SOMETHING ABOUT BANKS.

Banks are absolutely necessary to the
success of modern commercial enter
prises. They provide place for the safe
keeping of money and securities, and
they make the payment OF bills much
more convenient than if currency instead
of checks were the more largely used,
But the great advantage of banking IN
stitution to business man is the oppor-
tunity it affords him of borrowing
money, of securing the cash for the
carrying on of his business, While his own
capital is locked up in merchandise or III
the hands of his debtors. Another and
important advantage is to be found In
the facilities afforded by banks for the
collection of checks, notes, and drafts,
and It is true that more than ninety per
cent, of the cash circulation of the
country is represented by checks, ETC.,
and not by actual money.
The antiquity of banks is very great
In the Metropolitan Museum Of Art, in
New York, are Babylonian tablets bearing
distinct records of transaction in banking
that took place in the reign of Nebuchad-
nezzar. The origin Of modern banking
NAV be traced to the money dealers OF
Florence. who were in high repute as re-
ceiyers and lenders of money IN the

cut off his head, which he held up to
show that the fight was ended.
As no more Turks wished to meet SO
dangerous foe, Smith was now led by
his friends in triumph back to the gem
erals tent. There he was received with
great favor. The general gave him fine
horse and a sword, and made him an
officer in the army; and the Grand-duke
Sigismund, who was carrying on the war,
sent him his portrait in a golden frame
He also promised Smit h a reward of three
hundred ducats, or about two thousand
dollars year, and told him that he
might wear on his ''coat of arms" as it
WAS called, three Turks heads, in mem
DRY of his brave acts.
John Smith was now a distinguished
soldier, but he was soon to find that war
is not entirely made up of brave deeds
and rich rewards. a day came when ILL
fortune befel him. At the battle of Rot
tenton the Christian were beaten, and
John Smith WAS wounded and left on
the field He lay there until night, W hen
some thieves, who had come to rob he
dead bodies of whatever they could find
upon them, heard him grooming from the
pain of his wound, and stopped. He had
on very rich suit of armor, and from
this they supposed that ne was some
great lord Hence they did not kill him,
but resolved to carry him away and keep
him prisoner until he paid large price
for his freedom.

Running q Town by Electricity.

The electric-storage battery, in whose
development lies the hope Of emancipa-
tion from electric light wires, trolley wires
and other unsightly distractions, has
reached point of perfection, as shown
by an exhibit in Philadelphia, which
makes it a commercial possibility and
promises large extension Of the use
fulness Of electricity in everyday life
With further development in the direc-
tion of cheapness, it may be possible to
reproduce, in towns unprovided with
cheap means Of motive power, the
conditions existing in Great Falls, Mont.
In that town electric power produced
economically at q water privilege does
all the mechanical work. 1t propels,
lights and heats the street cars, runs the
elevators, the printing presses, the cranes
and kinds Of machinery, and is used for
for pumping, for excavating and for rock
crushing. 1t is even applied in the build
ing trades, it not being unusual to see
on the streets a mortar-mixer attached
to an electric wire leading down from q
pole. The restaurants cook by electricity;
the butcher employs it to chop his
sausages, and the grocer to grind his
coffee. The housewives run their sew
ing machines and heat their fat-irons by
electricity; they bake their cakes in
electric cake-ovens that can be set away
on the shelf like pasteboard boxes. They
have electric boilers, broilers and tea
kettles.-NeoO York Post.

tenn is to be found in the very large
increase which takes place every year in
the number of persons who desire to
obtain the control Of State children, and
the Illustration is the more gratifying
when it is remembered that the applica-
tions are unsolicited in any way, and
come from all parts of the country.
Many of the boys are taken by farmers,
but almost every leading industry and
profession in the colony is represented in
the list Of guardians. The average cost
of each child to the State is e13 lbs I'd
per annum. AS the children grow up
they are apprenticed to useful trades,
the money paid for their services being
placed to their individual credit in the
government savings bank. Under the
firm and'energetic administration Of the
board the system has been success from
the very first, and is doing much to pre-
vent the introduction Of the hereditary
pauper element among the New South
Wales population. Where practicable,
the parents are compelled to contribute
to the support OF their offspring, and it
is encouraging to note that, while in
stances of misconduct on the part Of
guardians or wrongful conduct on the
part of the children are comparatively
few, the number of boys and girls who
are rapidly becoming good and useful
members of society is large, and steadily
on the increase. Australian Letter.

City on January 8, 1896, at which every
county and reservation in the Territory
will be represented, to start a movement
to secure Oklahoms's admission to State
hood at the earliest possible day Okla
homa's claims for the desired honor are
certainly strong. Neither statute nor
custom prescribes any fixed population
for Territory as q condition precedent
for admission to Statehood. Nevada, for
example, had only about 20O00or $4,000
when erected into State in 1864, while
South Dakota, at it's admission in 1889,
had over 100000 Oklahoma has, accord
ing to the estimate Of it's Governor, made
in his recent annual report, 275,000 In,
habitants. 1t has larger population
than Utah, which is about to take its
place among the States. 1t also leads in
this respect the States Of Idaho, Della
ware, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota
and Wyoming. Oklahoma has more in
habitants already than any other Terri
tory except South Dakota had when
erected into State.
Exciting and historic contests were
caused by the admission Of several Of the
States. In 1911, in the debate on the
measure for the admission OF Louisiana,
Josiah Quincy, of Massachusetts,, said
in the House of Representatives: "It is
my deliberate opinion that if this bill
passes the bonds of the Union are vir-
tually dissolved" etc. This was the
first formal threat Of secession ever
made In Congress. When, at the be-
ginning Of the long fight, in 1919, for the
admission of Missouri, James Tallmadge,
Of New York, proposed the amendment
excluding slavery from the proposed
State, the first skirmish took place lead
ing to the civil war of 1865. The ad-
mission (annexation) Of Texas in 1845,
the only independent nation ever in
corporated into the union, precipitated
the war with Mexico, immensely enlarged
the area Of the United States, and for
the immediate future opened Pan
dora's box Of ills for the country. When
California, which, like Texas, had never
been Territory, was admitted as q
free State in 1850, the old balance in the
Senate between the slave and free re-
gions was broken, never to be restored.
The struggle between slavery and free
dom for the possession of Kansas Terri
tory was the prelude to the civil war,
But nosuch contest will be precipitated
over the question of Oklahoma's admis-
sion to Statehood. After the creation Of
six new States in 1889 and 1890 there was
talk about the advisability Of passing
law establishing population line equal
to the unit Of representation in Congress
in State as requirement fora Terri
tory before attaining the rank Of State
hood. Even if such law we're passed,
however, it would not exclude Oklahoma,
for the unit is 174, 900, which is not much
more than half Of that Territory's esti-
mated population. 1t is figured by the
Governor that the growth in inhabitants
in year has been over $4,000. The
growth in property and business has
been even at far higher ratio. Accord
ing to the Governors report, the taxable

HE INCoME TAX DECISION

It bas says a recent Washington letter been difficult to collect money fran the government ever since the present ed- ministration came into power, and it is going to be more difficult tran ever. It has been the policy cf the treasury to raise all sorts of obstacles to defer pay ment on government vouchers of all sorts. l. was this policy that caused Senator German to say on the floor of the eenate that if all proper demands or the government wers paid there would be dificit of not less than S100000, coo. At 8 cabinet meeting held after the decision of the supreme court, in the income tax eases, was fully digested it was decided that the calling Of an extra session of congress should be avoided, if possible; and the possibility Of keeping money in the treasury by delaying payments upon appropriations made by congress was considered. It IS not certain even then that congress will not have to be called together.
 That the exemption of incumes from rents and state and municipal bonds will cut off at least one hGli of the ] Q mount that would have been received from the income tax is admitted by verybody whs knows aDylhi1C about the subject And not few believe thai the advice of eminent lawyeTe, based upon the failure of the supreme court to declare the law either constitutional or unconstitutional, will result jn the fail ure Of thousands to pay tie taz. Men who were loud ia their praises Of the tax are now bitterly opposed to it, be- cause of the exemptions made by the court. They say that these exemptions ] will defeat the principal object of those who advocated an income tax the con- pelling of alien landlords to bear Q fair share in supporting the government and throw the principal burden of the tax upon business men, manufacturers and other large employers of labor, and their argument appears to be a good one.
 The charge, openly made in Washing ton, that two Of the four justices of the supreme court who voted to sustain the constitutionality of the income tax did ! 50 on legal technicality and that in ] the absence of that technica'ity tle vote would have etood to ? against the con- stitutiouality of the entire lar, instead of the clauses exempted, is rot calculat- ed to add to the popUlarity of the law, nor to the willingness of anybody to pay the tax.

Rotten "Vigas" Collapse.

One of the inteTicr rooms of the O. K . Restaurant on Church Plaza was badly wrecked this morning by the falling in Of half the roof. The room had been used as a living room for the inmates of the restaurant, and of these two were fourd taking rest et tbe time of the accident.
 Tung Fat has a bad cut on his skull and the other, Low Fue, was found in the debris with some of the beams rest ing on hls body, and is internally hurt. How badly they are damaged has yet to be seen, as the wild and volumenous explan ations of the excited surviving MongOlians conld not be made out by the reporter.
 The beams appear routed where they rest on the walls and just fell down by the superabundanc of dirt accumulat- ed by years of successive applications of more mud to stop the yearly leaks. A hurried inspection through the laby- rynth of passages and rooms with their weather beaten walls was not assuring to prolong the intervlewers' stay and rush was made for the sRnctum to re- port.
