WAenINGToN, Jan. 28.--Controller
Eckels today gave his views upon the
financial condition Of the country t.
the House Committee on Banking
and Currency. Several bills had been
referred to Eckels for his judgment
and he analysed them. While there
was no doubt necessity tor changes
in the government financial system,
Eckels said, the public wac disposed
to attribute too much OF the existing
troubles to lack OF monetary legisla-
ton. Over trade, over production and
extravaganza in private and public
expenditures, partly induced by

speculation, were JaraeL responsible
for the country's business dimcuikies.
The day was passed when the volume
Of money was its most important
factor. Improved facilities for
transportation and methods Of eS-.
change had lessened the importance
OF large volume. Improved credit
was more essential. The first essential
was stability Of public credit. The
apparent reluctance of the people Of
the United States to redeem their
public obligations was the chief cause
Of distrust. The current redemption
Of the obligations Of the government
was the chief problem Of The treasury.
Funding and can collation. OF these
obligations go that maintenance Of the
gold reserve would no longer be
necessary was a most desirable policy,
but whether it was most practical was
another question. So far as con-
traction of the currency was concern
ed Eckels did not think it would fol-
low the gradual retirement Of green
backs provided the credit was reason
ably stable. The banks would supply
the needed currency or gold would
come from abroad. Pursuance OF
Secretary McCullough's policy would
have disposed of the question. Eckels
added: @The business man who COZ
stantly redeems his notes without
retiring them and keeps them out
constantly will come to a settling
day that will break him. The chief
feature of the banking bill would be
to take from the government the issue
of credit notes. Banks can d.. this"
Banks conducted ON practical bank
principles instead Of speculative en-
terprises, Eckels said, would satisfy
the currency needs of business. Be-
fore the war banks always furnished
sufficient gold for business.

A New Bear Story,

The San Francisco Call has told new
bear story Bear stories are always in order.
and as the one told by the Pacific coast con-
temporary is a good one it deserves, and
therefore receives, part Of the space we
alIot to our younger readers. The bear that
figures il the Calls story was known as Jack
and he belonged to Lewis Ford, who for
merly owned goat ranch high up on the
Cerro Colorado mountain, overlooking the
lovely valley of the San Joaquin.
Ford found the bear when it was a cub,
soft, round, shining and black. Being Wife
less, childless and alone he adopted the tiny
cub and carried it home, Once tAe:e Ford
soon found that a foster mother must be pro-
vided for the infant, and 50 a frightened,
trembling, bleating she goat was brought to
the house to take the place Of the parent he
so missed, 1t was only after much combined
force and persuasion the geat could be in
duced to adopt as her own the unkiduke Or
phen placed in her care. But the time came
when foster-moher and ioster-Chld were as
happy and content in their relations to each
other as if the sight of nimble-(ooted, blue
haired nanny" sucking clumsy black bear
cub was OF the most ordinary condition OF
affairs.
According to the Call the bear, which was
named Jack, waxed fat on goats milk; and
more dccile. tractable beast never grew up
under the guardianship Of humane and
loving master. In the earlier days OF his
adoption the baby was baby in truth. He
would not be left alone. And it would have
been harder heart thaa Ford's that could
have resisted the pitiful whimper Of the little
fellow whenever he thought that he was to be
left alone within thehouse. Had there been
any to see it in those days they would have
witnessed strange sight The great broad
shouldered man following his Rock as they
grazed on the chgrass-sometrne FIVE or
six miles from homeland as he walked the
steep mountain side where it was so almost
perpendicular that it seemed that only the
goats themselves could gain ioothold on
the rocks he carried the cub in his arms.
When la>k grew older he was trained to
herd the goats. Previously number OF dogs
had helped Ford, but the bear and the dogs
could not agree, and so the dogs had to go.
Jack took their place well and they were
never missed For sevsral"Ssars the bear

Sames Jones is an eccentric char
aGter Of Anderson. Ind, who is just
little light in his top fiat. He
wanted to build a stable for his
horse, but didn't have much idea of
how large to make it. He was GER
tain, however, that he didn't want
it bit larger than was necessary.
A brilliant idea struck him-that
is, brilliant for a man of his mental
standing-and he proceeded to put
it into effect. He drove a stake
into the ground about on the spot
where he wanted to build, and tied
the horse to It. Then he drove three
OUher stakes, one at each corner Of
the horse. Then he nailed the side
boards to the stakes, put a roof on
aud had stable which was warrant
ed to fit the horse, without being
too large. When he had it all fin
ished he started to take the horse
out, but found that he had not
5uilded wisely, in that he had made
no door. He knocked the boards
off one end Of the building and
made them into swinging door,
and then his stable suited hlm. As
for the horses probable opinion Of
that's another story.

In the Old Barn Loft.

IT'S thirty years, Or thereabouts,
Since 1 used to roll and play,
And turn all kinds o somersaults
On the fresh and fragrant hay
A-jumping and a-,umbling
On the hay so sweet and soft,
At my home away back yonder,
In The old barn loft.
How the pigeons used TO hutter,
And stlut about and COO.
And make love TO one another,
Like sweethearts used to do,
While walked the risky crossbeam,
Or Clamored high aloft,
In he twiitering Of the swallows,
In The old BAN loft.
How l used TO frighten sister,
Who was looking for the eggs,
As dangled there, head downward;
Holding by my little legs;
And, giving them swing or two,
Ia strike the hay so soft,
AT my home away back Yonder,
In the old barn loft,
The twittering of the swallows,
While making homes of mud;
The gleeful game of hide-and-seek,
The slip, the sudden thud;
The pattering of the rain drops
Above the hay SO soft,
Are memories still clinging
Ofthe old barn loft.

to kill IN each and every case where
robbery is clearly the intent of any
one who interferes with the run

ing Of shooting irons has been going
on for some time. The most i'm.
proved pattern Of repeating rifles
and riot guns have taken the place
Of arms of less deadly and rapid
execution. Cars are also being
built with an eye to more resistance
against the onslaught of tram rob
bers. Floors and sides are rein
