The past lasses by savings banks In

quasi public corporations of Mains. 1t
follows, therefore, that the proposed
measure Is designed to protest the trus-
tees of savings banks OF other states from
the danger of investn ent in Maine sscu-
rifles.
The Indulgence OF this altfuistic
tendency, together with the exposure OF
the state necessities, ana the evident in
tension to make the corporations pay the
dehcit, may create a distrust of all Maina
securities, both public ami quasi public.

To THE EDITOR: It was the privi-
lege Of the writer, while on a trip
to the Big Bend country of the Mis-
souri, river, to visit the Washburn
Ignite coal mines at Wilton. Many
people have an underlined idea that
somewhere in North Dakota a vein
of Ignite has been found that is a
better fuel and can be more readily
burned in ordinary coal stoves than
any heretofore discovered, but Just
where and how I think is a hazy
proposition.

Your correspondent is talking

tries OF our sister State Thereare,
however, other features of social

only time to say to our readers, that
if they go to North Dakota they will
not find open saloons. The State
is dry-too dry, they say If you
want a drink you must either carry
your favorite beverage along, get
in touch with the boot logger in
each locality, or be taken with the
collie and say to the druggist, con

A leading politician at Fargo said
to the writer that in his opinion the
opportunity for the loss of the State
to the Republican party was thro'
prohibition. The Republicans are
divided on the question, and he
thought that the Democrats and
Populists, by joining the Republic
cans who favor high license, might
carry the State.
The most obtuse observer can see
that prohibition does not prohibit
in North Dakota. Between the iag
wagons on the border of Minnesota
the so-calleG soft drinks shipped to
the interior, and the more convince
ing appearance of jugs and bottles
in the remote settlements. a high

viction that there is something out

| North Dakota to decide bv constitu-
tional enactment. what it's citizens

It is said by a correspondent Of the
London Telegraph that the habits of
the Turkish ladies in Constantinople
are wonderfully f%astidious. When
they wash their hands at a tap from
which water runs into a marble basin,
they let the water run until the SER
wants shut it off, as to do this them
selves would make them unclean. They
cannot open or shut a door, as the
handle would be unclean. One of these
fastidious ladies was talking to a small
niece the other day, who had Just re-
ceived a present of a doll from Paris.
By and by the child laid the doll on the
lady's lap. She was Mortified, and
ordered the child to take it away. AS
the little girl would not move it, and
no servant was near, and the lady
would be defled by touching a doll
that had been brought from abroad,
the only thing she could think of was
to jump VI and let the doll fall. It
broke in pieces. The same lady will
not open a letter coming by post, but
a servant opens it. and holds it neal
for her to read. If her handkerchief
falls to the ground it is Immediately
destroyed or given away, so that she
may not use it again. Among the
men this curious state Of things does
not exist.

From the Boston Journal: No po-

was because he was wanted.
Hit him, Muggsy!"
Soak him. Swipes,"

Put it on Their smeller,"
These and many other edifying ejac-
ulaticns were hurled at two small
bootblacks who were earnestly en-
gagged in spelling each others faces
with their fists, while a big crowd
stood in a circle about them, in front
of the postoffice.

A COMMON MANIA,

You never can tell. No one sus-
pected for a moment. But you never
can tell. The old gentleman was SO
digniied. When he passed down Olive
street in the mornings they used to
say Of him: Il wonder who that
wealthy banker is?" or, Il wonder
what brokerage firm he is connected
WITH"
He was so dignified. He was so
immaculate. So precise.
But the germ is in the air. You
breathe and you swallow 1t.
Soon they began to observe on Olive
street the Old gentleman was less dig
nified. What did he mean by rump-
ling letters he took from his pockets
and making them into little spheres?
And then his cane! The funny way
he began to manipulate it!
Up goes the paper sphere! Biff goes
the cane! Bang! goes the paper
sphere.
Every day the same old story. Bif!
then Bang!
Mental alteration? Nothing of the
kind.
Simply baseball mania.
He bats way all his correspondence
in this nj He also maintains a
batting average. Every miss is a
time at bat" and striking the paper
sphere is a base hit. He is his own
Official scorer. He is impartial. The
old gentleman really has a good eve
and he is batting now we'll over the
300 mark.
This is a confession. Mention it to
the old gentleman if you like, but if
he kicks you don't complain to the
police.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The Chicago paper that asked its
Laramie correspondent to send by tel
egraph 800 words quoting J. Pierpont
Morgan didn't know the man as well
as do three-fourths of the reporters of
the country. j.. Pierpont couldn't be
seen by anybody smaller in import
anCc than the managing editor of the
Chicago paper, and he would have
found the railroad and financial prince
chilly enough to have dispensed with
iCe-making machines. 1t may be that
P%ierpont is afraid of saying something
that will come back at him when he
runs for office. and it may be that the
reporters questions make him tired;
but one thing is certain, the reporter
that gets a chance to fire more than
three questions at Mr.. Morgan has
earned his salary.
