MODERN ALADDIN'S CAVES,
The Vaults i'll which the M~illionaires Store
Stocks and Bonds and towels.

The Vaults i'll which the Millionaires Store
Stocks and Bonds and jewels.
The vast fortunes in stocks and bonds
Of the millionaires of this city are not
stored in the brown-stone dwellings of
the avenue. The thin walls, black wal
nut doors, and easily picked locks of
those houses would offer little resistance
against the violence Of a mob or the in
genuity OF q burglar. The days when
skillful cracksmen could capture large
quantities of valuable property in rich
mems homes have almost passed away.
Taught by experience, or admonished
by example, persons with portable val
tables have beenforced to seek places of
storage and security. Within nearly
the last dozen OF years there have
sprung up in answer to that demand
buildings of massive structure and ex-
ceptional strength. All that inventive
genius could discover or money COM
mand has been employed to render
these places fire and burglar proof.
There are many of them scattered
through the city from Wall. street to
Harlem, all agreeing in their main
features of massive strength and in
spring solidity. These are known as
safe deposit vaults. They usually oc-
cupy the ground floor Of some stanch
fire-proof structure, and the mass of
locks, bars, bolts, combinations and
burglar resisting contrivances is really
wonderful.
A description of one up town near
the center of the city will answer for the
rest Entering from the street you pass
up to a wall of solid steel bars, every
bar as thick as a mans wrist and
twelve Or fifteen feet high. These arc
firmly fastened to each other and into
the stone floor, and across them is
pla ED a'stout wire screen. Two keen
eyes sharply survey you from the inter-
stl 'es OF the screen. If their owner is
i'm pressed favorably there is a clicking
OF locks, a rafting of bolts, and slowly
me pobSeress iron gate swings back.
Next you fall into the hands of the SUI
Ip~erinten!.nl who gives you another
keen survey, and then, unlockinS an
~aa wicket. :>hers you into the vaults.

ROLLER SKATING,

Its Devotees Are Liable to Deformities 81
tho Limbs and Other Functional De-
engagements.
Concerning the roller skate there is
unfortunately little risk of exaggerating
its evils. Although OF only compare
lively recent introduction, its effects
upon the carriage and gait and upon
the anatomical development, especially
of growing children are already quite
marked. These obvious physical effects
are inherent in the muscular action in
volved in the use Of this form of skate.
Unlike the ice skates, there is no Gid
ing movement, nor are the opposing
muscles ..of the lower eXtremities
equally exercised, in the constant sue
cessions Of side thrusts which make up
all there is of exercise on roller skates.
When to this is added the fact that the
practice may be, and is by many, con-
tinued throughout the year, while ice
skating lasts only a few weeks at a
time with long intervals between, it is
easy to see why $ o many youths of both
sexes are acquiring the peculiar gait Of
aMicmac Indian or Hudson Bay voy-
ageur in the snow-shoe season. Exam
ination of the ankles of the majority of
the children who clatter anon the
smooth stone sidewalks of our residence
streets will reveal a t%hickening of the
Igaments Of the joint, and an undue
development of the muscles and tendons
Of the outer side, which point to the
condition of one of the common kinds
of club foot-and in which the subject
walks on the inner ankle. The results
are patent even to the p9n.professional
eye, and are therefore proper topics of
comment in the columns of a news
journal. But there is another class OF
evils arising from the continuous use of
roller-skates which is of a much more
serious nature, and to which only the
merest ailusion may here be made. The
care Of the health of future mothers is
the especial sacred charge Of those who
know, by personal experience, how pro-
foundly that health may be affected by
some apparently insignificant cause
during adolescence. There IS sufficieng
reason for the belief that the form III
exercise in question is capable of pro-
ducing both structural ana functional
disturbances of q lasting nature.--Chl

coon RYE MY LOVER.

Editor Register ALLOW me a little
space in your paper for the purpose of
apologizing. to Brother Miller.
In the first place he takes an unfair
advantage in quoting from Proverbs.
knowing that have no Bible to hunt
up the quotations and I think it
would have satisfied most of your read
ers if he had said his say instead of
having to hunt up references. But
when I come to think that he is or was
the "Silent furniture man of lola" it
is best he should not talk much. He
reminds me of the man who was very
Jealous christian while the warm
weather continued, but when it got
cold, and without fire in his bedroom,
he wrote out long prayer and pinned
it to his bedstead, then after disrObing
hastily he would point to the paper
saying: 80 Lord, those are my senti-
ments," and Jump into bed and disap-
pear under the covers leaving the Lord
to read at his leisure. And as Broth
er Miller has crawled under the cover
will leave him with an affectionate
goodnight. Yours truly,

coWLEY COUNTY.

DEXTER, COWLEY Co., KAN.
Mr.. Editor Register II thought I
would write you few items from here
If you would give them space in your
columns. There is considerable sick
ness in this vicinity. r. E. Booth,
formerly of Allen county, is lying very
low at his home in Dexter. Mr.. Chas.
Booth, of Allen county. was called here
by the illness of his brother, as was
also w. H. Booth, of Arkansas, tele-
graphed for. Mr.. Booth was in very
critical condition, but is little better
at this writing.
Grading on the D., NJ. & A. railroad
has commenced near Belleplain. Near
ly sixty miles is ready for the ties and
rails.
Sowing wheat is the order of the day,
corn cutting among the things Of the
past.
Mr.. Chas. Booth returns home to-
day after spending one week with his
brother. he is well pleased with the
country, as is every one who comes
here.
Our old fall and winter king, Jack
Frost, made his appearance here last
night and greatly changed the verdure
of the earth.
There were hundreds of bushels of
peaches here this year, a great many
went to waste under the trees. Apples
are plenty and of good quality, as was
proven by the display at our fair. Corn
is good, will average forty to fifty BUSH
els per acre on bottom land.
If this doesn't find its way to your
waste basket I will write more next
time. UNCLE PETE.

ALL those chaps from Chanute and
other localities " ho recently stuck their
stakes in this county on what they
supposed to be government land, (bas-
ed upon Judge Brewers decision i'm the
Allen county land league suits), and
who sent their filing money to the land
office at Independence, have received
their money back again, with the fol-
lowing note from e. NJ. Ralstin, reg
lister: "This land is not open for settle
ment, and no filings are received by
this office" The disappointed land
seekers have pulled up their stakes and
started for their homes with large
sized fleas in their ears.-Reese Sun
Flo,oer.
It's pity the land jumpers in this
county didn't have sense enough to
'Iull up their stakes' when the same
kind of flea was put in their ears.
