Washington. Oct. 3.-Comptroller Of the
Currency Rideely today bave out the fol-
lowing statement:
The report that l have overruled. or
shall attempt to- overrule. the secretary
iof the treasury in the matter of reserve
on government deposits secured by gov
ernment bonds, is wholly false and un-
founded. Before the decision was reached
and the announcement made by the sec
rotary thatzno reserve need be maintained
against government deposits secured by
government bonds the secretary and
several times had discussed the matter.
and we are in full occord as to the policy
os his announcement and the way it shall
be carried out.
The discretion is joint. The statute
says:
The comptroller Of the currency has
no authority as t6 what reserve shall be
below the amount required TO make good
such reserve. and if such association shall
fail for thirty days to thereafter so make
its reserve the comptroller may. with the
concurrence. of the secretary of the treas
Try appoint a receiver. etc.
The comptroller cannot act without the
concurrence of the secretary OF the treas
ury, and. the secretary cannot act, without
the initiative Of the comptroller. The dis
cretion is therefore joint. and final de-
Tcision must be with the secretary.
The comptroller said he wars entirely un-
chle to account for the origin Of the re-

the subject but thus far has been unable

voted against the "Gross Earn

A kentucky Word.

In the mountains of eastern Ken
lucky when a man speaks of his
wife to a third person he calls her
''um," or when a wife speaks of her
husband she calls him Gum" For
instance, " UNI is going to Saylers-
vile tomorrow" or "'um' shot a
bear yesterday" The word is said
to have originated with young mar
ried folks over 100 years ago, who
were too difident to use the phrase
"my wife, or ''my husband"
While at the table before stran-
gers the husband who desired his
wife to pass the bread or sorghum
would attract the attention Of his
wife by clearing his throat, <fahem,"
"oohum;" and finally degenerating
the phrase to "um," which was the
final understanding when each was
addressed.-Exchange.

Before the lime of Stoves.

Our modern cooks complain of
getting heated over cooking stove
or range, but what would they say
if they were obliged to watch and
swing a crane back and forth over a
rousing and rearing hickory or oak
fire in a fireplace from four to eight
feet across while in the ashes below,
with glowing Goals heaped up there
on, potatoes were being roasted,
bread in a covered skillet was being
baked or a piece of meat was being
broiled on the very Goals without
the intervention Of any gridiron or
spider? If it be true that zone half
the world does not know how the
other half lives" it is a still more
striking truth that the people of to-
day do not know how their grand
parents lived.

impossible for them to reach an
agreement When they filed in from

displeased and proceeded to lecture

Knew What He Meant.

The members of the Amish, a pc
culiar religious sect, mostly agri-
cuIturists, are very numerous in
Lancaster county, Pa. They have
been credited with small sense of
humor, but this anecdote of a polit-
zeal campaign will prove to the con-
trary:
An orator sought to impress a
gathering near Paradise, in that
county, with his logic, bringing
himself down to the level of his lis
teners by a claim of rural birth.
'EWhy, I was raised between two
hills of corn" he declared, '|and
Gods sunshine has ever shone upon
me-"
For a moment there was a pause,
and the politician, fancying he had
made al impression, was about to

Amishman in the rear of the hall
