-LIFE: Giano, the famons Freach painter, when very young, was the bearer of a letter of introduction to Lanjuinais, then of the council of Napoleon, The young painter was shabbily attired, and his reception was extremely cold, but Lanjuinais discovered in him such striking proofs of talent and good sense that, on Girard’s rising to take | leave, he rose, too, and accompanied his visitor to the antechamber. The change was so striking that Girard could not avo expression of surprise, “My young friend,” said Lanjuinais, anticipating the inquiry, “we ve an unknown person according to hisdress—we take ve of him according to his merit * onaut, GAIL BORDEN EAGLE BRAND CONDENSED MILK.

To begin with, he was too serious looking, too solemn, hope- lessly thin, and forever talking “shop.” He had a few good friends, to be sure, but even they did little but use him to their own gain, and his mere acquaint- ances never recognized him out of business hours, Still, he managed to get on first-rate, and might never have known how much of life he was missing if he had not met Her, That settled it. It was before they went in to dinner that he first saw her, and like all the rest of the world, he fell in love at first sight. He went over to his host to see about it. “Who is that very attractive young woma ask The one standiog beneath that picture of | ‘Th pod Samaritan,’” The host laughed as he said, “Oh, she's charming. We call her ‘Little Miss Affection.” Come over and meet her.” * hey; ie | The amusement that the host expected to get out of this incongruous couple never came to him, For she seemed quite taken with this odd little man of books, and when he admitted that his friends called him “Higher Mathematics,” she laughed a clear, jolly little laugh that quite ended the business. For they were din less than three weeks, married within as many months, and the host never quite understood it, or ceased to point out to his better eng: | four-fifths the really wonderful tact and intuition he had display ittle Miss Affection” came to live with “Old a,” as the club oracle put it, and when the s invited to the christening that e some | months later, the town patted itself on the back to tind itself possessed of so delightfully fasci- nating a child. twelve As the months grew into years this newcomer devel- oped all the lovable, winni t-hearted traits of its mother, till ali the world loved it, and came to} turn to it for help and advice; while signs of unselfishness and munificen signs, not as inviting it may be, but yet of sterling worth—signs of business ca sound judgmes nd a av sound and clive. Through this strange combination of the parental gifts the utmost charity became possible, bec backed by so sound a business sense and method. There scemed no end to the good that the child might do—and, indeed, the end seems to-day further off than ever, The r suspicio conservatism ase ader who has strayed thus far is growing and beginning to ask himself where ‘the iscoming in, Right here, The name of this child is Life Insurance, and truly does it show the attributes of the highest affection and the souud- est methods, Someone has said: “At its base it is moral; at its apex scientific,” and in this has summed up the whole matter, In these days life insurance commands the respect and admiration of the world, No arg nt is needed to support it. As Secretary Gage has said: ‘ All the sane man asks is, which is the best company?” and this question, too, has been settled, for a generation of men have decided that the claim put forward by The Mutual Life of New York is legitimate: “The best company is the company that does the most good.” Here is a company that does all it promises —and more; a company that has passed through fifty. five years of business activity with its record unblem- ished, and {ts reputation for justice and liberality world-wide.
