ILLINOIS GETS NEW BANKS.
State Has 14e More National Insti-
tutions Now Than in March,
1oOO-Capital Increases,

washington.-A bulletin Just issued
shows that remarkable strides have
been made in organizing new banks in
Illinois during the last five years.
Since March IA. 1900, there have been
organized IN Illinois LAG national banks
with a total capital of $S,675,000. or
these 100 have capital of less than $780,
900 each and the remaining 46 more
than $4,000 each. Eight more banks
have been established in Illinois than In
all Of the Pacific states washington,
oregon, California. Idaho, Utah. Ne
vada, Arizona and Alaska), and ia
more than IN all Of the New England
states. The total capital of the national
banks organized in Illinois since March
IA, 1900. is s3.59O.OO greater than the
combined capital Of all Of the national
banks organized in New England dur
ing that time.
There are only three other states in
the union which show more national
banks established during the last five
years than Illinois. They are Texas,
with 2S5 new banks, representing total
capital Of $12.4s0,0OO; Pennsylvania.
with 277 new banks and total capital
Of $21 1897 900, and Minnesota. with 166
new banks and total capital amounting
to $5,611 900.
In the United States 1881 national
banks have been created since March IA.
1900, and the amount which they rem
resent In capital is $154.982. 800.

FRUIT TREE NoURIsHMENT.
What Il Taken Out Of the Ground In
Growing and Maturing
the Fruit.

The Cornell experiment station bul.

spect to the Care of Fruit Trees" shows
that the plant food contained In 20
crops Of apples Of IS bushels per tree.
and 35 trees per acre, when the leaves
that are formed are also taken into the
amounts to 1887 pounds OF
nitrogen, $40 pounds Of phosphoric acid
and 1895 pounds Of potash. Prof. Voor-
hees shows that 20 years continuous
cropping with wheat, assuming an aver
age crop Of is bushels per acre, and
seven pounds Of straw to three bushels
of wheat. would remove $50 pounds OF
nitrogen. 211 pounds Of phosphoric acid
and 32i pounds of potash. We can thus
compare the results of 20 years cropping
of errles. cfter the production Of trees,
capable of bearing such crops. has taken
large amounts Of plant food from the
soil, for the 20 years cropping Of apples
has removed more than twice as much
nitrogen, half as much again Of phos.
phoric acid, and three times as much
potash as the wheat crops during the
same period. It Is evident, then. that
an orchard will far more rapidly deplet'
the fertility of the soil than the con
tinuous cropping In wheat. Any farmel
will understand that 20 years continu
Gus cropping In wheat would be ba'
farming and would result in soil deple
ton. How much more then does tn
continuous cropping in apples depict
the soil. Burn the hardwood Of an appl
tree and you will fully understand tn
amount of potash removed from tn
soil In the wood alone.

Colebrook, Conn.-So firm has been

that he has become insane, and he has

Taylor has been blind since middle

give up his vocation as travelling

his sight might be restored. So great
was his belief In the efficacy Of his
prayer that he was positive that some
day he would again be able to see light
and the green fields and running
brooks.
Recently he awoke and was amazed
to see the bright sun shining through
his window.
"It is sight" cried the old man, and
he began to pray.
But the Joy was too great. When
he gazed out of the window and saw
fields and trees spread out before him
as he had seen them years ago, he
could not believe his sense had actual.

For hours he prayed on his knees

Has it ever occurred to you the
number of times day the mother
kisses her infant son, coddling. pet
ting, caressing and folding him, oh
so tenderly, to her loving breast?
The little fellow in kits may be
mischievous and often troublesome
morsel of humanity, always getting
hurt, but no matter how serious the
wound, kiss from mother is an all
healing balm and even in his childish
slumbers should sigh escape her
darling the sweet caress is imprinted
upon his chubby dimpled lips.
Johnnie in knee pants and first pair
of suspenders feeling very much a
man grows perhaps trife careless,
but still does mother long for her boys
return from school when the curly
head will seek her lap and soiled lips
put themselves up to be kissed.
Abbreviated pants, likewise be-
rufHed waists are again eschewed for
something a trihe more manly and
noisy Jack is to be sent to the boys
academy. His younger sister herald
the news with joy, for their now
treasured dolls will be spared many
broken nose, while Tab and her
kittens may spend their days in peace.
Mother it is who presses again and
again her darling lips to her own and
Jack in his scrawliug misspelled let
ters always closes with "Stacks of
kisses for mamma"
Three years have passed and the
course complete, John, no longer
rolicsome Jack but tall fine looking
youth who blushingly borrows his
fathers razor, again takes pthe home
abode.
Now alas, a change has come, and
mother beholds in admiration the
bearded man she calls her son, her
dear heart aches and the lips no long
er plump and ruby, culver for-the
once impetuous kiss of her darling
boy. Shame then on the young man
who through thoughtless or willful
negligence, false pride or for any
cause whatever, neglects this little
token of love to the mother who has
cherished, educated and fitted him for
the very position which apparently
bars out the lacking tenderness.
Does he care less for the faithful one
who has so carefully tided him DER
life's rough placesf Perhaps not,
indeed / am happy to say that, gen.
orally speaking, such is not the
case.
We are most of us in the mad rush
for the mighty dollar and life's duties
are often pressing, but remember, my
boy, little kiss in the evening, and
an occasional unlocked for tenderness
in between will not take long, and oh,
the Joy it brings to that mother low
ing heart The happiness which it
enshrines there will repay you ten
thousand fold for thissilent declaration
which means so much. Joan Clayton
