AS A RULE, BASED UPON MOST ABSURD FALLACIES Why the System of Life Insurance Offers the Most Absolute Pro tection When Other Forms of Investment Are Uncertain. BY HERBERT VANDERHOOF. It is an experience that every life in surance solicitor Is at some time or an other called upon to undergo that the men of the best Intelligence on business matters and affairs in general display the greatest ignorance and denseness when it comes to the question of life insur ance. If this Ignorance was of the passive form, as a rule, the lot of the solicitor would not be aa hard a one as it gen erally is. The great trouble with this class of persons is, however, that their lack of knowledge upon any topic takes the combative phase they will attempt to prove their perfect acquaintance with their subject and at the same time the absolute ignorance of the person with whom they may be arguing. These are hard men to insure, and the frequency with which they are induced to take out policies speaks volumes for the good temper and ability of the so licitors. One of the stock arguments of this unthinking class is: "Why should I take out a policy? Why should I pay a life insurance com pany a certain sum every year to insure my life? If the company can afford to take this risk and make money, as they all do, I can afford to take the same risk and at the same time have the use of my own mpney. I am fully as able to take care of my money as the insurance company is, and if I live twen ty years, which is what your company is willing to take a risk that I do, I'll have as much money as if I had taken out a policy." The trouble with this class of per sons is that they look upon the business of life insurance fron the wrong point of view. They assume- that the business is a gamble pure and simple, and that the only way they can beat the game is by dying. But even by their own rule (of logic they are wrong, because they entirely eliminate the element of chance as regards themselves, and base their opinion upon their own infallibility of judgment. Most Sacred of Obligations. In the first place, life insurance should never be entered upon as a money mak ing proposition. It is one of the most sacred obligations that rest upon every man to take care that those Tie loves and who are dependent upon him in life are not left destitute after his death. No man can afford to ignore the fact that death is liable to come at any mo ment. The strong,' healthy man is just as liable to be suddenly overtaken as the weak and delicate one. In the second place, no man can afford to insure his own life unless he is many times a millionaire, and even then it is a bad proposition. Riches are apt to take flight at any day, and the mil lionaire of one week is the poor man of the next. If he has been -wise in his days of prosperity he has placed the future of his family beyond all vicissitudes by the insurance he has taken out, and can then afford to take his reverses philosophically. But no man can affprd to take this risk Upon his own-'-life simply because the life insurance company^ can do so and thrived Ldfe insurance is a science which has been built up to rts present (magnificent proportions by years of ex perience. An insurance company does not insure one man and bet that he is going to live so many years. It does know. average duration of life is going to be among a thousand men, and its premium rates are based upon this average mor tality. A certain percentage of this thou sand will die every year, but it is beyond the power of human agency to say who will be the victims. I the third place, how many- men are there who are capable of investing their own money and not making un fortunate investments? Not one man in a thousand. Even if they leave their money in a savings bank, where it will have nothing to do but gradually increase through compound interest, who is going to assure the stability of the bank? How often is it that the savings bank goes under and with it the accumulated sa\ ings of thousands of people? How much is ever realized from such wrecks? Very little. lv/1 I cease a OHUROH SERVICES TOMORROW METHODIST. .TRINtTYfe-Rev. W. A. Shannon.

But few people ever are satisfied with the small interest paid by the savings banks, and after they have accumulated a snug sum, it is only human nature to look about for a form of investment that will yield them a larger return. It was this class of people that the United States Steel corporation especially appealed to when it was launched a few years ago, and nobody will ever know of the hun dreds of millions that were withdrawn from the banks and invested in the se curities Of the billion dollar trust. Why not? they reasoned. Here-is the common stock selling around 40 and paying 1 per cent quarterly. That is equal to 10 per cent a year for money. I'll take my money out of the bank where it is only earning 3 per qent and put it in Steel common. The money is still in Steel common, but dividends have long since la Yt i ther 1Ittl pteo resumption for ma ns yea rh pome. thei As a result, there are few people whro are ever competent to take care of their small savings and increase them steadily for any continued period of time. Oppor tunities are always offering the man with a few hundreds or a few thousands that appear sure money-makers, but the vast percentage of such opportunities turn out to be dead losses 'in the end. Here is where the life insurance com panies have the advantage. The men wh6 manage them are men who have been trained to the investment of the funds intrusted to their care, and who have exceptional opportunities for the investment of money in the soundest se curities. As a matter of fact, the laws of the various states prescribe what kind of securities they can Invest in, and by the large scale in which they buy these securities they are enabled to get them on much more advantageous terms than the small investor. Great Gains In Assets. It is a significant fact in this con nection that the assets of the great life insurance companies all show remarkable gains from the appreciation in the value of securities held by them over the prices at which they were bought. It is the rare thing to ever have a loss recorded, and even when it is, this loss is of In significant proportions compared to the whole. That this should be so is not so remark able a fact when it is considered that the investment of these great funds is not left to the individual judgment and discretion of one man, but that the finance committees of the life insur* ance companies are composen of the most astute and keenest finan ciers that the country possesses. "In numbers the're is safety," and the old saying has its most powerful ex emplification in the case of the life Insur ance companies' investments. But there is extravagance in manage ment, is the argument of the unthinking. Salaries are tremendous and there are too many "syndicate" operations. To the man who has only a few thousands a year it may appear like extravagance to hear of big salaries paid to a few .Im^&,.^'tt.te.$.>r, flife insurance officials, but when it fs considf ered that these men have the custody of funds amounting to hundreds of mil lions, and that they have handled these to the steady gain of the policy-holders, the contention seems puerile. The men who hold the policies have not shown any alarm the lovers of "sensationalism" are the only ones who are at #,11 troubled.

DERHATOLOCHST WOODBURY, 163StateSt.,c*r^rtare,Chicago 11 CHILD HEARTS GLADDENED SALVATION AEMT CHRISTMAS TREE BRINGS JOY TO 400 POOE LITTLE ONES.' Four hundred children, to whom, Christmas usually' means unrealized* longings and the pain of watching the joys of more fortunate boys and girls, dipped deep in the happiness of yule tide at the barracks of the Salvation Array last night. A large Christmas tree, heavily laden'with sweets and banked by great piles of clothing, was the property of these pinch-faced lit tle ones. Their individual presents were not valuable, but the candy and nuts were more than they had ever enjoyed, and the articles of clothing were in every case things of which they were in dire need. Any backwardness that might have' existed was dissipated as soon as the children were seated. The araiy band struck up an air that is known to all and they joined in singing. With the song over the youngsters were not held in restraint and the festivities were on. First were distributed the articles of clothing. Every boy and girl drew two or more articles which were most need ed. The clothing was not shabby, eith er, for the people of Minneapolis have given more generously this year than ever before. For some of the tiny ones who were present and the youngsters' brothers and sisters who had been un able to come were toys, which will not so soon be discarded as they are by the discontented rich man's boy. The distribution of bags of candies and nuts was the climax, and a fit one, too. There was a great plenty and sev eral little urchins carried extra sacks for crippled little brothers and" who were not able to be out.1 sjstefs 2 *"j VICTIM IDENTIFIES HIM Jackson Says Anderson Was One of the Highwaymen.

A OALIFOENIA TEIP Winter Months Afford Best Opportunity for Merchants and Many Others to Get Away from Business. From the Commercial Bulletin, Minne apolis, Saturday, Dec. 2, 1905. Hundreds of people who read thisi paner are planning a trip to the west* coast and a stay of a few weeks at leasf in' lower California. Wincer is a vacation season and California the vacation land. Which way shall we go? That is the question" many are asking now.j Right here the "Omaha Road" comes,' forward with a through car service ton*. California unsurpassed in the history of railway travel. Three times each week a^ through tourist car leaves the twin cities over the Omaha'' line for southern Califor nia. One goes by Omaha, Ogden, Sacramento, San Francisco and down the coast to Los Angeles. Another goes by Omaha, Kansas City and thence over" the Santa Fe through Southeastern Colorado, and across New Mexico and Arizona to Los Angeles. A third route, which is already prov ing decidedly popular, is by Omaha, Ogden', Salt Lake City and down the New San Pedro and Los Angeles road recently constructed and known as the Clark road. This route takes the tourist through a country full of inter esting features and much of it but lit tle known until this railway was built. It runs just belcw the famous Death Valley region and its equally famous mining camps, crossing parts of Utah, Nevada and California. This is the shortest through car route between the twin cities and lower California. This gives the tourist choice of three splendid routes, the best through car service, and all at a reasonable price. The traveler has no changes to make after leaving the twin- cities. These cars, their appointments and the serv ice in every respect, are all that the most particular and critical travelers can desire. Home comforts are there and, as a successful North Dakota mer chant recently said to the writer. "You always meet nice people traveling on the Omaha's tourist sleeping cars." Tourist cars are the preference of those numerous people who wish to travel comfortably at reasonable cost. Each car has its colored porter in charge. Cars are vestibuled, lighted with gas, carpeted, have comfortable mattresses, regular Pullman blank ets, pillows, berth curtains and clean bed linen is furnished# each night. These cars are heated in the same manner as first-class Pullman sleepers, except that each heater is supplied with an enclosed oven in which coffee, tea, etc., may be warmed, and adjoining is a sink with hot water faucet. General Passenger Agent T. W. Teasdale of the Omaha road, who ha given the subject of California travel much study and who has been greatly instrumental in brin'ging the through car service to its present high stand ard, is much pleased with the splendid endorsements the traveling public is giving the Omaha's fine arrangements for California travel. He believes that travel California-ward will show a bij$ increase this season*.
