A HIGH-PRICED LIAR, The following passage from The Opti- mistic Life has a moral of more point for American youth than have most of the so-called Sunday-school stories, many of which have a tendency to react and drive intelligent juveniles to drink and assorted criminality : “If I hire you,” said a Detroit grocer toa boy, who had applied for work, “I Suppose you will do as I tell you ?” “ Yes, sir.” “If T told you to say that the sugar was wigh-grade when it was low, what would you say ?” The boy did not hesitate a moment. +I'd say it,” he responded promptly. “If T told you to say that tne coffee was pure, when you knew that it had beans in it, what would you say ?” «I'd say it.” “If I told you to say that the butter was fresh, when you knew that it’ had been in the store for a month, what would you say 2” “Td say it.” The merchant was nonplused. ‘* How much will you work for?" he inquired very seriously. “One hundred dollars a week,” an- swered the boy in a business-like tone. The grocer came near falling from his stool. * One hundred dollars a week ?” he repeated in astonishment. “ With a percentage after the first two weeks,” said the boy coolly. * You see,” he went on, “first-class liars come high ; and, if you need them in your business, you've got to pay them the price. Other- wise I'll work for three dollars a week.” So the boy caught the grocer at his own game, and got the job at three dollars a week. And he never sold a pound of sugar, a pound of coffee, a pound of butter, that was not all right; and both the grocer and boy prospered in their integrity. judd Mra.

It is a great success. “‘In The Prudential’s office and field Administration,"’ President Dryden con- tinued, ‘‘ many important improvements have been introduced, the effect of which will be to further reduce the expense- rate and bring about economies in man- agement in other directions. This is in strict conformity with the Company's established plan for many years, each succeeding year indicating progress and success, as measured by the most rigid ‘standard of sound economy. “During 1906 The Prudential’s gen- eral expense-rate, exclusive of taxes, was the lowest in the Company's history, the reduction being nearly three per cent. of the premium income. “The Prudential has the well-earned | reputation of thorough familiarity with | every detail of office and field administra | tion, and its complex business, financial, actuarial, medical, and other experience, now extends over more than three dec- ades. Every precaution is employed to safeguard the interests of policy-holders against the admission of inferior risks, and the question of quality alone deter mines the business policy of the Com- ny. “The Prudential has now over 7,000,- 000 policies in force, and its new, low- cost, non-participating policy is one of the best-selling policies The Prudential has ever issued. Prudential agents ail over the country are handling the new policy with great success and reportinz big business. ‘In a table just published The Pru- dential compares its new low rates with the average rates of one hundred and two life-insurance companies of world. The comparsion is exceedin: instructive, and graphically emphasizes the assertion that the new rates of The Prudential are the lowest, consistent with liberality and safety, offered to the pu lic by any company of corresponding importance, and responsibility in eitivr the United States or Europe. “A specimen of the new policy «i'l be sent, free of cost, to any person sen ing age and occupation to The Prude tial, Newark, N. J., and we believe that upon comparison it will be found there is no policy in the world equal to the new policy of The Prudential.’’ @® NIAGARA FALLS 9 Hours from New York—NEW YORK CENTRAL LINES comicbooks.com
