That evening he walked over to the

eye also.
"Good-evening," said Davenport. 'T

''You would like to have me stop play

that it? I'm glad you did call, and I
shall be glad to crafty you if we can

on it; but I've quit demonstrating with

rule in that respect. Until you came to
trouble me thought that had escaped

people not needing bells to let them

that he was an old-fashioned man and
not addicted to the higher criticism

Then Davenport sought out suburb
where the boom had expired, and bur-
dock, tall grass and sunflowers ran
riot between long lines of rusted street
lamps and pushed their way through
the zigzag crevices in the cement side
walk. The real estate agent, who sat

soon get one, for there were several
members of his denomination scattered

was no house with the exception of

ONLY A BLOW FROM A GUN.
But the Rough Rider Who Received
1t Thought He'd Been Hit
by Bullet.

How it feels to be shot dead is the
subject of some rather curious OBJ
servations on the part of a trooper of
Roosevelt's regiment. This particu-
lar trooper has been in the thick of the
fighting all the time, and he relates his
peculiar experience in a letter recent
ly received by friend in this city.
''It was the second day at San JUAN"
he wrote, land my troop was stretched
out at full length shooting over the
top of the hill. The Spanish were also
doing all the shooting that seemed to
us necessary, and my own notion was
that any of US who got out whole
would be mighty lucky, for the Span
ish aim may be bad, but there is a
whole lot of people in this vicinity
who wish it were darn sight worse,
the undersigned among the number.
THE chap on my left was close up
to me and firing fast, getting up on
one knee each time he let off and then
dropping back for a few seconds.
Bullets were dropping all round, and
so were men, and 1 had spotted one
Spaniard who seemed to be RESPONSE
BILE for lot of it. Well, was just get
ting a good bead en- him when it hap
pened. There was a sudden shock that
didn't seem to strike any place in par
ticular on my head, but all over it.
My teeth ground together and my eyes
tried to get out of their sockets, my
head was full of flames. Then every
thing went black, and I felt myself
falling. That's the end of me-
thought to myself before lapsed into
total darkness, and as I remember it
l didn't care a snap.
after that I rolled down the hill.
1t might have been any length of time

head on me like a barrel. I finally
crawled back to the firing line, and

The Currency Question.
LESSONS FROM EXPERIENCE
British Financfers Are Learning That.
q Gold Standard In Im-
possible for India.

Even the London Times, most con-
sentative in all its opinions and most
ultra in its support of the gold stand
ard, is forced to practically acknowl-
edge that the effort to establish that
system of currency in India is a failure,
and that it is probably an impossi-
bility. In signed communication to
that paper, Sir Robert Giffen acknowl-
edges the gold standard failure, as fol-
lows:
.'It is a hard saying to some that q
gold standard is impossible for India.
The subject has been discussed as il
the choice of money standard were
within the unlimited discretion of a
government, and as If the only ques>
ton were the method of acquiring the
tific view. Governments would GER
tainly act wisely at all time in having
regard to the economic conditions OF
their subjects, and their tastes and
habits in the matter of currency. To
force something unnatural. and ess
pecially to attempt change when a
community has already got a money
which admirably serves the purposes
for which money is required, is always
injudicious and injurious.
"But such a change may be impossi-
BILE as well, and this is point not to be
overlooked In the matter of a gold
standard for India. Is gold standard
for India really possible or not? In .
discussion from this point of view I
am in full agreement, believe, with
the best city opinion, which encourages
me to take up the subject. We may
throw aside at the beginning all ides
of establishing a gold standard
without a gold money, or With
out currency Immediately and readi1
ly convertible into gold, which implies
the existence of gold reserve. All
such fancy schemes are essentially
bad. They are to be rejected, among
other grounds, on the score of the ins
jury they infiict by causing discredit,
This has been exemplified in the case
of India during the last few years,
Capital, we are told on all sides, has
been brought home from India at the
high exchange ruling, and new capital
will not go out because no one knows
what the money of India will be. This
is the penalty the government and
people of India pay for an artificial
and badly managed system of money.
Daily the fact Is becoming more and
more apparent that the only possible
relief for the Indian situation lies in
the reopening of the mints of that
country to the free coinage of silver;
and, unpleasant as the acknowledge
ment NAV be- there are evidences in
abundance that the British financiers
are already preparing themselves for
the change. This fact, considered in
connection with the development of
entirely unexpected strength on the
part of American coin bonds, forms
ground for most substantial encour-
agement to the advocates of free sill,
yer coinage and a full bimetallic cur
rency in this country.-Denver Times

Sea Birds without Homes.

Students of bird lore and the many
friends of the feathered tribe are con-
cerned because enormous numbers of
seagulls are being driven from their
homes along the coast. 1t is said that
the work of the government, in pre-
pairing coast defenses, has almost de-
stroyed the homes of the seagulls.. At
the eastern end of Long Island is stu
ated Great Gull island, where it is
estimated that $4,000 gulls make their
homes. This island covers very near
y IL acres, and had for such a length
of time remained undisturbed that
the birds did not fear the approach of
man. The workmen destroyed a
great many eggs and killed numbers
OF the birds. The survivors seemed
terrorized, and at last flew away. A
few of them have returned, but the
work of building keeps them in per-
petual state of excitement, and it is
altogether likely that they will dis
appear entirely. It is much to be re-
GREETED that some arrangement can
not be made to permit these beauti-
fUl birds to dwell in security in their
chosen home. A portion of the island
might be set apart for this purpose,
with strict orders not to disturb the
peaceful inhabitants.-N. Y. Ledger.
