THE JONES DRUG COMPANY' Oregon City. LIFE INSURANCE VS. LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES By W. J. Cuddy, Editor Weekly Oregonian. A man who has engaged in all sidus of newspaper work lor more than a third of a century naturally has ac quired a knowledge, varying in de gree from superficial to thorough, ot business and professional life, and I have been wondering how it is that I was so unfamiliar with a business which has been given so much publi city, and in which bo much money has been undo in a legitimate way one to whioh nearly everybody oontri Dutes soaie money every year. I know a mau who has been carry ing a 110,000 twenty year endowment iusurnnce policy upon his life for the pus, three years, paying one of the Eastern companies $500 yearly for it, so I had a talk with him. "Iu twen ty years," he said, "I will have paid this company $10, COO, ever dollar of which will go out of circulation iu this vicinity, with no possible chance of any of it going into my pocket dur iug too twenty years. If I live to the end of the twenty years, the company will return to me $10,000, the interest on the money paying for the cost of the insmanoe. "I consider this a good busiuess proposition. It is one that is being embraced every day by the best busi ness men of Oregon and else where. I do not find fault with the proposition. uor do I intend to cancel my policy nor take paid np insurance. 1 am, however, interested iu the profits made out ot the insurance business by the stockholders who have invested their money in the capital stock of the companies. "Hie omoial reports or the rnsur ance department of one state shows that til lb same compauy, in which I carry my twenty year endowment pol icy, has paid to its stocklioiuets every year since 1839 the enormous sum of 220 per ceut animal oash dividends. Only $19,000 of its $22,000,000 of cap ital stock has been paid in cash, mak ing only 910 shares of its 20,000 shares of capital stock actually paid for in oash. .bach holder of original capital stock has received 21 shares of stock as stock dividends." This statement led to investigation. According to the latest published reports of the market quotations ot life insuance company stooks. as fur Dished by E. S. Bailey & Company, 66 Broadway, New York, that com nanv's stock is Quoted at $450 uer share bid $500 per share asked. Since each holder of original capital stock has received 21 shares of stock as stock dividends, he now has 22 shares nf stock for each original share of stook held, making tl shares as his present holdings of the par value of $101) each. E ich share of stock has a murket value of $450, therefore the value of his original share of stock has grown to be worth the sum of ft),. 900. '1 am not dissa'isfled with the com pany on account of the enormous stock dividends it has paid to its stockholders," my friend remarked. "On the contrary I believe the stook- Iders of a successful lire insurance company should be paid large divi dends. I would not oare to carry a polioy in a company that did not earn large dividends, it is t' e volume or business and not the large percentage of the income that earns the large dividends. For example one per cent of the income ot one life insurance company's income amounts to four hundred per cent, of its capital stock." An investor of $10,000 iu the origi nal capital stock of the company, in whioli this man carries a $10,000 en y-'rf-1-" ' .v7"-" "" '"'irim i " v - i ii iiimiii iri . ' ACMEQUMITY dowment policy, would have roeeived 100 shares of its oapital stock of the par value of $100 each, and today he would be holding 2200 shares, having received 2100 shares of stook as (took dividends. Calculated at the market price bid would be worth the sum of $990,000, all for an investment of $10. 000 since 1875. These values do not inolnde the enormous annual cash dividends paid to stockholders siuoe the organization of the company. The life-insurance business requires men of exceptional ability in their lines, but if we must trust someone to manage the life insurance companies for us, we find we have just as hones! and capable men in the West as in the East, and that our interest rates are higher as well as our securities are saftr on aooount of the rapid increase in real estate values. "In view of the rapid development recently iu the busiuess of Portland, he concluded, "with its sky-scrapers going up everywhere in the commer cial district of the city, aud believ ing that the time is ripe lor the estab lishing of a big life insuranoe com pany in the Northwest, with Portland as the loigoal center, I have conclud ed to subscribe for a block of the cap ital slock of a new life insurance com pauy of Portland believing it to be the very best investment I can make. " Should the new company do one half as well as some of the life insur ance companies of the Eastern states have dune, the investment will be entirely satisfactory." One must argee with him. The Union Pacifio Life Insurance Company of Portland, Oregon, has an authorized capital stock of $100,000, all of which is about subscribed. It will increase its capital to $200,000 at once so as to be able to qualify to do business in all the states. An excellent opportunity is given to the people of Oregon to not only subscribe for the capital stock, but the plan of the Union Pacifio Life In surance Company in distributing its capital stook in a way that not only offers a remarkabla opportunity for investment, but at the same time puts into eftect a successful method of se curing the co-operation of its stock holders in building up the company, affords an opportunity whioh will be quickly seen and acoepted.

A recruiting sergeant one day met an Ignorant youth idling, with bis bands in his pockets and standing before a bouse on the front of which was a notice informing the public that the building was to be sold. The notice ran thus: "To Be Sold by Private Treaty." The sergeant approached the youth I and asked him If lie had ever thought of Joining the army. "Not me," was the reply. "You'd have nothing in the army worth talk ing about." . "Is that so?" said the other. "Well, how Is it then Private Treaty has a house for sale and him only a private yet?" The youth looked thoughtful and puzzled, and presently, over a pint of ale, the possibility of owulug a bouse by joining the army grew Into a cer tainty and the shilling changed bands.

The grain began to need a little moiBture, but stook were glad to stay uuder shelter while the storm lasted. On Tuesday night Mr. Weisenbers's hen house caught fire at a late hour, perhaps at 10 or 11 o'clock. Some neihgnors happened to see the lignt and telephones began to send warn ings, so a number of meu collected as soon as possible, but too late to save anything exoept a few hens and oue hen and ohickens. He had one incu bator in the house and another loaned out. The loss amounted to three hun dred little ohiokens, ten or eleven set ting hens with their eggs, two or three brooders and a few other things. Most of the laying hens were saved and the fire was kept from .the house One little child is sick with measles and others have the same disease in different families, so the board or dered the sohool closed for two weeks and there was no school Monday, bat they reconsidered the question and decided it might as well continue. The entertainment Saturday even ing passed off very nicely. The pro gram was short, but each number was well rendered. After the program Judge Samson sold the baskets to the highest bidders, aud eaoh happy pos sessor of a basket, after hunting his partner, bought two dishes of ice oream and proceeded to enjoy him self, and at a late hour all went to their homes well satisfied.

Of all the minute creatures that in habit this globe unseen by the naked eye there is none so astonishing, ac cording to the Scientific American, as the little living things that live In stagnant water. Tbey are called Bllp per animalculae, or, as the scientist has it, the Paramecium. These tiny, invisible things develop so rapidly that if they were able to live through 350 generations they would crowd every other living thing off the face of the earth and form a mass larger than the planet itself. Should they go on re producing until the nine hundredth generation these little creatures would form a mass large enough to crowd the moon and stars and even the sun entirely out of spoce. Luckily for us this is not possible, according to na ture's decree. The Paramecium dies after It has attained the one hundrd and seventieth generation, and so the awful possibilities are checked of its multiplying to All the universe. The Medicine Bottle. In order to avert the most serious thing of having a child take the wrong medicine, mothers should adhere to the following rules: Never give medicine in the dark. Always read the label on the bottle. Never go by tho color of the medi cine. When the bottle is refilled see that the label reads clear. Keep poisons locked up. Keep nil bottles locked tip in a draw er or medicine chest. Mistakes of giving children carbolic acid and such like poisons in the night time make it Imperative that mothers study and adhere to these rules, for sometimes micb Inadvertent mistakes bring nbmit terrible cowIukIods.
