sam houston and His Corn..

Professor Hiram Corson of Cornell
university. who used to be reporter
for the United States senate. tells this
story about Sam Houston: I'VE re-
porters took turn and turn about each
for an hour. One day l was sitting
idly in the reporters gallery, waiting
my turn and looking on. Presently my
attention was drawn by Senator Hous-
ton. Huge of frame, he was particu-
larly huge of feet, and those eXtremi-
ties were rendered the more conSpicu-
Gus in those days of boots by being
incased in laced shoes. On this occa-
sion there seemed TO be an amount of
pain in those feet proportionate to
their size.
The senator kept one upon his
knee, rubbing it, with an anguished
expression and periodically eXchang-
ing for the other foot. After awhile he
unlaced his shoes and drew them off.
Then the nursing of his aching toes
continued for time as before. But no
relief came, and at last. TO my utter
amazement and amusement, he slowly
Invested himself of Il long blue wooden
stocking. and, taking the huge Jack
knife with which he was wont to pass
the time whiting, he proceeded de-
Iiberately to pare his corns in the SEN
ate of the United States"

agent general for Natal in London,
who fought against the Beers in for
mer years. He said: The attitude of
the Orange Free State means its in
evitable acquisition by Great Britain.
Peace in South Africa can only be ac-
complished by war. In my opinion a
war would not last more than two
months. In order to make pacification
effective Great Britain must assume
absolute control over the whole of
South Africa.

concerned. all this talk about poor. I'M

sions The Free State would always
lave bsan n disturbing factor in the
quiet OF South Africa.
Great Britain has the power TO
work ont ultimate peace. Ii remains
to be- seen whether she has the spirit.
Upon the conclusion of war. which
must be unfliTahing in order to be ef-
frctiye. British control must be abSo-
luJe over all South African Cape
Colony. Natal and other sections. Half
measures would only prolong unrest
and produce more disturbances.
Il have known the Beers as we'll as
any man. | have lived among them
and l have fought them. To exist
peacefully so close TO them is an utter
impossibility. Negotiations are well
enough i'll their way. but British con-
troll OF the Transvaal must come even
IIaIIy. For years the Beers have been
crying Throw the Outlander into the
sea- and out with him. Possibly
they are not so virile as during the
last war hut there is little difference
Ny idea is that if the Beers We're
caught in the open once or twice the
thing would be ended. Kill 800 of
them and all that would remain for
England to do would be to send Il few
shiploads of Grape.
Il hey never have stood in the open.
and If war comes now they will have
10 do moro than stay in the hills. This
is not optimistic twaddle but an opin-
ion based upon my experience in cam
paigns against the Beers. l haven't
the slightest fears for the safety of my
colony or its towns. 1t is possible that
Il few BOer incursions might get n few
miles into Natal. but no further. and it
must be remembered that many of
those living on the edge of The Natal
border are themselves Beers"

CONDITION OF THE STATE BANKS.

Decrease i'm Deposits.

Springfield. Ills. Sept. 2S-The state
auditor has issued his quarterly state
ment of ali the state banks in Illinois.
Since his last statement. July ]. the
bank of Madison county has consOli-
dated with the bank of Edwardsvillc.
and the State bank of Deland. the
State bank of Warren and the Farm
ers bank of Chenoa have been organ
lied. making a net gain of two and Il
total of 100 in the state.
The large decrease of deposits with
other banks * confined almost entire
ly TO the Chicago banks. In this re
spect the banks outside of Chicago ap-
pear about the same as at the date of
the last report. This decline. how
ever. is made up in large measure by
the increase in loans. There is a con
tinued increase in the savings deposits.
