What | Know About Hardware
and Interest

The laws which regulate interest
are similar to those which regulate in
surance. The risk of loss determines
the rate. Some property can be in.
sured at per cent, some at 2 l 2 per
cent, some at > per cent. and some
property cannot be insured for less
than 10 per cent. Powder houses and
oil houses cannot be insured at all.
Some citizens of Waco can borrow all
the money they want at per cent,
Others have to pay 10 per cent. others
cannot borrow any money at any rate.
An act to regulate the rise and fall of
the Mississippi river or the rise and
fall of the thermometer, would be no
more absurd than an act to regulate
the rate of interest or insurance. Our
law makers in their great wisdom (?)
thought that 10 per cent. usury law
would cause money lenders to run
after borrowers and beg them to take
their money at low rate. If any Dor.
rover has been overwhelmed with Of
fers OF cheap money, the fact has
never been made known. No one will
pay 10 per cent, for money unless it
will cost him more not to borrow, but
under the law, loans whose risk is
worth more than 10 per cent cannot
be made at all.

AN AMERICAN WOMAN.

WIN Shoot Down Like Dog tho
First Insultcr Of tho American Flag
A Worthy School-Tcacher.

The example set by good old Barbara
frietehie many years ago has found n
counterpart in the action of Il brave
Iloosicr school-mistress, who, defantly
clutchihg rife, stands daring any man
or set of men to again haul down the
American flag from the school-house of
which she has control. Miss Emma
0Connor of Charlottesville that
State, is greatly humiliated to think
that the little cotton flag upon which
sho set such store was torn down and
destroyed, recently, by lawlcss band
of ignorant miscrennts, who have seem
lngly forgotten that the great war
epoch ended n quarter of century ngo.
That the wanton insult to the flag may
not occur ngain she has made d fort
and arsenal of her school-house, and
declares that she is now prepared TO de-
lend "0ld Glory" with her life's blood.
That she win do Just what she says no
one doubts for Miss O'Connor comes
of fighting stock. An ancestor fell in
the war of the revolution, her grand
fathers bones bleach on the plains of
Mexico, while her own father sleeps on
u Southern battlefield.
After the assault on the flag, Miss
0'Connor wrote stirring letter TO GEN
c. NJ. Travis, past department com
mander, who resides in Charlottesville.
She nnrriitcd the circumstances sur.
rounding the insult, requested that he
report the affair to the Grand Army OF
the Republic and closed with tls fol.
lowing stirring words: 81 shall pro.
cure another flagstaff and raise an.
other flag next Monday, If l have TO dc
II myself, and IL shall stay there, too.
My father died in defense of the stars
nnd will too, If need be, for while
live and teach in district No, o the
American flag shall wave over the
school'house, and the first man whc
tries to haul IL down shall perish on
the spot"
Gen. Travis presented the letter Mt the
Grand Army post, TO the Sons OF
Veterans camp and to Washington camp,

War Among Frog.

Many of the citizens OF Vermont
will remember to have seen one-dol-
lar bills of the Windham County
State Bank n vignette representing
frogs fighting. This was engraved to
commemorate what is known as the
Battle OF the Bullfrogs.
Many years ago, when the town OF
Windam was newly settled, there was
n very dry season. There are two
large ponds in Windham, separated by
n considerable strip OF land. Each OF
these ponds was inhabited by large
number OF frogs.
The smaller pond dried up, and its
inhabitants started in body for the
lower and larger pond. They were
met IN the intervening space by n
party from the larger pond, aud n
fierce and long-continued battle
cnsued between the rival communi-
ties.
The hideous clamor OF the frogs
during this encounter attracted the
attention OF several farmers, who
witnessed the strange spectacle OF
bulfrogs engaged in fierce and
deadly battle. The contest lasted
twelve hours, and nearly all the in.
habitnnts of the little town witnessed
it. The war is now one OF the tradi-
tions OF the place.
