Now comes Berkeley doctor with an
edict 'gainst the cat.
He has no love for Thomas. He'd
refuse
To let Tom or Maria occupy the stage
at night
The pleasure of their company he
would lose,
But will the people stand for it? Who
gave this man the right
To butt in and disturb the gentle

He says there is no harmony between
the cat and bird,
Although there's mewsic that gives
him the blues.
Right there we all agree with him, but
can he show permit?
Can he make war whenever he may
choose?
Will not the poets rise and say he has
not made hit
If he crusades against the gentle
news?

MILLIONAIRE AND HIS BANK
Rich Depositor's Requisition Un-
hOnOred.

we'll known millionaire in New
York hastily entered, a few days ago,
a bank where he carried a large de-
post. He had left his pocketbook
home and wanted cash. The bank was
sorry, but could not accommodate him.
1t was past o'clock, the vaults were
closed and the executive staff had gone
home says the New York Post.
The subordinate officers held a quick
council, and one of them thus describes
the result:
eve piled up every cent we had In
our clothes, then we went through the
clerks. and had every man in the
establishment turn his pockets inside
out. The customer was many times a
millionaire and could secure from us
any day whatever sum he needed. But
the time locks were set, and the best
we could do was $50 in cash. He
stuffed the roll in his pocket and hur-
riedly went on his way. We did not
even ask for a memorandum, knowing
that he detested details and that a
subsequent word with his secretary
was all that would be needed to reim-
burSe the bank"
The incident may be taken as Illus
trating, first, the limit which is drawn
in the control of banks by great tinan-
ciers, of which so much has been lately
heard; second, the ACCESSIBILITY Of pre-
senting checks before 3 p. NJ, and,
third, the absorbing power of great
wealth and credit over the surplus cash
of small capitalists.

Breeder spoke of the many parallels
in the Bible, and the fact that in many
of ChrIst's teachings this WAS the fun
damental thought: He that soweth
sparingly reaps sparingly; he that
soweth generously reaps generously. 1t
pays to be cheerful giVer, and the
browning argument is that the Lord
gave himself that the world might live.
He was rich, but became poor that
we might become rich. DR.. Breeder
said that everything in the Bible point
ed conclusively to his text, that 1t was
more blessed to give than to receive.
DR.. Breeder then explained in a gen
eral way the object OF the gathering.
Before him was a chart, containing
numbers corresponding to gifts from
$3.50 down. BY removing them the out
line of the new building could be seen.

1t VIII be interesting to know that the
work of the committee having in charge
the special canvass resulted in the two
and one-half days active work, in Sc
curing pledges amounting to $1,000
With the $1,000 pledged Sunday, and
the $4,000 during the past year. a to-
tai of $500 is in hand, leaving a bal
ance of $1,000 below the $4,000 re-
CURED in order to secure some of the
larger pledges. The association trus-
tees will meet Architect f. ii. Wether-
ell, of Oskaloosa, Tuesday night, and
after carefully scrutiniZing the plans
will adopt them providing they can see
no way OF bettening the building by al
terations The trustees Will then be au-
thorized to advertise for bids, and let
the contract as soon as possible. In adj
ditlen to the architects figures, how
ever, Will be added sum necessary for
extras. and IL the amount is not then
equaled, the committee will continue
its work until the entire sum Is
raised.
The different lodges. clubs and socle-
ties of the city have not been appealed
to for assistance as yet. excepting the
aides Auxiliary of the association.
The fund obtainable from this source
will be used for furnishings. Some OF
the clubs have already expressed
willingness to assist. The subscriptions
of railroad employees to date have
netted sum of $1,000, most Of which
comes from among the Iowa Central
