diana says: "The people of this com.
munity had been led by newspaper an.

the promises which had boon made full
filled to the letter but the patrons Of the
show were shown, hundreds of features
not down on the bills"

tim is in their clutches, they try to
keep him there, and when the first
mortgage runs out threaten to fore
close and sell the security at sacri-
fee, unless liberal renewal fee is
paid. Cases are known where in an
instance Of this kind a borrower was
frightened and forced into paying
what amounted to 38 per cent. month.
When the shylock finds his customer
behind in his interest, he gives no
warning of his intentions. He sends
trusty but INSCRIPTIONS employees,
who seize the furniture, if such is the
security, hurry it away into hiding,
and when the owner has managed to
obtain the money to redeem it, he is
either told that it has been sold ac-
cording to law to satisfy the mort
gage, or is compelled to settle on a
basis of foreclosure charges, moving
charges, storage charges, custodian's
charges, release charges, until re-
view of the cost Of the entire trans
actions shows that he has very nearly
paid cent for cent for the use Of his
money for less than a year.

rightly called ''the father Of free coin
age"
Bland was born on Kentucky farm
in 1885. His father died when he was
z, his mother a few years later, but
the boy, dependent on his own re-
sources, worked his way through
school. He managed to get an academic
training and then taught school in Ken
lucky and Missouri. In 1855 he went to
California and spent ten years teaching
school, studying law, practicing law
and fighting Indians. In 1865 he re-
turned to Missouri and in 1868 settled
on farm at Lebanon, his present
home In 1872 he was elected to Con-
gress and served continuously until the
close of the Fifty-third Congress, when,
having been defeated in the landslide Of
1894, he retired to his farm.

Useful Balloon.

Certain wild animals can be trained
to act very intelligently as servants of
man, and even to exceed the dog in
power of thought and action. LIE Vail
liant, the African traveller, says that
he had tame baboon which was not
only sentinel, but hunter and purveyor
of food and water. This monkey, by
sheer force of brains, took command
of the dogs which protected the camp,
and used and directed them just as the
older balloons command and direct the
rest of the tribe.
By his cries, says LIE Valiant, he al
ways warned us of the approach Of an
enemy before even the dogs discovered
it. They were so accustomed to his
voice that they used to go to sleep, and
at first I was vexed with them for de-
sorting their duties; but when he had
once given the alarm, they would all
stop to watch for his signal, and on the
least motion of his eye, or the shaking
of his head, have seen them rush to-
ward the quarter where his looks were
directed.
| often carried him on my hunting
expeditions, during which he would
amuse himself by climbing trees, in or
der to aid us in the pursuit of game.
When he was thirsty he used to hunt
about and discover some succulent
tuber which was as effectual, under the
circumstances, as watermelon. One
\ might say that he was not more clever
than a truffle-dog; but though the dog
can find a root he cannot dig it up.
The balloon did both, having the adj
vantage of hands; though he used
these, not to extract the root, but to
adjust his weight so as to use the lever
age of his teeth to the best advantage.
He laid hold of the tuft of leaves
with his teeth, pressed his four paws
on the earth, on all sides of it, and then
drew his head slowly back. The root
generally followed.
If this plan did not succeed, he seized
the root as low down as he could, and
then throwing his heels over his head,
turned a back sopersault and came up
smiling with the root in his mouth. 1t
was easy to teach him that it was a
part of his business to find these roots,
and that his master must Ego shares"

QUEEREST OF HAILsToNEs.
Phenomenal Showers that Have Fallen

Phenomenal Showers that Have Fallen
in Parts of the Country.
Humboldt, the great scientist and an
undisputed authority on atmospheric as
well as other natural phenomena, tells
of q hailstorm which passed over Tus-
cany on March IA, 1913, every Ice gioDule
of the entire fall being OF beautiful
orange color. Five years prior to that
extraordinary event, Carniola, Germany,
was treated to a fall of five feet Of blood
red snow This was followed by fall
of blue hail, which is said to have Civ

Red hailstones fell in Amsterdam in
1926, at London in 1868 during the
time of the great plague), and at divers
places in Ireland and France during the
early part of the present century.
In 1923 a monstrous hailstOne fell at
Munson, Mass. 1t is described in the
Waltham Register OF July 10 OF that

long, three feet wide and two feet thick.
After the rough part of the body had
been removed there remained clear,
solid block of ice two feet three inches
long, one foot and six inches wide and
one foot and three inches thick"
The most extraordinary hailstone of
history, as far as the queer shape of the
hailStOneS were concerned, was that
which occurred on the Wadi Oasis, in the
desert of Sahara in 1851. The individual
ice chunks were of all imaginable forms.
There were wheels with four six and
eight spolzes, dumb bells large and small,
triangles, cylinders, both solid and hol-
low, some of the solid ones being as much
as six inches in length and not larger in
diameter than a lead pencil The COM

an account was published Of the COM
mitment Of a young man to an insane
asylum. Friends and relatives of the
poor unfortunate did not hesitate to
assert that his mind had become I'M
balanced owing to his inability to meet
certain obligations due as interest on
borrowed money at the ruinous rate
Of per cent. per month.
When a customer approaches one
of the shylocks, he is made to feel
that money is scarce, that it is no ia
vor to loan it even at exorbitant in
terest, and the money lender invari-
ably shrugs his shoulder obviously,
even if the security offered is unques-
tionable Should the applicant want
500 on household furniture the same
must have cost at least five times the
amount desired. He must execute a
cut-throat chattel mortgage upon it,
signed by his wife as well as himself;
he must insure it for half it's value
and transfer the policy to the lender,
and the mortgage is so drawn that
the mortgage practically owns the Sc
curity, and can take possession of it,
if the borrower fails to pay interest
or principal to the minute agreed upon.
The usual charge advertised is s215
per cent. month. When the appli-
cant comes to the point, he is inform
ed that "this especial money belongs
to a Client" who insists on double
that amount. Then the loaner must
make his commission-there is, besides
the insurance charges, fee for draw
ing up the mortgage, further fee
for recording it, and this amount, to-
gether with the first months interest,
is deducted from the gross sum. The
borrower receives generally about
ninety dollars, and is lucky if by some
hocus-pocus he has not been persuad-
ed to pay an average Of Z or 8 per
cent. for the ensuing six months.
These money sharks loan on all kinds
of personal property. Occasionally
they cash an exceedingly we'll Endorsed
note-oftener they loan on watches,
diamonds, silverware. If money is adj
vanced on a piano alone, they demand
possession, and here comes in their

Haste Wastes mime.

A gentleman who had an impeachment
in his speech was dining in restau-
rant, and was being served-a great
favor-by the proprietor of the estab-
lishment. This man was a bustling.
nervous person, with an exaggerated
opinion of the value Of his time.
Soup was served. The guest waited
a moment, and at the first opportunity,
began to say to the restaurant-keeper
81 c-c-c-an't e-e-e-ea-"
''Well, what is it, sir?" asked the
restaurant-keeper, impatiently.
81 c-c-an't eat my soup"
The man snatched up the plate of
soup and was off after another, which
in due time he brought; but again the
guest began to murmur:
II c-c-c-an't eat my SOUP
'Well, pray" asked the restaurant
keeper, "what may be the matter with
this soup, that you are unable to eat
it?R

To all upon whom the disagreeable
necessity, for some reason or other,
has devolved, a day among the Shy
locks of Chicago will be no novelty,
and they never forget the ordeal that
is undergone.
To sit in a well-appointed office, the
furnishings of which bespeak opu-

hardened to withstand the distress of
others, who steel themselves against
any feeling OF pity that might come
upon them, and calmly-one almost
might say cruelly-state in sharp yet
polite terms their rates for the use
of their gold, is an experience few peo-
