WINTER IN SWITZERLAND.
In the Higher Attitudes We Are Told
There Are Never Any stormy
Days.

o There is no doubt that the plan Of
taking winter holiday in Switzer-
land is being more largely adopted of
late years, foc all who try it discover
the country is more lovely in winter
than in summer. During December,
January and February in the high
Swiss attitudes, says the Chicago
News, there are never any stormy
days, and winter sports, such as to-
bogganing, skating, hockey on ice and
sleighing, all offer ample opportunity
for fun.
All this gayety has developed within
few years, Fifteen years ago a
shrewd man opened a big hotel at
Lrindelwald in winter, and the inhab-
itants around about were filled with
amazement at the wild idea, for no.
body ever imagined it would be any
thing but big failure, Yet last win
ter guests had TO be turned away.
New roads are being built, new ho-
tells are springing up for the express
accommodation of the winter travel
crs. Skating and tobogganing on the
Engadine have become famous and the
growth in popularity of St. Moritz is
marvellous. Anything more beautiful
than the lake there after the first
frost before the snow has fallen can
not be imagined, while the ice-tobog-
gaming is the fastest in the world.

L. K. Railroad In It.

Saturday afternoon, at GAINESVILLE.
o., the stockholders of the Little Ka-
nawha railroad held an election Of di-
rectors. Those elected are f. A. Dur
ban, ]. Hope Sutor w. D. Schultz, II.
A. Sharp and H. b. Dick. The direc-
tors met Immediately and organized
by electing f, A. Durham, president,
and ]. Hope sutor,secretary and treas
urer.
This company is now the cwner OF
the GAINESVILLE & Chic River railway
running from Zanesvllle to Marietta.
Associated in the new directorate are
some New York capitalists, who have
taken stock in the reorganized comp
any for the purpose of extending the
line into the coal fields at the head OF
the Little Kanawha r. r.
1t has been known for some time
that the owners OF tn eLittle Kanawha
r. r. were planning for an extension
up the river and to accomplish such
purpose they have been negotiating
with New York parties. Although the
officers of the L. X. r. r. will not talk
| it looks as though the parties with
whom they have been cCnferring and
the directors of the o. e L. X. r. r.
are the same people and at lu oppor-
| tune time the two roads will combine
and have line from GAINESVILLE to the
head Of the Little Kanawha river
Sentinel.

HOW KAPFrRs BANK.
The Peculiar system OF savinE Money
Among the south AfficRn
Natives


The natives Of that part OF South
Africa which TO great extent IL in
habited by Bushmen and Hottentots
have peculiar system of banks aud
banking.
These Kaffirs, says Tlt-Blts, among
whom this curious system Of banking
obtains, live near Kaffraria, In the
south OF the Colony country. The ma
tives come down south from their
country TO trade in the several villages
and towns in large numbers, stay with
the Beers for time, then return to
Kaifraria.
Their banking facilities are very
primitive, aud consist entirely of banks
of deposit alone, without banks Of dis
count or issue, and they have no
checks. But still they enjoy banking
privileges. such as they are.
From those who trade OF their own
number, they select one, who for the
occasion is TO be their banker. He is
converted into bank of deposit by
putting all the money of those whose
banker he is into bag, and then they
sally forth to the stores TO buy what
ever they want.
When an article is purchased by any
OF those who are in this banking ar
rangement the price Of the article is
taken by the banker from this deposit
money bag, counted several times and
then paid to the seller OF the article,
after which all the bank depositors cry
out to the banker in the presence of the
two witnesses selected:
"You owe me so muchl" This is then
repeated by the witnesses. The general
accounting comes between the banker
and his several deposltors, when all
desired purchases have been made, after
which all the natives depart for their
northern wilds.

A Standard Among News.
papers.

Rejecting in its widening circulation
and increased advertising patronage
the prosperity that marks the opening
of the new year The Pittsburg Times
more than ever impresses upon its
readers the excellence of its high
standard and the success of its efforts
to make model paper for the indi-
vidual and for the family. The Times
is a newspaper, sparing no pains nor
expense to cover the world thoroughly
every day, that its current page of his
tory may be complete, and in its longer
range overlooking nothing that occurs
at home 1t is clean, dlgnifed and re-
liable certain that no lack of these
features can be made up in offensive
sensatlonalism. It can be taken into
the family circle with confidence that
its columns are filled with wholesome
instruction and entertainment. Wher-
ever known The Times is recognized
as the best type Of concise, crisp and
complete newspaper and among news
paper men ii is the publication with
which comparisons of excellence are
made. While The Times is Republican
IN politics, it realizes that others have
a right to be On earth, and that poll
tics are not everything. When one
cent day will buy morning paper ii
is foolish to be without one. The
Times is three dollars year or six
cents a week. and worth the money.

CLEVER LITTLE CHINESE.
Wu Ting FunE'S Son Had an An
Swer fON n Very PGzEIInE
Question.

The Chinese minister to the United
States, Mr.. WI Ting Fang, has little
son who evinces a wonderful interest
in the deeper subjects of life, says the
Washington Post. Not long ago he
was talking to some of his little play
fellows and they were discussing the
Sunday school. One boy was indig-
nant over a text his teacher had given
him to explain.
ITS a Chinese puzzle, anyway" said
the boy to the Chinese minister's son.
"In that case" said the little orient
al, II guess | can tell you all about
it. What Is the question, anyway"
The Sunday school student, the son
Of a naval officer, looked at the little
Chinaman and answered:
This is it: What's the meaning of
the Bible question: In my Fathers
house there are many mansions?'
The naval officers son felt confident
that he had "stumped" the minister's
sen. But he reckoned without his
host. The little Chinaman looked with
contempt at the American.
why, don't you know what that
means? In my Fathers house there
are many mansions| That is an
apartment house"

Losses in Great Battles.

The death roll in South Africa is
long enough, but we must hearken
back to our own Civil War for the
story of great carnage on the battle
field. AT Gettysburg more men were
killed than in any other battle of the
Civil War; 1910 Union soldiers fell,
1852 Confederates, total of 5.662 and
those who died of wounds are not in
cluded. The total Federal death list
OF the war was 359,528; the Confeder-
ate losses amounted to 1885, ,735. The
bloodiest battle of the Franco-Prus-
sian war was Gravelotte, where the
Germans lost 4,449 killed and mortally
wounded, the French much less.
though no figures are kept; the total
German losses of the war were 28,277
killed and died of wounds, the total
French losses, though greater, are not
known. The loser in war seldom
has accurate records.-Boston Herald,

WASHINGTON, May 29.-In the course

ington (NId.) referred to a secret un-
derstanding existing between the

When To5a3v (Mass,l demanded proof

\, ellington said that under the circum-
stances it was difficult to present tan

could be found in the secret archives of

that under orr form of government no
such understanding could exist and as
the secretary of state had emphatically
denied the existence of any alliance or
understanding he believed the country
would accept his statement as true.
