A Prospector's Luck,

We were camped alongside OF an emigrant
train in Nebraska. and Just after supper a
woman about 40 years OF age. who was smok-
ing pipe, came over to our fire and sized the
crowd up and said:

woman. When I've got thing on my mind I
don't boat around the BUSH"
We looked at her with curiosity and surprise
and she leaned against the wheel OF wag on

Many Banks VIII Hereafter Receive Them
for Collection Only.

WASHINGTON. Aug. flowing to tho disin-
clination OF the national banks OF the country
to part with their currency at this time. it is
probable that pensioners who are to be paid
this month will experience a slight delay In
receiving their money. This state OF affairs is
brought about by the banks. which have here
tofore cashed readily all pension checks pre-
scented. but now several OF the more prominent
banks In the West have notified the Treasury
Department that in view OF the financial
stringency. they do not feel justified in con-
tinuing at present the policy pursued BY them
in the past. All pensions are paid by checks
drawn at the agency in favor Of the pension
ers. generally on the SUBJ Treasury at NewYork
The custom has been for the pensioner to pre-
sent his check at his local bank, receive tho
money for 1t. the bank In turn sending it on to
New York for collection This requires con-
able ready m on ey. in some Instances $780,
900 q day. Acting Secretar Curtis has suggested
to the banks that are inclined to cash the
the necessary currency with them to pay pom
sion checks on presentation. The banks are
not favorably impressed with this idea. as
their cashing OF pension checks at all is sim
60 to tho trouble of .depositing bonds 10
trouble that they do ct wish to undertake
All OF the banks have indicated q purpose to
receive pension checks for collection only. and
emit hitch. This will occasion from seven to
ten days delay. Pension checks paid at Indian
apolls. Knoxville. Louisville, and New York
are drawn on the Sub-Ireasury at New York:
Philadelphia and those at Topeka on the Sub
Treasury at st Louis.
