On Sunday afternoon Harriet earle.
the young doughter of Mr. and Mrs N L
earle, had miraculous escape from be-
ing hurt, and that she was not killed is
miracle. The little girl and two other
children were playing in one of the Sec
one story rooms at her parents home,
and they went and sat in one of the win
dows. The screens had loosened in
some way and the little one fell over
backward and lighted on the cement
walk below. One of the other children.
boy, also came near going out of the
window, and was saved only by being
caught by the third of the party. The
little girl who fell out does not appear to
have sustained any bad injury though
she is somewhat sore.
On Saturday afternoon Mrs B Dun
widdie entertained about sixty of her
lady friends in a novel manner. Instead
of the customary cards or guessing
games a unique form of entertainment
was introduced. Each guest was pro-
vided with square red card, stick of
white chewing gum, a tooth pick and
slip of paper containing the name of an
animal. These animals were to be mod
eled out of the gum and mounted on the
card with the aid of a toothpick. The
artistic efforts of the guests occasioned
much amusement and the resulting
sculpture brought into evidence some
peculiar looking animals. Some of the
models we're excellent, however, and by
the vote of the guests the prize for the
best work was awarded to Miss Mabel
Doty of Austin, I'll, for a very realistic
buffalo.

laughter and the pleasure which must

wholesome fun. Their comedians are
funny, but the fun is onest and harm
less. Their balladists sing the sweetest

rendered by two bands and an orchestra
is soul inspiring and treat to those who
love harmony.

That is what our Solons at Wash
ington have been doing the past
week. The Philippine Problem
has had the preference in the Sen
ate with the Cuban question and
the Isthmian Canal awaiting their
turn, close seconds.
Here are three important issues
before the country, issues we dare
to say which could be settled by
body of disinterested merchants.
and settled right, in a fortnight,
But what is the probable out
come? 1t is a good wager that
neither will be defnately settled
during this session Of Congress.
Why? Too many selfish inter
ests hammering at the doors Of the
Capitol, too many special claims
being presented within. Too
much "talkee, talkee," perhaps a
little too much of the "Let them
go to the ID" feeling as one Sen
ator expressed himself in refer
ence to the Filipinos. The only
important matters which seem TO
be definitely settled are that we
are to have a new member of the
Cabinet, that of Secretary of Com
merce and labor, which Bureau is
to include among number OF
other departments that Of the Cen
sus Bureau which is to be made
permanent. There also seems to
be a gene raj agreement of the
Ways and Means Committee that
the War Taxes, with perhaps an
exception upon that of beer, which
will be reduced, will be discon-
tinued. The country will be fully
in accord with this measure.

National Bank Trust.

The North American Trust
Company is promoting a gigan-
tic combination of national banks,
to include one national bank in
each financial center and State
capital. The combination, which
will be known as the American
Bankers Corporation, has been
chartered under the laws of New
Jersey, with a capital of $4,000,
900. The charter provides for a
surplus of $4,000, ZOO.
The scheme is the outcome of
the branch banking movement.
AS outlined the plan and argu-
ments advanced are as follows:
Such an institution has been
chartered under the general cor
poration acts of New Jersey.
The onl y taxes payable will be
the annual one-tenth of one per
cent on it's capital of $1,000, 900.
Its first purchase will be a
large New York City National
Bank. In fact New York City
viii be the practical headquarters,
and from there the regulation
and transfer of the surplus bal
ances belonging to the corpora
tons banks throughout the coun-
try will be carried on. The Off
GERS of the New York City bank
NiIl also be the executives of this
corporation.

exception, perhaps, of the main
or center bank in New York City,
only the controlling interest in
out-of-town banks will be sought
so that the largest possible num-
Der of local stockholders may
share the profits and be interest
ed in the good will of the various
institutions owned by this corpor-
alton. The aim will be to own
in each state the controlling inter-
est in at least one good bank
which in itself will have sufficient
surplus to enable the purchase or
control of several local organiz-
ations.
"The ownership of these insti-
tutions by such corporation will
be sufficient guarantee to the de-
posting public without neccessi-
tating large and vexatious local
capital and surplus liabilities, the
idea being that the smaller the
capitalization in proportion to the
deposits obtainable the larger the
profits. The capital of five mill
ions will be invested in United
States and State bonds."
"The locations and capitaliza-
tlonS of the branch banks will be
so arranged that depositing and
borrowing seasons East, North,
South and West will enure to the
advantage of all. The central
idea is to utilize the large credit
of such an institution by means of
numerous small capitalizations
throughout the country.
"As it would not receive depos-
it's at headquarters, nor directly
transact a banking buiness, a run
on the parent organization would
be impossible. The corporation
would simply stand as the digni-
fled rich owners of numerous
banks throughout the United
States, ready at all times to throw
it's influence and facilities into any
section needing them, and the
profits would be enormous.

WILD AND WOOLLY.

Washington Post, Mr.. James
Lane Allen expressed surprise
that he had received more letters
of appreciation from Texas than
from any other state in the union,
and upon this the Denver Repub-
lican says: mo doubt there will
be plenty of other persons in the
east to share Mr.. Aliens surprise
at the culture evidenced by Texas
novel readers. These persons
still cling to the idea that every
thing west of the Missouri river
is a wilderness of cactus and sage
brush, where the chief amuse-
ment is making the ''tenderfoot"
dance to the music of the cow
boys pistol, and where everybody
speaks the language of Bret Harte
instead of good English. Unfor-
tunately great many authors,
who are writing books and short
stories about the west, do much
to keep this misapprehension
alive. They write as if the con-
ditions of frontier days still OBJ
tanned. They do not try to pict-
ure western life as it really is.
In fact, it is doubtful if the east
ern magazine editors and book
publishers want literary mater
ial that does not deal with condi-
tions that have passed almost
entirely out of existence"
The Republican might have
gone further and declared it to be
fact that eastern magazines and
look publishers do not want good
literary material from the west,
but invite only y such as pertains
to the cowboy" period.
Not long since the writer of
this was requested by one of the
least sensational of eastern Jour
nails to send an article every week
for the Sunday issue, and the only
instructions given was that the
matter should be "wild and WOOL
ly." Such conditions were not
satisfactory, and the order was
not filled, but the columns of the
eastern press-not only the sem
sational papers, but most of the
respectable papers also, and even
the magazines-show that such
trash is to be bought in unlimit-
ed quantities, and though as
rule it has no more relevancy to
existing conditions in the west
than to those in the east, it all
goes, and the more untruthful
and absurd the writer makes his
story, the better it seems to take,
with the eastern public.

The reopening of the Trans

greatly to the worlds business
conditions. With improved and
modern machinery it is said the
output may reach 500, 100000 an
nually. When it is remembered
that the worlds output aside from
the Transvaal is only $500, 1000,
600, it may readily be undestood
what the operation of these mines
means to the worlds business.
