Peculiar Proceedings in Illinois.
(From the Minneapolis TribuneD

(From the Minneapolis Tribune.)
Madison. Wis. Feb. 2i.-The Wisconsin
department of state, by virtue of a law
passed last winter. has been collecting
the list of army deserters from Wisconsin
during the war of the rebellion and de-
Stroying them. Each county clerk has
been requested to collect and send in
those of his own county. Some are still
coming in. but it is believed the number is
now very nearly exhausted. A certificate
is made in the public records of each one
destroyed. The lists of deSerters were
compiled in 1861 and 1868. and formed quite
a volume. In great many cases they
have done injustice to veterans. who were
reported as deserters when they were
prisoners of war in the South, and il
was for the protection of these that the
law was passed.

A Sly Dodge.

A comic actor who had been engaged
to entertain family party, proposed,
at the conclusion Of the performance,
a little game Of his own. Each of the
company, himself included, was to
stake half dollar, and the pool would
be taken by the person who possessed
the most of the a1Aicles which he (the
comedian) would inquire for. On his
assurance that he would take no mean
advantage, but run the same risk as
the rest, all the members of the party
consented, and between SIS and $40
we're soon laid upon the table. The
actor added his mark to the pile with
cunning smile, and then said:
"Now, which Of you ladies and gen
tlemen have the greatest number of

one minute, then burst of laughter,

Melon Story.

My grandfather was very proud Of
his melon patch,'' said the man who
was telling the story. "and when that
big melon began to spread about he
was happy. Well, that melon kept
on gros ing, and finally it became a
question of whether they should move
the house or cut the melon. Grand
father thought great deal of that
melon, and he didn't like to cut it
until it was fully ripe He thought
it over great deal, and finally decided
to move the house. a dozen men
were employed, and the house was
moved. But that melon kept on grow
ing until it became necessary to move
the barn or cut the melon. Grand
father had the barn moved, and then
the fence. At last the melon was ripe.
He determined to have regular water
melon feast, SO he invited the neigh
bors for miles around. He employed
two men with cleaves to cut the melon.
At last the eventful day arrived, and
hundreds of people stood around with
open eyes and mouths. Finally the
melon was cut open, and to the dis
may of all it was found to be hollow.
A negro named Sam johnson was
inside. He had tunneled his way
under the melon, cut hole, and eaten
his way through. There were thoug hts
Of lynching him, but he died before
the plan was carried out. -

His mind had been disturbed for some
time by the hard-heartedness OF a
young woman who declined to marry
him. On the day that his wits went
completely away he made for the
magazines with the intention, as he
quietly announced to young Swedish
recruit whom he met on the way, OF
blowing them up. The Swede's $ eyes
stuck out at this, but he was one OF
the tribe of quick thinkers.
cay tank Ay'll go alang an halp,
said he to the crazy ordnance SER
geant, whose eyes cleaned with in
sanity. The sergeant made no re-
sponse, and the Swedish recruit walked
after him. The sergeant opened the
door of one Of the main magazines,
that held many thousands Of pounds
Of black smooth-bore powder, and
started to break out big box of it.
The Swede saw that the crazy man
actually intended to blow up the
magazine. When he was convinced
of this he picked up shellbar, waited
for the insane man to turn his back
and banged him over the head with it.
Then he carried the crazy ordnance
sergeant on his back to the guard
house. The Swedish recruit was a
corporal the next day.

BoULEvARD'S MANY PITFALLS.
Recent Storms Ravages Keep Cy-
cIists on the Jump.

Workmen for the past three or four
days have been making an attempt to
remove all traces of the storm of last
Saturday, but in this respect they have
not been very successful. The method
of repairing the-Boulevard does not seem
to meet with the approval of the ma
jority of cyclists. Large piles of crushed
stones about the size of a marble are
scattered over the roadway. This sort of
dressing is left there until it is crushed
by carriages or heavy wagons. Cyclists
dare not ride on it for fear of a bad fall
or having their tires perforated
A fine grade Of top dressing is what
should be used to fill up the small gull
lies and sluiceways caused by the rain.
The only part of the road that can be
ridden on now with comfort or safety is
a well beaten path about three feet from
the curb on each side Of the thorough
fare. The bicycle police say thai on acz
count of the poor condition of the road,
riding has greatly fallen off ans what
promised early to be a reeord-breaking
season for wheeling has not yet come up
to last seasons riding.
The residents along the Boulevard, be-
tween McAdoo and Stevens avenues. are
still complaining about the old unsightly
lamp posts which grace that part of the
roadway. They say that if they are not
taken away shortly an appeal will be
made to the Board of Freeholders.

THE BANK or SPAIN.
Al QuEEH CONCERN WITH MORE HIS
TORY THAN INFLUENCE.

Nothing Like the Bank Of England or the
as q Factor In international Finance.
The Banks Note Monopoly.
It is natural to suppose that the Bank
OF SPUN is something like the Bank Of
England or the Bank Of Trance, but MOTH
ing could be much further from the truth.
In 1928 private individuals secured from
Ferdinand VII the first charter for the
Bank of Spain. This charter was re-
ncwed in 1856 and again in 1874. The
present charter expires in 1921, if the bank
survives until that time. When granted
in 1874, it was intended that it should ex-
pire in 1904, but the government, while
not recognizing the institution as a bona
flde part Of tho crown, at tho same time
has continually made it a Convenience
for securing royal funds and willingly
extended the charter limit II years.
Tho capital Of the bank is limited to
$50, OO0, 600 pesetas. A pcseta is equivalent
to 1913 cents and the practical equivalent
of a franc. The French monetary system
was introduced in Spain in 1859 and the
old Spanish lame peseta was retained for
the unit {the franc) and the peseta is d.
vided into 100 confines. In our money
the capital Of the Bank of Spain is $685.
$50, 900.
Spanish law requires that the minimum
surplus of it's bank shall be 10, DOC, 900
posetas, or 81, $50, 900, not an extremely
large sum when it is considered that the
entire financial brunt of the Cuban war
and now the war with the United States
has been forced upon the bank by the
crown. But as a concession to the private
individuals interested in the bank and
who, it may be presumed, are not suffer-
ers by any condition Of the rank today,
its note issue is limited to only five times
its capital; hence to 750, 100000 pesetas.
or STA, 750, 900, provided the amount be
not in excess Of four times its metallic re-

in Spain consists Of the notes of the Banco
de Espana, md they are SO deprecated in
value today that exchanged in American
money their worth would be that of curios
for a rare book OF scraps.

A building On o down town street was
on fire and the first floor was full of thick,
suffocating smoke. To the crowd outside
it seemed as IL a man could not live a min
ute in it, as if human lungs could not
possibly endure it, and yet there were two
fremen in tho room. They had gone in,
and had not yet como out. At the end Of
ten minutes o fireman struggled out OF
the door and stood against a ladder, pant
ing and struggling for breath. In a mo-
ment or two he was apparently all right.
ssBy ~gracious!'' said a man. "That
fellow must have fireproof lungs. He's a
wonder.
After it was all over and the firemen
had returned to their engine houses and
were cleaning themselves and the appar-
stus the man who had come through the
smoke was found. He was as clipper as
if he had never been to q fire.
How do you do it2'' asked a man.
eEasy enough; he answered. "Just
hug the floor. There is no smoke next to
the floor"
But how do you see to get out?' was
asked. surely the smoke is too thick to
find yoar way about, and in q strange
building you don't know where the door
is. How do You manage it2'
"It's like this, answered the fireman.
ssWhen the smoke gets thick, we get
down on the floor and work as long as we
can. If we can't do anything and have
got to get out, we just crawl alonga crack
and como to the front of the building. In
the big down town buildings the floor
boards run from the front to the back,
md if we don't happen to strike the door
we just follow the front wall until wo
come to it. That's no trick. H-K1nsas
