WHEN YOU, FALTER BY THE WAYSIDE
By G.. S. S.
When you falter by the wayside,
Weary of toll and care,
Believing your burden is greater
Than you can ever bear;
Pause and ask yourself the question,
Is it / and | alone
Left beside life's thorny pathway
Ny sad fate to bemoan?
Go with me to yonder city,
Where grim poverty is found;
While famine's wolf, devoid of pity
Lo oks eagerly around,
Searching for the weak and helpless,
From whom all strength has fed,
And have given up the struggle
In pursuit of daily bread. III
I'D T7
Go with me across the watere4
To " India's coral strand,
See mankind perishing from hunger
In that unhappy land.
Go with me the wide world DER,
Find SORROW everywhere; %
From the beggar's to the rich mans
door
All have their griefs to bear.
Then face your troubles bravely,
Have naught to do with fear;
If the way seems dark before you,
Let me give a word of cheer.
This life is not so very long,
There's better one in view;
When you falter by the wayside
Remember tits for you.

ladies of tho Baptist church last night
was very enjoyable affair. An alarm
of fire at the time when the evenings
entertainment was at its height caused
a falling off in attendance at the event.
The parlors of the church in which the
fair was held looked very pretty in
deed. The long counters filled with
dainty fancy work lured many a quar-
ter from the pockets of those in attend
ance. One of the special features fas
a doll counter, which proved to
be the main charm of the evening for
the little girls and boys.
The fish pond and the graphic

Capital Stock of State Banks.

The desire for a RETURN to a state cur
rency system, adapted to the needs of
ths several crops and localities of the
country recalls attention to the state
banking laws. 1t must be admitted at
the outset that there is not much uni
formity in those laws. Nor need there
be except perhaps in THE matt:r of capi-
tai stock. The foundation of bank is
its own capital. Around its capital as a
neuchIs deposits are gathered, and the
banks own capital should be equal to
the ordinary needs of its field. 1t should
bear a just relation to the population of
its territory and to anticipated deposits,
1t being a guarantee against loss to its
depositors. 1t is the corporation itself in
fact. The bank owns nothing but it's
capital and accumulated profits, and the
capital should therefore be ample.
The STATES differ very much in this re-
spect. In this state the capital stock of a
bank cannot be less than $4,000, one-flalf
of which must be paid in before business
ganized on capitals of $4,000, all of which
must be paid in. In Mississippi Tennes-
see and South Carolina there are no gen.
eral regulations, all depending upon the
charter of the particular bank. Texas
has no state banks.
If uniformity to a reasonable extent
in the paying-in of thu capital stock of
state banks could be had confidence in
them would be largely increased. For the
capital stock eff a bank is the measure of
ats solvency and safety as a rule at all
times and in all respects. Deposits are
liabilities Deposits may enable a bank
to accumulate profits. but that is a slow
process; and behind the deposits there
should always be a due and proper pro-
portion of capital stock.

WIND MILLS.
A Greet Multitude of Things That the Wind
Will Do.

From the Youths Companion.
The first barley mill was introduced into
Scotland from Holland by an ingenious me-
chanic named Andrew Meikle. But 1t
was many years before the invention came
into general use, owing chiefly to the SUI
perstitutious prejudice of the country folk
who looked upon the grain thus cleaned
with suspicion, as procured by "artificially
created wind" The clergy even argued
that winds were raised by God alone, and
that 1t was irreligious in man to attempt
to raise the wind by his own efforts"
Scott is evidently expressing the popular
sentiment when in "Old Mortality" he
makes one of his characters chide those
who would raise wind "by human art, in
stead of soliciting it by prayer, or waiting
patiently for whatever dispensation of
wind Providence was pleased to send upon
the shealins HILL"
Stories are still told in the neighborhood
where Meikle lived, of the labor-saving
contrivances he adopted in his own house
hold. One day woman came to the mill
to get some barley ground and was asked
to sit down In the cottage, hard by, till it
was ready. With the first sound of the
mill wheels, the cradle and the churn at
her side began to rock and to churn, as if
influenced by some supernatural agency.
No one but herself was in the house, and
she rushed from it, frightened almost out
of her wits
Such incidents brought an ill-name on
Meikle, and the neighbors declared of him
that he was mo canny'
He was often summoned to great dis
tances, for the purpose of repairing pumps
or setting mills to rights. On one occa-
sion when he undertook to supply gentle
mans house with water, many country
mechanics had tried it before and failed
that the butler would not believe Meikle
when he told him to get everything ready,
as the water would be sent in the next
day.
''It will be time enough to get ready"
said the incredulous butler, when we see
the water"
Meikle pocbeted the affront, but set his
machinery to work early the next morn
ing; and so well did the engineer fulfill his
promise that when the butler got out of
bed he found himself up to his knees in
water
Mekle reaped no financial reward from
his invention; his name is scarcely men,
toned in Scotch biography; yet the state
ment on the monument erected to his men,
DRY is literally true: "FIe rendered to the
agriculturists of Britain and of other ma
tions a more beneficial service than any
hitherto recorded in the annals of ancient
or modern science"

THEIR NOSES WON THE SUIT.
Heirs to $4,000 Estate Identified by Their
Physiognomy.
From the New York journal.

From the New York Journal.
The heirs to a large estate left by an
uncle who died intestate, Nettie E. V. Pea
body and Geo. r. L. Kipp, of California,
have thought themselves powerless for a
long time to establish their Identity. For
years the brother and sister have fought
for their share in the estate of their uncle,
Andrew Kfpp, of Saugerties, N. Y, worth
to them about $50 900. Having no papers
of their father, James Brown Kipp, the
task of establishing their identity was no
easy one. But finally they conquered,
having conclusively proved their identity
by means OF the peculiar shape of their
noses such noses being striking charac-
teristic of their fathers family Today,
Former Senator Linson. of Kingston NJ
Y, as referee, decided the famous Kipp
case, celebrated throughout Ulster county,
in favor of the California claimants.
When Andrew Kipp died, his brother,
William e. Kipp, claimed to be the only
heir. He was appointed administrator of
the estate. Then the California claimants
put in an appearance and demanded their
rfghtful share. James Brown Kipp, their
father, was dead He was murdered in
Los Angeles, Cal, in 1886. by a drunken
husband while he was endeavoring to pro-
tect the wife.
James Brown Kipp, when a boy, ran
away from his home in Saugerties, N. Y,
because of an undeserved thrashing that
his father administered to him for break
ing jug containing rum, which his broth
er William had broken. He was never
heard from until his children appeared to
claim share of their uncle's estate.
The children had photographs of their
father, however, and in each photograph
the enormous and queerly shaped nose
stood out in bold relief. The son, George
F. L. Kipp, had a nose almost exactly like
that of his father, and no one who looked
first at the photograph of the dead man
and then gazed at the living son could for
moment doubt the striking resemblance
Some lines of writing in the Kanaka
language written by the late James Brown
Kipp on the fly leaf of an old Bible, also
figured in court. as a means of identifying
the dead mans handwriting Though the
Bible was sent all over the country and
submitted to many learned men, 1t was
found impossible to find any one who could
decipher the writing and correctly inter-
pref 1t.
