A CENTENARIAN POLICY HOLDER. The Mutual Life Insurance Company exhibits with Pride a centenarian policy holder, Charles H. Booth. Booth at the age of thirty-nine took out a policy for $2,000, on which he paid an annual premium of $62, In net cash premiums he has paid the company §2,239 and St his death his heirs will receive $5,830. It has been a g00d investment for him; some of the early policies had @ steel engraving on their face representitig a grateful and weeping widef in the act of receiving from the in- surance agent the reward of her husband's long yearly ®olicitude for her welfare. In Booth's case the sent!- mental and the practical advantage of a policy are well illustrated. Of course, if he could have known at the age of thir- ty-nine that he was still to survive sixty years he could _. have invested his premiums to far better advaptage. As & matter of fact, four years’ premiumesput {na savings bank then at 4 per cent. and left there at compound in- terest would now amount to more than the entire sum pwing by the company to Booth.

LETTERS, LETTERS. Dear Uncle Peanutbrittle: I am a member of the Nose and Grindstone Clu», I have ordered a wite-proof pocket. But what's the uve of porscesing one when I have no money to put into It? I get $0 per week and! am allowed car fare and 3% cents a day for lunch. BSsounl 1 ppend this and ask for more I am ac- cused of playing the races or buy ng bouquets for chorus girls. Now, what I want to know {s: First-How can I make my wife allow me 0 cents @ day pudlign a diig-cm of how to find my wife's pocket and get some of my money back? I walk in my sleep. UNFORTUNATE MARRIED MAN. Answer,—Call at the Nose and Grind- stone Club for a burly Pinkerton woman to accompany you home when you make the demand. If the Pinkerton woman succeeds In overawing your wife demand 7% cents a day; aye, be bold and If your wife refuses 4 wins over the Pink- erton woman from the path of duty by showing her new dresa patterns or @ new way to warm over hash, offer to arbitrate. It will do you no good, but it will be the only dignified way out, ing @ diagram showing pocket, we do upernatural powers. Dear Uncle Peanutbrittle: Tired out by a Jong day in the de- partment stores trying to match some new shades of breakfast food for my wife, I returned home to find my wife gone to the club and that I was locked out. She returned at « late hour ac- companied by three women club mem- bers and scolded me for being ow 20 late. And this {s the woman who prom- {sed to cherish and protect me! VICTIM. Answer.—You are not so badly off. Some club women are no clubby they club thejr husbands. Be patient and walt forthe Married Men's Emanci- pation Day, A VIOLENT PERSON. Dear Unole Peanutdrittle: You old villian! I had proposed to an amiable young man and he had asked me to “eee mamma.” To-day I recelved a tear-marked letter from him saying he has read so much of the tyranny of the modern woman that he dared not trust his future in my hands, You should be horsewhipped, for It 1s all your doing. He was 60 tractable and a good house- keeper, and I was tired of the life of a bachelor girl and wanted to marry and settle down! AN INDIGNANT FEMALE. Answer.—A lucky escape for a timid mn was excluded from its benefits because past the ge of forty-five that a rival company yet in existence erenting a “more equitable plan of assurance” came into being. ~ Modern life insurance contrasts with that of primitive beginnings in the greater freedom granted the policy holder. He is allowed to travel almost everywhere now, except perhaps in quest of the Pole, while in early times he was not permitted to go upon the high seas without the company’s sanction. The present “indisputable” policy allows him to commit suicide if he wishes within 2 year of the payment of his first premium. And yester- ay from South Africa came news of a Supreme Court Wecision pronouncing the policy of a soldier not in- Validated because he had taken up arms in rebellion against his king. Legislation and the more enlightened management of gompanies have combined to effect very Mberal reforms {m the policy holder’s favor.

To the Eattor of The Evening World: In reference to Sam Silver's letter, I would say that if I were that young gentleman I would drink nelther porter nor ale, but would rely upon some sub- stantial food for getting stouter. Per- haps he does not eat the proper food, For breakfast I would recommend some kind of cereal; or if he profers some- thing warm, something like oatmeal would be very healthful with a cup of milk, chocolate or cocoa, Coffee and tea are ruinous to the system.

WILLIAM JOHNSTON, 29O9OO9O9999-HOO Women Pirates. ' Among the famous pirates that menaced the seas in the eighteenth century were two women who were more than @ match for thelr male companions in cruelty and daring. Im the life of each there was a thread of romance, but their careers, though brilliant, were short. Mary Read was born in England. She assumed masculine apparel and wailed for the West Indies. The ship was cap- tured by English pirates, and she being the only Englis:a person on board, they kept her among them, plundered the vessel and let it go. Mary Read often declared that the life of @ pirate was always abhorrent to her and that she went into it under compulsion, but in time of action no robber of the sea was more resolute, none more ready to board or undertake any- thing that was hazardous. When the pirate ship was attacked and taken, the fighting being at close quarters, Mary Read and two comrades were the only ones who stayed on deck. She called to those below to come up and fight like men, and, finding they did not stiff, she fired her arms down the hold among them, killing one und wounding others, q ‘The trial of the captured pirates was held on the fsland of! Jamaica in November of 1720. Many had compassion for the woman, yet the court coulda not avok finding her guilty. She was convicted and sentenced, ~~ but her execution was respited. She was seized with a vio~ ent fever and died in prison. Anne Bonny was‘another female pirate. She was born t Ireland. She emigrated to Carolina, At Providence Island ‘Anne became acquainted with Rackam, the pirate. She con ‘Mrs. Waitaminnit--the Woman Who Is Always Late. <r Does Her Kind Husband Arrange to Take Her to the Theatre, She Makes Him Lose the Best Part of the Show.?

What became of her finally {s not known, but It is certain that she was not executed as a pirate, fn +0 4007 ree EEE, S299-9O09O0HS 096000 9D & Origin of Nautical Terms, ‘The word “admiral” comes from “mir el bagh,” which ts Arabic for lord of the sea. “Captain” comes straight from the Latin “caput,” a head; but “mate” {s al identical with the Icelandic ‘mat which means a companion or equal. ‘Coxswain wus originally the man who of captain's boat, then known a oat" {s a corruption of the word “‘coracle,’ and, as most ped- ple know, the coracle is a small round boat used for fishing on some of the Welsh rivers, such as the Xye and Usk. So coxswain comes to us from the Wolsh. “Commodore” 1s simply the Italian “commandatore,” of commander, and “naval cadet” was originally the French “capdet,” which, going a step further back, has the same origin as the word captain. The reason of this apparent an- omaly is that originally naval cadets were younger sons of noble families who served as privates previous to obtaining thelr commissions, There never was such a person as “Davy Jones," though we frequently hear of his locker. One ought to talk of ‘Duffy Jonah's" looker, "Duffy" is the West Indian negro term for spirit or ghost, while “Jonah” refers to the prophet of that name. ; “Dog watch” is another curious case of a term gradually corrupted out of its original form. Originally it was “Dodge | wat," #0 described because it lasts only two instead of the usual four hours, and thus makes it possible that the same men shall not be on duty every day during the same hours. Gailors call salt meat “junk.” It is not a complimentary term, for junk is nautical for a rope's end. Some 3,000 years ago ropes were made out of tulrushes, for which the Latin word is “Juncus.” 006 SOME HAIR PING A comp, A RAT. COLOGNE.
