BsRRsD,
Insurance Companies Regard Bicycle Girls as
an Extra Hazardous Risk.

The bicycle girl cannot BE insured.
This is the decree of the accident in
surance companies. The reason for
this is as odd from n business stand
OF the frivolity of woman: that is. she
makes frivolous claims for damages.
The accident insurance policy usually
calls for payment of 5000 in case Of
death, and in case of disability from 81
tG S25 a week, according to the extent
of the injuries. The annual payment
to secure this insurance ranges from
81 to $50, in different companies
Scarcely a day passes that feminine
bicycle riders do not visit the insurance
compares as applicants for polices. but
now they are invariably told that they
cannot be insured under the rules
agreed to by the underwriters.
In the early stages Of bicycling
women were insured. and it was found
that claims from trivial or imaginary
injuries We're made by them so fire.
quently and pcrsistently that the under
writer's would be bankruptcd if one
half of them We're paid. So the ON
lanes at a joint meeting made a rule
that women bicyclists should be barred
from accident policies. All women are
not excluded. however. Those who are
engaged in business which requires
their personal attention and involves
travel by rail or steamer are treated as
desirable risks. If they are injured
while riding a bicycle for health or
pleasure they receive the benefits of
insurance. Bicycle riding is not con
sidered extra hazardous except in the
case of professional riders. The or
binary rider for health or pleasure,
even if he is a "scorcher," is considered
a desirable risk

Maine is endowed with a large num-
Der of important industries, and has
advantages in the way of places of for
eign name. over any other state.
Perhaps it may not be of any special
advantage, but, nevertheless, it is "a
striking peculiarity, not to be found in
any other state in the Union.
Maine was we'll named the Pine Tree
State because its great forests have
gained for it wide and creditable rep
utation.
To say a foreign trip can be enjoyed
IL Maine is making a statement which,
to be appreciated, must be explained.
1t does not mean that the traveller
can go aboard a gigantic ocean steamer
and pursue a course across the great
Atlantic. amid the foaming waves. sea-
sickness and all the attendant trbula-
tions which must be sustained during
such voyage.
Oh, no, you will not be obliged to
travel by water, but in many cases you
can go on the stage. Not the enter
tainment stage by any means, although
it may be in some cases very entertain
ing, but in most journeys it may be
rough and rocky and still pleasurable,
as the scenery along the way will be
very beautiful and charming in many
of the trips.
