The past at least is secure and it is the best guide for the future. The STATE MUTUAL LIFE ASSUEANCE COMPANY OP WORCESTER, MASS., has a 61-year record upon these points, which is surpassed by no other company in the world. For illustration, during the year 1905 the entire Home Office ex- pense of the STATE MUTUAL was only $74,000. This includes the salaries of the entire official staff and the large force of clerks employed at the Home Office to care for a business of 107 millions of insurance and assets of oyer 25 millions. This is one of the results of the Massachusetts insurance law and Massachusetts insurance supervision. Every applicant for insurance should consider a STATE MUTUAL proposition before placing his business. Pull informa tion given by any of the company's agents. C. W.

'The of the Associated JOURNALS "/C$- v'-^-J ii- CITY NEWS BLAMES 1OTHER-I|LAW WIFE SAYS HER HUSBAND^ AND HIS MOTHER STOLE HER TWO CHILDREN. ^S?^^ME2 f-year-oldeboy 9^W Mrs. Victor Oederberg, 730 Seventh avenue S, declares that two of her chil dren have been stolen and kept hidden from her by her husband, Victor Oeder berg, and her mother-in-law. The mother has taken the matter into court on a writ of habeas corpus and this afternoon before Judge John Day Smith, her attorney argued in favor of iving th custody of the baby and the to the mother. The trouble between the parents has been of long duration. The case was brought to the attention of the Minne apolis Humane society some months ago and the officers of .that organization have done what they could to bring peace to the Cederberg household, but they have worked without results. The wife declares that she has not been treated as she should have been and that her husband neglects her for his mother. She alleges that some weeks ago the father took the two children, leaving her only her little girl. She says that the children were taken to their grandmother's house and have since been moved out into the country, where she has been unable to locate them or to find out in any way how. they were or what kind of care they were having. The members of the Mother's church have been working with the Humane society and others to help the little mother out of her trouble and it was thru friends that she was induced to secure a writ of habeas corpus result ing in the children being brought into court today.

COLON BACILLUS IS AGAIN ON RAMPAGE Boil your.drinking water. This is the advice of the health de partment for the ominous, polon bacillus is out to give warning of the poisonous condition of the water. At present there are sixty-eight cases of typhoid in the city hospitals. By estimating that th ehospital cases are about 25 per cent of the total cases in the city, which is the usual proportion, there must be nearly three nundred cases of typhoid in the city. The colon bug began to appear in the city water late in September and since that time the number has increased un til now there are about 100 colon col onies to the cubic centimeter.. The number of cases now on record shows that the colon is, as usual, an indication of unhealthy water, but it is believed that physicians, are not reporting cases as they should. Only .thirty cases were reported in November and there were ten deaths." On the face of the reports, the ty phoid fatalities for November would be 38 1-3 per cent, which of course is far too great.. There were many cases that neye were reported and conse quently never rame under the notice of the department. The distribution of the hospital cases at present is as fol lows: Asbury, 10 city, 16 Northwest ern, 4 St. Barnabas, 3 St. Mary's, 12? Swedish, 10, and Norwegian, 7. Tha department will start a crusade of pub licity and will urge upon physicians the "importance of reporting their ty phoid cases. The situation will be watched closely to prevent the possi bility of an epidemic. LECTURES ON EMERSON Edward Howard*priggs Interests Large Audience at First Baptist Church. "Emerson," the fifth lecture in Ed ward Howard Griggs' series on "Moral Leaders from Socrates to Tolstoi," was given last night in the First Baptist church. It was characteristic of Emerson, said Mr. Griggs, that his life was unmarked by any striking external incident, some one deeming him unkind to biographers in that he did nothing "bad and inter esting." His biography is the story of his thinking an-d it was this story, which the speaker told, showing Emer son's calm serenity, unruffled oy vio lent emotion his even poise, never un balanced by any eccentricity. His limitations were only suggested in* ques tions by the speaker. Emerson is a comfort and solace to those at peace with themselves, but has he any mes sage for the stragglersthose who suf fer? Is he not' fofe" far removed him self from turmoil and passion to sym pathize in the fullest with those storm swept by sorrow! After the lecture the subject was thrown open for discussion. :'7i&B:^ihW&: X^f^AiM#ill t&m: PBVpMWMMHHi 7 v?sf"-' 5$ Neck pieces of nearseal, sable and blue Austral ian, opossum, nutria, beaver, nearseal nnd krim- mery astrakhan, nearseal and Persian lamb.
