WHAT is the difference between a
farmer and an agrlculturist, did you
say? The difference is vast. A farmer
is man who works farm and strug-
giles with mortgage, while the agricul-
turist is the man who struggles with
the farmer, in order to milk his cows
for the benefit of the man who owns
the mortgage.

The Two Great Financial Problems.

The Two Great Financial Problems
The two questions of primary Importance in
the financial world, OF course, are these:
l. How can the Banking System be con-
tinued after the expiration of the United States
bonds, which are held as security for their cir
culation and
g. How can q safe, elastic currency be pro-
vded for which shall give the country greater
volume of money at one time than at another,
but at all times make every dollar as good as a
gold dollar?
Mr. Michael d. Harter. member of Congress
from Ohio, who for the last twenty-five years
has been q private banker as well as large
manufacturer, and who, therefore, has studied
these questions from the point of view both of
the borrower aud of the lender, has for many
years been at work upon a plan which he now
gives to the world as solution of both these
problems. He would allow the present ma
tional banking system to remain, substituting
for United States bonds, State, Municipal and
Railroad bonds of undoubted character and he
would so provide for the establishment of State
banks alongside of national banks as to admit
of the issue of just such a volume of currency
as the business of the country requires. Incl
dentally this plan would have many advantages
apart from its main purpose. For instance, it
would exert strong influence upon the man
agement of Railroad, State and Municipal debts
to keep their bonds in sufficient standing to be-
come security for currency.
Mr.. Harter has contributed a full statement
of his plan to the October number of The Foru m
after having submitted it to the criticism of a
large number of the best students of finance in
every part of the United States. 1t is plan
that will certainly arouse discussion from one
end of the country to the other, and one that
its friends confidently expect will sooner or
later be adopted.

Reported for The Egis.
On Wednesday of last week three sharpers made
an unsuccessful attempt to swindle Mr.. Jacob
Shertzer. of Churchville, out of $500. The day
before, Mr.. ShertZer was walking through the
woods near his home when he heard whistle
Looking around he saw man reckoning him to
stop. He halted and the stranger coming to him
enQuired if he knew man named Thompson who
had farm for SALE Mr.. ShertZer did not know
such man but mentioned several farms in the
neighborhood that were for sale. The man want
ed to engage him to take him and his friend
Judge White. of Baltimore" to see them. The
latter was seated in a twohorse wagon, on the
road. A bargain was struck, Mr.. ShertZer agree
ing to take the two men to see the farms for $40.
Judge White remarked that they were profession
al men and did not object to paying what was
right for any service. BY agreement Mr. Shert-
ger met the men the next morning. and getting
into the wagon he took them to a farm near by
which was for sale. This farm was examined and
shortly after leaving it they met man with
satchel who enqured if an advertising wagon had
passed that way and also wanted to know the way
to Aberdeen. The route was described to him and
he walked off, The two men in the wagon then
wanted to take another look at the farm they had
just left. On their way back they met the man with
the Satchel, who entered into conversation with
them. telling them he was an agent of the Loui-
circulars from the mails was advertising its bust
ness by personal solicitation. The man took from
his satehe three pieces OF card board two OF which
shuled the cards and laid them down. telling the
three men that if either could designate the card
marked prize he would receive So. One of the
farm buyers drew the lucky card and the man with
the satchel promptly handed him five dollar note
Mr.. Shertzer was then asked to make trial for a
prize of 800 He did so, and drew the marked
card. The stranger took out roll of money and
| handed it to one of the men in the wagon who
counted it and reported the amount to be 81. $780,
This, the lottery man said. OF right belonged to
| Mr.. Shertzer and he would send him the remain
| der from Aberdeen. Before giving him any part
of the money, however, he remarked that the lot
| terry company wanted his influence to push their
business and it necessary to prove that he had
means and influence by displaying at least the
amount of the prize he had won, $500. Mr.. Shert-
ger says he felt in his vest pocket but had not quite
| the required amount about him. Some time be-
| fore this he was convinced that he was among a
gang of confidence men. At this stage of the game
therefore, Mr.. ShertZer asked the men to drive to
| the place where they had first taken him In and
| unload him. They did so and Mr.. ShertZer re-
turned home the strangers having in the confusion
of parting, forgotten TO pay HIM any portion of the
$40 they had promised him for his services.

''what' has become of the hornets" Hornets
are as numerous as ever, but their food being
house flies, since the general introduction Of
window and door screens both flies and hornets
have been shu. out of doors, and the hornets,
consequently, are not seen in our houses or
about our doors, as formerly. A close observer
may see several of them, almo any day, about
the porches and at the sides Of every country
house, fy-catching. Their nests are often built
under the caves of houses and thus escape OBJ
servaton. Some seasons they appear to prefer
to build their nests in trees and other high
places, where they are readily seen. In other
seasons they build their nests on the ground, or
in briars or low bushes, where, of course, they
are not so easily seen. Old weather prophets
say the higher the hornets build their nests the
milder the winter will be. Their nests being
very near the ground this year we may look out
for very cold winter. JIM SANK.

another mishap few days since. He had gone
to the woods with his brother TO drag out some
poles for hanging tobacco, and claiming several
OF the poles together he endeavored to ride home

slipped and striking him forcibly on the foot
cut it badly. He was very much disabled but

One of his employees was engaged in breaking
stones and as Mr.. McCung leaned forward to
inspect the work chip from the stone struck
him with considerable force.
As Master Charles Dalton was engaged in
