Burk-_ A PHENOMENAL RACE, $1,000,000.00 Won. The Mutual Reserve distances all competitors in the race for business. The auditor’s report of the life compa- nies transacting business in Nebrasha for 1887 shows the Mutual Reserve has at the close of its third year in the state over $1,000,000.00 more busine in force than any Old Line company; and, after deducting the amount repre- sented by four of these companies, the Mut Reserve carries more than the combined business of the other twenty companies as represented at the close of from ten to twenty years’' business by them. The report further shows that the cost !\l‘l‘f“ljlmiu the Mutual Reserve has seen less than one-half that of any of said companies. This no doubt accounts for the howl and fight by the agents of the upr»imm companies as made upon the Mutual Reserve. The business men who make up the policy holders of this popular company are not mis- led or influenced by unauthenticated statements and anonymous literature peddled usually by the agents of little companies shut out of the race and dis- tanced not only by the Mutual Reserve but by the larger companies represent- ing the old line system of life insurance. The Mutual Reserve will continue its remarkable record. It defies competi- tion and respectfully invites the inspec- tion of the insuring public to its safe, unusually liberal and economical policy, and a comparison 1n every way with the rates and features presented by any life insurance company of the day and age.

A Moonlight Night is Hardest on the Nerves of Engineers, Talk with an engineer in the Mem- phis Appeal: “A headlight ain't of so much use as people think it is. Why, on o moonlight night I would just as n not have one at all.” “Why' “Well, it's a curious thing, and I don’t know the philosopby of it, but the mooniight being the greater light de stroys the effect of the headlight almost entirely, and if it wasn't for its being reflected from some station platform oq car'on a side track you wouldn’t know it was lighted at all.” Why, many a_tims I have gone out on the running board there on the side of the engine around to the front to see if my headlight was still burning,” “I suppose then that running on a moounlight night is easicr on you than dark nights, because you have a better light and can sce further?” said the re- porter innocently, “Well, it might be if T was running on a prairie, but in this part of the country we are all the time running through woods or strips of woods whe the shadows of trees are thrown across the track, and those shadows are so strong and black that they can't be dis- sipated by the brightest kind of head- light. You can't tell the difference be- tween a shadow and an object to save your life hardly: either struck it or passed it before you could tell which it ! W ’s a new one on me,” said “1 always felt much safer when 1 was traveling on a moon- light nigh “Any engineer will tell you that that is true,” was the reply. *What's that?” asked another e gineer, who had just brought in a heavy freight train ‘and was on his way homé. Engineer No. 1 explained. “That’s s0,” assented the newcomer. A moonlight night is the hardest of all nights on an engineer’s nerves an the most dangerous to run on. I would rather run on any other kind of anight. A man can be deceived so easily. Idon’t suppose there is an engin yet that has not been scared by taking the moon for an engincur‘a headlight when it was either rising or setting and low on the horizon, about the hight an engineer’s headlight would be, and that's a thing that bappens to the oldest engineers, too. They come arcund a curve sud- denly, and there isanother engine right close onto them-—at least, that’s what they think—and it startles them, be- cause they ain't looking out for 1t. When a horse is on the track in front of you and running away,from you he looks exactly like a man—you can’t tell that he isn't until ho turns his side to you. “Speaking of being deceived,” con- tinued engineer No. 2, “I had about as singular an oxperience once while I was crawling around Lookout mountain on one of the divisions of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis, pulling a pas- senger train into Chattanooga, as any one ever had in that line, but that wasn’t a moonlight, but a dark, clear night like this. It's a pretty crawly place there; the road at one place is cut out of the solid rock of the mountain’s ide for gome distance, and they kopt— since they had thatbad accident there-a watchman to sec that no rocks or tress fell down from above., We had alwavs to slow up at that point, and I had_put on air brakes and was sliding along easily, when all of a sudden 1 saw a lamp swung rapidly across the track ahead---fiagging me down, you under- stand, There was a ravine back of us, which we had just passed, and at the point we then were it was a tumble of several huedred feet only before we would fall into the river, if we did fall. It didn’t take me long to stop, you ean bet. Then the flagman ran_ closer up still, flagging me down until he got within a few feet of the engine, when he jumped to one side and disappeared down the side of the mountain.” “What did he do that for?” asked the reporter, half expecting a ‘'sell” of some sort. “Well, it wasn't a flagman at all; it wasn't anything but a large fox, and it was the reflection of the headlight in the animal’s eyes. You know howa cat’s eyes shine when you bring a can- dle up to ‘em 1n the dark, and as this fox came up to the engine he dodged from side to side like an animal will do, and it looked to me just like alamp swung across the track, and then, too, I kinder expected to be flagged there at any time, you know.” e The Story of a Bustle. “Talking about bustles,” said the father of a family, suddenly arousing himself from deep meditation and slap- ping the Star man on the knee. They had been speaking for the past twenty minutes, and the last thing mentioned before that was something about a grinding monopoly. Here’s an advertisement I had pre- ared for the Star: p‘VANTEn—.A servant without a bustle or other artificial enlargement of ~the an- atomy; noobjection to carrying cold victuals home in a basket; no bustle need apply. My wife wanted to know if I was dropping buck into barbarism, and de- clared that the tyranny of man would stop at nothing. - Why would I attempt to abridge the civil rights of servant girls by depriving them of their consti- tutional privilege to wear bustles? Her woman sense of _ justice was shocked, and she declared that T would not dare suggest such a thing if women had votes; and when I suggerted the election frauds that might be practiced by women with bustles full of ballots, she began to ery, and said my cruelty was inspired by envy, because she had just that day bought a new extra size 99-cent bustlo, that made her dress stand out just lovely. I might have if T wanted, and she would continue wearing the old one that was twisted all on one sidogand made her look like achicken going across the wind. She enlarged upon the subject by declaring that Isought to deprive poov servants of their principal source 0} comfort—the rudder that kept them upon their course, T surely would not deprive a poor girl of her hustle. “‘And I listened to all this and more. Then I led her gently into the kitchen and _unhooked the bustle Honesty had left hanging behind the door. Honesty ervant girl that was. e was something prophetic in the choice on her christening AT quictly unhooked Honesty's bustle from the door and emptied from it a half pound of ten. six of the bubies' most useful articles of clothing, one towel, two pounds of su ver spoons, a bottle ef pic steak, a box of tinted cosmetic and a pair of stockings. My wife after she had secured the rouge 1d hid it from my sight in the Dblack folds of her own dress. Now she weeps when I come home to dinner, and d: clares that i who is willing to di for the consideration of $15 per month, unless Mr. Goodmaker, the missionary, can get us one, way off there where they eat folks and don’t wear any clothes at all. Then she covers her face with her hands and says it would never do for a servant to answer the door bell dressed that way. Meanwhile, by a laborious mathematical process, 1 huve been caleulating the capacity of Honesty’s bustle, and find it to hold just three half cks and a pint, which is ample storage room, if used only for transportation and not permanent stor- age, for half my regular family supply of grocerics and provisions, not to men- tion dry goods and notions.” IMPORTANT TO LADIES.
