"IVTOT long since, Mr G , a highly re- -*- * spectable storekeeper, residing in New South Wales, the father of a large family now left without any provision, as his creditors take over the whole estate, applied to assure hin life for £1000. All the papers being completed, were forwarded to the Doctor for examination. The day he saw the medical man, feeling slightly indisposed, he deferred being examined until the next day. This was a day too late, as he was seized with a fit of apoplexy, dying almost immediately. While this sustains the time-honored theory of the danger of procrastination, it. says to intending Insurers in the Australian Mutual Provident Society, "What thou doest, do quickly." • • MR B.
