ing for the issue Of circulating notes by
state banks, free from taxation under
certain limitations.
The Secretary explains his plans SO
plainly and its advantages are developed
by him with such remarkable clearness
tnat any effort on my part to present ar
gument in its support would be superflu,
Gus: l shall, therefore, content myself
with an unqualified Endorsement of tho
secretary's proposed changes in the law
ana n brief and imperfect statement of
their prominent features.
IT is proposed to repeal all laws pro
viding for the deposit of United States
bonds rs security for circulation; to per-
NIT national banks to issue circulating
notes not exceeding in amount Is per
cent. of their paid-up and unimpaired
capital, provided they deposit with tho
government, US a guarantee fund, in
united States legal tender notes, in
Guiding Treasury notes of 1880, a sum
notes they desire to issue, this deposit
equal in amount to 30 per cent. of the
to be maintained at all times, but when
ever any bank retires any part of its
circulation a proportional part of its qua
ranty fund shall be returned to it; to per-
NIT the Secretary of the Treasury to pre-.
pare and keep or hand ready for issue in
case m increase in circulation is desired
blank national bank notes for each bank
having circulation and to repeal the pro-
visions of the present law imposing lin
itations and restrictions upon banks de-
string to reduce or increase their circula-
tion-thus permitting such increase or
reduction within the limit of IS per cent.
of capital to be quickly made us emer-
gencies arise.
In addition to the guarantee fund re.
CURED, it is proposed to provide a safety
fund for the immediate redemption of the
circulating notes of failed banks by I'M
posing a small annual tax, say one-half of
1 per cent. upon the average circulation
of each bank until the fund amount to 5
per cent. of the total circulation outstand-
ing. When q bank fails it's guarantee
fund is to be paid into this safety fund
and its notes are to be redeemed in the
first instance from such safety fund thus
augmented-nny impairment of such fund
caused thereby to be made good from the
Immediately available cash assets of said
bank, and If these should be insufficient
such impairment to be made good by pro-
rata assessment among the other banks,
their contributions constituting n first lien
upon assets of the failed bank in favor of
the contributing banks.
1t is quite likely that this scheme may
be usefully amended in some of its de-
tails; but I am satisfied it furnishes n
bnsis for n very great improvement in
present banking and currency system.
/ conclude this communication fully ap-
preciating that the responsibility for all
legislation affecting the people of the
United States rests upon their represen-
tntives in the Congress, and assuring
them that whether in accordance with
recommendations I have made 9" not, I
shall be glad to cooperate in perfecting
any legislation that tends to the prosper.
ity and welfare of our country.

football which both Yale and Princeton
have exhibited in years past. The game
itself, however, was totally different
from the recent Yale Harvard smuggling
match and was played from the start to
the finish without u display Of temper or
n show of blood. Just us long as the
game cnn be played in this way it will
remain the most popular Of college sports.
The Western football season just clos
ed suggests very strongly the organiza-
ton of n Western Collegiate Football
League. For the last few seasons GER
thin college teams have clearly excelled
all their Western rivals. and it is the
opinion of many Western college men
alumni among the numbcr-thnt a league
should be organized. This seasons work
Inns shown that Wisconsin, Michigan,
Minnesota, Purdue, University of Chica-
60 and University of Illinois excel the
other Western colleges Mt the kicking
game, just us they have done for several
years. If these six institutions should es-
tablish a League it would undoubtedly
greatly improve the gamc in the West.
With n six-college league, all the men,
bers of which had comparatively strong
teams, n schedule of games could be mr.
ranged in which there would be almost
as much interest rs now is shown in the
great games East. A point in favor of
the league suggested is that four of the
colleges are located in large towns, where
big attendance Mt games would be a GER
tainty. The exceptions are the universi-
tics of Michigan and Illinois, yet while
Ann Arbor and Champaign are not large
places they would doubtless turn out we'll
to games of Importance, and the attend
ance of the students alone would be no
thorough football town and games with
Purdue would always he a financial sue
cess. Almost the same can be said of
Madison and the Wisconsin team.

How He Saved Himself From Capture
When Inside the Federal Lines.
Bishop Polk of Louisiana, who served
SO zealously in the Confederate army,
had one adventure at the battle of Per-
ryville which is best told in his own
words He says:
About dark, shortly after the arrival
of Liddell's brigade, observed a body
of men whom I believed to be Confed-
crates standing at an angle to this bri
gade and firing obliqi1ely at the newly
arrived troops.
'Dear me-" said I, "this is very sad,
It must be stopped" So turned round,
but could find none Of my young men,
who were about on various messages. l
determined to ride up myself and settle
the matter. ! cantered up to the colonel
of the regiment, asked him iH angry
tones what he meant by shooting at his
friends and desired him to cease doing
so at once.
II don't think there can be any mis-
take about it," he said, with some sur
prise. II am sure they are the enemy
Enemy" 1 said why, Ihave only
just left them myself. Cease firing sir!

establishment that he was Federal, and
that [ was i'll the rear Of the Federal
lines. I knew there was no hope but in
brazening it out, my dark blouse and the
increasing obscurity befriending me, Sc
I approached quite close to him, shook
my fist in his face and saids
''I'll soon show you who am. Cease
firing at once!'
I then turned my horse and cantered
slowly down the line, shouting in an
authoritative manner to the Federals TO
cease firing
At the same time experienced dis
agreeable sensation like screwing up my
back and calculating how many bullets
could lie between my shoulders. I was
afraid to increase my pace till I got to q
small copse, and then put the spurs in
and galloped back to my men. rode up
to the nearest officer and said to him,

"Twenty- second of February" an

This seemed to be poser, and no re-

teacher encouragingly. ':Now tell us

HER BONNET.

When meeting bells began to toll.
And pious folk began to pass,
She deity tied her bonnet on,
The little sober meeting lass,
All in her neat, white curtained room, be-
fore her tiny looking glass.
So nicely, round her lady cheeks.
She smoothed her bands of glossy hair
And innocently wondered if
Her bonnet did not make her fair.
Then sternly child her foolish heart for har-
boring such fancies there.
So square she tied the satin strings,
And set the bows beneath her chin,
Then smiled to see how sweet she looked
Then thought her vanity sin,
And she must put such thoughts away be-
fore the sermon should begin.
But sitting meath the preached word
Demurely in her fathers pew,
She thought about her bonnet still
Yes. all the parsons sermon through
About its pretty bows and buds, which bet
ter than the text she knew.
Yet sitting there with peaceful face,
The reflex Of her simple soul.
She looked to be very saint
And maybe was one, on the whole
Only that her pretty bonnet kept away the
auresle.

decided repugnance to anything that
savors of personal advertisement. Only

THE SIDEWALK WIZARD.

When the day gets mild and mellow,
just as people do with age,
And the sun makes red and yellow
Pictures on the azure page,
Then we say farewell to daytime,
Then we Danish books and sums,
Then the city takes it's playtilne,
Then the organ grinder comes.
How the heart goes lightly Ginning
70 the melody that springs
From some simple poets rliyming
Pulsing through the vibrant stringsl
Children flock with faces beaming.
Old age, too, the music huns
All is youth in fact or seeming
When the organ grinder comes.
And the dancers, 1.-the and merry,
Trooping, haste like hordes of elves.
Weaving webs that blend and vary,
Known to none except themselves.
TITS fairyland in true life.
Where no grief the spirit numbs,
And we find sparkling lew life
When the organ gringer comes.

The gendarme's lips described smile
behind his thick mustache as he took
possession of me again, this time with
both hands.
''Come, now, don't try that" said
one of the railway officials. ''You may

police arrested four American anarchists

I listened in specifies wonder to his
words. I looked at my trunk, and my
wonder increased to stupefaction as I
heard metallic ticktack inside. Sud-
denly there was loud report, like a sig
nal fer all explosion.

one. Officers and porters scattered i'll all
directions, and even the gendarme moved
away. I alone remained, like hero. I
tore open the trunk and pulled out the
clothes in feverish haste. All at once I
felt something hard inside a nightshirt,
and the next moment drew out and ex-
posed to view little clock!
I had unknowingly packed up the ho
tel keepers property, and it was strik-

the spectators.
Then, putting my head down, like
wild boar that scents the hounds, I
dashed toward the cab again and sprang
in, shouting to the driver:
"I'll give you a louis if you get me
to Place de la Bourse before noon.
Seven minutes and half later the cab
was tearing up to the Stock Exchange.
I jumped out, flew up stairs to The

The next instant the first stroke Of
noon sounded from the exchange clock.

Dyspepsia.
There are so many forms Of dyspepsia
that it is almost impossible to give the
foods most suitable without knowl-
edge Of each case. Dyspepsia usually is
caused by one of two things-either de-
fective muscular action Or defective Sc
erection of gastric juice When it can be
ascertained where the digestion is at
fault, then nearly absolute directions
can be given in regard to diet. In the
majority of cases the articles given in

poached or soft boiled eggs, good brown
bread, gluten bread, boiled rice, oat-
