Olives in Spain.

According to official statistics,

the cultivation Of olive trees IN
Spain in 1903. against an average

Interesting Newfoundland.

The American who happens in
to Newfoundland will find innu-
merable causes for interest and
surprise. The interior of the isl
and is a wilderness primitive and
practically unexplored. A quaint,
slow, uncertain railway traverses
the heart of The island, but for
800 miles of travel over noun
tains, through dense forests and
by the NAPKINS of salt water bays
and estuaries not town IS IN
sight. Herds of caribou, as tame
as barnyard cattle, stand staring
at the passing train. From the
bosom of lake and river trout and
salmon are forever leaping.
Brant, geese. wild ducks, grouse
and many wild birds that migrate
hither in the summer time can be
found all over the island. Here
they mate and breed, and their
goslings and chicks make woods
and waters vocal all summer
londg. Newfoundland, like Ire
land, is innocent Of snakes or rep
tiles

ItaIy's Obliqinq King.

The King of Italy is one of the
leading royal motorists OF the
world. He was the first sovereign
who took to the new sport with
what may be called expert en-
thusiasm. He and the queen
sometimes go out alone, and on
one such occasion they had a
breakdown near an inn at which
there were staying two British
tourists. "A fine car" said one
of these in English to his friend.
More than can be said of the
chauffeur" observed the other.
Z never saw such a wee man in
such a big car" Eyes, but his
companion is delightfully."- pretty,
lucky beggar! l say, let's ask
him if he can give us little
brandy, as this place is out of it. "
q shall be happy to obHge you, T"
said the king, in good English,
and anything else you may hap
pen to require. My kingdom is
larger than its rulerp And the
tourists realized that they had
entertained king unawares.

Weird Ghost Story.

Talking to strange experiences,
Mr.. Stephen Phillips has been OBJ
liged to leave his charming house
in Egham, near Windsor, to which
he had recently gone in search OF
peace and quiet on account Of the
disturbance that he experienced
through ghostly visitants. The
uncanniest noises conceivable Wis
tied us directly we arrived said
the poet and dramatist There
were knockings and rappings and
footballs. Doors banged and were
opened.
Il would be sitting quietly in
my study writing when the door
would open noiselessly. That was
more than a man in the dead Of
night could endure. All the house
hold heard sounds and experience
ed sensations.
Finally his little daughter told
him that she had seen a small old
man creeping about the house. NO
such person was to be found, but
he afterward discovered that, &C
cording to another report, an old
farmer strangled a child so yea
before close to the house. So pre-
cipitately did Mr. Phillips and his
family leave the house that they
did not even stay to take away
their things.

How Big Trees Grow.

One difference between the

THE STATE BANKING
SYSTEM.

Shortly before the election it was
said by an esteemed contemporary
that if the State bank amendment
should be accepted Texas would
be given a banking system which
would afford facilities to every lit
tie town in the State and at the
same time put a lot of idle capital
to work. Besides, large Texas en-
terprises would be financed by
home institutions instead OF with
Texas money first sent abroad for
concentration through trust COM
panies in other States, which Of
course, now levy tribute upon this
Texas money loaned to Texans.
Returns indicate that the amend
ment has been adopted, and il now
remains for the Legislature to enact
legislation to give it effect. The
Constitutional amendment makes
it mandatory that the Legislature
shall by general laws authorize the
incorporation of corporate bodies
with banking and discountlng
privileges and shall provide for a
system of State supervision, regula-
ton and control of such bodies
which will adequately protect and
secure the depositOrs and creditors
thereof.
The amendment itself provides
that each shareholder is to be re-
sponsible not only for the amount
which he invests in the institution,
but also for an additional amount
equal to the par value of his shares,
and, in the event he shall sell his
stock, his individual responsibility
will not cease until twelve months
after such transfer, and that no
charter shall be issued until the
capital stock has been subscribed
and fully paid up. State supervision
of the State banks and personal
liability of the stockholders should
be an assurance that the utmost
prudence will be exercised in their
conduct and that they should COM
mand as great public confidence as
do the National banks, which are
safeguarded by Federal super
vision.
For reasons which are well un-
derstood by businessmen and I'm
anciers some banking concerns
prefer to do business without Ma
tional bank charter, which would
restrict their operations. These
private banks will doubtless take
out charters under the State bank
ing law, as soon as one IS enacted,
as has been done i'll about two
thirds of the States in which the
chartering of State banks IS au-
thorized. At a session of the Texas
bankers last summer some, very in
teresting statistics were presented
proving the popularity of State
banks. It was stated that Maine
has eighty-four National banks and
eighty-four State banks. Massa-
chussetts has 215 National and 238
State banks. Delaware has 20 Ma
tional and II State banks. Georgia
has rs National and POS State
banks. Alabama has IS National
and 123 State banks. In each in
stance the capital and volume of
business of the State institutions
exceeds that otthe National banks.
Perhaps, when the necessary leg
islation has been enacted to give
the Constitutional amendment eft
fective force, State banks Will be-
come as popular III Texas as else
where. Express

CANADIANS WILL PLAY
FAST LACROSSE GAME
Port Arthur Team Depends on Accuracy
of Passing instead of Body Checking

The st. Paul lacrosse club viii have a
different proposition to contend with on
Sunday afternoon at Lexington park
when they meet the crack Port Arthur
team The latter includes the cream Of
players from Western Ontario. and is
considered very fast.
The exhibition last Sunday against the
CalumetS is hardly criterion OF the true
merits of the local team. Over confidence
in their ability to defeat the Chicago ag-
gregation had a great deal to do with the
result. This. however, has had the eff
feet of stimulating the players to put
forth their best efforts on Sunday. and
in future they will not underestimate
their opponents.
Hard practices have been indulged in
this week IN preparation for the event
and the boys in blue and white are de-
ternined to sustain the reputation they
achieved in Chicago on Decoration day.
There will probably be some changes
in the local team. and Brown win likely
be transferred to the home end which is
his regular place.
The local fans may look for an entirely
different style of play from that of the
Calumets. as the Canucks depend almost
entirely upon accuracy in catching and
passing and make little pretence at body
checking and heavy work Some Of the
best men they have are small but dis
play remarkable agility and cleverness in
handling the stick
