A GOOD OMEN, THIS Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Make a Most Creditable Showing. ■ NEW YORK, Fob. 12—In the ■ face of the general depression in financial circles and the shrinkage i in industrial and other securities I no better evidence of the general prosperity of the country and the j thrift of the people could he given than is contained in the recent statement of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. Ths company shows a great gain in assets and notwithstanding market depression a handsome gain in surplus. It issued in 1903, $398,889,074 of new insurances—a larger amount than that issued by any company in the world. It has done this for the last ten years. It has 7,523,915 policies in force which is a larger number than is held by all the other regular life insurance companies in America put together, less one; equivalent to policies on one tenth ot the total population, of the United States, greater than | the combined population of twenty nine states and territories, for, as the reports puts it, greater than the combined population of Greater New York. Chicago, Philadelphia. Boston and St. Louis. When one realizes that an average of one out of every ten human beings, ■ men. women and children one passes on the street is insured in the Metropolitan Life, the wide spread beneficence of this great company can be appreciated. The j income of the Metropolitan Life in 1903 was $49,887,804.11, and it paid out to policy holders and added to its reserve fund $985,82.7(5, every business day of the past year. The company now holds assets of $105,656.311.60 for the benefit of its policy holders and a reserve fund consisting of capital and surplus over and above liabilityof $106,918,- ’ 00. The success of the Metropoli- 1 tan has been so great that it recent- ! ly announced a special dividend which will amount to about $600,000. in addition to over four and a half millions paid in the past seven years, to certain classes of policy ' holdres who had continued with the company, a dividend not nominated in the insurance contract and wnich is a windfall of the policy holders. The growth of this compmy form $63,000,000, in 1883 to $1,342,381,457 of insurance in force in 1903 is one of the wonders of the insurance world. Election Notice.

DON’T TAKE LONG — i After a Few Short Years Even Greal Men Are Forgotten. j Ina lonesome country graveyard i five miles from Louisville, the New > Albany Ledger says, there is an old vault on whose rusty door may be seen the words, “Zachary Taylor, died 1850.’’ Here in this lonely spot overgrown with vines and weeds, and visited by less than a dozen people a year, is the tomb of a president of the United States, neglected, almost forgotten, yet there are men living who remember the time when his name was heard as frequently as Roosevelt's is heard now. He was the hero of the Mexi can war, commanded the American army from its entry into Mexico and in all its fights between the Texas border and Monterey, including the bloodiest battle of the war.—Buena Vista and Reseode a Palma.—Ligonier Banner.
