NOT PAID TO BE GOOD
The Bankers Association Does Not
So Treat Criminals.

New York, Aug 26.-J. B. Branch, sec
retary of the American Bankers Associa-
ton, gave the following statement to-day
to the Associated Press: -
The report which has appeared in good many
papers that s. Charles Becker, who is serving
sentence for forgery, will be paid a salary
or pensioned by the American Bankers Associa-
tion, to stop his in crime, is absolutely
untrue. He is now at San Quentin penitentiary,
California. Through the efforts of the assocf-
alton he was tried and convicted some years ago
for depreciation member of our organiza-
tion. 1t is we'll known that we spare no expense
to incarcerate a professional criminal who oper-
ates our members.
The association never has, and never will
pay dollar to this. class Of people through
tear of their future crimes.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Two Cumming Orioles.

Do you want to know just the cum
ningest thing that ever two little birds
did? Let me tell you-because it's true.
The birds We're beautiful orioles, and
you know the curious pretty nests the
orioles make swinging like soft, gray,
silken bag from the high branch of
some elm tree.
Just three springs ago the orioles had
come to this grand old elm tree that
shaded the porch of quiet farmhouse.
They had picked out the very branch
they wanted, and now they must hunt
for material to build their pretty home.
So they flew about, chirping and call
ing and busily gathering stray threads
and moss when-oh, joy! What was
that beautiful, long, white, silky stuff
on the porch just under their elm tree
home? They flew down very cautious
| ly. They fitted this way and that.
Dare they take some Of it for their airy
home? One more peep-yes, grandpa
was sound asleep. There was no doubt
about it. But how should orioles know
| that the long white whiskers belonged
to him? They ventured nearer; they
pulled one hair; they grew bolder and
pulled another. Two long, beautiful,
silky threads for their nest They flew
off to the tree and then back for more.
Grandpa still slept. The little rogues
were having such good time when
Aunt Lucy happened to spy them She
laughed aloud, and of course that
frightened the birds, and grandpa woke.
But wait; just hear the rest. Aunt
Lucy was so pleased at what the cute
| little orioles had done that she deter
mined they should have all the pretty
threads of hair they wanted. So that
very afternoon she took some of Ma
rvs golden locks, Il few more of grand
pas and some of her own glossy black
hair and spread them on bright cloth
on the porch Then she warned the
family to keep very quiet and see what

Paper That stops Bullets.

A series Of interesting and in their
way almost unique firing trials has
been undertaken by the Swedish gov
ernment. The purpose of these expert
ments was to examine the effect of
shooting against pasteboard. The tri-
ais were conducted on the wharfs Of
the Swedish navy in Carlserona, and
the target used was prepared one of
millboard, against which fire from re-
volvers, rifles, carbines and machine
guns was directed.
The pasteboard, which was three
inches thick, resisted completely the
bullets fired from the small arms, Mt
was perforated by the projectiles from
the machine guns. The experiments
may be said to have given very inter
esting results. Bullets from the car
bines used are able to penetrate wood
en- planks five inches in thickness, but
they could not penetrate the paste
board, which was only three inches
thick

The biggest beaver dam ever seen in
Maine is now attracting hunjreds of
people to Caribou, on the Aroostook riv-
er. Two miles from the village the bea-
vers have built Il dam of logs and mud
250 feet long, turning the river back
upon the lowlands for distance of
three miles and thus creating a great
lake. Trees foot In diameter have
been cut down by the beavers, the
branches trimmed off and the trunks in
some mysterious manner brought to
the dam and submerged. The dam is
better than many on the river that
have been built by man, and the Carl
bou people are rather proud of 1t. Over
thousand beavers have worked hard
