The Mcpherson bill has passed
the senate and day has been set for
its consideration in the house. Its
purpose is to give the national banks
upwards Of s3O,OOO,OoO dollars 1T one
per cent to loan 10 the labor Of the
country at usnrions rates. In other
words it gives the banks us many
dollars in notes to loan ont as they
have dollars in bonds on deposit
virtually paying the face OF the
bends yet paying the banks III terest
on all the bonds deposited. When
the banks whisper their distress
from lack OF money to loan to labor,
congress hears their plainiivc wall
instantly, but when labor asks that
the corporations shall be restricted
in their systematic robber. the de-
mand Is unhcarl ana UNDECIDED

Holm spent last winter on an cast

The Artificial Dimp pie.

New York Cor. Cllcngo Hcfld.I
In the way Of attractiveness in fash.
ionable femininity itself tho newest nom
sense is an artificial dimple. II ia mads
by smearing small spot on the chin or
check with calorless shellac varnish
mixed with glue and then pressing the
tlcsh with the point of pencil or pen
holder, holding it 50 until the stuff bo-
comes dry and fixed. The process is
not available for thin, bony faces, nor
where the skin il thick and tant; but in
the case of a soft, PUPPY surface a very
deceptive result can be produced. Tho
stiffcned indentation retains the shape
OF dimplc, and busting Of powder
conceals the oonglomoratc. A httlo
care must Ee observed on smiliay too
suddenly lest tho dimplo be broken; but
with gentle usagc it will last . whole
