The Family’s Point of View.
eel ii
F you are thirty-five years old and are in good health, and are earning $100
a month, your life, on which this earning depends, is worth $22,700 in
cash to-day to your family. If you die they lose the $100 a month, the
equivalent of which is the $22,700. The cash value of your life to them
is therefore $22,700. They lose that if you die.
You have made your family dependent on you: dependent on that $100 a
‘month. You have put them at the risk of losing it by losing you.
If you had a piece of property which was bringing you in $100 a month
and it stood a chance of being destroyed and so cutting off your income,
' you would not rest until you had taken enough of that $100 a month and
insured yourself against the loss of it. You would consider that you had not
"done your duty by yourself until you had so protected yourself effectually.
JACOB L. GREENE, President.
JOHN M. TAYLOR, Vice-President.
Your life is just such a piece of property to your family: you have made
‘itso. They need just that same effectual protection against its loss which
may come any day. And they cannot protect themselves. They rely on
you for that as much as they do for the $100 a month itself. They need
protection against that loss even more than you need protection against the
loss of your property. But they cannot have it unless you give it to them.
You have exposed them to the loss: you have made them dependent on
you: you alone can protect them in their dependence.
THE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Makes its plans from the family’s point of view: to give them the most —
absolute protection, at the least cost to you and with perfect equity to both.
It will be glad to serve you and your family in this great matter.

Obituary.
MANNING C. WELLS, 757.
. Manning C. Wells, 757, died on
Tuesday, Oct. 19, of consumption, at
the home of his brother-in-law, E. M.
Morse, in Canandaigua, N. Y., after
an illness of over three years. He was
compelled to relinquish his law prac-
tice in New York City in 1893, and
since then he had made a stubborn but
losing fight against the disease. He
spent one Winter in Asheville, N. C.,
and another in New Mexico, but with-
out any real improvement. A decided
change for the worse was evident last
Summer and he failed gradually until
the end came.
Mr. Wells was born in 1837, at
Buffalo, and was the son of Aldrich
Wells, the first white child born on the
site of that city. He passed his early
life in Buffalo and Niagara County, and
spent one year at Amherst, but finished
his course at Yale, graduating with the
Class of Fifty-Seven. He was a mem-
ber of Junior and Senior Societies. No
man in the class, had more friends than
he, and that his popularity was of the
kind that lasts, is evidenced by his
retaining those early friendships to the
end of his life. Few men have been
more devoted to Yale after graduation.
He was present at many Commence-
ments and missed only one of his
Class reunions. He served for many
years as the sponsor for the New York
Alumni Association banquet menus and
a few years ago was elected the Asso-
ciation’s Vice-President. He was also
a member of the University and Cen-
tury Clubs.
After graduation Mr. Wells went to
Mt. Sterling, Ky., where he practiced
law until the Rebellion broke out when
he returned North and entered into
partnership with the Hon. E. M. Morse
at Canandaigua. . The relation con-
tinued 13 years, and in 1863 he married
Mr. Morse’s sister, Miss Emma Mason
Morse, who survives him, with a
brother, Charles F. Wells, of New
York City. In 1874 he moved to New
York, where he became a partner of
John E. Devlin, a Democratic lawyer,
and the connection continued until Mr.
Devlin’s death, five years ago, when
the firm became Miller and Wells.
Mr. Wells was a Democrat, but not
prominent in politics. ;
Among those who have known Mr.
Wells intimately it has often been re-
marked that no man of their acquaint-
