RE: Registration of Securities
Horace Mann Short-Term Investment Fund, Inc.
In my capacity as General Counsel of Horace Mann Educators Corporation, I am
familiar with the securities offered by the Horace Mann Short-Term Investment
Fund, including the preparation and review of registration statements and post-
effective amendments pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.
After reviewing the relevant documents and making suitable inquiry of Fund
personnel, I am of the opinion that the securities issued in fiscal year 1995 by
the Fund were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Sincerely,
Ann Caparros<PAGE>
