HARRrsBURG.-Insurance Commissioner
Luper in an interview on the fire losses last
year made the statement that the ratio OF
losses TO premium income will exceed 10
per cent. and that for Is years there Is moth
ing to compare with these figures. Ex-
planning this statement. he said il simply
means that the Pennsylvania companies
were compelled to pay out 81 sis,G7i more
than they received premiums during the
year ana still have many thousands OF un-
paid losses. In other words, instead of
making money they lost nearly S20J000O.
Asked as TO the condition as the Pennsyl-
vania fire companies he said: Solvent,
everyone of them. but whether they can
remain so with the business as disastrous
as last year Is another question" He
thinks hard times has something to do with
The large percentage of fire losses, but lattri-
butes the faulty construction OF building

How He Died.

The late Catholic Bishop Of Raphoe
used often to tell this story with
much enjoyment: ~ was suddenly
called, he said, "from my home to
see an unfortunate sailor who had
been cast ashore from a wreck, and
was lying speechless on the ground,
but not quite dead. The life's in
him still, your reverence; he stirred
a little So / stopped down and said
to him: My poor man, you're nearly
gone: but just try to say one little
word, or make one little sign to show
that you are dying in the true faith.'
So he opened one Of his eyes Just n
wee bit, and said: Bloody end to
the Pope. and so he died.

What our public schools lack most,
maintains the Chicago Journal, is q
course of instruction in the economic
laws underlying both National and
private business. If our voters had all
had even an elementary knowledge of

and methods of taxation rest, the
present suffering and the last years
81, 900, 600, 900 shrinkage OF values
might have been averted. 1t would
be sensible and patriotic measure to
