Bank Examiner Undertake is at his
desk at the State House, this week,
during the vacation of Assistant w. G.
Ellis. Mr.. Undertake recently mailed
a letter to the savings institution of
the State, regarding the matter of the
new revenue law, in the manner in
which it affects the savings banks Of
the State.
He has as yet received no notice
from the department except a brief
dispatch regarding the law
The savings banks are not taxed
directly under the law, as they already
have about all the taxes that they can
stand, but indirectly the law affects
them, as all the checks that they draw,
as well as all the forms of legal paper
that they have to issue, must be
stamped.
An order from one of the depositors
must be stamped as all checks are.
Mr.. Timberlale expects to receive
the points on the law in full in a very
short time.

She was walking on State street, one
day recently and as the sidewalks are
torn up badly, she and her cousin
were obliged to walk in the street.

track and curious!y looked at the

What are these for?" she asked.
They are the sleepers,' answered
the lady.
Are they what the cars lie on?'
asked the bright child.

calling at the house where the little

Upon receiving an answer in tn"
affirmative, Gladys remarked that she
should not have thought the little girl

Glance at Klondyke Chances.

After all the wild tales about the un'
paralleled richness of the Klondyke
gold fields and the Monte Cristo treas.
ures alleged to have been brought back
by lucky adventurers, it is rather
startling to take up the report of DR..
Dawson, chief of the Canadian geologi-
cal survey, and find that he puts the
total output of gold of the whole Klon-
dyke region last year at but 50, 800, 900.
This was about eight times the output
in 1896, and ten times that of 1895,
DR.. Dawson says. This is a mere trife
beside the records California has made
every year since 1849, to say nothing
at all about Colorado. which last year
outdid California's best record, the out
put being over $23, 900, 900.
It is estimated that 100000 gold
hunters have hurried Klondykeward to
join in the treasure-digging. This es.
innate is probably low one, too. At
the most conservative calculation these
