He jumped off and” made or the “chuck.” The “chuck” 'cor- nered, made at Jesse. The two came together. Jesse, who knows how to punt a foot ball, skillfully kicked him under the chin knocking him out.

HE comparative merits of the so-called “purely mutual” system of manage- ment for life insurance companies and of stock management are clearly shown by the following comparisons. We have selected the largest proxy-mutual company in the New England States (the Connec ticut Mutual, and compare it, with the jETN A LIFE, the largest com- pany with stock management. , , The Connecticut Mutual, by its annual statement filed with the Insurance Commissioner of this State, January 1, 1897, shows that it has $525,093.79 more than its entire surplus, invested in real estate. (It increased its holdings of real estate in 1896, $1,108,702.75). Its taxes repairs and , penses on real estate- in 1896 amounted to $298,675.90, or $42.91I.31 more than Its entire incomefrom that source, hence it appears from the sworn statement of that company that no in- come was realized from its surplus, nor from, the $525,093.79 (the excess of real estate over surplus), but, on the contrary it was behind from that source, as shown above. $42,911.31. . Of the ETNA LIFE’S surplus ($6,711,502.25), it had on the first of January last, as shown by its statement filed with the Commissioner, real estate amount- ing to $486,348.25, leaving of its surplus to be otherwise invested $6,225,154.00. Its net income from real estate amounted to $8,150.82. Itssurplus not- invested in real estate earned in 1896 5 1-10 per cent, or $317,482.85, to which add its in- come from real estate as above, makes $325,633.67 earned upon its surplus alone. The Connecticut Mutual, on the other hand, instead of earning anything on this part of its assets, shows a loss, as above stated, of $42.9ll.3l. . These unfavorable investments affect the dividends of that company. (Had the Connecticut Mutual obtained as favorable results, in the above- particular, perience, $469,138,25.): -. . $10.000—TEN-PAYMENT LIFE PLAN-AGE 57.
