THOUGHT CAME IN TIME.
Or Generous Friend of Hospital Might
Have Been Offended.

Lakeside hospital is probably Sam
uel Mather's chiefest hobby.
If there is a deficit in the hospital
finances at the end Of the year Mr..
Mather is usually only too happy to
write out a check that will more than
make 1t up.
This has gone on from year to year
until whenever anything is broken or
damaged about the place the nurses
and other employees look upon the loss
as just that much out of Mr.. Mathers
generous pocket. If nurse drops a
saucer she will smile and remark:
Poor Samuel" Among many of the
nurses the remark Is almost a byword
whenever anything goes wrong.
Not long ago, SO runs the story,
Mr.. Mather was at the hospital visit
ing member of his family who was
Ill. He was unfortunate enough to
lean against vase of flowers on a
table. The vase fell to the floor and
broke.
Two nurses were standing by. They
exchanged glances and one of them

Would Change -~,.oA Law.

In his biennial report TO the COVER
nor Attorney General Fred S. Jack
son recommends three important
changes in the laws governing trusts
in Kansas. One change provides a
penalty be fixed for each day con-
Germ continues to do business in the
state after it is proved to be a trust.
A second change provides that the
corporations with headquarters in
other states but doing business in
Kansas, must produce their officers
on demand of the attorney general,
The third recommendation is that the
courts be given authority to deter
mine whether a corporation has a
monopoly on a certain line of pro-
ducts and if it is determined it has,
public utilities commission be en-
powered to fix prices for the output
In this state.

Latest Kansas Events.
Profits in Fire Insurance.

The fire insurance companies do.
ing business in Kansas In a year re-
ceive, above the amount Of money
paid out for losses, almost as much
cash as is required to pay all of the
state expenses for the same length
Of time. Fred s. Jackson, attorney
general, in his biennial report to the
governor, will ask for the establish
ment of an insurance rating bureau
in Kansas. His chief argument in
favor of this plan is the amount of
money received from Kansas by the
insurance companies. His report will
say: There was collected in 1907
for fire insurance premiums in the
state, $3,776,603, The companies paid
in losses for the same year, S1,649,-
GAS, leaving the net amount of the
premiums received by the companies
above losses, $2,126,955. The insur-
ance commissioner estimates that the
total expense and loss accounts of
the companies should not exceed 60
per cent of the gross premiums re-
ceived. On this basis, the net profit
to the insurance companies for the
year was in round numbers $1,133,-
$780,"

Horse BREEDING to Type.

Farmers, and others, for that matter,
Ar well, must breed to type. They
must know what kind of horses they
wish to produce and strive to that
end, declares John Gilmer Speed in
Century magazine. To do this, they
should know what kind of material is
at hand, and how 1t can be used. Here
Is something that the United States
department of agriculture should do.
And the war department might also
assist, for proper cavalry remounts are
difficult to secure. In European coun-
tries, where great standing armies are
maintained, there are not only govern
mental breeding farms, but the farm
ers are encouraged to breed army
horses by the giving of prizes, and by
permitting aforementioned stations
OF proper breeding to stand to ap-
proved stock at merely nominal fees.
In Austria have seen a whole regi-
ment of cavalry mounted on horses so
true to type that it would take study
and acquaintance to tell one horse
from another. In Germany the govern
ment has been breeding for the cav
airy since the time Of Frederick the
Great, and with most satisfactory re-
suits. In these continental countries
much enterprise is shown in securing
the best blood that may be had in
other countries, not emitting the Des-
ert of Arabia, whence comes the best
and purest equine blood in all the
world. In this matter of horse-breed-
ing the Italians are not the least enter
prising, nor, by the way, are TIE tia
lians by any means inferior in their
craftsmanship.

Americans who have hesitated be-
tween the use of Scotch" and Scot
tisn," not knowing which is preferable
or correct, will be interested in know
ing that others have felt the same
doubt. The subject recently came up
in the house of commons when a men,
from Dumfries urged that the name of
the Scotch education department
should be changed to Scottish"
Scotch, he said, was wrong, but when
urged by his associates to prove this
he could not do so satisfactorily.
Facetious members insisted that his
objections to the word Scotch" grew
out of his temperance proclivities and
the fact that the word suggested other
things than race of people. The ad-
vocate of Scottish" did not convince
his English hearers, but as a matter of
fact it is said that the word Scottish"
prevails in Scotland. 1t is a matter of
custom, however, without special philo-
logical basis.
