SAD LIFE
ENDED AT INSANE ASYLUM

Arcadia, Feb. 16.-News comes of
the death of Henry E. Wild, which
occurred at the State Asylum for the
Insane at Chattahoochee. This is a
chapter in one of the saddest cases
ever known in this section.
Mr.. Wild was a merchant in this
city, apparently prospecting in bust
ness. 1t was the early part of last
June when Wild shot Fletcher In
gram, who he claimed was despoil-
ing his home. He was placed under
a heavy bond.
Later he was indicted by the grand
jury, which charged him with mur-
der in the first degree. But Henry
Wild knew not of it. His reason had
become dethrOned and when the Of
ficers went to make the arrest under
the murder charge it was only to
take in custody a mad man and place
him under the care of the state.
II is understood that Wild had
several thousand dollars of insurance
left to his little boy and girl. His
wife lives in Jacksonville. South
Florida has not had a sadder piece
OF history enacted in her borders in
many long day.

HOME INSURANCE
IDEA GROWING
SOME STARTLING FIGURES SHOW.
ING FLORIDA TO BE FAVOR.
ABLE FIELD.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. l6-Finan-
cial and business interests in this
State and capitalists in all the great
money centers are watching with
more than passing interest the de-
velopment OF the home insurance
idea in Florida.
1t is perhaps not generally known
that Florida occupies the unique
position of being considered by the in
surance world as the best moral
board of any state In the uniOn--and
this is a magnificent testimonial to
the standard of honor which obtains
with all classes of It's citizens.
The exclusive moral hazard is the
little-Old-man-Of-the-sea OF the fire
underwater. With this unknown
quantity, which runs through all in
surance calculations, eliminated en-
tirely insurance companies could re-
duce their problems to mathematical
exactness through the application OF
known safety regulations and the i'm
mutable law of per centage. There
would be material drop In the pre-
miums that are now demanded to
cover the unexpected losses.
1t was the disastrous freeze of 1896
which left this splendid business
heritage to the State. In the wake
of the freeze were thousands OF
men who were worth $4,000 and
upward one day and who found them
selves SO impoverished by the chill
blast which stole down from the
north in night that they could not
have raised SIS or $50 for railroad
fare the next day. Fortunes van
ished between suns, leaving moth
ing but denuded and untried lands
and magnificent residences to be
closed because their owners were not
able to maintain them or to go to
rack from want of care.
Yet through all that trying period
which followed, when the transac-
tiOn from citrus dependency to an
agricultural and industrial empire
was evolving, there was not a singl.
dwelling house loss by fire in the
entire State which was in the least
questionable. Insurance companies
are more than vigilant under such
circumstances. Occasionally serious
business depressions are followed by
material rise in the loss ratio. This
illustrates the meaning of the term
moral hazard"
There have been many other ad-
vantages local to Florida which have
increased the wonderment of invest
ors at the failure of this State-the
only one in the union not SO provid-
ed-tO organize home fire insurance
companies The field is certainly
here. The increase of insurance on
business property in this State
jumped from Sal. 100000 in 1900 to
$131, 200, 900 in 1910. 1t is ex-
pected that the Spectator report, due
in April, will show that there was as
much as 100000, 900 in force in
| 1911. Since the report for 1900 was
compiled there has been as much as
$15,OO0,000 of buildings constructed
in Jacksonville, and as much more
in the rest of the State. These fig
ures speak loudly and pointedly to
the insurance world.

Change is good for all of us. and no
where so much as within the home cir
Gle. provided, of course, it be not car
ried to excess. For the tired master OF
the house to return to the bosom of his
family and discover week by week that
the thing he expected to find in one
spot had suddenly been transported to
another does not produce that pleasing
feeling of repose which is supposed to be
the charm of the domestic circle.
On the other hand. it is equally disas-
trous to find. year by year. exactly the
same scheme of arrangement in the
household. 1t becomes a WEAKNESS to
the lesl the inhabitants, quite unknown
to themselves. become ''groovey," and
their outlook on life becomes unconscious
ly narrowed.
1t is therefore good for both humans
and their household furniture sometimes
to effect a Encouragement of the domestic
items. even if it be only done at the be-
ginning of summer and winter.
1t is perhaps hardly necessary to mem
ton that the wear on carpet is more
equalized if it be turned around occa-
sionaliy, SO that fresh portion be
brought near the doorway, where the
greater part of the traffic occurs.
Certain couches and easy chairs which
till now have congregated around the
hearth might with satisfaction to all con-
cerned be placed near. the windows;
screens which have been used only for
draughts might be transferred to other
portions of the room and assist in the
arrangement of a coy corner; piano and
writing tables may be put into different
positions; pictures and mirrors may be
subjected to a Encouragement, and any
other ideas likely to occur to the artistic
woman might be put into execution.

Little Stories for Bedtime.
PETER RABBIT TRIES TO SLEEP.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.

Peter Rabbit sat in the doorway of the
old. deserted house that Grandfather
Skunk had dug long ago. He was Won
dering when he had better go to sleep
for the winter He never had slept all
winter. but if Johnny Chuck could do it
Peter felt sure that he could. He had
been through all the old houses of which
he knew and this one which Grandfather
Skunk had moved out of long, long ago
was the best So Peter had cleaned out
the bedroom at the end of the long hall,
and had decided that he would be safe
and comfortable here and that he could
hardly find a better place to spend the
winter.
One thing worried Peter. Jnc Billy
Postum had told him that he should eat
and eat and eat, until he was very fat
indeed, SO as To keep warm all winter.
Peter remembered how fat Johnny Chuck
was the last time he saw him. Peter had
tried to do just as the Billy had said.
He hadn't minded eating. oh, my. no!
He hadn't minded eating, not the least
little bit You see. Peter thinks a great
deal of his stomach and he had rather
eat than do anything else. unless it is to
listen to other folks affairs.
So Peter had started out very happily
to eat and grow fat. But that wasn't as
easily done as he had thought it would
be. You see. it was SO late in the season
that he had to run about a great deal to
find plenty to eat. OF course, being in
hurry to grow fat. he ran as fast as lie
could from one eating place to another.
Now. running and worrying take fat off
instead of putting it on and here was
Peter Rabbit, this cold morning, sitting in
the doorway of the old house with less
fat on him than when he had first
thought of sleeping all winter 1t was
very discouraging.
Peter looked around through the Green
Forest Ii wasn't green any more. eN-
ceptinS where the pine and hemlock trees
grew. All the other trees were bare:
their leaves made a brown carpet over
the ground. All the little bushes were
bare. Between the tree trunks Peter
could see down on the Green Meadows.
Even these were green no longer. but
We're yellow and brown. Peter shivered
a little. for it was cold, and jolly, round.
