He entered Yale in the Sophomore

Forty-Nine. After graduation he taught
school for seven years, one in Ply-
mouth and six in Meriden, where he
was also principal of the Meriden Acad-
emy. During this time he studied law
About this
time he was forced to give up his
school work by the failure of his health.
For the next three years he was inter-
ested in politics and received the nomi-
nation of his party for probate judge-
ship. Since 1859 he has been promi-

A Yale Man’s Loss.
A press dispatch from San José, Cal.,
says:
“The winery belonging to E. E.
Goodrich at El Quito farm, seven miles
northwest of this city, was destroyed by
fire about 5 o’clock this morning. A
small residence adjoining was also
burned. The winery contained 15,000
gallons of wine and machinery for
making olive oil. The total loss is
$15.000.”
The El Quito ranch at Saratoga
Santa Clara Co., is one of the most cele-
brated in California. It belongs to Mr.
FE. FE. Goodrich of the Class of Sixty-
Six, who resides there. Mr. Goodrich
has devoted many years to the cultiva-
tion of the olive, and the manufacture
of pure oil. The machinery destroyed
was imported by him from Italy. For-
tunately his family residence escaped. ©

The Family’s Point of View.
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. It 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 # by losing you.
‘Tf 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
‘nsured 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.
Your life is just such a piece of property to your family: you have made
it so, 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.
