The Supreme Court of Oliio has been ask«d to pass upon the question v/hether an act of heroism, in -which a man risks his life, compels him to forfeit protection of an accident insur ance policy. The case is that of a >'Oung mas who was killed at ai mp- tc-rdrome in Cleveland when helping to pull a fallen motorcycle driver from the path of other machines. The insurance company refused to pay the policy on the ground that he exposed himself to unnecessary risk. His wid ow sued, the lowrt courts gave judg ment for her, but the company appeal ed.

Would the in surance company hold that he should nave 3aid: *‘I am exceedingly sorry, but' I cannot save you, as that would invalidate my accident policy in the the event that I drowned?” In other words, must a man who c.".rries accident insurance never play the hei'o unless he is positive that his heroism will involve absolute safety for himself? Such a ruli-.ig would .-everse the opinion of Emerson that “it is man’s perdition, to be safe when fo'- the truth he ought to die.” But no matter what the Supreme Court of Ohio may hold in this particular case, some risks in life will still be worth more than ?600, even if an insurance company cannot afford to take them. —Minneapolis Journal. 0—^ High Prices Protested.

Beach Chester, who has just pub lished a new book of anecdotes, tells a story of a Scotchman in London who wi-ote a letter containing a proposal of mannage to a young lady in .Aber deen and, wanting to know his fate as soon as possible, asked her to tele phone her reply. He expected to hear from her in the morning, and he hung about the telephone ail day, but it was evening before he had the joy of hearing her dear voice, hundreds of miles away, accepting his proposal. “If I were you,” remarked a friend to whom he confided the reason of his elation, "I’d thirik twice before I mar ried a girl who kept we waiting , all dcy for an answer.” "Na, na,” retorted the Scotsman, the lass that waits for the cheaper night rates is the lass for me!” ■ 0 I On Eagle's VVings. “Riches take unto themselves wings,” quoted like the Wise Guy. “I suppo.=!e that’s the reason some Money Flows Back to New York. ( New York, Aug. 13.—An interest ing development in the flnancif.l sit uation today was the evidence that much money taken from New York banks the early alarm engendered by the foreign crisis is flowing back. This return flow largely is offset by in creasing deman.is of interior brinks. The West is calling for crop-moving money and the South is demanding cr.sh to harvest cotton. Cotton plant ers recently received material assist ance from local institutions, but this, it now appears ,was sufficient only to meet a small part of tjieir naeds.
