sioner. Vorys has issued q letter to all
accident insurance companies doing
business In Ohio, setting forth his ruling
that death by sunstroke, freezing, sep
ticaemia, and hydrophobia, inasmuch as
they may or may not result from acci-
dental causes, cannot be legally included
in an accident policy. RTE s,=.... +. T.
This letter Is the result Of tho COM
missioner being asked to pass on the
legality Of q clause in the policy written
by q company doing business In Ohio,
in which death by sunstroke was called
an accident. Other companies desired
to incorporate the clause. He made Z
searching study Of the causes Of sun
stroke. 4 = zz$.5
q Sunstroke comes from the overstim-
ulation Of the heat center in tho brain.
and is caused BY the body heat being
maintained at q high point during a
number Of hours. 81: >5:=
The afaiction gets its name from the
fact that the victim falls suddenly. II

His brother Carl, his junior by little

His wife was Princess 1ngeborg, daugh-

hunting, and has travelled far and wide

Waldemar is just q tritie older than
Prince Oscar. He has four sons and

ment, for about II years, has been lead

upon as the type of the progressive,
practical man Of affairs. He has prac-
ticed law, been head of his fathers large
ship-building interests, and has taken
time from business responsibilities for
the service of his country. 1t was large
ly through Mr.. Michelson's influence
that Norway obtained a jury system sim

other reform he successfully labored for
was the extension of the suffrage. Nor

Of Bjornson pronounces him a figure
completely and profoundly representa-
tive of his race. In the frequently quot
ed words of DR.. Brandes, to speak the
name Of Bjornson in any assemblage of
his countrymen is like hoisting the Nor
wegian flag. Bjornson has always been
fighter as well as an artist, and it has
been his self-imposed task to arouse
his fellow countrymen from their mental
sluggishness. But whatever the oppo-
sition aroused by his political and social
radicalism; even his opponents have
been constrained to feel that he was the
mouth-piece of+their race, as no other
Norwegian before him had been, and
that he has voiced whatever is deepest
and most enduring in the Norwegian
temper" The later period of his life
has been marked by keen interest in polit

for the separation Of Norway from the

OF the inclination of state to make

white men slaughter the beef cattle in
their manner in this age Of progress.
The buffalo grass, the short grass of
fame, which grows on the millions of
acres west of the Missouri river In
South Dakota was the enticement for
the bison, as It is now for the cattle
and the cattle owners. 1t is so sweet
and nutritious that two-year old ami
NAL will add 80 per cent. more weight
in q year of pasturing upon it, than
the brothers and sisters of the same
animal will add on the pastures OF the
longer grasses of the far southwest.
Many times cattlemen have sold their
''short-grass" cattle within so cents per
100 pounds of the price paid for fat
cattle. There is no beef which is so
Juicy or so we'll 'marbled" as that of
the peef from the Dakota range.
It is but few years since the expert
ment of shipping was tried; cattlemen
stock to Dakota was tried; cattlemen
made fortunes the first few years.
Then cattlemen grew reckless-the
price paid for Texas ''stuff" was raised
and the profits declined. Some hard
winters decimated the herds, and ship
ments from the south were reduced.
This year, however, the cattlemen of
the range country have a surplus of
cash as result of a winter so mild that
their losses were not two per cent; ;
moreover the cattlemen have come to
realize that the native northern cattle
suffered in the winter storms almost
as severely as the Texans. There was
an early indication of big purchases in
the southwest, and the railroads live
stock agents, alert to this, were prompt
to put in a rate such as would be i'm
possible, for instance, If the opposed
plan Of giving governmental COM
mission the rate-making power were
now to be operative.
It was soon discovered that the
panhandle" of Texas had almost no
surplus of young stock-its surplus
was marketed last year to turn it into
money. The agents Of the railroads
and of the big ranchmen, therefore,
went further to the southwest, to the
Mexican border at Ell Paso and across
the Rio Grande, where was found a
great surplus Of young stuff" -
Therefore, the migration of the
herds this year will very largely be
from lush grass country and the noun
tains and valleys Of northern Mexico.
