HORSE INSURANCE.
Policies on Valuable Blooded Stock Come
Very High.

Can horses be insured?
The recent loss of a number of these
animals-valuabl ones, too-by fire
has raised this interesting question in
the minds of many
Horses are property, Of course, just as
mach as carriages or yachts, but few
people ever think of them in connection
with an insurance policy.
Nevertheless, as a local insurance man
assured 4 Globe reporter, 1t is not
only possible to insure horses, butquite
customary.
"Private owners of valuable horses
almost always take a policy on them,
he said. "An ordinary horse policy, or
one on which man pays premium OF
one per cent. for five years, only covers
horses valued a. $500 or under. Blooded
animals worth more than that figure
cost two and One-half cents premium,
and are designated by a namc in the
nolicv, lust as a vessel would be in a
marine policy.
"For this extra amount we will insure
a horse that will give him the freedom
Of the whole State, so to speak. Only
last week Newton gentleman took out
policy of this kind on his horse, and
there are many others that do it"
"How about the owners of livery
stables?'
Nearly all of them have at least
partial insurance on their horses.
"Do you consider horses good risk"
"Ordinarily we do not You see, if a
stable catches fire, the chances are al
ways in favor of the animals being des-
troyed, especially if there is lot OF
them together Strangely enough, a
horse always runs toward fire, and
about the only way to get them out of a
burning stable is to blindfold them
Yes, will be perfectly willing to insure
your trotter for you."-l'Qston Globe.
