President. Macaulay in Annual Address
itontreal, Feb. 14,—'Phe phenbnrenai •growth and success of the Sup Lite,
Assurance' Company of ,Canada lends widespread interest each year .to the
annual address of the President, Mit T. B. Macaulay,'` -
The'annuaf meeting, which has just been.,he>,d disclosedcontinuation of
this expansion, but, it was more noteworthy still for an announcement, almost
startling in character, by Mr. Macaulay regarding the. financial ;strength of
the' Company,. He stated that -so carefully hat the directors anticipated .every
possible adverse contingency ill the muney-.market that :even a panic which
would reduce the value of the assets by one hundred millions of'doliars would
stili leave untouched and unimpaired the .shown surplus and resergea of the
Company.
Mr; Macaulay, dwelt aa well in 'a most interesting and illuminating' man -
nor upon the relative merits of tlie,varied securities.in'`.whiob'insurance com-
panies invest their ,)'uuds, and of how traditional viewson investment have
altered. owing to the changed conditions of modern business. He said in Bart..

$112,336,000; and in total in force,

would be a large quid powerful institu-

rejoiced' at passing the mile -stone of

and yet already we are nearing $2,000,.'
000,000,, while at this moment our as-
sets exceed 4500,000,000.
"But there is another feature even
more striking and important. Advance
figures indicate that the -'.acreage over
the previous year in the new business
written by the .combined life com-
panies of the continent was approxi-
mately 8 per cent., and the increase

said reluctantly, "suppose Mark con-
fessed that he'd' murdered his bro-
ther?".-,
"That's better, Bill. Don't:be afraid

this. Mark confesses to Cayley that
he shot Robert on purpose, and Cayley
decides, even at the risk of commit -
Eng perjury, and getting into trouble
himself, to help Mark to escape. Is
that right?"
,Bili nodded.
"Well then, I want to ask' yell .two
questions. First, is it possible, as I
said before dinner, ,that any 'man
would commit such an idiotic umr•der
—a murder that puts the rope so very
tightly round his neck? Secondly, if

"How? How do ghosts appear? I

Bill nodded. Antony gave him an
encouraging pat on (the back, and
stepped firmly across to the box of
bowls, whistling loudly to himself. He
took the bowls out, dropped one with
a loud bang on the floor, said, "Th,

• "I say, Bill, I don't think I want

did, and now I don't want to."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"There's a seat ori the lawn. Let's

As they went across the lawn, An-

Where the morning Is a ,joy, -
Where the ,pulse of old age thrills
Like the young heart of a boy.
To the gallop of the gust,
Over white leagues, trenched and

To the sharp and silver thrust
Of the arrows of the frost;

To the sparkling streams that pour
From the new uprisen sun,
On the crisp and crystal floor, •
Of a sheer white beauty spun.
Hither come and drink the cup
Of the morning on the hills,
Isere shall you b0 lifted Up,
Past pursuit of all your ills.

But the august and austere

You can't dye a dress—
no matter how careful you may be—without
real color. That's the idea behind Diamond Dyes,
<• They are made to give you real service. They contaitn
from three to five times more aniline than other dyes on,
the market.
Next time you want to dye, try Diamond Dyes. See how easy,
it is to use them. Then compare results. Note the absence of that'
re -dyed look; of streaking, or spotting. See how soft, bright, new,
looking the colors are. Then observe how they keep their brilliance
through wear and washing. If you don't agree Diamond Dyes are
better dyes, your dealer will refund your money.
The white package of Diamond Dyes is the original "all-purpose"
dye for any and every kind of material. It will dye or tint silk, wool,
cotton, linen, rayon orany mixture of materials. The blue package,
is a special dye, for silly or 'wool only. With it you can dye your;
valuable article's of silk or wool with results equal to the finest prod
fessional work. When you buy—remember this. The blue Peck.
age dyes silk or wool only. The tekite package will dye every kinct
of goods, including silk and woof.
