Obstinate sores and ulcers, which
refuse to heal under ordinary treat
ment, soon become chronic and deep
seated, and lead to conditions most
serious. They are caused in different
ways. but in every case the blood il
involved, and no amount Of local treat
ment can have any effect. The poison
must be eliminated from the blood
before a cure can be had.

n Few Samples OF
Genline Poetry

CD HE announcement that James
WhitCOmp Riley is soon to read
in this city selections from his
published works will he receiN ed
with pleasure by all lovers of good
poetry and of sympathetic recitation IF
good poetry. Mr.. Riley is perhaps the
most original genius that the United
States has yet contributed to English lit
erature and thcre are many who thinks
he is destined to rank at the top of the
list of American poets However tnat
may be, he is a lovable singer, a charm
ing reader and man after humanity's
own heart. In venturing to quote few
of his more familiar short poems We have
cndeavOred to show the versatility of his
genius and the width of his study of
metrical models. In "The Drum" for
example. we have a sinGularly effective
adaptation of metre and rhythm to theme,
as follows:
oh, the drum
There is some
Intonation in thy grum
Monotony of utterance that strikes the
spirit dumb
AS we hear
Through the clear
And unclouded atmosphere
Thy palpitating syllables roll in upon the
ear!
There's part
OF the art
OF thy musiC-throbbmg heart
That thrills something in us that awak-
ems with a start,
And in rhyme
With the chime
And eXaCtitude Of time,
Goes marching on to glory of the melody
sublime,
And the guest
OF the breast
That thy rolling robs of rest
Is a patriotic spirit as Continental
dressed;
And he looms
From the gloOmS
OF a century OF tombs,
And tho blood he spilled at Lexington in
living beauty blooms.
And his eyes
Wear the guisc
OF a purpose pure ana wise;
As the love of them is lifted to a some-
thing in the skies,
That is bright
Red and white,
With a blur of starry light,
AS it laughs in silken ripples to the
breezes day and night
Hushes creep )
Ger the pulses as they leap,
And the muImur. fainter growing, on the
silence falls asleep;
While the prayer
Rising there
Wills the sea and earth and air
AS "a heritage to freedoms sons and
daughters every where
| Then, with sound
As profound
As the thunderngs resound
| Come thy wild reVeTberatiOns in a throe
that shakes the ground
! And a cry
Flung ON hiGh
Like the nag il flutters by,
! Wings rapturously upward tin n nestles
! I'm the sky.
| On, the drum,
| There is some
| lntOnatiOu in Thy gTum
Monotony Of utterance that strikes me

! Through the clear
And unclouded atmosphere

Banks and Check Charges.

Hereafter the banks belonging to the
New York Clearing House association
will charge one-tenth of one per cent.
for the collection of all checks from
Pennsylvania and other states in the
Middle states group. No bank belonging
to the association can violate this rule
without rendering itself liable to fine
or expulsion. Discussing this action
the Philadelphia Press says:
The step is part Of a general convic-
ton among banks that they are under
paid for their services. The Chicago
banks have agreed to levy a charge of
81 month on all accounts less than
$500. Accounts of less than this amount
do not, they feel, pay for themselves.
Chicago banks have also reduced the
interest on the deposits of country
banks 10 one and half per cent. where
New York banks allow two per cent.
In New York, in Boston and Chicago
the consolidation of banks is in pro-
Gress on large scale, in order to re-
duce expenses Banks are undoubtedly
pressed on all sides. They are easily
taxed. and taxed heavily. The rate
of interest steadily falls. Considering
the security and the capital of the
country taken as a whole, the bank
rate is probably lower than anywhere
else in the world But banks and
banking remain, in spite of all this,
highly profitable, and they are so be-
cause Of the liberal policy pursued by
American banks. The American bank
has always given its customers more
than do banks abroad. Smaller de-
posits are carried and smaller checks
are encouraged and paid. Exchange,
which once bore a heavy charge. has
year by year become less burdened
until the great mass of checks are
handled free. The distinction between
checks and drafts for small sums has
almost disappeared and most men aud
women find the check of their local
bank accepted anywhere. Where banks
in England and Europe refuse small
and varying deposits, object to fire.
quent or small checks on it, charge for
collection and burden depositors with
a host of small restrictions and eX-
penses, our banks leave business free.
The practical result is that American
banks command the entire resources
Of the community. Great sums, which
In other countries are kept in desks,
drawers, tills and stockings, with us
seek the banks. The currency kept by
individuals is small. A vast number
of persons OF moderate income who
abroad would not have a bank account
here deposit sixty to eighty per cent
of their receipts and pay their eX-
penses with checks. This wise and
far-sighted banking policy has stimu.

treaty with the queens signature is

At Jekyl island.

The simultaneous presence at Jekyl
island. Georgia. of President McKin-
ley, Vice President Hobart, Speaker
Reed. Senator Hanna, Judge Day and
several other notable Republicans has
given rise TO the theory that an I'M
portant political conference is to be
held. Jel<yl island is the secluded
property of q very exclusive club, and
entrance to it is denied to all but MEM
bcrs and guests. There is no lack CT
denials that conference Is contem-
plated and the converging of these dis
tinguished health-seekers is explained
to be wholly accidental; but gossip
will not down and i'm the absence Of
positive knowledge everybody is at lib
erty to draw his own conclusions.
For many reasons a frank conference
between these recognized leaders of thu
Republican party would be desirable.
It would be especially so, it seems TO
us. in the ease Of the president of the
United States and the speaker of the
house Of representatives. Reports of
an estrangement between these two re-
sponshlc officials and party directors
have long been common. Concerning
them we have no knowledge not open

There has been talk Of Republican
opposition to Mr.. Reeds reelection TO
the speakorship. 1t is mostly talk.
Some Republican members of congress
have unpleasant recollections of Mr..
Reeds use of the powers of his office
in manner contrary to their personal
inClinations but all recognize his in
comparable ability as a pariamentar-
ian, his honesty of purpose, strength
of character and mature grasp upon
the essentials of successful lcgisla-
tion. Even members with grievances
see these qualities and recognize their
value to the party and to the nation.

man. Friend and foe alike concede this.
Still, he and Mckinley ought to talk
things over. There is virtue in frank
