Pneumonia, which set in only four or The Family’s Point of View. oe Gwe GS 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 ‘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 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. JACOB Fs GREENE, President. JOHN M. TAYLOR, Vice-President. EDWARD M. BUNCE, Secretary.

He came East to enter the - Sheffield Scientific School, from which he graduated with the Class of Seventy- Seven. For a number of years after graduation he was one of the civil engi- neers of the Union Pacific Railroad. He was appointed Superintendent of Bridges in Philadelphia, which office he held until he took a position with the Berlin Iron Company. Nine years ago he was elected Vice-President of this company and held this position up to the time of his death. JOHN HUBBARD CURTIS, 787. Mr. Curtis, whose death occurred very suddenly at Lexington, Mass., on Thursday, Jan. 13, was one of the ablest and most scholarly men in the Class of Eighty-Seven. He was born at Hartford, June 9, 1865, and pre- pared for College at the Hillhouse High School, New Haven, graduating second in his class. He entered Col- lege in 1883, and was graduated fourth in scholarship rank, his brother being the valedictorian. He then took a graduate course in English literature, his favorite study. Shortly after, while teaching at Cleveland; his health broke down, and he had suffered intensely from nervous prostration ever since. A tour around the world failed to restore his health. Mr. Curtis was a man of the highest mental attainments and the most spot- less character. His devotion to duty was his ruling passion, and he has left in the hearts of his friends the memory of a man of keen intelligence, noble unselfishness, constant affections, and devoutly Christian character.
