girth of about twenty-five feet, and un.
der whose branches in 1777 Washing
ton and Lafayette held council OF
war and ate their meals while camp
ing on the place when the American
army was marching from Baltimore
to Philadelphia. is one OF the many
objects of interest shown to visitors
on the Mccormick farm. near Balti-
more. This is not tradition. but a
well authenticated fact. as is abund-
antly attested by the archives of the
Mccormick family.
The first owner of the old manor
was George Councilman, who obtained
possession of the farm through a grant
from Lord Baltimore. The grant is In
pos session Of Mr.. Mccormick. who
prizes it as precious heirloom. Mr..
Mccormick became a member of the
Councilman family by marriage with
Miss Martha Councilman. daughter Of
George Councilman, who recently died
Mt the advanced age of 96 years. The
grant is beautifully engrossed on
parchment and is well preserved and
perfectly legible. The place was
named Mark Alexander's Range lin
honor Of Mark Alexander. Lord Balti.
more's agent at that time. 1t is stu.
ated on the old Blue Ball road, q

SNAKES HAUL HIS BOAT.
Truthful Fisherman Tells story Which
Must Be Believed.

MuSt be Believed.
DIR. Bergesser of Nevada is the pos
SCISSOR of lot of trained snakes which
some time ago he deposited In Tucker
Lake. AS soon as the doctor gets In a
skiff these trained snakes, which have
the faculty of distinguishing their
master from anyone else, swim to his
sliiff, and hooking their tails over the
bow of his boat, haul him to the place
where the bass are playing thickest.
When the doctor prepares to fish
these educated reptiles unhook their
tails and swim away.
After the doctor catches boatload
of bass, these Intelligent snakes re-
turn, hook their tails over the boat
and pull him to shore, always bidding
him good-by with hearty tailshake.
which they hold above the water in
most friendly manner.
This is the reason DR.. Bergesser can
catch fish where other successful
anglers fail.
The doctor also says that he has
noted certain kind Of frog which sits
on the bank and warns the fish not to
bite. and he always has to shoot these
frogs before he can have any luck
fishing.
The doctor is not only a successful
but he is also truthful fisherman, as
persons will realize who read of the
manner of his success as thus stipu
lated.

UNLIKE DEM MOCRATS
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS OF
REPUBLICANS NEVER SHADY.
Sale Of Philippine Bonds to Western
Bank, the Highet Bidder = Demo-
cratic Deal with the Belmont
Syndicate RiddIed.

The fourth installment OF the S3,00O,-
900 of Philippine bonds was taken at
1O1.41 by the Western National Bank
Of Oklahoma City, whose bid for the
bonds was the highest. The fact that
western bank should outbid leading insti-
tutions Of Wall street for these bonds
suggests how the West is rapidly gaining
In financial power and Importance. No
western bank would have dared to bid
for such n large issue of bonds without
being perfectly satisfied that it could find
broad market for them amongst local
Investors. The old financial problem OF
the West was to get money from the
East The present problem OF the West
is to find good channels for the invest
ment of its own money.
By transaction such as this we find
investors in the Southwest become cred
itors of the Philippine Islands. In other
words, they are loaning some of the
fruits of their own prosperity under Re-
publican rule to help along the prosperity
, Of our nations wards in the Philippines.
The security which United States gov
ernment over the Philippines gives to
lives and property. trade and industry,
makes the credit Of the islands good, 80
premium for Philippine bonds. II the
United States government were not SOW
ereign over the Philippines, 1t Is a ques-
ton whether the islands would be able
to float bonds even at n discount, hence
many needed improvements for the isl
nnds could not be carried out. Were
the Democratic party to be successful
IN the election this fall, the owners OF
Philippine bonds would doubtless see a
quick slump in their market value.
Notorious Dem mocratic Deal
1t Is the Republican policy in the case
" necessary issues of bonds, like the war
loan of 1893 and this Philippine bond
ssue, to sell the bonds by popular sub
scription or by public competitive bid
ding for them. This gives the whole peo-
pie an equal chance. and all sections Of
the country an equal chance, to secure
them for investment and to realize what
ever profit their ultimate appreciation
may bring. Under the Democratic plan.
as followed out during the last Cleveland
administration, the government ignored
the small investors, and had no use for
any financial institution west of Wall
street.
