Quets, such as that just given in his

easily explained The fact is that he
dimes on his own Chinese bill OF fare
before leaving home, and only pre-
tends to dine when he is at the ban

Friedrchsruh, asked him with aston

the dishes put before him. he replied

to abstain from eating rather than be

Bicycle Girls Not Insurable.

The bicycle girl cannot be insured.
This is the decree of the accident in
surance companies. The reason for
this is as odd from business stand
point as the fact itself. 1t is because
of the f1ivolity of women; that is, she
makes frivolous claims for damages.
The accident insurance policy usually
calls for payment of $4,000 in case Of
death, and in case of disability from
81 to $25 week. according to the eX-
tent OF the injuries. The annual pay
ment to secure this insurance ranges
from 81 to $40, in different companies
Scarcely a day passes that feminine

men are not excluded, however. Those
who possess separate estates and who
are engaged in business which requires
