A BIG ENOUGH DOLLAR.

L t4liC uithtt lfltult'.
The President is quite bereft
HIS hat and ancient collar
Because he gave his influence
To down the Silver Dollar.
CHORUS.
The dollar il j big enough
For paying debts its handy.
So let our friends all sing its praise
To Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Our daudies thought IT big enough
In centuries departed.
1t always did It's duty well,
And got there when it started.
II put a million men tOwnrk.
And blessed thpiTs0US and dauc htcrS
When issued out in whole or halves,
Or simply went in quarters.
From youth UurcOUntTy grew to are
BY using silver money,
BIT lately gold dust made a fuss
Ha' acted sort OF funny.
II wa il did its share of work.
In l.eaCc it gave Us plenty
But il We yield 10 Shylock now.
For one he'll ask rs twenty.
Rouse up, We sturdy sons of toll,
Come help TO fight he battle,
And when the victory Il won,
The silver sure will rattle
The eagle scared in q,
Too high for commentator
But congress quickly clipped his wings
And brought him to his station.
We neither sought for English aid
Nor foreign intervention;
To bow the nee 10 monarchy
Was none OF our intention.

{. W. Morn was here on FRIDAY with
his special car which remained for the
day on the track on the corner of Oaay
and Eighth streets. The car contains
specimens Of the products of all the
states traversed by the Northern Pacific
The arrangement is perfect and a visit 10
the ear Is, SO far as obtaining an idea of
the resources Of this section of the
country, almost as good as a visit TO these
states. Not only are the agricultural
and mineral products exhibited but the
different woods, tie animals and views
of the more stricking features of the
scenery. Panels of the ear are IN the
different woods of the several states,
Land Commissioner Phipps has conceived
the Idea OF using this car To show tho
resources of the country tributary to the

A Chip of the Old Block.

Children ale close imitators-sOme-
times too close; at least so thought a
rather eccentric Universalist clergyman
who made it n point to examine the
Sunday school library book brought
home occasionally from an orthodox
Sunday-school by his young son, the re-
suit of the examination one Sunday
being so unsatisfactory that in a fit OF
disgust he tore out an offensive page,
remarking:
TOO much eternal misery in that"
He was scarcely prepared, however,
to see the boy an hour or so later, Bible
In hand. tear out leaf after leaf, which
he complaccntly tossed into the fire with
the paternal quotation:
TOO much eternal misery in that"

THE LITTLE GIRL QUEEN.

Like other Young Ones.
A pretty little story about Wilhel-
nina, the girl queen of Holland, has
just found its way into the Dutch pa
pers. The queen is at present only four
teen years of age, and she is credited
with even a larger measure of caprice
and precoCity than IS usually granted
to less exalted young ladies at that in
teresting period of life. Her mother,
the queen regent. therefore, thinks 1t
well at times to deal somewhat severe
~ with Wilhelminas little ways. Late
ly the young queen, desiring to speak
to her mother knocked-not, perhaps,
in the most dignified fashion-at the
door of the room in which the queen
regent was engaged.

At this rebuff the little queen sudden

nina wins her way into the heart of

mind. She has not only transferred an
old soap-box into a very handsome
hanging bookcase but the other night.
when her new theater hat failed to ar

THE CHECK SYSTEM.
Merchandise Gradually Becoming the
Basis of Redemption.


Basis of Redemption.
The large use Of instruments Of
credit in wholesale trade, obviating 10y
so much the need Of actual currency.
has long been we'll known. What has
not been 50 well established Is the
growing extension Of the same system
to retail trade. Prof. David Kinley
publishes in the March Journal of Po-
litical Economy some inquiries directed
to this point, which yield most instruct
i've results. Through the comptroller
of the currency questions were sent to
National banks asking for the amounts
deposited on the nearest settling day
by retail grocers, butchers, ClOthcrS
furniture dealers, and fuel dealers
with kinds of money and checks and
other instruments Of credit specified
Replys were received from 2,465 banks
all over the country. and from the re-
turns a rough but sufficiently accurate
estimate can be made out showing the
part played by currency and credits
respectively in retail trade Prof. Kin
ley makes out a table covering all the
states and territories, and shows that
payments by check range from 81 per
cent of the total settlements in retail
trade In the north central states to 65
per cent IN the south central The bear
ing Of the investigation on present cur
rency discussions is thus stated by
Prof. Kinley:
while 1T is generally admitted that
the larger part Of wholesale business IS
done on credit. some have claimed that
only small portion of retail trade Is
SO conducted. The present investiga-
ton shows, however. that credit plays
an important role in retail payments:
its results are, therefore. on the whole.
in the line of former conclusions as TO
the Importance of credit instruments In
payments and exchanges generally"

Perhaps the strongest argument

the sparrow is quite prone 10 GUST the
