THE BANKING LAW.

Representative Skinner has intro
duced bill to repeal Section 2, of
the state banking law, and the Hope
Pioneer says it is to be hoped that
the bill will pass. The section reads
as follows:
"It shall be unlawful for any in
dividual, firm or corporation, to con-
tinue to transact banking business
or to receive deposits for longer
period than six months Immediately
after the passage and approval of
this act, without first having COM
piled with and organized under the
provisions of this act. Any person
person violating the provisions of
this section either individually or as
an interested party in any associa-
ton or corporation, shall be guilty
of misdemeanor, and on conviction
thereof be fined not less than $500
nor more than 81, 1000, or imprison-
ment in the county Jail not less than
ninety days or either or both at the
discretion of the COURT
This section is all right and it is
our modest opinion that Mr.. Skin
ner's bill should be killed. We have
had a little experience in private
banking the past few days and our
opinion will be backed by a host of
mournful depositors. Most any
body, before the new law was passed,
could start a bank, deposit their own
note for $4,000 as capital in their
own bank, hang out a sign and re-
ceive deposits, and after a season
close their doors because of insufi-
cient funds to meet their obligations.
Man depositeth his wealth in bank
in the morning and feeleth rich; in
the afternoon the bank busteth and
his money vanishes like snow under
the warm rays of the MONDAY sun,
and he knoweth not where to get his
next quarter to get his dinner. By
all means repeal Section 27! Give
these private banks all the show pos
sible. This is a farmers legislature,
and as such it cannot afford to 20
back on other farmer bodies. by sit
ting on capitalists and protecting the
farmer, laborer and mechanic. Leg
islators, vote for this bill and you
vote in favor Of maintaining snide
banking houses. Vote against this
unjust measure and you vote to COM
pei bankers to incorporate under the
state law with bona fide capital and
you also vote to protect depositors.

few days. He reports the young coln-
ty commissioner and the rest Of tho
family in good health.
No, Dad. do not assert that the
farmers as body 20 it entirely blind,
but do contend and that without fear
of successful contradiction that among
no other class of people in the United
States can you find as large per cent
age that fall such easy victims to the
wiles of sharpers, their other s,hemes
fakes, and are so easily bamboozled,
deceived, taken in and done for as you
find among the farmers. AS witness
the lightning rod, Bohemian oat, pa
tent right and various other schemes
so successfully worked on them, which
would have fallen flat with any other
class, and then we see how easily q
large portion of the farmers are led to
advocate and support the wild. vision
AIRY and totally impracticable schemes
of loud mouthed blatant political re-
formers, who come. before them with
such absurd schemes, such as the sub
treasury warehouse proposition, the
impracticability of which is every day
becoming more apparent to tho most
ebtuse mind. Now Dad, you must not
think that am down on my brother
farmers Or that l do not sympathizes
with them in their unequal struggle
in the battle of life, tor / assure you
that my full sympathy and best wishes
are with them in any and all legitimate
and feasible efforts to better their con-
dition. But Dad, as am not angling
for an office can afford to speak NV
plain honest convictions let them be re-
ceived as they may.
P. S. hope that all farmers will
take yonr advice and take several good
looks ahead before they leap in future.

A BURGLER's EXPERIENCE.
Outcome OF an Attempt ut Rob

NaN York Sun

about the most unpleasant experience
ever had, said a retired burglar, was
IN small village in the western part of
the state | looked around the town in
the afternoon and located a house that
seemed promising, and about 2;l5 the
very next morning went in through the
back door The lower part of the house
was nicely furnished. but | didn't want
any hric-a-brac, and | went right up stairs
and turned into the first chamber came
to- There was a very dim LIGHT burning
in the room but it wasn't light enough TO
see by, and ! turned on my glim. The
light just happened to strike the head of
the bed, and woke up man. He sat up
and said as cool as could be, We'll, what
is it?' and told him | wanted whatever
dust he might have there, and | wanted
it soon. had met cool men before, and |
WASH going to stand any bluff.
'He got out Of bed and started for q
bureau in the corner of the room kept
the light on him all the time. He was a
wel-built young fellow, not more than
twenty-four. He had manly sort of
look about him, and was almost ashamed
TO rob him. When he moved up toward
the bureau moved up, too, so as not to
give HIM a chance % open a window Gnd
Loller or get any other drop on me- where
couIdn t reach him. He had got about
one more step tomake TO reach the bureau,
and he was moving along as quiet as a
man could, when, quicker'n Lightning
he made jump and butted me square of
my feet before | knew what lie was doing
My lamp fell one way and my jimmy the
other, and the next second he fell on me so
heavy that thought he would grind me
through the fool.
IL had a gun with ne. but didn't even
have a chance to get hold of it. He grab
bed both my wrists when he fell, and then
somehow he managed to hold both OF them
with one hand, and with the other grab
bed me by the neck, and he just simply
dragged me out and threw me DOM stairs.
! could hear myself banging all the way
down and expected TO be all broke up

my feet looked up to the head Of the
stairs where the man was His face had
a serious kind Of look on it. but when he

said;
"Will you kindly close the door when

That seemed to make him mad, and
he stopped smiling and started for the

door after me.

In that year he obtained permission from
the Greek government 70 explore the re-
mains Of ancient Mycenie, the capital of
Argos, where he unearthed near the Lion
gate the FIVE royal tombs which the tradi-
ton OF over 5000 years had declared to be
those of Agememmon and his friends, who
were slain on their return from the siege
of Troy, and which PauSanlas mentioned
and accurately located. The sensation
made when the intelligence of this dlscov-
cry reached the world was very great. There
were the forms yet undeCayed OF ancient
Greeks, with gold plates over their faces
and their breasts; pictures were taken CT
them. and the fact that embalmed Phar-
aohs and thousands Of other Egyptians
were already familiar to our age did not
essen the impression OF wonder with
which this discovery was regarded. The
gold and silver vessels found IN Mycel9
were Of high order of artistic merit and
wholly independent of oriental influence.
Many of these objects found their proper
place in the museum at Athens but
others were exhibited in London, and some
came to this country. Schlemmn visited
England after this find, and was received
with distinguished honors, and made a
member of many learned societies His
book on "Mycena" was published in Lon
don in 1877 with preface by Mr. clad
stone, who has made Homer one of his
special diversions
1t is unnecessary to follow the many
other explorations of DR.. Schliemann in
Mediterranean islands Including the site
of Taormina in Sicily In the vicinity OF
Rome, in ancient Eruria, and again at
Hissarlik He published in 1881 his
"Orchomenos, work which hasnot been
published in this country; in 1888 'Iro-
ia, summing up the results OF his exam
ination of the Troad; and in 1856 III

Mycene. For several years his homo has
been in Athens, where four or five years
ago he built a great house winch is one OF

Economical Living,

One of the subjects talked and written
about GOOD deal at the present tine is
how TO live cheaply Prices for all the
great staples of life are high Rents are
enormous. Fashions are exaCting. Wants
multiply while resources diminish. How
to make strap and buckle meet is the
problem which presses on hundreds of
housekeepers. ltlS,what is done to keep up
appearances that destroys the equilibrium
between outgo and income, and makes
life a drudgery and yexation. How to
1--we cheaply is question easy enough to
answer If one will be content with cheap
living. Substitute comfort for show
Put convenience in. the place of fashion
Study simplicity. Refuse to be beguied
into style of living above what is re-
quired by your position in society and is
justified 10y your resources Set fashion
OF simplicity, neatntss, produce and in
eXpenslyeneSS, which others will be glad
to follow, and thank You for introducing.
Teach yourself to do without a thousand
and one pretty and snowy things which
wealthy people purchase. aud pride YOUR
self with being just as happy without
them as your rich ncighhors are with
them, Put so much dignity. sincerity
kindness, virtue aud love into your simple
and inexpensive home that its members
will never miss the costly fripperies and
snowy adornments, and be happier in the
cosy and comfortable apartments than
most Of their wealthy neighbors are in their
splendid establishments. 1t does not fol-
low that in order to live cheapIy one must
live meanly The best comforts Of life
are not costly Taste, refinement good
cheer, wit, and even elegance, are not eX-
pensiye. There is no trouble about young
people marrying with no outfit but love
and health and an honest purpose, proyid-
ed they will practice the thrift and prud-
ence TO which their grandparents owed
