4 Sure Care for Ennui.

1t has been our privilege to inspect an in
creasing number of hospitals, many Of
them in the provinces. Few occupations
could have given greater pleasure or salts
faction than we have received from these
visits. How many q man and woman
groans, at the winter months especially,
and wonders what TO do TO pass the time
in the afternoons Of many days. How
many there are who become subscribers TO
our hospitals, who give an order to their
bankers for the payment of the annual
subscription, and who then forget all
about the matter. We would suggest TO
such people that they have not yet got full
value for their money.
lt is all very well TO subscribe 20 a hos
pital or to any other charity, but to stop
there is TO show an absence of appreciation
little creditable to the individual. il is an
old saying that he who pays the piper shall
select the tune. So those who support our
hospitals are bound. not only in the inter
est and welfare Of the public and the pa
tients, but in their own interests, too, to
become familiar with their methods Of
work, and to strive 10 possess some small
portion, at any rate. Of the spirit which
undoubtedly animates the large majority
these institutions We have been i'm
pressed over aud over again with feeling
that a hospital nowadays is a cheerful
place where most people are contented and
all are genuinely happy.
Even the sick feel that they are safe
when they find themselves in a hospital
bed, and as to the children, why, a chill
dren's ward has proved paradise on earth
to many little sufferer and waif. as all
our hospitals can testify. We would say.
then, to every governor, Get full value
for your money" and if we are asked how,

THE SAVINGS BANK CLOSED.

The Savings Bank of Wichita doors were
not open yesterday morning. The Saw
ings was the youngest bank in the city,
VIM. Z. Mathewson, president; A. Z.
Dodge, vice president; and c. L. Curtes,
cashier; and directors J. c. Mccormick,
Martin Hellar, r. NJ Piatt and Mr.. Merri-
man. On the failure of the American Ma
tional, of Kansas City, a rumor was
started that the Savings was largely in
volved, which was not true but which re-
suited in heavy withdrawal of currency.
The closing of the doors caused no excite
ment. The truth of the matter the as
sessts OF the institution will pay all in
debtedness two or three times over. But
for the want of ready cash to meet the
quiet run started by the rumor the bank
would have went along without even an
apprehension of trouble. The entire de-
posts undrawn, as shown by the books
were but S27, 70) Everybody felt bad
over the occurrence especially as all
Wichita's eight banks had gone through
the squeeze in fine shape From
the cashier we obtain the following state
ment of the condition of the saving at the
hour of closing: Due depositors, S27, 700;
bills payable, s., 600. or SD, 700 total liabil-
tiles. Assets as shown by books, S94, 900;
stockholders liabilities, slS3, $50; total as
sets, S277. $50 Mr. j. n. Haymaker, who
was made assignee, says that the creditors
one and all will get every cent that be
longs to them. The damage done is more
in name than in fact. There is general
regret in the city that a Wichita bank
should have been compelled to make an
assignment, but otherwise the closing of
the Savings doors in no way troubled the
business interests of the city or had any
perceptible effect.

4 WONDERFUL DISCOURSE.

Rev. r. T. Savin at the First NJ. E.
church, as one of a series of sermons on
sociology, on Sunday evening delivered an
address on the fictional literature of the
world and its relation to its religious,
ethical and mental life From the heroic
past, down through the amatory periods.
to the anylitic present, the works of the
ldealist and inspired romanticist were
swiftly but graphically treated. The
fancy of fiction, the dreams of immagina-
ton, touches our lives at every point in
vading the domains of all the sciences.

humanity. The fctional litera-

and rolling through clanking presses

From the production of the poets and
dramatists of the later medieval down to
the writers of the present times, wherein
and how their dreamings, their air-castle
buildings, and their mythical and realistic
deliueations have differed in pointing
morals and adjoining tales" the speaker
showed a wonderful versatility and uu-
questioned originality. The audience was
very large and attentive, the address a
mental treat such as is seldom offered from
any pulpit. The speaker was among his
books, at home in the realm of mentality
and not only knew but felt that
which he with such splendid dictation and
choice language impressed upon his hear
ers. His very first utterances viz: this is
an age of intelligence but not intellectu-
ally" caught the attention of every think
er present. and there are thousand men
and women in this city TO whom that
hours talk would have proved a delight
of warm emotions and impershable pre-
ceptions. Next Sunday night Mr.. Savin

In the I-rar,s Dan.

There is living in northern Maine an old
man who, in his childhood, had a novel
experience which recalls the tales of folk
lore and the classic fables He passed a
night in the den of a wild bear coming out
in the morning unhurt, and much pleased
with the company be had kept When he
was about years Odd he was one afternoon
left with pet lamb on the grass near the
house, and the two strayed together into
the woods
They were not missed for some hours,
and when hasty search for them proved
unavailing, the father and mother were OF
course greatly alarmed, for bears and
wolves were both plentiful in the woods.
The few scattering neighbors were reused
and the entire night was given TO the hunt
1t was not until daylight that traces Of
the missing boys tracks were discovered.
These were followed by the aid of dogs,
and the rescuers were led to the den of a
she bear, which had its quarters under a
big bowlder in a pine grove at the foot of
mountain.
The bear, aroEsed by the dogs, came
out of her lair with boldness which
showed that she had cubs TO defend. and
at sight of her everybody gave Up hope of
seeing the missing cnliu awe. W men,
however, they had shot the bear, they found
the little fellow curled up in the den with
a couple of bear wheIps, hungry and tired,
but apparently not in the least injured or
frightened
The boy was too young to give salts
tory account Of what had happened, but
as nearly as could be made out from his
story, the bear, who had come upon them
in the woods, had made a meal off his pet
lamb, and had then quietly returned to
her lair to sleep. The boy said she did not
carry him, but that he followed her be-
cause he had no longer any lamb for com
pany, and because he wanted to see the
pretty cubs.
He had pla-'d with them till dark
Then he cried 70 go homo, but did not
know the way, and he did not dare TO
leave the bears den because he was afraid
something would get him. The cubs were
companions for him, and he seems to have
felt quite safe so long as he stayed with
them.-Youth's Companion.
