l Before leaving, he must place under the | control of the banking house the amount named in the letter, either in ! cash or it's financial equivalent. 1 After paying for his steamer passage
 he carries with him from this country
 only sufficient money to cover inciden-
 tai expenses. When he reaches London
 he calls upon the correspondents of the
 banking house, presents his letter and
 draws as much as he may wish for cur | rent expenses. He is. required to fur nish no further identification than a | signature which shall be similar to the
 one affixed by him at the bottom of the
 letter of credit. The sum he has drawn
 is debted on blank page of his letter, so that he knows just what his balance is at any time.
 When he reaches Paris he produces
 the same letter and repeats the opera tion. The second amount Is also debit ed. At Berlin he does likewise, and so 1t goes, whether the place be Rome, AL
 giers, Yokohama, Calcutta, Melbourne.
 Durban or any one of 800 places that
 might be named. If there is no stated
 correspondent in q place, the place is not tooo small provided it is in the civ
 ilized world and there is a bank there.
 Nor is this all. The banking house, through it's various agencies, becomes sort of sponsor and personal guardian. The letter of credit becomes in reality a letter of introduction and opens up to him many courtesles. If his friends in this country wish to write to him they address the letters in care of the Lon don banking house whose letter of cred it he carries, and that house, through it's mail forwarding department, sees to it that all communications intended for him are sent to whatever point of his itinerary may be his abiding place for the time being.
 More. than that, should he become ill while on his travels, his letter is guar antee that some one representing the local correspondent will take an interest in his case, and should he die, his finan- cial sponsors will engage that his re- mains are decently cared for and his personal effects guarded.
 When Mir. Jones returns to Boston he calls on his bankers and surrenders his letter of credit. The various amounts he has drawn are added, he pays com- mission of per cent. on the amount he has drawn, and the incident is closed. He has travelled around the world, car rying with him nothing but sheet of paper, which would be virtually useless to any one else, and yet this paper has enabled him to keep himself in funds wherever he went, and has been guar antee of cordial greeting even in the most remote corners of the globe,
 The bill of exchange differs from the letter of credit in many particulars. E is simply an order for so many pounds, or marks or francs, as the case may be, given on some foreign bank, at the cur rent rate of exchange. It is negotiable, as a rule, only at the banking house named in the bill of exchange. and 1t entities the bearer to none of the social features which usually accompany letter of credit. It does not even con- tain the name of the bearer.-Boston Herald

CANAL TREATY PROGRESS.

National interest centers to some ex-
tent in the senate's consideration of the
istkmian canal treaty, now being dis
cussed in executive session previous to
ratification or rejection. There is no
fear of the latter as the republicans are
heartily in favor Of it and the democrats
are making but feeble resistance to It,
Thus far Senator Bacon OF Georgia has
against it, claiming that it un-American
in that it does not meet all that was
sought by the senate amendments. On
the other hand the republican leaders
are satisfied that 1t provides for an
American built, an American controlled,
and an American guarded canal, with
the naturalization feature in the interest
Of the worlds commerce, and that 1t is
a vast Improvement on the Clayton
aged the treaty with skill and foresight,
has clearly expounded its superior fea-
lures, and has no fears at all as to its
ratification. He and other leaders are
perfectly willing that the opposition
shall have all the time necessary to de-
bate its features, tho they do not care
to encourage filibustering tactics. How
ever, 1t is impossible to fil:buster to any
considerable extent in executive session,
and Senator Lodge hopes to get final
vote on the treaty not later than FRI
day afternoon.

members of the cabinet take precedence
of him. After time the president
passing from one to another OF his
visitors reaches the new congressman
and grasps his hand. On the first meet
ing the congressman says he has just
come to pay his respects and the pres
ident gives him an enthusiastic greet
ing, signifying that he is glad to see
some one who does not want favor.
ON his second visit he will not find
himself so cordially greeted. Not that
the president will be anything but
agreeable and courteous. but 1t is not
safe for even president to be too
civil with congressman. His attitude
might be interpreted as conveying en-
colIra cement.

QUARANTINE TROUBLES.

Iowa people seem to have passed
from a position of extreme fear o.
smallpox to one OF extreme careless
ness. At least this inference is war.
enforcing quarantine regulations In
ranted from the reports of trouble ir
the cities Of the state. notably at Bur
lington, Des Moipes and Council Bluffs
a auction from the Nonpareil of the
latter city, appearing in this issue
showing how quarantine has been vto-
lated. The authorities are perplexed In
their efforts to enforce it in order to
prevent the spread Of the disease. 9th
err cities than those named are having
similar troubles. Meantime the disor-
der is spreading and new outbreaks are
frequently reported. 1t is in fact per-
meating the state. In the November
Bulletin of the state board Of health
DR.. Kennedy reports outbreaks In Oc-
tober at more than thirty points. 1t is
widely diffused thru the state. 1t is
true the disease is in mild form; the
people have come to understand this
and have less fear of 1t, Many OF them
are immune from vaccination. Hosts Of
others refuse to resort to this precau-
ton, and are menace to the general
welfare.
One OF the difficulties in enforcing
quarantine is lack OF system or lack Of
impartiali;y in applying 1t. II stories
current awhile ago when a case devel-
oped In Marshalltown are to be credited,
some Of the exposed were put under the
ban OF quarantine while others were
allowed to go free. The people are in
clined to resent quarantine regulations
that do not regulate" 1t requires a
great deal Of wisdom to properly dis
criminate in cases OF exposure in order
to keep the people and the board of
health in touch with each other. They
ought to work together to preserve the
public health.

there is hardly one farmer in three that
is interested in butter making while the

industry thrive if it would add few
cents per hundred pounds to the price

ing thing about the proposition is that
congress- should be asked to drive one

easier, to tax one man for coloring oleo-
margarine yellow when the butter max
err colors his product in the same way

FAREWELL re CIRCUIT BILL,

The recent discussion Of the Grout
bill in the convention OF live stock men
has called attention again to that piece
of proposed class legislation. Under the
guise OF pure food law that aims to
prevent imitation OF butter the Grout
bill proposes to place tax OF ten cents
per pound on all oleomargarine that is
colored a rich yellow color. Such a
tax would be and is intended to be pro-
hibitive. No charge can be brought
against the product as being unwhole-
some. 1t is made from beef products
and is as clean and wholesome as any
meat could be. 1t is used In place of but
ter and since by the cheapness Of the
cost of its production is made available
for use on many a poor mans table
when butter to him is a luxury beyond
his means.
1t is claimed that oleomargarine is
colored in imitation of butter and sold
as butter to many an unsuspecting GUS
toner, thereby proving unfair compe-
tition to the poor farmers COW. A law
requiring all oleomargarine to be sold in
packages plainly marked would be fair
and no hardship but it has become a
we'll established prejudice with man
kind that he wants his butter or butter
imitation colored rich yellow. The
color makes it more palatable to him,
hence practically every pound of butter
made in America during eight months
Of the year is colored by some artificial
coIoring to meet the public demand.
Butter made this time of the year, in it's
natural state would nearly resemble I'M
colored oleomargarine and law that
places a prohibitive tax on the coloring
of the one is nothing but ,viscious class
legislation If it does not prohibit the
coloring OF the other. Both products
are used for the same purpose and both
cater to the same prejudiced public
taste. Both when colored are no less
wholesome and pure.
The discussion of the live stock men
has probably settled the fate CT the

WHEN ROOSEVELT WAS ARRESTED.

Cassius NJ. Barnes was once terri
torial governor OF Oklahoma and was d
candidate for disappointment to sue
coed William Jenkins, strange as it
may appear in view of the incident
given below. Barnes has a strong fol-
lowing in Oklahoma, but that he should
aspire to the governorship again at the
hands of the president was more than
his friends expected of him. He Is the
only man who ever issued warrant
for the arrest of President Roosevelt.
Under this warrant the president was
arrested, but explanations followed and
his release was immediate. The Incl
dent is related by writer In the New
York Tribune:
It was during the rough riders re-
union at Oklahoma City In 1899 that
the incident occurred. President
Roosevelt was then vice presidential
candidate and governor Of New York.
Governor Barnes rendered him a fine
black horse, which he accepted for his
personal use during the reunion, at
least. On the day of the parade Col
onel Roosevelt found that some of his
men lacked saddles. and, without ado,
the Oklahoma governor invited the.
New York governor to take some of
those belonging to the militia. This
was done, but the militia, on finding
that the rough riders had taken more
than their share. asked that the saddles
he rafOrnad Words betwaan the pri-
Yates followed, and as result brazen
young lieutenant Of the militia asked
Governor Barnes for the arrest Of
Governor Roosevelt. The former, being
of quick temper. issued the writ. When
1t was served the New Yorker bent
from his horse, saying: Please con-
vey my compliments to Mr.. Barnes and
say he shall have all of his animals re-
turned, even to the one I am riding.
The rough riders can walk" The
rough riders did not walk. nor did they
ride the animals furnished by the
governor Of Oklahoma.

Thinkina Versus Worrying.
TSt. Louis POST Dispatch.

Many business men imagine they are
thinking of their affairs when in fact
they are only worrying. Worry is fear
with minimum OF thought and fear
is not only an unfaithful emotion, but
most destructive of effective thought
OF course, it needs no wisdom to teach
that worry does no good. That is gen.
orally recognized and accepted as an
undeniable truth. That 1t does posi-
tive harm is just as true. tho not all
men like to admit 1t.
