A Happy Surprise. 
There was no more happily sur- 
prised woman in Beverly Farms 
Thursday than was Mrs. Brown, 
widow of the late Thomas Brown, for 
she learned through Mr. Fleming, 
agent of the New York Life Ins. Co., 
$1000 was due her, insurance on her 
late husband’s life. Thirteen years ago 
Mr. Brown took out a 20-year endow- 
ment policy with the company, but he 
had paid nothing on it for ten years 
and Mrs. Brown was of the opinion 
the policy was not in force. There 
was a continued, or extended, insur- 
ance clause in the policy, however, 
which would keep the policy in force 
till Jan...1907." )In° due -time pir: 
Brown will receive the $1000 due her.
