Famous Between carouses.

The cynic will smile at the official
celebration of George Morlands cen
tenary by a show of hundred of his
works at the India Museum, South
Kensington. That sad scapegrace-
who painted 1900 pictures in the in
tervals between his carouses, sold
most of them and died a beggar at
forty-one on Oct. 20, -assuredly
never expected the posthumous pat
ronage of the Board of Education.
Nevertheless, the board has done a
wise and popular thing in honoring
Morland-one of the few British
painters of real talent who have ever
enjoyed the sincere admiration of the
crowd.-London Telegraph.

CHAPTER XVII.

l am not going to apologize for our
hero, nor am going to gloss over his
faults with any special plead
ing No man is either wholly good OF
wholly bad; certainly Jack was not
wholly good; he was human, very hui
man, and blessed, or cursed, with a
hot, passionate blood, which made him
more liable to trip than most men.
But, at the same time, this in justice
must be said of him, that he very
rarely sinned in this way.
Tonight his blood was at full heat;
the love which had sprung up like d
tongue of fame in his heart burned
and maddened him, and to this newly
born love was added the disappoint-
ment and bewilderment of Una's sud-
den disappearance. And, too, that he
had been overstrained and upset, and
well, there are the excuses and apol-
ogies, after all.
Somewhere about two o'clock, when
the club was full with men who had
dropped in from theater and ballroom,
and amidst the popping of corks and
click of pool balls, a certain feeling
came over poor Jack that he had taken
quite as much, and more, of the spark
ling juice than was good for him; and
with that consciousness came the res
olution to go home.
The game was just over, and without
word he put up his cue, motioned to
footman to bring him his hat, and,
scarcely noticed in the crowd and
hustle, slowly descended the broad
and indeed magnificent staircase, for
which and its palatial hall the club
was famous.
He descended very slowly, with his

THE BABY,s WALK.

y. ~ L
My papa took me out to walk,
thought it would be sport;
But papa's legs are very long,
And mine are very short.
And my papa began to talk,
And my papa forgot
He had a baby out to walk
Oh, how had to trot!
My papa went on fast and fast,
He dragged me like cart!
l ran so that my little bones
Felt coming all apart.
My papa like giant walked;
He walked with great long strides
/ didn't just know how to fly,
And I fell down and cried!
My papa thinks it strange I'm tired
With such a little walk!
I'd like to tell my dear papa
If 1 knew how to talk
I'd tell him when he says,
cts strange how tired you are!'
COED ten times as much as he
In going just as far!

large number of state banks in the
country towns into national banks,
and the organization of a great many
national banks to succeed private
ones. Probably the principal reason
for this tendency is the great increase
in the number of trust companies
which have been organized in great
mum bers during the last five years,
and the rapid growth of the older
ones. These companies organized I'M
der state laws, originally designed to
provide for companies doing a strictly
trust business, are taking advantage of
the liberal character of those laws,
and q very large portion of the new
organizations are merely commercial
perhaps, but in reality doing compare
lively little strictly trust business. The
laws of~the different states, partic-
ularly in regard to the cash reserves
to be held and ioaning money on real
estate security, are so liberal that or
CARNATIONS of this character have
great advantage over the national
banks in Inducements they can offer
tn cir customers
ut is naturally to be supposed that
any one contemplating the organization
of a new bank, other things being equal
viii be inclined to do so under the laws
which allow the greatest freedom Of
action and where his business Will be
subject to the least governmental inter-
ference and control The question of
what shall be done in the way Of con-
troll or these new trust companies Is a
very important one. It-WOuld be a great
mistake for the different states to allow
the national banking system to be
broken down or seriously weakened by
new organizations which are able to do
so because they are less carefully ex-
amined and controlled by the states
than the national banks. The national
banking system has furnished more eX-
cellent banks for doing the regular COM
mercial banking business. It is not
likely to be an improvement to have
this replaced by any system of state
banks. Much less is this likely to be
the case if the Involvement to go into the
state system is greater freedom from
control weaker reserves and less care
full management. The modern trust
has been called the highest
example of modern commercial Organi-
cation and of many of the largest and
best companies this is doubtless true.
The regular trust company business is
a very important part of any financial
system and calls for the highest degree
of character, honor and ability.
when the trust companies attempt
to add not only ordinary commercial
banking, but-in many cases under
writing and promotion of all sorts of
new enterprises, the case becomes en-
tirely different. 1t can hardly be said
to be reasonable or proper regulation
of the banking and trust company
business to allow the organization I'M

der the same law of concerns who
not only have the power to act as
trustees in important capacities but
which also have the power, if the
management is so reckleSsly inclined,
to do a general commercial banking
business with little or no cash reserve,
and even to underWrite. as has been
done in a recent notable instance, an
issue of bonds and securities several
times in value the combined capital,
surplus and deposits of the so-called
trust company. In another instance
which has come under my notice trust
companies organized under the laws of
certain states in the east engaged in
the organization of national and other
banks in the western states and at
tempted to pay up the capital of the
small banks organized with certificates
of deposits in the So-called trust COM
pany. 1t is true most of the older
trust companies have been honestly,
capably and splendidly managed in
every respect, their officers and di-
rectOrs arr men of the highest char
acter, who can safely be trusted with
any business whether it is the nature
of the trust, commercial banking or
promotion or underwriting. 1t is not
such concerns as this which need con-
troll and regulation. Their business
will be we'll and properly done any
way, and probably will come within
the terms of any law attempted to
control this class of business. Such
concerns as this need not have any
thing to fear from regulation and
should not oppose the attempts which
are being made to make trust COM
panies which are doing a commercial
business carry reasonable reserves and
submit to such regulation and control
as would make their business safe and
afford protection, not only to their de-
pOsitOrs and creditors, but to the en-
tire country which is so vitality inter-
ested in the soundness of all such in
situations.
IF there is any reason why a ma
tional bank should maintain reserves
against commercial deposits the same
reason will apply to commercial ac-
counts in any other bank, whether
called trust company or not A trust
company with a large business in it's
trust department, if it also has bank
ing or savings department, owes it to
its customers and to the public to see
that the banking department is not so
conducted as to- in the slightest de-
gree, endanger its trusts. The very
existence of those trust obligations
should make its banking department
ra-conservative and careful as so
many of them are. The trust company
whose chief business is in its banking
and savings department, and is care
fully and conservatively mana ged, is
more interested than anyone else that

dishonest men, shall not be given sim

enough so as to induce the banks to
take out nearly the maximum amount
permissible or possible. The maximum
percentage of possible circulation was
issued in 1882 and was 81.6 per cent.
This gradually declined to 27.5 per cent
in 1892, and has since then steadily in
creased to 54.75 per cent in 1903 An
additional inducement for banks to SUBJ
init to federal control is the greater con-
fdence in which the banks under ma
tiOnal supervision and control are held
by the people. This has steadily in
creased since the creation of the system
as the result of the examinations and
published reports, and that this is justi-
fed is shown by the comparative state
ment of the failures of national and
state banks. From the date of the or
ganiza ton of the national system to the
date of the last call for report of condi-
ton, January p, 1904, there were or
ganized 1888 national banks. OF this
number 404 became insolvent and 1,499
have gone into voluntary liquidation,
leaving $50 in operation on January
p, 1904
From an estimate based on $50 in
solvent national banks whose affairs
have been finally closed, dividends
amounting to 71.31 per cent have been
paid on claims proved amounting to
S101, 724, $40. Including in this estimate,
however, loans paid, etc. the credi-
tors received an average 1885 per cent
on their claims. This would make a
loss of 21.45 per cent to the creditors,

CITY WILL PAY 1T.
The $13, 200 WaterwOrks Judg-
ment Won't Be Resisted.

1t was decided by the ways and
means committee Thursday night to
recommend to the council that the city
pay the $4,000 judgment secured by
the water company in the South To-
peka hydrant rental case. This action
was taken on the advice of City Attor-
ney Spencer who reached the conclus-
ion that it would not be advisable to
carry the fight up to the United States
court Of appeals
The law provides a way for paying
this judgment by means of a special
tax levy for the purpose. The proba-
bility is that the city will make q spe-
cial levy Of mill for this purpose at
its next adjustment of the tax levy.
City Attorney Spencer says: When
came into office I found this case
here with the pleadings all made up
and the issues drawn. There was moth
ing for me to do but go ahead and try
it as best / could. i never had any
confidence in the contentious Of the
city, and did not expect to win I
therefore advised the committee that
it would be a waste of money to carry
the case up to the higher courts"
The ways and means committee also
recommended for passage Councilman
lSWendsOn's resolution requiring the
city clerk to furnish to the council
each month statement showing the
current receipts and expenses of the
month, and a comparative statement
of the receipts and expenses for the
corresponding month of the previous
year and the total for the current fiscal
year.
