INSURING FOREIGN BILLS.
The proposition for American insuranceof for-
eign bills was brought up at the foreign trade con-
vention by Mr. George R. Meyercord, of the Decal-
comanin Company of Chicago, representing the Illi-
nois Manufacturers' Association, at the conference
on the problems of the small manufacturer—one of
the group conferences at which the most practical
discussions of the convention took place. Mr. Mey-
ercord founded his argument upon the experience of
domestic credit insurance, which is not the kind of
insurance needed. He suggested that the great ex T
press companies, the insurance companies, and cer-
tain financial institutions should combine in the for-
mation of a company to do a national business, but
he did not specify the conditions and terms of the
service.
PUBLIC LIBRARY MUSIC ROLLS.
Five hundred and seventy-live piano music rolls
have been added to the Kansas City, Mo., public
library's music department. They are the gift of the
Q R S Music Company of Chicago, and the Jones
Store Company of Kansas City. This brings the
number of rolls in the department to approximately
twenty-five hundred. Rolls may be obtained on
regular library cards, four at a time. Obtaining
rolls on the card does not infringe on the allotment
of books.
HE CARRIED A GUN.
Here is a specimen of journalistic wit from the
Topeka Capital. The remarkable part of it is that
the piano man with the gun was not out on a col-
lecting trip: "A bird arrested by the local police,
and claiming to be a piano salesman, carried a gun.
Hondo Murphy says that may not be a regular part
of a piano salesman's equipment, but that the one
who approaches him to sell a piano had better
carry a gun."
