1t therefore seems to US that 1t would not
BE- Q bad scheme to start u accident insur-
ance company for children. There would
undoubtedly be profit In such an institu-
ton, because children are ever known to
be killed by accidents.
With her children covered BY policies in
this company, tho washer-wid0w could 60
forth in the old-gold dawn and agitate the
washboard with bare knuckles right into
the robin's-egg twilight, without any fear
for tho safety q her children ut home. For
should they meet with disaster, the insur-
ance company would pay the doctors fee
and the a~pothecary's bill.
The company could also furnish "a At
tractive list Of prices for various calami-
ties, after tho manner Of other companies,

be coming in to payf for the summers junket-
ing in case Of certain accidents-so much

'Oh, I am afraid Jimmy 10 going to lose Q
legI" his mother would murmur, in great
anguish.
at is terrible to reflect on, Madeline, - the
husband would reply; 'sbut the price Of that
leg put in the bank will start Jimmy in
business when he is Of age, or, il we
should decide otherwise, he being q minor,
there's . trip to Europe in it."
