ABLE CHECK KITING.

Finally Gained the Time He Wanted By Drawing on the Sultan of Tur- key.
 Tt was in 52 that my story will be laid, and in the good old town of Grip pie Creek will be the scene" began Hugh In those days a thousand to- day might mean ten the next day and the cash was far more essential to the closing of deal than any certified check that could be produced I was in a position like this one day the first week in September that year, and it was case of my getting $25,000 in cash in one hour or lose a deal that meant 100000 to me. The mine was there. the lode had been struck pay ore had been taken out and the mine was mine for $25000, as the tenderfoot that owned 1t had to go back to the East that night. He was q game lad and knew he had good thing but had to give 1t up. He also knew that if he did not get the money then he never would. The fact of the matter was he thought he was doing some one and like many another tenderfoot believed that he was getting the best of an old miner I knew what was there. l had tried to get hold of the mine for some time, but could not, so as soon as the deal came up I saw my chance and have that mine, l would.
 But where to get the money? Every banker in the town knew me. l had $200, 900 buried in different mines and I could realize on many of the claims any day. But I had to have 1t that day. Well, I went down to the old City bank, you all remember it, and saw there my old friend, Jim Adams, one of the best souls that ever drew breath. Jim said, want s250O0 right away. Will you cash a sight draft for that amount on Jim Crow in New York? He is friend of mine l said, repressing a smile that came over my face at my own audacty.
 Jim looked up at me over the top of his glasses and without smile an- swered Well I guess so, this time My heart gave a leap. Jim surely knew that Crow never existed, but never

HE AUIOMOBiLE IN ENGLAND.

There is an automobile question in
 England and it is a burning and elcc- trc one. A protest signed by many in terested manufacturers and capitalists is published. It complains that the
 whole industry is paralyzed by existing
 regulations, and maintains that the
 motor-car is infinitely safer for pedes-
 trians than a horse carriage. because it can be stopped so much mere quick miles an hour. it says, can be stopped wit hin twice it's own length In spite of this capacity, the protest goes on to say. motor-cars in England may ohly travel at twelve miles ar hour, with the result that their use is greatly re- stricted. and that manufacturers will not embark money in their production What cripples the industr still worse is the fact that heavy m1tor- cars--i. e. motors suitable for carrying country rroduce-are practically not allowed on rlle roads. In conclusion, the sienars of the appeal ask that the pr sent regu- lations should be taken off, and that ias' cad means should be taken for the identification of cars so as tn prevent r,ckiess driving One oL the special grievances of the English autpnoblists is that they have no chance with the country magistrates, who ate bitterly orrnsed to them on principle, and in- varlalily decide against them whenever they are called upon to answer com plaint. They are getting tired of hay ing to pay damages, and want to h.. We the chance of appealing from the local magnates to a higher and more d!sinterested court.

IHE RIG DIG c ERN.

pr. Neve Foster, an official of the British home office, has compiled the mineral statistics of the world for 1900. He was able to obtain government fig ures from about all the principal coun- tries except Argentina, Turkey, China and Persia. To make up the figures for these four countries he was obliged to use estimates which he himself could take from books, pamphlets and news
 papers published in these countries in
 regard to their mineral industries. Ac cording to his figures, some 4,475,0OO
 persons are employed throughout the
 world in mines, quarries and other min
 eral industries, and of this number
 nearly 100000 belong to the United
 Kingdom, while if the British colonies
 are included the British empire has up-
 ward of 100000 workers, number
 exceeding that reported for any other
 nation. Germany came second With about 73S,O00 aborers, with the United States in the third place with just over half million, though Dr. Foster points out that in this country machinery is used to greater extent than in any other.
 Of the coal the British empire pro- duced more than any other nation, her output being almost 24S,000,000 tons. The United States raised some 245,OOO,- 900 tons. This was more than was mined in the United Kingdom and only a little less than was mined in the en- tire British empire Germany is the third nation, mining about 150, 100000 tons, while Austria Hungary, which ranks fourth, produced only some 40,- OOOoOO tons The United States and Great Britain produced. therefore. very more than half the total of all the coal mined in the world. Taking all the colonies together, the British

BEHIND THE TIM ES.

The Sunday question is asking for Aiken, which was formerly a quiet and sedate place, has become a popular winter resort for people who want to enjoy themselves on Sunday. They enjoy themselves so much and so open ly that many of the native citizens are greatly shocked. The golf links the tennis courts, the polo grounds have re- sounded on Sunday with laughter and talk, and there is no such Sunday quiet in Aiken as there used to be So the local ministers with others signed pe- tition urging the city council to see that the law concerning Sunday games be enforced strictly. The members of the council, however, with an eye to things material, took under consideration the chance that Northerners in Aiken who spend a great deal of money there might decide to make their winter homes in some other place if the police were set after them. Therefore the council has not yet seen it's way clear to take action.
 What the good people of Aiken seem to need is some of the new-fangled preaching, in which the "open Sunday is commended They are behind the times.

Alarming reports have come to Wash ington of the threatened exterminat ton of the deer, moose and caribou of Alas ka because of the reckless and whole sale killing of those animals Through some oversight in the preparation of the code of laws for Alaska no laws for the protection of game were included
 The consequence has been that a num- Der of enterprising but shortsighted in dividuals have been hunting deer in season and out, and killing them solely for their skins. Indians are employed in this industry, and every big snow storm is followed by a veritable slaugh- ter of the innocents The animals are rounded up in the snow and killed by the Indians with clubs. So great has been the slaughter that deer skin brings only forty cents in Alaska The other and more valuable animals are treated in the same way. Congress pro poses to put stop to all this, and a bill will soon be reported to the House, pro- posing set of game laws for that ter ritory. A closed and open season will be established and regulations laid down for the killing of both birds and animals.

Perhaps our export trade isn't going to always increase In February, oW- ing to the great decrease in corn ship ments, to the slight one in the outgoing volume of wheat and to general decline in exports of manufactured products. especially iron and steel merchandise, the total value of the country's exports was twelve millions under the figure for February last year and still more be- meath the aggregate for February, 1900. Even very heavy shipments or high priced cotton did not lift the fig ures last month to the level which the country has come to regard as normal.
