Rest Record I'm Kansas.

Kansas has made another record.
Not content with plastering the walls
of her state buildings with cancelled
mortgages; not content with doubling
her bank deposits since 1896; Kansas
now has but one inmate in the state
poor farm. Dining-halls and'bedrooms
that few years ago were crowded
with the idle, with the hungry, and
with the poorly clad, now echo and re-
echo the solitary tramp of their
sole inmate, who is without kith or
kin, and who is too old and feeble to
work. But one sad relic remains in the
Kansas poorhouse, TO remind the tax
payers of the days when it's free soup,
free bed and free clothes were donated
to those who were compelled to idle
ness under democratic administra-
ton, and under its policy of destruc-
tion to all American industries, both OF
farm and factory.

Motherly solicitude.

A woman employed at a Yorkshire
factory took her five-year-old boy to
the hospital and asked the surgeon
to look at his hand. BY some freak
of nature his finger and thumb had
interlocked, causing him great pain
at times. "Why didn't you come here
earlier, my good woman?" said the
surgeon, in a tone of sharp reprimand.
"The little chap has evidently been
suffering from this extraordinary de-
feet since the day of his birth. If you
had brought him soon after he was
born might have done something for
him, but very much fear cannot
now" The woman, aware that she
was sadly to blame, but 10th to take
the full responsibility, Immediately
turned upon her unfortunate off,
spring. "Dost Ia hear what the gen.
tleman says, Tommy" she cried.

Democratic Boer Trick.

Referring to the visit of the Boer
peace delegates TO the United States,
the Daily Express, of London, says that
the democratic Tammany leader, of
New York city, Mr.. Croker, is running
the delegates for all they are worth for
political purposes. 1t adds:
Records of Tammany are already
black enough without the addition of
this new infamy. What makes the ac-
tion peculiarly infamous now is the
fact that Mr.. Croker claims the hospi-
tally of an English dbmicile andposes
as an English country gentleman, yet
he is aiding and encouraging the wors.
of England's enemies. Mr.. Cookers po-
sition is practically on all tours with
that of the duke of Orleans"
The paper points out that the duke
of Orleans paid the penalty of his Of
Tense by being socially banned. 1t sue~
gests that Mr.. Croker, having reasons
for spending as little time as possible
in the United States, take an Italian
villa near the duke of Orleans whose
company, it says, he will probably find

The Mermaid.
Monthly.

This was the name of famous Lon
don tavern frequented by noted lit
erary men and actors during the
reign of Queen Elizabeth. All the wit
and talent of the time assembled
there for convivial enjoyment. Au-
thors have made 1t the scene of great
mind combats between such men as
Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Beaumont,
Fletcher, Selden, Carew, Dome and
others of reverential memory. 1t was
the gathering place of the celebrated
Mermaid club, the origin Of which Is
ascribed to Sir Walter Raleigh. The
Mermaid tavern was located in Bread
street, and was handily reached from
three thoroughfares, so that IL has
been often referred to in various ways.
The Mermaid in Bread street, the
Mermaid in Friday street and the
Mermaid in Cheap street were, how
ever, all one and the same. It was
the nearest to Bread street. The Mer-
maid was destroyed in the great Lon
don fire. There were other Mer-
maid taverns, one in Cheapside and
another in Cornhill, but they had no
such associations as chung to that of
Bread street.-Detroit Free Press.

BACKBONELEss HUMANITY.
Responsible for weakness
OF Character.

1t is the home indulgence of early
life that is responsible for SO many
specimens of backboneless humanity.
There are many mothers of the indul-
gent kind, who have it not in their
hearts to make their children do any
thing that is unpleasant to them.
The frequent school headaches"
are accepted seriously, and the les
sons are shunted for that coveted run
in the garden, or that jolly play in
the house. If music be unpleasant for
little miss, still in the grinding
drudgery of scales and lingering, mu-
sic is dropped because she has no taste
for it, and it is cruel to force her in
clinations. So with the brothers
Latin and arithmetic, geography and
history.
The mother maintains the abnor-
uality of her children all through,
and makes that childish petulanco
and childish dislike of initial drudgery
the measure of their mature require
ments. Nor can she correct them
when they do wrong. She makes
kindly excuses to them and for them,
and puts excuses into their own
mouths to save them the pain of a
frank confession and herself the an
guish of inficting deserved punish
ment.
She wishes, poor soul, to be all that
is sweet and good and loving to her
children, but she has not strength Of
mind nor force of will enough to
make them feel that everlasting truth
of consequences and responsibilities.
She wants them to be good without
the need of training, and to be happy
without the drawbacks of sorrow for
wrongdoing and the bitterness of suf-
fering in punishment.
She thinks il she makes them
strong and healthy and happy, they
will necessarily be good, and she does
not see that all the while she is weak
ening their moral fiber and making
them self-indulgent, unable to resist
the pains and misfortunes of life, and
sure to become in the end n member
of that purposeless species known
as backboneless humanity.-Ledger

THE GOLD STANDARD
Caused a Saving of $6,664,4s4 to
the Government.
Total Amount Of bonds Exchanged
Was Observation-Disclosures
for New National Banks
Under New Law.


Representative Brosius, of Pennsyl-
vania, chairman of the house commit
tee on banking and currency, has made
a statement, official in character, and
based ON information carefully pre-
pared by the treasury department, on
the workings Of the recently enacted
financial law. The statement says In
part:
1.-The refunding provisions of the law
are working out an achievement in
finance without a parallel in the his
tory of the world. The statement 1
submit is official and shows the
amount of bonds of each kind ex-
changed since the law went into opera
ton, March IA, to the LIST day Of May,
1900, together with the saving in in
terest, the. premium paid, and the net
saving"
The statement shows the following
totals:
Amount refunded, $500, 1920, $50; saw
ing, in interest, $32,699.255; premium
paid, $26,034,771; net savings, $6,664,-
454. In
The met savings" shown by this
statement represents the difference
between the amount of interest the
government will pay upon the bonds
refunded to the date of their respective
maturities, and the amount of interest
the government would have been
obliged to pay had not the bonds above
described been thus refunded.
hx he he tota
amount of bonds exchanged is $780,
O20,750. The treasurer has already
made full settlement for bonds amount
ing to $3.50, O51, $50, and of the prem
iums paid and to be paid, $26, I'll,
the treasurer has already paid $685.
923,732, leaving unpaid only about
$4,000. OF the $26O,027 $50 bonds ex-
changed, $4s, 5Os,OOO were from institu-
tions or private persons other than ma
tional banks.
'The operation of legal tender re-
demption under the provisions of the
law exhibits highly satisfactory con-
dition of public confidence in our gov
eminent paper and is happy omen
for the success Of that branch of our
monetary system in the future. The
secretary of the treasury informs me
that the amount of United States notes
redeemed in gold out of the reserve
fund since the new law went into opera
ton is $5,133,149."
The most interesting of Mr.. Brosius'
statement is table prepared by the
treasury showing the extent to which
new national banks have been organ
lied under the new law. The total
number of applications approved is
pa, with a capital of So, 3sO,000. The
total applications on file for author
ity to organize national banks is sos
the total applications for the CONVEX
sion of old banks into national banks
is 3s2, making total of all kinds OF
new bank organizations of 500.
Mr.. Brosius also adds, from unofficial
but reliable sources, detailed esti-
mate of $124,7Ss.s5s, as the amount of
currency the national banks may issue
in the near future, as gathered from
their expressed intention.

SONG OF UNKNOWN HEROES.

Let me sing a song for the hero
Who fell unnamed, unknown
The common soldier. lying
Beneath no costly stone
Who fought where the foe was strongest
And, after the day was done,
Was merely among 1.-The missing
Nine hundred and sixty-one."
Let me sing song for the hero
Who knelt at the rail to pray
While the boats with the weeping womer
And children were rowed away
Who, being man and gifted
With the strength God gives to men.
Was one of the hundred sailors"
Who will ne'er tread decks again.
Let me sing a song for the hero
Who weary, wasted, wan
With disease and the world against him
Toiled hopefully. bravely on
Who, robbed of earth's choicest pleasures
Could smile as he wrought away.
And lies with the unnamed millions
Awaiting the Judgment Day.
Let me sing the song Of the heroes
Who died unknown, unnamed,
And my song shall be Of the bravest
That Death and the grave e'er claimed!
And my song shall live the longest
or all the songs e'er sung,
And still be the song of heroes
When the last sad knell Is rung!

conflict some so years ago in which
over 100000 women took part, and
they were as active as men in oil mil

brigades of $4,000 each, and had fe-
male officers. Ten thousand were

THE FARMER TALKS.
Tells Ell Perkins How Congress Can
Make Money for the
Country.

1.-THE trouble down in Washington,
Eli" said an old Dakota farmer ON the
train the other day, sis caused by
their having too many one-horse east
ern farmers in congress. Now we are
SO prosperous that we sold twelve
hundred million dollars worth of stuff
to Europe last year, and only bought
back six hundred million dollars
worth. This gave us n surplus of six
hundred million dollars, which came
back to us in gold and bonds. That's
all right. If we go on that way for
ten years longer, Wen have six billions
of their money-about fourth. of the
money in the world! Now, why can't
we let well enough alone? What's the
use Of flying off on free silver and free
trade again?
'-Then again they say we amt man.
aging our commerce right. They say
we don't own the ships that carry this
stuff to Europe. They say European
ships get 5000, OO0,0 900 for carrying this
stuff across the ocean. Now, why
don't congress bolster up our ships a
little, as 1t did our tin factories, glass
factories and silk factories? Why,
suppose congress should give our ships
ten or twenty million dollars to help
them start in? Call it a subsidy.
What of it? By and by, when the
ships get started, we'll save 5000, OOO,-
600 year from going to European
ship owners. We bait a, trap to catch
q rat, don't we, but we don't have to
feed him cheese after he is caught.
1--WE farmers won't squeal If con-
gress will spend twenty millions to
save two hundred millions. England
and Germany back up their ships and
give them bonus on the money they
make for their country. They steal
the carrying trade and take $500, OOO,-
600 out of our pockets every year. !

Colorado's bank deposits have more
than doubled in five years, increasing
from $9.379,733 in 1894 to $2O,O5s,3 1877 in
1899. The number of people who had
bank accounts increased in the same
time from 1882 up to 3O,O47. This can
be credited up to Mckinley prosperity,
and accounts in part for the fact that
thousands oe Colorado men who left the
