CONFIDENCE

learn from the comptroller of the currency
that, on Sept 9TH of the past year, there was
on deposit in national banks the sum of So
o3I ,463 900; and at the same time, there was
held in reserve the sum of $500, ,56S,S22. The
plot has thckened somewhat since the comp
troller's report, and there were several baby
panics on Wall street. If a real panic had set
in, the national banks could only have paid
twenty five cents on the dollar This all goes
10 show that our stock of confidence is fully
equal to our stock of prosperity So far as
see, our prosperity is based confidence, and
our confidence is based on wind. If the wind
should become boisterous, our little craft would
sink in deep water | thank the Lord that
have no money to deposit in national banks.

A COG SLIPS.

Under an act of the legislature of Illinois,
agencies for finding employment for the unem
ployed be run in cities at the expense of
the state An agency opened in Chicago some
time ago had twenty-five thousand applications
for positions, but was only able to find posi-
tions fol- nineteen thousand. This object lesson
seems to refute the newspaper assumption that
work is lying around loose, seeking some one
to take hold of it. | thiub it strange that,
when factories are running full time, and pros
perity is fairly on the jump, six thousand
working people in one city are idle; and that,
too, when the state is helping them to find
jobs. The trouble with prosperity Is that it is
too lofty.

SHE'S HERE TO STAY.

A Wal! street fnancier says that part of the
money striugency of Wall street was occasioned
bv the demands of the South and West for
money to move grain and cotton, and that the
money sent out would soon return, and strin-
eency would br succeeded by plethora. This
goes 20 show that Wall street hnancier don't
know any more than he ought to. That hnan
c1er don't know that the farmers have tnat
money III the local banks, or else have slipped
out and b ught land in the short grass region
OF Kansas and Colorado. If any man don't
believe that tie Wall street money is in the
hands of the farmers, why, l can prove it by
nne-tenths Of the Republican, papers OF Kansas.

"BENEvoLENr ASSIMILATION. "

Last fall, when broom corn began to move, it
was worth $40 per ton. After a time, price went
up to 500. Farmers parted with their brush at
500 or under A syndicate was formed that
cornered the whole product. Now, broom corn
is worth $500 per ton, and single brooms may go
to SO or 75cents each.
This is case of pure "beuevolent assinil-
aton,' and is done for the good and glory OF
people who raise broom-corn or who are clean
ly enough to sweep their dwellings. 1t has not
developed yet to what church this syndicate be
longs, but, according to past prccedents, some
church will get share of the ''swag"
When Aaxseed began to move in these parts,
1t was worth 70 cents per bushel. After the

DEBT.

The authorities report that the national in
terest- beaing debt is 81 ,o45, 900, 900, and the
non ninterest. bearing debt is S3S3, 200, 900. 1t
is mystery to me why the government is so
partial to an Understanding debt. The 3S8
million dollars on which there is no interest
are just as good as the dollars on which there
is interest. The government pays out in inter
est about thrty-fve million dollars per year.

money thrown to the dogs. And there is not

GREAT BENEvOLENCE.

The men who invented Thanksgiving and
Christmas days have earned the everlasting
gratitude of the poor of all generations. Used
to be the poor never got square meal alruless it
was filched or furnished in Jail. Now, the
battered waits of humanity get two square
meals a year-one On Thanksgiving day and
one on Christmas, last Christmas, the rich of
New York, including Helen Could, set up
great feast, to which gutterdom was invited.
1t is needless to say that those invited did full
justice to the FEAST and are in good condi-
tion to live comfortably till next Thanksgiving.
Whoever says civilization is not advancing is
away off, and ought to be enjoined. Why, if
the poor got more than two meals year, their
hides would crack.

THE GOLD SKIPPER.

Oue cant believe anything till seen, and
tlen not certain till it is felt. We have been
told that when the trade balance in our
favor, gold would flow our way, and vice versa
Now, we had an enormous cash balance to our
account last year, and gold is going off to Eu-
rope, and, so far, nobody is able tell why
know but tnev WON'T tell. AS near as am
able to make out, gold is going to Europe to
pay interest and dividends. After while, when
we have no balance, Europe will step in and
foreclose her mortgages on our railroads, facto-
rics and other 'infant industries, y and then we
will be up the stump OF hollow gum tree.

From Lyons, France, and mt Retail
May Sell for ms Much ms a

"The costliest of all sausages," said
man familiar with the trade, accord
ing to the New York Sun, sis Lyons
sausages, imported from France.
Lyons sausage sells in Paris at two
francs and more a pound. Here 1t is
sold at so cents to one dollar pound.
Lyons sausage is also produced in this
country. That made here is even finer
than the imported, but sells here, how
ever, for somewhat less.
Lyons is rather a large sausage. 1t
is put up in the largest size hog castings
and it is made of beef and pork. The
meats used in making it are of the very
best. and they are prepared with the
greatest care. From the beef all the
sinews and veins are removed, and
there is left only the selected parts of
the meat. The beef is chopped very
fine, so fine as to make of it practically
a paste. The pork used is from the
back fat of hogs. This is not chopped
fine. as the beef is, but is cut into irreg-
ular shaped pieces which show in the
sausage when it is cut. The spices used
in the seasoning are of course of the
choicest. The Lyons sausage is hard

A Pet Fox Terrier Did Not Relish

Masters Home.

Not long ago very fat spaniel was
introduced into the house where fox
terrier had always been the master
The latter was told, however, to be-

bully him. So the two seemed fairly
friendly and in the end got in the habit
of taking short rambles together, says
the Buffalo Express.
However. the fox terrier was evil

on one occasion came across bank or
wall which was easy enough to leap off,
but there was greater difficulty in re-
turning. The fox terrier sprang down
the bank and enticed his heavy COM
panion to follow, with the result that
the latter could not get back, while the
former, by reason of his greater activ-
ity, was easily able to do so.
Now the terrier saw his opportunity
returned home and cruelty left his
companion lamenting. Never did the
former seem happier or gayer than on
that day when he had once more the
sole run of the house. and he sulked
when later on the spaniel had beer

brought home.
Since then the fox terrier has repeat

satisfied with nothing less than a col
lege training, though that is good in
it's way, and / would know history and
geography and literature with enough
arithmetic to attend to my own ac-
counts and business affairs should oc-
casion require. If / were woman

management without a good working
knowledge of cooking and cleaning and
sewing. If / were a woman ] would

generally conceded to lie within wom-
ans domain"

man, 81 would inform myself upon the
topics of the times and current events.

latest books, the latest plays, little
about music and little about art,

any of these things. Then when my
