS ARTILLERY HORSES

The French First army corps Is said

which are largely utilized In the
of France for dragging milk and
other vehicles
From the economic standpoint there
Is a good deal to he said in favor of
the replacement of the horse by the
dog so far as light artillery Is con-
A Flemish dos can be
bought for francs, and cost of
feeding it does not exceed fifty
centimes a day The lowest price
of an artillery horse is francs, and
the daily cost of Its upkeep amounts
to two francs In other words, the
first cost of horse Is at least four
times as great, and It costs four times
as much to feed Moreover, for
francs It Is possible lo buy a dog In
much condition than the ma-
of the French artillery horses.
