One of the ‘hard-to-get-a-start’ life insurance companies of Chicago has recently been offering the citizens "of Fort Wayne so-called life insurance at the price of $5 per thousand, any plan, any age. Because of the fact that hundreds of thousands of dollars of the stuff had been previously sold in Indianapolis at $2 per thousand, a wail of complaint emanates from Fort Wayne, claiming unfair discrimination, Itlsmore than likely that the price paid in either city will prove to be be quite too much for value received. But people like the bunco game—particularly the insurance bunco game.

Dan Shannon, ‘Baptist revivalist, has been holdirfi} meetings here during the last three weeks and quite lately has increased the number of his converts at a surprising rate.

He’s better, now, and the druq and .express business receives his full attention, .

A happy new year!
