The case against c, E. Thum, re-
ceiver Of the bank of G. Bunting &
Co, has been decided by the Su-
preme Court in favor Of the State.
When the bank failed the State had
on general deposit Sill, 1O1. Before
the failure, G. Bunting, State treas
urer, turned the money over to his
successor by means of check. A
law of the State provides that no
public moneys can be placed on
general deposit, and must always
be considered, no matter how de-
posted, as special deposits, and
that bankers who commingle such
funds with the banks assets COM
init a felony.

Best Seeds Absolutely Necessary.

We cannot too rongly nor too often
arge the supreme importance Of plant
ing seeds that are perfectly pure and
fresh. Seeds that are offered at cheap
prices are almost invariably of doubt
full origin and uncertain age, sure TO
cause the planter disappointment and
loss. The thoughtful planters only
surety lies in buying seeds sent out by
u cons 'ientious and trustworthy house.
A vast number Of American gardeners
have, and have had for years, the ut
most confidence in seeds that bear the
name, ID. NJ. Ferry & Co, Detroit,
Mich. The present generation OF
planters can hardly remember the
time when Ferry's Seeds were not on
sale everywhere each year and as reg
ularly planted by thousands-with the
greatest faith in the integrity of the
firm that grew them. Every planter,
whether already buyer OF FerEy's
Seeds or not, should send for FerIy's
Seed Annual for 1899. 1t is mailed
free to anyone who writes for it.

BERTHA ON THE PERCH.
lately given the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies an unlim-
tied amount Of trouble in a most
unique and peculiar way. Bertha's
daily duty was to herd and watch a
large drove of cattle, whose range WAS
near the Western Union and Postal
lines. For some time past at irregular
intervals during almost every day
these lines absolutely failed to work,
and the trouble seemed to be some
where in the vicinity of where this
girl ranged her fathers cattle, hut try
as the line repairers would, II could
not be definitely located. Finally II
was discovered that Bertha, In order
to get better view of the herd, had
driven railroad spikes into a telegraph
pole so that she could climb II, and
that she would. whenever she got
weary watching the cattle from the
ground, climb the pole, pull up board
by means of a cord, place it across
the wires, seat herself on the board
and spend an hour or two watching
the herd from her uniquely improvised
elevated station. Whenever the board
happened to be damp or wet. and this
frequent rains this year have kept the
board wet most of the time, 1t de-
stroyed the electric current and prac-
tically cut OF all telegraphic commu-
nications between Denver and Kansas
City.
When discovered and informed Of
the damage she was doing to the bus
mess OF the telegraph lines, Bertha
was greatly surprised and was appar-
emily utterly ignorant of the fact that
her seat on the wires interefered in the
slightest degree with the working of
the lines.

"Dars to Do Right. Dare to BE True.


Dear Boys and Girls: l want to talk
to you about the pleasure OF giving.
It Is a text from which endless SER
mons might be preached, but they
would not appeal to me as strongly as
did the letter we had last week from a
little girl in Kansas who picks toma-
toes to earn money and always gives
the tenth.
What a story Of self-denial may be
back OF that simple statement, for
when one earns only a small sum 1t
is not easy to always be willing to give
a tenth Of 1t away; but what pleasure
1t Is, after the gift is madeI The hab-
1t Of giving needs careful cultivation,
and It's fruits are thoughtful, unselfish
character. All children do not have
opportunity to earn and give money,
no matter how willing they may be,
but there are many other ways of be-
ing generous. Give father and mother
cheerful obedience. and help in every
way; give courtesy to the brothers and
sisters, as well as to the occasional
guest, and give patience and love to the
little ones who demand attention when
you want to go out to play. Write and
tell me some OF the ways in which you
are giving" Of your very best Low
ingly yours, Aunt Mary.
