A Pail Full of Cash.

David Long, laborer walked into
the Second National Bank of Danville,
H., yesterday afternoon, placed his
dinner pail in the teller's window and
said he wanted to make a deposit. Then
to the astonishment of the bank Off
cials he opened the pail and showed
that it was full of soiled and crumpled
bank notes of an almost forgotten is
sue. There was, little less than $1,000
in the pail, and every dollar Of it was
of the old war issue of thirty-five years
ago, and worth 100 cents. The bank
retained the greater part of the money,
but some of it was in such condition
that it had to be sent to Washington
to be exchanged. Long, VINO is about
70 years old, refused to make any ex-
planation of how he came into posses
sion of the money. Crumpled up in
some of the bills were small feathers
and bits of straw, which gave evidence
that the money had been at one time
concealed in a bed.-1ndianapolif

Historie Old Church Burned.

At Cremona, Italy, church was de-
stroyed by fire the other day. In the
early morning a careless verger left
burning taper in the organ loft. The
flames spread rapidly and priest say
ing mass had to interrupt the sacrificial
rite and escape with the consecrated
elements and in full canonicals to an
other place of worship. The destroyed
church, called San Michele il Vecchio,
was erected on the site of temple of
Hercules by Queen Theodelinda as far
back as the seventh century and con-
tanned some valuable paintings and the
oldest organ in Italy.

Kfsnet.

There was once man who eschewed
everything which could be considered
immoral or dangerous. He did not
drink, smoke or chew tobacco; he was
a tea-and-coffee-t e-tetaller; he did not be-
lieve in dancing or cars; he never
drove a horse that could go faster thap
five miles an hour; he did not feao
novels because he was afraid they
would keep him awake at night. Then
one day he licked the flap of an en-
velope in an incautious manner, and it
scratched his tongue and gave him
blood-poisoning, and he died.

oHEcK GAME AND wENY.

He Boosted Too Soon That He Was

This story is vouched for by New
York commercial traveller who came in
at the denouement.
James Thomas, a farmer, who lives
on the Housatonic river, in Litchfeld
county, Connecticut, came home from
the postoffice early last week while the
family was at dinner, with his broad,
rudy countenance wreathed in smiles
Of satisfaction.
AS he entered the kitchen he struck
an attitude as though desiring to call
particular attention to himself.

asked, as he glared from one to an
other around the table. when came

MR.. ROOSEYEHT.s MISTAKE.

Missourians will be gratifed 10 hear that President
Roosevelt is more interested in Missouri than IN any
other State that has heretofore been Democratic ana
that he rightly perceives its Importance as "A vast EN-
pire in the heart of the nation"
The Presidents belief. however. that his party can
carry the State this year and eject a Republican SEMI
tor to succeed Mr.. Vest will tend to amuse the great
majority of Missourians. They cannot but see III
such a confident conviction on the part Of the Presi-
dent 4 proof of his ignorance Of political conditions
and public sentiment in Missouri.
The Republican movement u elect a United States
Senator from Missouri is led by Colonel Dick kerens
and Colonel Bill Phelps. under u lobby agreement
perfected in the railroad Offices of the latter. Colonel
Dick Kerens is the selfimposed candidate of this
Kerens-P Phelps combination to place 4 Republican in
Mr.. Vests Senate seat. The more respectable element
Of the Republican organization in Missouri is sick and
tired Of Kerens and tried recently to turn him down.
But the Kerens-P Phelps railroad alliance was too strong
for them, and Colonel Dick still has the whip-hand OF
his party.
II President Roosevelt thinks that Missouri voters
are going to send Colonel Dick Kerens to the United
States Senate he is making the mistake OF his life.
There is probably no Republican in Missouri who
would stand a show OF election. but, of them all.
Colonel Kerens is weakest in his appeal to Missouri
voters. He can control fourth-class Postmasters, and
his friend, Colonel Bill Phelps. can influence n certain
proportion OF the voting population susceptible 10 the
eloquence of a free railroad pass. but the Kerens-
Phelps power ends here. The great mass of the people
are hostile to the lobby combine in the Senatorial
campaign and Will effectively voice their hostility at
the polls. President Roosevelt is temperamentally
sanguine, and he is permitting his naturally hopeful
disposition to impair his judgment In this instance.
Missouri, "a vast empire in the heart Of the nation
does not propose TO be represented In the United
States Senate by such a man as Colonel Dick Kerens.

p1ERPoNr MORGAN AND THE KAISER

When Emperor William of Germany and Mr.. ].
PierpOnt Morgan Of America anne face to face in n
close and interested study Of one another at Kiel a
few days ago, the German Emperor undoubtedly had
the advantage in the matter Of material from which
to learn q profitable lesson.
The American hnancier was the stronger and more
compelling personality of the two. By his own sheer
masterfuIness he has reached a station in the world
of finance that makes him, in one sense, the equal of
Kings. He must be reckoned with as a world power.
so to speak. To William Of Germany he stood as 4
figure of greater menace than any monarch Of Europe.
This is because he and his plans must be reckoned
with as trade factors; and the greatness and solidan-
ty Of the German Empire are based very largely upon
German trade.
This American man Of business, the grandson Of a
dreamful poet and mystic, could contemplate William
Of Germany with a greater serenity Of soul than was
maintained by William In the
With the millions at his command, he sees his way to
accomplish the things Of his desire, no matter what
the opposition Of William or any other European
ruler. There was no occasion for him to be awed by
royalty in the recent Kiel meeting. Royalty, in his
cool and confident eyes, was only the figure of a
man who had inherited a crown and yet who was not
so powerful as he, a plain American whose native
forcefulness had brought him into equality with
Kings. The real majesty Of the occasion, taking
majesty as meaning a product Of conscious power,
rested on Morgan, not on William.
Perhaps It may have been a sudden and discon-
certing realization Of this truth that sent the En-
peror William away from the conference with some
thing Of a thoughtful air. This is not difficult TO be
lieve, remembering what the two men represented to
one another and the advantage Of position enjoyed by
Morgan AT any rate, the meeting Of the two men
was so emphatically that of probable antagonists. and
Pierponr Morgan was so entirely master of the situa.
ton, that the Kiel conference must take rank as enc
Of the most picturesque and thoughtproYOking en-.
counters in history.

KEEPING THE AGREEMENT"

Announcements from Washington tell Of another
agreement" between Republican State Chairman
Atkins and National Committeeman Kerens. This
time the post offices have been distributed, presua-
ably in a ratio consistent with the prestige of the two
leaders.
A week was not allowed to elapse after the State
Convention in Jefferson City before both Atkins and
Kerens, leaders of the two factions, left Missouri for
the pie counter at the national capital. They con-
sidered that the most important business of the sum-
mer was the distribution Of Federal offices TO their
henchmen who helped run the convention
Just what bearing the last 'dcker" has with the
agreement made in the Missouri Pacific offices will
not be disclosed-at least voluntarily-unt the Cen
eral Assembly meets in Jefferson City next January.
Awaiting an official announcement from the party
organs, it is only fair to assume that the action OF
Kerens and Atkins in Washington is in furtherance Of
the lobby agreement" Kerens will have more rea-
son than ever to believe that he will receive the Sena-
torial nomination from the minority members of the
General Assembly.
Otherwise, why the active interest Of the National
Committeeman in the present campaign? Atkins had
control OF enough delegates in the State Convention
to abrogate the agreement" If he had so wished.
That he did not do so is patent evidence that Kerens
has perfected the arrangement whereby he is to Sc
cure the minority nomination.

A PROMISE HARD To KEEP.

81 regret" said President Roosevelt in his Fourth
of July speech at Pittsburg, that a measure OF
reciprocity with Cuba is not already embodied in a
statute or in a treaty, but 1t win be, Just as sure as
fate" And great applause greeted this manfuI
declaration.
The temper manifested by the Pittsburg audience
to whom the President thus indicated his determine
ton upon just dealing with Cuba was that of a vast
majority Of the American people. Public sentiment in
this country demands that reciprocal relations be es-
tablished between the United States and Cuba which
shall insure prosperity to the latter. There is no
sacrfcial unselfshness in this spirit Americans
know that a reduction of tariff duties on Cuban
products means benefit to them as well as TO the
Cubans.
The only injury threatened by reciprocity with
Cuba is TO the monopoly enjoyed by the Sugar Trust.
Unhappily, however, this trust is so influential with
the Republican machine that it is extremely doubtful
whether even the President can induce a Republican
majority to act for the good Of the American and
CEhan peoples in opposition to the monopoly interests
