INCREASING STOCK.
Banks Are Enlarging Their
Capital Stock.

The time limit of law requiring state
banks to have not less than $4,000 cap
ital will expire in March of next year,
two years from the time the law went
into effect. The minimum capital here
tofore allowed for state banks was S.
OO0 but the bankers asked that it be
raised to $40 900 in order to make the
banks safer, and the last legislature
did so. A large number of banks had
less than $4,000.
These smaller banks are now rapidly
increasing their capital Since the first
of January, less than 80 days, II banks
have made increases, although one of
them was not required. These banks

horace Mann.

1t isn't every boy or girl who knows
that they are indebted TO Horace
Mann for freedom from the kind of
punishment at school that was once
termed licking" Horace Mann did
more to improve the public school sys-
tenn than any other man. His own
state felt the benefits of his efforts
first, but the system he organized
soon became general throughout this
country, and even in England
Perhaps his work in this direction
grew out Of the difficulty he expert
euced in obtaining his own education.
His parents were very poor people,
living on a small farm in Massachu-
sets. and young Horace was obliged
to work very hard with the rest of the
family He had 70 work so hard in
fact that until his fifteenth year he
could not go 10 school more than two
months in any year. In those days.
too, there were very few subjects
taught. and the few books that HOr-
ace needed were not provided free, as
all are now This was very discourag-
ing to little Horace. for he had to
braid straw to earn the books his
studies required Most of his early
education was gained in a small
library in the town, where he found
some books on history and theology,
books so dry that no scholar Of to-day
could take the slightest interest in
them.
Horace persevered, finally passed
through college and became a great
lawyer Long before middle age he
devoted his life to the improvement Of
educational methods. and our wonder
ful system Of schools stands to-day as
the greatest monument a man could
have.

Kimonas made from large, square

The center Of the handkerchief
shows delicate pink blue green, yell

in pale Persian colors or Dresden eff
fects, with the color Of the center pre-
dominating in the conventional or

the style lies in the fact that the
points OF the handkerchiefs are
brought to the neck line and then
turned over 10 form a small, shawl
shaped collar.

A BRIGHT World.


Some say this world is old. old world
But it's always been new to me,
With its boundless range OF ceaseless
change,
And hope Of things to be.
A new friend takes my hand
When the old ones pass away:
The old days die. but the light IN tpe
sky
Is the dawn Of another day.
Some say this world is a cold, cold World,
But it's always been bright to me,
With its hearthstone fires and warm de-
sires
For the things that are yet to be.
And II I must labor | walt,
And trust TO the fields | have sown,
For I know there is truth in the promise
OF youth
shall some time come to my own.
Some say this world is a bad, bad world,
But it's always been good To me,
With it's errors there live dear hearts
that forgive.
And hope for the things to be.
This world IS not old nor cold,
This world is not sad nor bad,

night.
And say to your soul BE glad.
