I am now a firm believer in that old

negIecting his duty and letting things
run az loose ends and that the man who
eats bananas and throws the hides on
the sidewalks for better man to slip
upon was going to get harp the same
as the rest of US fellows. But l have
changed my mind. The other day
saw one of those bristly mortals with
porine expression on his face MUNICH
ing bananas and carefully depositing
the skins on the sidewalk. He had left
a trail of yellow hides behind him OBJ
livous to the fact that this world was
not built for him alone. He was gnaw-
ing the fruit and looking in the window
at the same time. Something cut Of
the ordinary attracted his attention, so
he stepped back to get a second look at
the object, and planted his foot square
~ uron the banana peel that he had
just dropped. and up he went like Gill
roy's kite. He cut Up some flip flaps
that most any acrobat would have been
proud of. and when he got ready to
come down with us again he alighted
on the hack Of his neck. He howled
like Zulu Indian full Of flrewater, and
All the satisfaction nc got out of the nv
ISLANDERS was merry ha-ha. He gath
cred up his bag of bananas and went
limping off down the street with a
hicough in his gait. It is an old but
true saying that experience is a dear

lects viii learn in no other. [ have
strong hopes Of that fellow. for | really
Thick that when he was inverted on the
sidewalk some of his brains got dis
lodged in his feet and worked down in
to his head. He may not know just
how to use gray matter in his cocoa
mr. for some little time, but | am in
hopes that he will eventually get used
to that full feeling UP under his hat,
and the next time he starts out to have
a solitaire Iicnic on bananas he will
deposit the skins and the parts he has
no use for in some proper receptacle,
and not undertake to carpet the Kings
highways with them slippery side up.

Another Zig i-irherlan4 Company o.
9anizsd in Maine.

Attempts have been made during the
past Two or three sessions III the T, eois
azure looking To a reduction III th- rax
oA savings BANKS. Interested persons
advanced arguments before the com
nliit@es on banks and bankine setting
for tire claim that the tax rate i'm
posed by the law OF 1888 is now 400
high and that The banks ARE unabit
~ pay Fha Same ana maintain the
present. rate Of interest to depositors.
But' although many legislators ad-
nltted the soundness of the arguments
set up By the banking interests of the
state. It was felt that the financial
condition Of the treasury Of Maine
would not warrant sealing down III
the savings bank tax. And eoreA-
quantity the law of 1893 has Remained
intact. This law provides 4 tax of
seven-eignths Of l FER cent. upon a.
posits, less certain securities wholly w
partially exempt by the laws of the
State.
From 1887 down to 1898 the tax i'm
posed was three fourths of rer cent
upon deposits, deducting therefrom m
amount equal 10 the amount of limited
States bonds and shares of corporation
stocks, such as are by law Of this.
state free from taxation to the stock
holders. When this law was amended
IN 1898 and the rate increased one
eighth of ] per cent. il was thought
the banks could afford to nay the in
crease and yet be able to maintain the
cate Of interest then paid But the
reverse was the case. The income
from So uTities had been dronping wear
hy year and with an increase in the
state tax the banks found they could
not continue to nay 4 ana ) per cent
III dividends which they had been 10
ing. So that. during the past decade
the interest rate has been reduced hv|
nearly every bank in the State.
In 1890, out of the 81 banks then
doing business three banks declared
a dividend of per cent; seven paid
Az per cent; AZ paid per cent. and
only two banks paid per cent. In
1901. however, the average rate Of
dividends was only $50. only six banks

banks paid z Per cent, one raiG ao.

and one paid per cent.
The total resources nc the banks in
1890 amounted 10 S5Q,9d1527.60, ana Tho
total taxes raid the State that wear
aggregated $500 1882. While the rate
Of dividends have been growing smaller
the State tax has been growing larger
in proportion to the increase Of de
posits in the years succeeding. For in

A pit once exhausted or difficult to follow, because the vein led back too far, was abar- d0nsd. So numerous and so certain and immediate were the results of working these diggings that few Of the men labored for wages.
 The Ccrnishmen who e:nigrated to Wisconsin were not prospectors in the American acceptation of that term. Ac- custcmed as they were to working for wages in their own country, they lacked the enterprise and energy so Chara cteristic of the American miner But they were steadier and more per tinacious in their work.
