twenty seven years ago. He opened
the second hotel in the county which
was called the Typer House, now
konwn as the Eikhorn. This was sever

his hotel at Great Bend until October.

Depew and Mr.. Choate have for many years

Mr.. Bayard as a Fatalist.

1t Is stated that the week before he
died the late Thomas r. Bayard. am
bassador to England in the last admin
istration of President Cleveland, said
that fate, and not his own efforts or
disposition or desires. had determined
his course all through life. I'VE are
all playthings." he said, lin the hands
of fate"
1t is, of course, possible that Mr.. Bay
ard did make the dying remarks at
tributed to him: but, whether he did
or not, nothing was thereby contrib
uted to the solution of the great prob
lem, and their only significance exists
in the fact that the opinion was that of
an individual of much eminence and
one whom the world generally might
be disposed to regard as having at
tanned a reasonable degree Of success
in the affairs of life. But there is so
much of wisdom and philosophy in the
utterances, whether viewed from the
standpoint of the fataffst or that Of the
devout believer in the controlling power
Of Providence, that they are entitled to
thoughtful regard.
1t is questionable whether any man
resting in a conscious condition intel
lectually on his deathbed is fully salts

Much Money in Circulation.

The year has begun with the money In
circulation in the United States we'll over
$25 for every man. woman and child in the
country. That average has been reached
only few times in the history Of the coun-
try and never when the purchasing power
of dollar was great as it is now or when
the use OF bank checks. drafts, etc., made
the demand for coin and currency SO light
in proportion to the volume of business.
The supply of money, in comparison with
the population, is now larger than 1t is In
almost all other countries. and in most OF
them the banking and other facilities which
50 greatly decrease the need for money in
American business affairs are far inferior to
such commercial conveniences in the United
States It is true that France still has
large lead over this country in the stock
of money relative to the number OF in
habitants. but it is doubtful whether the sup
ply is more abundant there than in the
United States, when the difference between
the countries In business methods Is taken
into account The recent increase Of the
circulation in the United States, both abso-
lutely and per capita, IS unique among Ia
lions. 1t seems likely to continue for long
period, and even to go on with accelerated
force and speed
In this matter, which has been made so
much Of by the infationists. the progress
of the nation Is all that could be asked by
the most captious if they keep within the
bounds of worldwide experience and laws
of trade. which are of universal application.

1t is particularly important at this time
that the authority and purview Of the secre

fled with the record he has made, and
for the reason that every man is pos
sessed of his own ideal Of what real
ported to have said that fate, and not
his own efforts or disposition or desires,
had determined his course ar through
life. Every man who reasons philo-
sophically must reach the same con-
clusion with respect to his own career.
Gen. Grant was one of the most nota-
bic illustrations of a man who attained
to undreamed- fame, and apparently
without any initial effort Of a fixed
kind on his own part. Upon one oc-
casIon he said, substantially, in his
quiet, modest way, that in looking
back over his strange life he could note
the fact that many of the things he
most desired and to which he had APP
FLIED the most Industrious efforts in
attempting to secure, were the very
things he failed to secure, and those
which he ought not to have secured,
anyhow. In unison with this view we
have the recorded utterance of Abra-
ham Lincoln to the effect that it was
through his repeated failures to sue
most desired, he did succeed in get
ting the larger things he never expect
ed to get.
Whether Mr.. Bayard may properly be
claSsed as fataliSt pure and simple.
or as the excellent Christian gentle
man his career proved him to be, mat
tiers little. But it was unquestionably
true Of him, as it must be in the case
OF all men possessed of an honorable
purpose in life, that even though what
may seem to be proper desires are not
realized, and what may seem to be
we'll directed efforts result in apparent
failure, the sum of honest, sincere en-
deavor along conscientious lines must
bring some solace to the departing soul
even though every dream is not real
lied, and every ambition, no matter of
how noble intent is unsatisfied.

HOW THE PAPERS MADE.

Jams himself in a passenger lift;
And they shoot him stories high to meet
Another, who bendeth Ger q drift
Of copy. Who smokes. and softly swears,
AS someone's poem he idly tears,
Or chuckles with mrth sardonic-
He calls to Barrett and Jones and Flynn,
Brown, and the one who has just come in,
And in language, terse, lacouic-
Assigns them all
To city hall,
State house, central game or bout,
Sermon, horse race, boat race. club,
Lecture, banquet, ball or rour
Write the news and not flub-dub.''
He adds at parting. So on his run
Goes each reporter undismayed.
The chase for copy has now begun,
And that's the way the papers made.
Over a desk, in another nook.
Pallid pessimist pushes a pen.
Solemn as Poe's lugubrious rock,
He writes leader on Public Men,
The telegraph chopper pastes and ships,
Reading one line to ten he skips,
With pipe in red eruption
And steadily UP the copy goes
To the type machines in stately rows
A hot screed on Corruption,
A song of cheer,
A puff for beer,
Bit Of scandal in high life,
Interview with Gottherocks,
Story of devoted wife,.

The mills go grinding. The makeup"
Growing because he learned the trade;
But he sorts the slugs with nimble thumbs,
And that's the way the papers made.
A rush and roar Is heard below
Where the hurried presses clang and clash,
Throwing off twenty thousand or so
Each hour they run, while the newsies
dash
Adown the street with something to sell
That's advertised best by newsies yell
Paper, sir? Latest edition.
And pat pat, pat fall the folded sheets.
Ready for sale on the crowded streets.
And each with special mission
Away they go,
Like fakes of snow,
To meet in the throbbing crowd;
Eager each to scan the news,
Toiler grim, magnate proud.
On a level all peruse
Politics, crime, society stuff"
Fact and folly and pasquinade,
While the presses struggle to print enough.
And that's the way the papers made.

Remarks BY a Truck Driver

The life of a truck driver "adn't" altogeth-
er an unhappy one: neither does he repose
on a bed of lilacs las the poet says. The
man on the truck sees things in different
light from the man the sidewalk. Now,
for instance. / was hitchin' up this mOrnin'
by the light Of a kerosene lantern. in a big
hurry to get down to the skally to pull the
last load out of car before the demurrage
man could get around and charge up 81 for
trackage, and got to thinkin' about politics
and the Filpinos, and talkin about politics
reminds me of them two horses of mine.
There's that off horse Jerry: he's a genuine
Republican, clear through. He wants every
thing there is in sight. When 1 give 'em
their feed Jerry eats all the oats out of his
own box. then pushes his nose over into
Ben's, and Ben, like a gcodnatured Demo-
crat Is willin to divide until he sees he's
about to lose his supper; then he makes a
kick and sends Jerry off to finish up ON hay.
He's an expansionist, too, Is Jerry; cause
no matter how big his stall is, he amt never
satisfied, but goes after part Of Ben's
Then there's another kick. and 1 have to go
out and arbttrate the matter. That's just
the way with some men. The only way you
can keep them where they belong is to build
wall around them so high that they can't
get ladder long enough to climb over It.
If horses could only vote and hold office.
that fellow Jerry would be boss Of the city
hall, or the White house. and Ben would
keep on votin' for John Lind, and think HIM
self well off at that.
Now, you take horse and work him hard
all his life, until he gets old, then turn him
out to pasture, and he'll go around contented
like and mind his own business. But you
can't do that with a man. Put a man in Of
flee. Let him stay there and work until he
gets to be as old as the coat Of paint on the
Market house; you can't turn him out to
pasture; he won't go; he wants to NEEDLE

NEW YORK. Jan. 21.-The Financier
says:
The banks of New York gained So
'4''Soo IN cash last week, mainly in the
form of specie. The heavy increase in
goid was due to treasury disburse-
ments. to receipts from Europe and
San francisco. and smaller transfers
rom other points The cash expansion
owing to the relatively small loan in
crease, greatly swelled the surplus re-

the week was no less than $3.50, 600
bringing the total idle excess to a point
Well over $95,O00000, the highest figure,
In TACT. recorded since August last.
Much interest has been excited by
the slowness with which loans are adj
Vancing. in the face of a stock market
ana Industrial conditions never before
paralleled In activity. One theory that
mas ready acceptance is that the pres
ent speculative craze finds its course in
investment buying, and that securities
are being paid for and taken out of
the market instead of being used as
collateral. There is some room for this
contention. but the operations of the
banks Tor week past do not reflect
It, While the gross loan expansion was

that a gain was made In spite of the
loss of s5,0O0,0O0 in loans by one very
large institution. which is heavily in
terested in sterling investments and
treasury disbursements. Whether this
loss represents the maturity of out
standing foreign credits or operations
with the treasury is not, known, but 1t
is true that to meet the decrease and
report the gain noted the other clearing
house banks must have increased their
loans over $S,000,O0O
Operations with the treasury are Of
unusual Importance at present. since
the heavy surplus of the banks. not
only here. but all over the country. is
largely due to the $4,000 900 or $40, 00O,-
