Heavy Withdrawals at New York,
Chicago and st. Louis.


Chicago, Nov. 2.-Eighty thousand dol
lars was to-day withdrawn from the sub
treasury on legal tenders of the 1890 issues
and later on gold certificates, the with
drawais were on amounts ranging from
$50 to $1,000 and were solely for boarding.
People stood in line throughout the day,
but many had currency of issues not re-
deemable at this branch. Within the past
three months about $l5O0,OOO has been
withdrawn from the Chicago sub-treas-
ury, but the daily Withdrawals were small,
until SATURDAY, when $4,000 was taken.
st. Louis, Nov. 2-Over 100000 gold
nearly all in $40 pieces, was withdrawn
from the United States subtreasury here
to-day This is three times the usual
withdrawal. There was delivered to-day
to the Mississippi Valley Trust Company
100000 in silver bullion, consigned to a
syndicate of local capitalists The bullion
comes from Argentina, Kan, and is the
product of American and Mexican mines

Southoy.

1t is curious fact that Southey holds
no place in the hearts OF present lovers of
poetry, yet in, his lifetime no one was
more honored than he 1t may be that
his personality rather than his poems at
tracted the admiration OF his contempt
raries. Now no one knows him.
Let me try TO picture Southey as he sat
In my mothers drawing room. l do not
remember that his features were particu-
larly striking, and he was not tall or of
the stately presence which characterized
his brother, DIR. II. III. Southey, but his
eyes A dark and liquid brown, SO full
of love, when he was silent and calm, that
you thought perchance nothing but love
was there, but when he spoke the liquid
brown was fire, yet fire made Of roses, and
the beam that darted from his eyes seemed
to reach far into the room. Again say,
would that l could remember the words
he spoke, but l was child, and a very
young one.
In those days children were little no.
ticed. / was one of large family, SO
that, although i suppose my hero had to
shake hands with me when first he entered
the room, that would be all the notice l
ever expected from him. / merely sat
where could see him and worship to my
hearts content the being who hrst woke
in my infant mind the love Of poetry, for,
greatly as delighted in the story Of his
POEMS what touched my heart was the
feeling which was clothed In those magical
words, the everlasting truth which, wrap
ped as IL was in tales Of oriental supersti-
ton, could yet find its way In perfect
purity to the heart Of child.-Temple

"a Star Out Of Jacob"

In the time of the reign of Hadrian,
about A. ID. 1870, a jew appeared among
the people of Palestine claiming to be a
messiah-the "star out OF Jacob"-which
Balaam predicted in his prophecy. (See
Numbers xiv, ~ This Jewish messiah's
name was Simeon Bar-Cocheba, which
latter name in the Hebrew language
means "son Of star" This individual
who so blatantly proclaimed himself to be
of divine origin took Jerusalem by storm
"a. ID. 1922 and actually commenced the
rebuilding of the temple. He took the
government in hand and issued coins and
performed many other public offices. One
of these coins, now in the British muse
um, has an enlarged star upon one side
and upon the other Hebrew legend mean
ing 1.-THE Deliverer Of Jerusalem" The
Jews, it Is said, lost 800, 600 men defend
ing this messiah at the time when the
Roman government attempted to put
down the popular delusion. In Roman
history Bar Cocheba is known AS "Coziba
of Barchocheba. The enemies of the
"son of star" changed his name to Bar
Cozeba," which in the Hebrew means
'son of a lie. st. Louis Republic.

Je~Fsas,n's HARD LUCK STORY.
YAH. Efforts to Start Young Man ON the
Road tn Fortune.

Thomas jefferson can tell more hard
luck stories in given length Of time than
even Job ever dreamed of. He met Peter
J.. DALEY, the actor, at the Bowdoin
SQUARE theater, ono afternoon, with this
result, as given in the Boston Herald:
"Say. Pete, asked Mr.. jefferson SADLY.
"haye you any near and dear relatiyesY"
"a few" answered bailey dreamily as
he accepted "A cigar which Mr. Jefferson
thoughtlessly offered him.
"Well, | have" said jefferson, "and

of except his cheek, and that would stop a

1.-THE last time he got into me was this
way: He came to me In the summer and
said if l would advance him 81. 90 he could

''He went to farmer near where we
lived and actually induced the innocent
old Jerseyman to paint his barn with tar
and then set it afire, just to show how
easy it could be put out with couple Of
hand grenades.
"A big crowd was on hand to see the
fun. The saturated barn was set on fire.
Then my esteemed relative who suspect,
had drunk the contents Of one of the gre
nades, as he had only IL and was little
wabbly In his knees, gathered up an arm
full of the extinguishers and started boldly
for the fire. Eleven times he took shot
at that barn with hand grenade, but
there must have been something wrong
with him, for he couldn't hit the barn.

The Cooks Mistake.

A Prairie avenue capitalist who gained
the larger part of his wealth in the saw
mill and numbering industry in northern
Wisconsin, is noted for the vigilance with
which he watches the small details of his
big business. As an example of this char
acteristic a story is told of a tour of in
spection made by him to his logging
camps in the pine woods
On this trip the Chicago lumberman
was grieved to notice that some of his
toamstors used too many oats in feeding
their horses, and was shocked by few
other evidences of petty extravaganza, but
what panied him most was the amount of
provisions consumed at the camp. He be-
lieved that this was due TO the wastefnl-
ness Of the cooks, though such waste is
difficult to detect. But the Chicago man
soon hit upon an ingenious detective
scheme by which he was able to tell wheth-
or or not the cooks were economical in the
use Of supplies.
At all the camps a pig was kept and
fed on the scraps from the woodsmen's ia
bles After visit to the pigpen he ap-
preached the cook with friendly smile
and remarked
"Ah, Antoine that's fine, fat pig you
have there Couldn't you just as we'll feed
another2"
AS Antoine was wise he replied:
mo We can't keep more than one.
We haven't enough scraps ="
AT the next camp the same question was
asked the unsuspecting Peter, and he
promptly replied
why, yesl We could feed another pig
just rs well as not. Send us one.
Then the lumberman found the camp
foreman and said: 90 Brien, you will
have to discharge that cook Of yours. He
can feed too many pigs. Chicago Chron

BADGER STATE FURS.
Some ~ the Varieties OF Pelts Secured by
Trappers I'm Wisconsin,.

Am erican trappers said that the gray
wolves of upper Wisconsin were the lar
gest In the United States They drove the
deer good deal. A pack Of seven wolves
had ~ ice crossed their lines that winter
and hey had poison out for them Wolves
swept across ~ great deal of countryside,
40, 80 miles or more-and did not remain
local The lynx also travelled great deal
A lynx usually came around again In
about seven days and the wolves once In
two OF TIRES weeks though not so regu-
larry a. the lynx. The otter also travelled
a great deal, but was irregular 1t would
sometimes leave the water courses and
travel miles across dry divides To entirely
new country The best place to trap mar
tens was along tho high ridges between
waterways. and that was best also for
fishers They often caught fishers, but
never a wolverine
American trappers rated the fox the
hardest animal To trap, the wolf next, and
the otter third To catch fox they often
made bed of ehaff and got him to lying
In IL or fooling around IL, the trap being
set under the chat Or trap was set at
place where several foxes seemed to stop
for certain purpose Or q fox could be
caught sometimes by putting bait lit
tie way out in the water and then putting
pad of moss between the bait and the
shore with the trap hid under the moss.
The fox. not liking TO wet his feet, would
step on the moss.
For wolves the usual way was to put
out poison (strychnine) Often they would
not touch the poisoned meat. For offers IL
was necessary to use great care not leaving
any chips or litter around Our trappers
usually caught them either on slide or
at place whore they came out Of the
water, not where they went in, as the otter
slides with his feet doubled under and
would be apt to spring the trap with his
body. 1t was good way to drop a stick
or limb on the side of the slide, cutting IL
down and letting it fall naturally. so that
the otter could not escape the trap so cas-
lily. The trap should never be set in the
middle of the slide, but at one side, as the
otter's feet are So wide apart and he would
not be caught should he spring the trap
with his body.
For offers and beavers, If they were trap
ped near deep wator, a sliding pole was
usually used, arranged with the small end
stuck down into the deep water The ami
NAL when trapped plunges into the water,
and the ring of the trap chain slips down
along the pole. The little stubs of the
trimmed off boughs prevent the ring from
slipping back up again and the animal is
drowned. An otter should not be left in
the water over nine days or the fur will
slip. A few days make no difference. All
traps should be visited about once in six
or eight days.-Forest and Stream.

asked him If he wished to take chloroform

MacFarland deliberately thrust his hand
into his pockets and began to count his

OF all the sons of rich men In this coun-
try none was more ingeniously indiffer-

his fathers wealth placed him than Will
liam III. Vanderbilt, the young son of Cor

Vanderbilt prepared for Yale at St.
Paul's school, Concord, N. H., and in his
fifth form year he was elected captain of
the Shattuck crew. He trained faithfully
for the race, in fact, was too conscientious,
and few weeks before the contest he be-
came decidedly "off COLOR physically.
"Now, tell you what you want to do, F"
