NEARER HOME
One sweetly schema thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er
I am nearer home to day
Than I have been before;
Nearer my Father's house.
Where many mansions be
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea;
Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay oar burdensdown:
Nearer leaving tne cross,
Nearer gaining the crown!
But lying darkly between.
Winding down through the
night.
Is the silent unknown stream,
That leads at last to the light
Closer and closer my steps
Cjme to the dread abysm;
Closer death, t) my lips
Presses the awful rhrysm.
Oh, if my mortal feet
Have almost gained the btink;
If it be I am nearer home
Even to day than I think;
Father perfect my trust;
Let my spirit feel in death,
That her feet are firmly set
On the rock of a living faith!

MAIL ORDER INSURANCE.
The Union National Life In
surance Co. of Kansas City, Kan.,
is circularizing this state soliciting
accident insurance.
Inasmuch as the one purchasing
a policy from this company does
not have the protection of thi de
partment, or of any of the laws of
Oregon, it is appropriate that the
citizens shou'dbe informed regard ,
ing this class of insurance.
There are two primary causes
for mail order insurance: First, to
rscaye the payment of taxes; and
second, to avoid the restrictions
placed upon licenced companies
for the protection of policy old
ers Should a claim against one of
these policies be contested, the
policy holder would be forced to
go to the courts of Kansas for re
course, as the courts of Oregon
would be closed to him.
In purchasing insurance of any
kind it Js advisable to patronise
only those companies thrt are li
censed to do business in this state,
as these companies are under the
supervision of the insurance de
partment and are amenable to all
of the laws of the state of Orcfjm

the halls of Congress ring to th
loud ballyhoo for the legalized
dispensation of their favoritedope
and their wails of agony over
the alleged universal and total
failure of enforcement. The net
result of the hearings before the
