speakers mode of thought is Influenced
by his surroundings.
Take, for instance, a well-known adage
and notice how the residents of several
cities would put it:
"A bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush"
In Boston this might become:
'One thought of Browning. thoroughly
assimilated, is more valuable than two in
a state of mental nebulosity.
The New York version:
Paper profits must be realized upon be-
fore they can add to ones bank account"

u CCQRDING to an associated
press dispatch from Minneapolis
vast clouds of grasshoppers"
are alighting on the fields in the vicin-
ity of Rolla, N. D. Vast clouds of
grasshoppers are a bad thing in any
country. There isn't a silver lining or
any other redeeming feature about
them. Science has not yet discovered a
way Of dissipating them. The farmers
have nothing to do but to wait till the
vast clouds roll by and then see if they
have left anything worth harvesting,
Somebody ought to invent something to
combat these clouds of grasshoppers.
They say that middle-west inventors
have learned to break up cyclones by
firing cannon balls into them. The
efficacy of such treatment as applied
to grasshoppers may well be doubted
but there should be something some
where in the copious resources of chem
istry to make grasshoppers too sick to
do any agricultural claim jumping.
Under clouds of this character a farm
er's life is dark enough.

EXAMINE KANSAS MUTUAL
Question About Raising Premiums to
Be Settled by Examiners.

Senator R. T. Battey and w. G. Aus
tin are engaged in making an examina-
ton of the Kansas Mutual Life InSur-
ance company, which was practically
solicited by the management of the
company.
This company issues what is known
as an $50 policy, 50 called because it
was special form inaugurated in 1886.
Policy holders in several parts of the
state complained to the insurance de-
the premium and inquired If this was
permissible under the law.
The contract specifies that the policy
holders shall pay not less than the sum
specified therein, but contains no pro-
vision as to increases. Twenty per cent
assessment, deposited as a reserve fund
for the benefit of the policy holders.
Governor Stanley holds one of these
policies and has $50 in his reserve ac-
count.
When he suggested that the company
had no right to raise the assessments.
the management asked the governor If
he would be satisfied if they would take
the $50 in his reserve account and APP
ply it to the payment of premiums on
policies held by other individuals.
The company, under certain circum
stances, justified by the conditions and
the life expectancy, increases the pre-
MUM this class of insurance. To
furnish the insurance department with
all the information concerning this fea-
was solicited and is now in progress.
AS a matter of law the company
seems to have the right to raise these
assessments. The Covenant Mutual of
Galesburg got into litigation over this
same proposition and the courts sus
company had a similar case sustained
in the courts.

Ohio Man Remains in Unconscious
State For Many Hours

Elyria, o., June 5.-Fred Beaver of

by the bite of a mosquito a few days

is nevertheless a fact.
Beaver is a farmer in that township.
While on his way to a neighbours Bea-

and fell PROSTATE and insensible. He
was conveyed to the house close by and
medical attention was given him. He
remained in an unconscious state, how
ever, from $50 at night until a late
hour the next morning. He has now

ence seems to be due to a peculiar sus-
ceptibility to this poison. Last sum-
mer he had an exactly similar expert
ence with the sting of a bee.
