was incapacitated from further work.
He belonged to friendly society, but
for six months of the year was only
entitled to draw from it two shillings
a week. AS it was impossible for the
aged pair to live on this sum his wife
asked for outdoor relief. Her appli-
cation was refused, because in the opin-
ion of the guardians, though a dwarf,

Professor Worcester, one Of our

yincingly disposes of the stories re-
fiecting upon the humanity of our SOL
diers. Women and children were not
ruthlessly slaughtered at Malabon aft
'er its bombardment-bec there
was no bombardment. The town was
abandoned before our approach, and
l"there were no women and children
there to be killed" Furthermore, Pro-
,fessor Worcester has personally exam
fined every battlefield from Caloocan to
Malolos-once before the wounded
were removed, and often before the
dead were buried-and women or
children, whether wounded, dead or
living, he never discovered. No pris-
oners were ever killed, whether by or
ders Of officers or otherwise; wounded
insurgents have been tenderly cared
for and removed to our hospitals. In
short, the American soldier has shown
humanity, discretion and self-control,
as his friends at home would have ex-
pected. 1t seems to us that a serious
responsibility rests upon the persons
and papers that have been so prompt
to picture him as delighting in meth

METAL TRADING CHECKS

Used in Parts of Minnesota as . substi-
tute for Money.
The use Of metal trading checks has
become so general in some Of the
country districts In Minnesota as to
almost supplant the use OF government
coin, and suit has been Instituted
against the stamping concern making
the checks to determine whether the
production of them is in violation OF
the federal coinage laws. These checks
are about the size Of a silver quarter.
They are stamped with the name OF
the firm for whom they are made,
and bear a statement that they will
be received for a certain amount In
trade, the amounts ranging from 5
cents to 81. Country merchants use
them in exchange for produce. They
are good for trade only at the store
issuing them. But from the fact that
the stores refuse to pay for produce
I'M any other currency. they sseon' come
to be accepted by all other stores, as
the farmers selling produce have
no other coin to spend. In this way
their circulation becomes general in
certain localities. The storekeepers
maintain that as they have an unques-
tionable right to give receipts good in
trade, 1t is immaterial whether they
are written on paper or stamped on
metal. The practice is a profitable one
for the merchants. and 1t enables them
to do business on a borrowed capital
on which they do not pay interest.

present several ladies who had sought
and obtained legal freedom from the

rather talkative vivaciousness, unwit-

his bath. Several parties who tried

about SO degrees all week, which is
only about three degrees lower than
the ocean gets by the middle Of July.
Another week, and especially after the
big rush is fairly under way, thou
sands and tens of thousands will be

now and then will be found some
reckless bather, who, over-estimating
his strength, will find himself at the

to be pulled out by the life guards.
