II This Kind Is Now Taken
Out by Many of the
Farmers

"Hailstorms have destroyed more

storm In that section.
Last year one hailstorm in the
Eortsern part of Sumner county and
the southern part of Sedgwiek swept
an area 80 miles long by two miles
wide. About IS 800 acres, most of it In
growing wheat that promised to yield
% bushels to the acre. were destroyed.
A half million dollars worth of wheat
was ruined in that one storm"
The hailstorm was never feared by
the Kansas farmer until wheat be-
came staple crop. Corn will recover
from hailstorm and make an average
crop, but light fall of ice at certain
time will ruin a crop of wheat. May
and June are the months of hallstorms
| in Kansas,
In France and Spain where the hall
storms destroy the grape crop large
| cannon have been placed on the hills
above the vineyards. At the approach
| OF hailstorm explosives are shot into
the cloud. and it's a belief among
farmers-laughed at by scientific men
-toat the storm is sometimes dissi-
pated. The Kansas farmer doesn't
lombard the clouds. He has found
| that 1t pays better to insure his crops.
Hail insurance companies have been
organized. The farmer insures his
wheat crop against hail just as the
man In the city insures his house
| against fire. He places whatever value
on his crop he can afford to pay the
premium on. Some farmers occasional
ly Insure so heavily that they would
not object to hailstorm to save the
expense of harvesting the crop.
The first hail insurance companies
were mutual companies, organized
among the farmers of a county or a
district 1t was soon found that those
companies were not safe because a
haiistorm usually cleared whole dis
trict. Then each farmer was COM
PEELED to bear his own loss, for the
mutual company could not pay. East
ern capitalists have formed a number
of hail insurance companies in the last
| five years.
| Farmers have a belief that hail will
follow the same path for three con-
secttive years. So If hailstorm de-
stroys a crop they insure heavily for
the next two years.

ENGLISH WoMAN'S JOKE
Package She Called Valuable Sur
prised Lawyers and Bankers
When Opened.

There Is such thing as carrying a
joke too far Six years ago an Eng
lish woman who was travelling in
Toronto trust company a parcel care
fully bound and secured with a num-
ber of imposing seals. 1t was under
stood that the parcel contained jewels
of great value, and therefore 1t was
guarded with Jealous care. says the
Rochester Post-Express.
A few weeks ago the English wo-
man died, and clause In her will
made mention of the deposit in trust
in Toronto. After due process of law
it was ordered that the seals be
broken in the Canadian city. Heirs
in the old land and one in far dis
tant point in Canada sent their re-
spective lawyers to be present at the
opening of the valuable package. On
the day appointed the lawyers assem-
bled in a private office of the trust
company. Here is a correspondent
description of the scene that fol-
lowed:
RED seals on the. outside of the
DuhupS Wtlt ul5L DlOhtu, thSi an al :
ray OF green colored seals were en-
countered. After. this wrapping came
fold sfter. fold of paper. Then the
lawyers saw an oblong pasteboard
box, also carefully sealed. The ex-
element was almost intense. Beads
of perspiration stood out on the
learned brows of the privileged few
present. With the unfolding of each
successive wrapping around the box
they expected to see the glitter of
gold and the luster of diamonds. At
last. with nervous fingers, it was
opened; the treasure seemed near at
hand. Two more folds of paper were
undone. and several pairs Of regal
eyes saw an innocent and faded pair
of corsets."
Nothing is known OF the motive for
leaving the faded pair of corsets in
trust deposit vault. We may assume
that the English woman was ecentric
and wished to play prank or her rel
atives. II so the joke was a success
although she may not be able tn ap-
preciate it. There is material for a
novel in this incident. While Collins
or Charles Reade would nave based
an exciting three decker" on 1t, and
had Conan Doyle foolishly decided not
to write more Sherlock Holmes stories
he could expand the episode into

The Sheen of Pearls

The famous pearl stud belonging to
the late marquis of Anglesey, sold az
Christie's in London some time ago for
the large sum of $4,000, is eclipsed by
beautiful pearl which changed hands
some years ago for over s65. 900. 1t was,
of course. huge in size, and absolute per-
fection as to shape and color, and it
possessed that radiant sheen which
marks the pearl of great price. This
characteristic is noticeable in the pearls
owned by Queen Margherita of Italy,
and by those in the possession of the
duchess of Marlborough. gems which
often graced the beautiful neck of Marie
Antoinette. The luster 1t is which raises
the value of the pearl and decides its
price, and smaller jewel possessing it
will realize larger sum of money than
one Of even greater size lackingit.
