stock off the hands of the investor at the
end of six months should he desire to dis
pose of the same. DR.. Charles r. Yohn,
of Bel Air, is the local representative of
the company and their offer is only for

Last Thursday afternoon about four
O'Clock a heavy wind storm swept over
Hartford county. 1t bowed strong
gale and uprooted many trees and broke
down telegraph and telephone wires.
The storm was particularly severe in
Baltimore City where four lives were
lost. Following SO closely in the foot
steps of the cyclone of a week ago it
would seem that we are fast becoming
similar to the Western States where
curance 1t is claimed that their pre-
valencc is owing to the large forests
which are rapidly being cut down by the
lumbermen. Aswe ha We heretofore urged
it would be good idea for the insurance
companies to consider the ACCESSIBILITY OF
inserting a "cyclone clause" The rate
need be but very little higher and the pro-
lection afforded would be gratefully ap-
preciatcd by those who suffer from the
storms furies.
