"BOGY MAN" JUST
KEEPS AFTER THEM.
So the Riddles In Kansas Have
just About Quit Playing
Hockey

Topeka, Kan, June 22.--The lad
or lassie who plays hockey" in
Kansas has a strenuous time, for
the truancy officers are right on
their track Figures of what the
"bogy man" did to| the truant dur
ing the school year 1911 were made
up Today by Superintendent E. t.
Fairchild.
The law requires that all child
rem between s and IS years Of age
must attend school. Each city of
the first and second class has a
truancy officer. One truancy Of
ficer serves for the rural schools
and the cities of the third class in
each county
There are nine first-class cities
In Kansas. During 1911 the tru-
ancy officers in those cities found
ASA children who should have been
in school, but who were not even
enrolled. There are seventy-two
second class cities in Kansas, and
in them LIZA children were sent
to school who had not been enroll
ed. In the rural and third class
cities 4,221 youngsters were en-
rolled in the public schools by the
,truant officers. The boys ana
girls who we're not enrolled are
really truants, however. They had
not been in school at all.
A separate list is kept of those
who enrolled but would not at
tend. In cities Of the first class
$3.50 were found in this classifi-
cation and sent back to school and
kept there. In the second class
cities there were 3,206 and in the |
third class cities and rural schools

to South America have shown
big gain in the fiscal year which
ends with the present month. Be-
fore 1911 the total value of ex-
ports to South America had never
reached 500, 100000. In 1911
the total was s109. 100000 and in
the current fiscal year the total
seems likely to be $135, 900,
having more than doubled since
1905.
Argentina is the country show
ing the greatest purchases from
the United States. The figures Of
the bureau OF statistics of the de-
partment of commerce and labor
indicate that the exports to Argen-
tina for the year will amount to
$55, 900, AGAINST S23l500, 0o6
in 1909. To Brazil the total exports
for the year will exceed 100000
900 in value, against s11,000,00
in 1905, an even larger percentage
of gain than in the case of Argen-
tina.
To Chilli the total for the year
will amount to about $15, 900
against s5,5o0,000 in 1905, gain
of nearly two hundred per cent.
To Uruguay the exports will ag-
gregate in value S7,500,O0o
against a little less than $4,000
900 in 1905.
This Increase in exports toASouth
America is especially notable in
lumber, leather. mineral oils and
railway material The exports of
lumber to Argentina in the ten
months ending with April last
in value to $3.50, 600, |
against $4,000 in the cores
bonding months of last year. Elk
ports to other South American I
were valued at more than
100000, against 100000 in
he preceding year.

CRIED ALL DAY OVER
HER RUINED F1NERY
Now Miss Dorothy Rogers, Actress
Is Suing Baltimore Clothes
Cleaner.

SttAhtT+
Baltimore, June 22.--Had Din
ma stepped down from Olympus
and strolled into Part 2 OF the
city court, where Judge Heuisler
sat today, she would probably have
produced the same effect as did
Miss Dorothy Rogers in that Court
room. Miss Rogers is an act
ress. Vaudeville lovers know her,
| having seen her on several occa-
sions at the Maryland theater. She
was the plaintiff in an action for
damages against David Chertkof
and before the trial was ended
the pretty young woman showed
some of the tricks of the dressing
room. while a crowd of curious
men sat around, grinned and en-
joyed the show.
On the witness stand she said
that Chertkof ruined a S11O suit
of clothes when she sent it to him
for cleaning.
ut was the best suit owned
she mourned. II used to wear it
only on Mondays in the big towns
like Baltimore and Philadelphia, to
make a hit with the newspaper
boys. Now just look at it. 1t is
torn and ragged
Attorney Cronin looked at it;
grabbed it from the table, and
then there was lightning
change" Off came her tan coat;
on went the torn and rumpled
coat before Judge Heuisler real
ICED what was taking place.
Il can't try the skirt on" she
whispered blushingly. Judge,
your honor, it has shrunk up to
my knees
Judge Heuisler blushed. The
gailiffs blushed, but the callous old
fellows on the first two or three
rows only grinned.
Hasn't your weight increased
lately?' asked Attorney Stephen
| ] MeDonough,
/ why, moo, none at all" was
the surprised and indignant reply.
1T was awful, Judge" she con-
tinued. Il cried all during my act
on the stage the day that suit was
returned 1t was awful My best
suit ruined"
Chertkof went on the stand and
he told of some of his difficulties
with the clothes of actresses.
GOTTEN we have to chloroform
actresses clothes, just like doc
tors use medicine he declared
Then he told of some OF the
appliances used in the cleaning OF
costumes.
Miss Rogers had come over from
Philadelphia for the trial, and
when Judge Heuis1er told Attorney
Cronin that he would reserve his
decision she hoped into a taxicab
and was off for the railroad sta
ton to get back to the Quaker City
in time for matinee.

1t should be explained that
I.loyd's as corporation, has moth
ing TO say to these assurances. The
brokers who issue the insurance
policies do business as individuals,
lust as a stock broker does his bus
mess on the stock exchange. The
insurance brokers meet every morn
ing at Lloyd's and make the

Just as the brokers and iobbers
make the prices Of shares on the
stock exchange.
One of the most extraordinary
risks | ever dealt in was in cen
nection with the chances OF

clipping with a certain gentleman,
before a specified date. Her un-
Gle took out a policy, and paid me
l 900 guineas as premium II
the elopement had taken place, [
should have had to pay the uncle
10000 guineas
Quite common sort of risk
dealt with at Lloyd's is for man
to insure against damages when
girl takes action for breach OF
promise against him.
Not long since a young gentle
man gave me 500 guineas as a
premium on a policy Of this sort
/ guaranteed for that premium TO
pay damages that the jury might
give the lady who was suing him
OF course, I went into all the de-
tails of the case very cerefully be-
forehand.
The lady was awarded TOD $,

than 100 guineas to the good. Tbs |
damages might on the other hand,
have been 1000 or more, for the
defendant was pretty well-to-do,

The bulk of the insurance done
i Lloyd's consists of maritime
isk. There is not much to say I
bout this class of business, ex- {
ept that occasionally the broker !

low of a broker who once made
900 by one of these fancy poll
es, which, of course, usually re-
lit in the broker having to pay.
A wire came in one day to say
1at a certain ship was actually on

oHcy undertaking TO pay 5000 !
( the ship were lost, The prem
um charged was 5000 and the |
ship was actually saved, so that
the broker netted 5000.
