That Busted Bank.

Many peple will suffer losses from
the closing of the doors OF the Big
Bend National bank at Davenport last
Friday, with depositors' credit OF
$3.50, 900. The bank was one Of the
Oldest in Eastern Washington and
held the unlimited confidence of the
public. The reasons for its failure
have not yet been made public
whether over capitalization, poor man
agement, dishonest officials or leak
age. Very likely it was the latter, as
many a strong business has been
ruined by the leakages that creep in
and use up the profits. May be it was
too large an expense account, perhaps
a Sinking OF duty here or there, or
gradual sloughing on the. part Of the
whole management which slowly but
surely undermined a business that
ought to be making profit. We be-
lieve, at least, that we could make
living on $780, 900 Of most anybody's
money. We feel ashamed OF the man
or men who, possessing the confidence
Of the people to such an extent, Sc
cure their money on trust and then
lose it either foolishly or maliciously.
They held the boarded savings Of old
men and women, who depended upon
them for existence. They held the
first dollars of some young man who
had just started to get ahead in the
world and who will be discouraged by
the blow. They held the money OF
men and women Of all classes who
can i'll afford to lose it. They have
stolen and thsy have corrupted, and
the depositors pay the price.
We record the instance as being one
OF unusual moment in Washington,
Tor it is rare occurrence for bank
vt any prominence to close its doors
in this state. As a class the bankers
are conservative, energetic business
men with conscientious regard fol
their position.
In Ritzville the financial instltu.
tions are especially strong, being
backed by men Of integrity, influence
and high financial credit.
Thomas w. Lawson's "Frenzied
Finance" in Everybody's Magazine,
is quite an elaborate, dramatic &C.
count OF the operations OF Wall street
and disclosures OF the dealings in
money, which, like the heather
Chinee, are full OF the ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain." The
gentleman has now pending against
him suits aggregating $500, 900,
brought by the Standard Oil Co.,
New York Life, Mutual and Equitable
Insurance companies. He claims he
he can substantiate all his assertions
and the public will watch the pro-
ceedings with interest. But in the
meantime his story is getting quite
unhealthy for the companies, if true,
and Everybody's is doing several stunts
in building q large circulation.

There il one danger to American

ern exchange, that hasn't come to
the notice OF the war department.
"The night air at Cayey is decided
ly cool, and government blankets
come in handy. There are also many
other government supplies which ap-
peal forcibly to the native population.
But there Ia an indigenous Porto
Rican product that appeals still more
forcibly to the soldier, namely. Porto
Rico's senoritas. If one of these la
dies expresses Il desire for poncho.
a blanket, hat or any one of a
dozen other things. the chances are
that the poor soldier finds himself
wholly BILE to resist the masked

ally gets what she wants for a small
sum, or, as is more often the case,
a sweet smile or few pretty Spanish
words.
Every Mttle while the officers make
the rounds of the town and collect
no end of government supplies from
private houses, but the Cayey girls
have such winning ways that they do
not remain long unsupplied."

"Some enterprising dealer in canned
goods could make small fortune"
said visiting lumberman, reports
"by going into the northwest and
putting up tree ants as q condiment.
No, I'm not joking" he continued,
"and what's more, the product would
need no introduction to the people
of that region. All through the lum-
ber districts of Minnesota and Wis
consin' ants are regarded as a great
delicacv. and the only trouble is that
they can't get enough of them.
don't know why it is, but men who do
hard manual labor in cold climates
acquire strong craving for some
thing sour, and the big, brawny
choppers and teamsters found out
long ago that ants were palatable
substitute for pickles. They use only
color and found in immense quanti-
ties under the bark of dead trees.
1t is not very hard to collect a quart
pail full. and after killing them by
scalding they are spread on board
and dried in the sun. When ready to
eat they look like coarse, brown pow
der and have very agreeable, aro-
matte smell.
''of course, it is impossible to de-
scribe exactly how they taste. but
the general favor would remind you
of some fine fruit vinegar, and if you
have any squcamishness over the ma
ture of the dish it doesn't take you
long to forget it. l can't see. how
ever. why there should be any objec-
tion to dried ants as table delicacy.
They are perfectly clean and certain

DR.. Joseph Walsh, of the University
of Pennsylvania. saw the Passion Play
at Oberammergau. and one evening
lately he entertained party of friends
with his impressions of the spectacle,
relates the Philadelphia Record. "One
day while we were staying there he
said, my sister and | were standing
on bridge that crossed stream.
when we noticed picturesque Tyro-
lean peasant on the bank. He was a
big, handsome fellow--As handsome u
specimen of physical manhood as
think l have ever seen. He saw that
we were watching him, and he re turned
the compliment by sizing us up. and
smiling. My sister was carrying =
parasol, and this slipped from her hand
and fell into the stream below.
'rhe big peasant, without a mo-
ment's hesitation, waded out into the
water, rescued the parYol. and re-
turned il to us. We learned later that
he was one of the Passion Play actors,
an interesting experience, wasn't it?"
"Oh. don't know" remarked one of
the Doctors friends. whose bump of
veneration is not largely developed.
"If had been telling the story / should
have made the fellow play the part of
St. Peter. In that case he might have
simply walked out on the water for the
parasol instead of wssing in and get
