"Mollie's Prince"

If you happen to like this sort Of
thing, why, this is the sort of thing
you like. There is a beautiful lame
girl in it, one Of the family Of an i'm
poverished artist, and she accidentally
attracts the attention of an affabIe
young nObleman who is looking about
for a woman not wholly of the con-
ventional type. He woos her as the
charming gentlemen in fairy tales al
ways woo-would that men Of flesh
and blood knew enough to take a few
lessons Of themi-and it all ends as
happily as possible. Mollie's sister
also secures a very agreeable prince
OF her own, and even the impecunious
father is made happy by marriage
with an heiress who had loved him
in his youth, and had remained faith
full to what strikes the reader as
very inadequate fragment of a TO-
nance for an attractive and wealthy
young woman. The beauty of Miss
Carey's characters is that they have
absolutely no common sense, but are
made happy by watchful Providence
Which rewards them according to
their deserts after the kindly fashion
OF Providence as conceived by some
story writer's.

BANK RESOURCES.
Some Interesting Facts and Figures
from Report OF the Comptroller
OF the Treasury.

Washington Nov. 17-Charles G. Dawes,
comptroller Of the currency. has just made
public the results Of the investigation
which he has made into the number of
loans and deposit accounts, rates Of In
terest and resources of the combined banks
Of the United States in the years 1889 1891
and 1923 In collecting this data nearly
10000 reports from banks have been ex-
amined and compiled.
The Investigation into number of loans
and deposit accounts and average loans
ard deposits IS the first ever made, COW
erlng the United States, either in reference
10 the national system or banks other than
national The results of this investigation
Indicate a magnitude OF banking resources
and rate of growth IN number Of deposit
accounts which is unparalleled in the
financial history of the world.
The general deductions from the investi-
cation, covering the last ten years, IS given
by the comptroller as follows;
First--That the number Of individual de-
positors in the banks of the United States
is constantly increasing, as indicated by
the regular increase in the number Of de-
post accounts OF the combined banking
systems, estimated as follows: July II,
1882 1908 banks reporting, 67oS,97l; July
Is 1894, 9.50S banks reporting, $685. 1861 June
80, 1899, 9,7S2 banks reporting. 11.4S2,636. The
estimated grand total for the year 1899,
based upon banks reporting and stats
tics as to incorporating banks obtained
from tax returns to the commissioner Of
internal revenue, shows 13.15S,S7l deposit
accounts in 12.S04 banks.

EFFORT WAS WASTED.
PA Told His Son Nice Little story
with n Moral, But 1t Was
UnaVniling.

I overheard a couple of well-known gem
tlemen relating their experience in domestic
affairs a few days ago. One OF them said
his boy was inclined to devote toe much
of his time to athletic sports and neglect
his studies, while the other found has boy
devoting his energies TO master hall dozen
different musical Instruments, which was
the cause of his negiecting duties assigned
him to perform.
II took the boy aside" said the parent,
"and told him the following story: a grass.
hopper wasted all the cheerful days Of sum.
mer skipping gay,y about in the fields and
enjoying himself, while the prudent ant
improved each hour by gathering food and
storing it away. When winter came, and
the thermometer registered in the vicinity
of zero, the grasshopper approached the
ant for the loan OF provisions.
"But the ant said What were you do
ng all summer Oh, singing and d2ncing,
said the grasshopper. Oh, well, chop ice
now said the ant. so the hungry grasshop-
per went away and dropped dead from cold
and hunger, | thought the moral of the
story was too plain for me to make further
comment, and as / was about to leave it

is a somewhat hackneyed term as applied to
railroad trains, but IL accurately describes
the Alton Limited, the newly equipped day
trains OF the Chicago d Alton X. Il. Co.
which were placed in daily service between
Chicago and st. Louis, November l6, 1898.
The equipment consists of standard Chicago
& Alton passenger locomotive; United
States postal car, siXtysiX feet in length;
combination passenger and baggage ear,
combination parlor chair car and coach, Chi
cago & Alton parlor chair ear; cafe and but-
fet smoking car and Pullman parlor observa-
ton car, each of which Is seyenty-two feet
six inches in length. The framing Of all
these cars is Pullman standard with Empire
decks, wide vestibules standard steel plat
forms and anti-telescoping device. All of
the cars are lighted with electric lights ex-
cept the mail car and combination passenger
coach and baggage car, which are lighted
with Pintsch gas. The windows throughout
the entire train are of uniform width, the
Gothic lights above being of the new Pull
man standard. The ornamentatIon is Of spe-
cia design, the color scheme being Maroon
Great care has been used in the selection Of
pushes and woods for the interior, and the
lamps, metal furnishings, etc, are of special
design II is claimed that there has never
been built in America a train which has re-
ceived as much attention as to constructive
details as has The Alton Limited An ex-
animation Of this superb train certainly
bears out this claim.
