In the country Cereals, fruit, veg
etables, etc. may be guaranteed
against hail risks with the national in
surance companies.
The Swiss Hail Insurance company
was formed as far back as 1884, and
and during the 26 years that It has
been in existence 1t has been Joined
by the greater number of the farmers
Of the country. the other company
which is working this branch OF insur-
ance. Of Neuchatel, being a local con-
Germ which insures only the vineyards
Of the neighborhood. From 1884 to
1908 about 100000 francs was paid
into the Golfers of the Swiss corn

ALMOST LIKE A COMPLIMENT
Woman of 80 Couldn't Feel Angry at
Youth Who Addressed Her
as "Kiddo."

Pumps are not the easiest things to
keep on ones feet. A woman who
was hurrying on her way to work
found out that foot can fall right out
of pump If the edge of a barrel stave
is trod upon at the proper angle. She
righted herself with a scuff and a
shuttle and managed to get the shoe
on again without having to relinquish
all her native dignity. AS she was
going through the performance, how
ever, which didn't take more than a
second all told, one of those easy
hammered, sociable young striplings
who abound in wholesale houses and
are usually to be found on the side
walks in the capacity of shipping
clerks or stencilers, brushed by with
a loud, Hey, there, Kiddo, dontcher
fall"
The girl friend who was with the
pump woman looked indignant. THE
ideal" she cried. Did you hear that
insolent puppy call out to you as we
passed? Why are you laughing? 1t
was most insulting. my dear. If 1
were only a man, I'd"
"Tut, tut, Mabel, dear. I don't mind
a bit. l suppose ought to resent it,
but-but-you noticed he called me
'Kiddo'?"
Eyes, that was the horrid part-so
vuigariy impudent."
The woman smiled. well, you see,
dear, / just couldn't feel mad at that
chap. It-it-seemed sort OF "a
compliment I'll be thirty-three my
next birthday"

WORST PENMEN IN CONGRESS
spar<r an Of Florida and Adamson Of
Georgia Share That Honor
Between Them.

"I'll bet you a dinner for ten peo,
pie" said Representative Frank Clark
of Florida one day last spring, &C.
cording to the Popular Magazine, that
the worst penman in congress is
Sparkman Of my state"
I'll take that bet" replied Hard.
wick Of Georgia. The man who
writes the worst hand in the world is
Adamson of my delegation"
Sparkman is chairman of the com
mittee on rivers and harbors and
Adamson is the head of the commit
tee on interstate and foreign COM
merce. The two congressman who
had made the bet selected commit
tee to pass on the handwriting in
question and then secured letters
written by Sparkman and Adamson
in their own penmanship. Those let
tiers we're something horrible to see,
and the judges decided that the writ
ing of both was so bad that the writ
ers, not the men who had made the
bet, must pay for the dinner.
While the banquet was in progress
Adafnson told this story:
Last winter a constituent of mine
wrote to me and asked for speci-
men of my handwriting, explaining
that he had heard it was the worst
in the world, and that he was making
study of bad penmanship. I com
piled with the request. In few days
he returned my letter to me, with this
note:
"'Finel Am enthusiastic. Didn't
know such handwriting was possible
Please send me a typewriter copy OF
the Enclosed. l need a key to it,"

POOR FlDo WAS KICKED OUT
ness After Learning He Was
Out Of Fashion.

The late Mrs. Sue Landon Vaughan,
who originated Memorial day, had al
ways a great love for humanity and a
great contempt for such things as OBJ
structed the free play of humanitar-
ianism.
Mrs Vaughan" said a Washington
veteran, "regan9ed lap dogs as OBJ
structions to humanitarianism, and
she had no belief in the sincerity OF
the average society woman's affection
for her lap dog. There's a lap-dog
story she often used to tell.
"A man-so the story runs-came
down to breakfast one morning to
find his wife in tears.
"'Oh,' she sobbed, what shall do?
Poor little Fido is Ill, and the dog doc.
tor says his case is serious. oh, what
will become Of me II anything hap
pens TO my precious little Pomeranian
Fidon
"The man comforted his wife as
well as he could, and that evening he
came home early in order to admin
lister more comfort to her.
ITO his amazement, however, he
found her, on his return, seated at the
piano. singing one of the gayest airs
from The Count Of Luxembourg
"'Why,' he stammered, why, when
l left home this morning Fido was
Ill and you were heartbroken, while
now-now-'
STUNNING gayly, she glanced at
him over her shoulder.
"'You see, dear she said, Mrs.
Van Astorbilt called this afternoon,
and she told me that Pomeranians are
not fashionable any longer. Every
thing is Pekinese spaniels now. So
dried my eyes and kicked Fldo out "

PepsIn Fifty Years Old.

The introduction OF pepsin as a
remedial agent effected a complete
revolution in the method of restoring
to normal the ailments which In the
old days were classed in a group as
dyspepsia.
II physicians were to observe an
niversaries of the discovery Of rene
dies which had proven blessing to
mankind the entire profession would
unite in remembering the fiftieth an
niversary of the first manufacture OF
pepsin in this country.
Just half a century ago the late
John Carnrick, the eminent physio-
logical chemist and the father Of
physiological products in the United
States, made possible a new epoch
in American medicine By producing
the first pepsin.
> Pepsin had been made In small
way in Europe before Mr.. Carnrick's
enterprise caused 1t to be introduced
here, as It was originally suggested
by Or. Corvisant of Paris. The quail
ty was so poor, however, that its use
was distinctly limited.-Dietetic and

three thousand TO portray every i'm

unquestionably the greatest subject
