So Much Interested in the Fair Passen-
ger That Ne Paid Donble.
A pretty young woman. dressed in the
height of fashion, got into one OF the
Fifth avenue ssbusses the other day to
drive up to Central park Some of these
buses still run on the old .sbobtail" sys-
tenn, that is. they have no conductors to
collect the fare, and passengers must
themselves drop their nickels into box
at the end of the conveyance The
driver is supplied with quantity of
small coin to make change for passen-
gers who have not the exact fare. As
this handsome young woman took out
her purse, several men bent forward ex-
pectantly for the privilege of passing
her coin up to the box for her. Ignoring
their readiness, she made her way up to
the box herself and dropped dime in
to it.
Then she waited for her change. No
change came, however. She looked at
the box anxiously, evidently thinking
that perhaps she needed to pull out
handle or press button somewhere in
order to see her change fall out, but all
she saw was a little sign, put the exact
fare in the box The men whom she
had overlooked only grinned. She APP
pealed to the driver for change. He told
her he could not open the box, but that
if she would wait until another passen-
ger got aboard she could have his nickel
instead of his dropping it in the box.
Pretty soon a typical 'schappie, with
monocle and English covert coat much
too large for him. stepped into the bus
and offered the driver ten cents to be
changed into two nickels. The driver
explained to him the predicament the
young lady was in and asked him to give
her one of the nickels.
Certainly, with all the pleasure in
the world" said the young fellow, as
with sain't I-just-in-it' smile he raised
his hat, bowed profusely to the young
woman and dropped nickel into her
little gloved hand. He bealned into her
eyes as he did so in way that evident
ly embarrassed her, but he grinned
wider at her blush and looked around at
the others as If to say, Watch me mash
her the first time" Then with a jaunty
air he dropped the other nickel in the
box.
Then several men snorted and the
young fellow looked up surprised to see
what they were laughing at. He could
not help seeing that he was the object Of
their mirth. He could not understand it
at first, but pretty soon it struck him
that he had got rid of two nickels for
one ride Then he blushed up to the
roots of his hair, got very hot indeed
and went out on the roof to cool Off
New York Tribune.

Now, Mr.. Editor. you know that bishops are
generally long-winded, and don't have only a
few words Of admonition'' to say to their

eBting and instructive, was rather lengthy

Ian. l was among the number Of those who
tried to make forhome in a "barbarons' hurry
but to my great modification, ! found my
way so completely blocked up, that even if |
had been a pin, ! should, scarcely have been
able to pass through the impenetrabls mass
of human beings for there was Miss Kitty
Small Waist, Miss Beauty Bright and Miss
Jenny Fine-Shape, with their one hundred and
ffty sisters, cousins and aurts,-some engag-
ed IN discussing the merits Of the e~loquent
sermon they had just heard, some exchanging
Greetings. and others embracing the very
favourable opportunity of indulgiug in a little
bit Of gossip-all apparently without the
slightest idea Of the very great inconvenience
they were c~ausing%other people.
At such a time as this, one is more than
half.disposed to do adittle cursing, and after
sundry futile attempts, | was beginning to
despair Of getting home before the expiration
Of at Least the next three quarters Of an hour,
when a fellow by the name OF Rowdy jim
made such a rush through the crowd, as to
cause a complete clearance why, he nearly
put an end to Miss Kitty Small Waist, and
Miss Beauty Bright was SO indignant athaving
the whole broadEids Of her blue silk dress
spoiled. that she swore she would send her
cousin Toby Philpot to give Rowdy Jim a
bow-sticking next day.

and wendell my way home as fast as I could;
as | went along, [ could not help thinking
what a good thing it would be for all parties
if the fair folks Of She-She town VOL learn
to have politeness, and kind consideration for

The Palmer Meeting.

A dispatch to the Capital tells the
story OF the meeting Al Palmer, Wash
lngtOn county, last week wnen all The
candidates tor Congressman IN this
district were pleScut, as follows:
There were assembled about ZOO
people from Washington aud Adjoining
counties. The day was pleasant anu
every lhIng CUnsplItu 10 make the meet
ing great success.
j. q. Lowe Was chosen chan man OF
the meeting for the reason, AS lac gave,
,hat he Was "A d!slnterested person, not
belonging TO auy patty IN this cam
pdigu, he having as all original Demo
Crnt, been dthUrued.
john Davis, Candidate OF The Peoples
Party, spoke first, ana his speech was
principally made up ut quotations. from
Tie speyCuts OF mtn who have occupied
prominent positions in The United
States. lie occupied the TOstTum for
three quarters OF an hour, and the
substance of his whole Argument was
the calamity tale Ut woe which has
been listened TO by the people Of Kan
sas for the last two years.
Next came the silver tOngued Repub
licau champion of the peoples rights,
j. II. Burton, who held the vast
audience spellbound for the time
allotted him. Cheer after cheer greet
ed the speaker as lie tore down tht
foundation walls ON which the Peoples
Party, through Davis, Simpson and
others, had built up the party. The
utierances of Simpson that the women
of Kansas were selling their virtue, the
men their honor, and their children
becoming criminals and Outcasts for
bread, were shown by the speaker as
not only AN objectionable insult TO
Kansas, but especially to those OF
Washington county, who were as well
dressed, as well fed, and whose honor
and virtue, IL questioned by any man,
would be deseryedly aud properly
resented by every man and woman in
the county, Several Republicans who
had voted with the Peoples Party
declared that they were through with
II, that they would vote for no man or
party who insulted their virtue or
honor. and that henceforth they were
with the old Republican party again;
that as between Davis and Burton no
man should hesitate moment as to
whom he would support for the office
of congressman for this district.
Next came s. G.. Cooke, the Demo
cratic candidate. His discussion was
confined chiefly to the tariff issue, and
he made good argument from the
Democratic position that free trade
should he accepted as the settled posi-
tion Of the United States.

The following expose Of another
shameful deed is made by a reliable
Grand Army man of Wichita regarding
Jerry Simpsons connection with the
G. A. H. during the last cam
paign when Simpson was away from
home he claimed to be member OF
the Grand Army, and would place in
the left lapel of bis coat a Grand Army
button. AS he was never member
of the order and is not today, he violat-
ed a statute of this State. When he
was Intercepted at Medicine Ledge,
upon his Ietutn from one of the west
ern trips, he stated AZ to his member
ship that he joined the order at Horace
In Greeley county. The commander of
the post at Medicine Lodge commune
Gated with the commander of the post
at Horace and found that Jerry had
been guilty of wilful and malicious
lying; that he never had been taken
into the post there. The truth is he
could not get into the order aud Ia
deceive the old soldiers he took chances
on violating the law and wore our
button.n

Bankg of Kansas,

The REFLECTOR has received the
first biennial report Of Hon, Chas. f..
johnson, State Bank Commissioner,
1t makes an exhaustive report Of the
banks Of the State under the new law
and shows them to be generally pros
porous and successful. The report
shows that on the fourth day Of June
last these banks had paid up capital
Of % ,427 ,O78 SO, including surplus aud
undivided earnings, with deposits Of
SIS, ii5, 9i4 so; bills payable, $5l7,-
09O. 6S; bills rediscounted, $lO6, 1913 IS.
Mr.. johnson makes q number Of
valuable suggestions one Of which was
foreshadowed by an interview with the
REFLECTOR some weeks ago. Partic-
ularly does he urge that the minimum
capital stock be not less than $4,000
instead OF $1,000 as now. AS the
liability Of stockholders is but double
the amount Of stock, q bank with
5000 capital stock and $4,000 or
500, 900 deposits has an altogether dis
proportionate liability. lie recon.
mends also that the reserve in savings
banks be reduced to 10 per cent to be
held in Gosh and 10 per cent in first
class bonds.
The coming Legislature will doubtless
take action upon the matter and revise
the law. Although yet to an extent
an experiment II is proving one of the
best on the statute books,
or the several hundred banks in
Kansas organized under the State law,
there have been but four failures since
the law went into operation, record
making a better showing than any
other Western state. The report speaks
Of these failures and says of a case OF
local interest:
Under section q receivers have beer
appointed for the following banks
Bank Of Macksyille, lnternationa

mously aud viii be elected by an over.
