business visitor in the city Saturday

RAISING ELK FOR PROFIT.
This Species Is the Only Deer That
Can Be Easily Reared in Captivity
Industry Created.

Elk. are successfully domesti-
Gated in the eastern states, says
Country Life in America. In fact,
they are the only deer that can be
easily reared in captivity in prac-
tically any climate. They will live
without shelter, and can subsist
on hardy diet of bark and twigs
during the severe winter, when
the domestic animals would not
survive. They are prolific and
their young thrive. All this rails
es question of considerable Geo.
nomic Importance. The pilgrims
when they landed on Plymouth
rock found elk at home in New
England down to tidewater. Why
not make use of the waste land
of the east again, rehabilitate it
with elk that can, if necessary,
find sustenance winter and sum-
mer on the barren pastures of the
abandoned farms, and thus create
a new industry of raising elk for
profit? According to Prof. Viii.
liam T. Hornaday, who, of all au-
thorities in America, could per-
haps speak with the most weight
on this subject, there is no doubt
thai an industry of raising elk
in New England may be created.
provided only that there is a mar
ket for elk venison at a higher
price than beet-say, SO cents a
pound retail.

mitted him to overdraw. IT is inrateria1
whether il is ra'd ont or check or not. IF

than if if were mere verbal request. The
overdrawirg and the ravnert Of the check

such case the morev of a hank has been mis-
appropriated bv its cashier without the
knowledge or consent of IFS officers, there is
neither law, nor equity in permitting the re-
cipient to retain what he has received with
out right The plaintiff may consequently
recover the amount shown to have been
overdrawn." 80 Maine. 4Se. Franklin Bank
vs. Byram; 63 Am. Dec. 644
These solemn announcements made by the
courts in all parts of the United States, and
under all circumstances practically the same
wherever the subject came up, are submitted,
because it is common for bank customers to
ask permission to overdraw their accounts,
and it is difficult to explain to customers
mind why he should not overdraw.
On the other hand when the customer can
read it, as above written, i'll the exact Ian
guage delivered by the courts and judges on
the bench while performing their solemn
official duty, it will certainly convince him
why he should not ask to overdraw his ac-
count with the bank. The customer should
not ask the bank to overdraw Or to grant
some privilege which cannot be extended to
ALL. To allow free overlooking would be
ruinous If the customer has not sufficient
funds to deposit to meet the requirements o.
his business, he should apply to the bank fol
loan, and arrange credit with the bank
upon proper security SO that the amour
agreed upon can be entered as deposit tt
his credit.

OVerdraftS on a Bank
As Defined by the Laws Decisions
The Reasons Why Overdrofts hould Not Occur

'An overdraft arises when customer of
bank draws therefrom more money thar is
standing to his credit in his account with the
bank" Fl Am. & Eng. Enc. Law, 1923.
customer has a perfect right to draw all of
his balance at any time, but no 1nore.''
"a bark has TO right to allow its deposit
ors tc cverdraw, ard thus paw out uror their
checFs the monevs of other derositors ar6 Of
stock FOLDERS of The bark" Am. & Fry.
Enc. L. S34.-I7 Am. St. Rp. 377-sS4, Gull
yer VS.. Marks.
"Drawing check upon bank in which
the drawer has no funds, ard utterirg it, is
fraud, both on the person to whom it is ne
gotiated and on the bank or which it nay
be drawn; Boone on Banking Sec. 1o7. The
Court said in Peterson vs.. Union Natiora1
Bank, t'It is ranifest1y impossible for the
officers of a bank to keep ever in memory the
state of each depositor's account To GER
tain extent, confidence is reposed in tie de-
positor that he will not present for raynent
a check which he has not provided furds to
meet, and the abuse of that confidence is dis
honest" The court further said: cit is not
easy to see how it is less dishonest in the
holder of check drawn by another to pre-
sent it for payment when he knows the draw
er has no funds in the bank to meet it. His
knowledge makes him party to the fraud
of the drawer, and he becomes a willing
assistant therein.'' 81 Penn. State Reports
page 2o6-oI Am. Dec. TAT, Peterson VS.. I'm
ion National Bank.
''And the practice of paying overdrafts is
said to have no authority in sound usage Or
in law; Boone on Banking, Sec. 1877.
The courts further say: !'The absence of
deposits was sufficient notice not to pay
the check, for checks are always supposed to
be drawn previous deposit of funds;
Story on Prom. Notes, 64I./ "Such is the
usual course of business, and the very wide
departure from it, by the bank, in paying
this overdue check out of other funds than
those of the drawer, cannot be justified. 1t
was attempted to prove custom to pay over
drafts of solvent dealers with banks, but it
failed; and if it had not failed, such custom
should be abolished. Our banking institu-
tions are generally conducted by boards OF
directors, to whom stockholders look for the
proper use and management of the capital
invested
eff subordinate officers and clerks pay
checks, which are properly drafts on fund:
deposited, when there were no funds of the
drawer on deposit, the capital of banks would
be liable to perversion to purposes and il
modes that were never contemplated, elthe
by the legislature or the stockholders. Tha

PULPIT MOVES BY A RAIL.
Preachers Edifice Moves About
Church and Returns to Position
at End of Sermon.

Movable pulpits can be found
in various churches throughout
the country, but the movable pull
pit recently presented to st.
PauPs, Cheltenham, is the only
one worked by machinery. A
tramway, 1S feet in length, has
been laid down in the chancel,
and Immediately before the SER
mon the pulpit and it's staircase
move along it slowly, noiselessly,
and almost mysteriously, and
take up prominent position, re-
turning to the original position
beside the organ at the conclu-
sion of the preachers discourse.
There is 80 feet of wire rope appa-
ratus employed, the structure be-
ing caused to move on what is
known as the spindle" principle.
The innovation, striking as it is,
is a most convenient one, the
preacher being able to address his
congregation practically in full
view of everyone. The pulpit is
lighted by electricity from the in
side, the coils conveying the cur
rent being paid out as it moves.

white teaching and example.

white teaching and example.
Anxious to learn all I could
about the marriage customs of
the people, says the author, I
asked one of my friends: "How
many wives have you?'
'Three," said he.
"How did you get themw
"Well, I gave a horse for the
first one. She was not very good
looking, so got her for one horse.
The second one was good looking
and a good cook, SO I paid two
horses for her. The third was
beauty. She was a good cook and
she had a fine disposition; 1 gave
three horses and a gun and sad
die for her. She was a beauty"
After narrating this in a busi-
nesslike fashion he turned to me
and said: "ApaV-a'-as. how many
horses did you pay for her"
"Apawakas" is the Indian name
of my wife. Itmeans White Ante
lope. l was rather taken aback
to have the tables turned upon
me so quickly, but determined to
make the best of the situation, so
proceeded to tell the Indian the
white mans method Of obtaining
a wife.
>Afterward the explanation was
given Of setting up housekeeping,
and told him that the mother-in-
law provided pillows, blankets,
and many of the necessary things
for the house.
When this point was reached
the red men could not restrain
their laughter any longer. They
shook with amusement at the
Strange customs of the white men.
After they were able to control
themselves, one of them said /:

NESTS IN BORNEO.
Writer Tells Of Experience in Robbing
Feathered Creatures Of
Their Homes.

Edible BIRDS nests are found in
the clefts of rocks or in under
ground caves which are frequent

Gregor, in writing of a bird-nest-
ing experience he had in Borneo,
says: "Off we went with about
dozen Dyaks, as the little bronze
aborigines of this part of Borneo
are called, for guides. The en-
trance to the cave was so small
and so elevated that / had some
difficulty in reaching it. After
we had travelled for some little
distance we came across the in
evitable stream. The ground,
which was to a great extent com
posed of the bed of the stream,
was rough and irregular. We
were lighted on our way by torch
es carried by our Dyak guides.
At last we came to a passage that
seemed a veritable eye of a needle,
so hard it was to enter, for it
looked so narrow and confined
that 1 despaired of ever getting
through it. When 1 fairly got
squeezed into the breach / could
force myself neither upward nor
downward-for that was the di-
rection of the passage-and there
| was, suspended like Moham-
med's coffin or a trussed fowl. By
dint of wriggling, however, / at
last found myself at the top of the
passage, minus a certain amount
of skin and some buttons from my
tight fitting khaki coat.
''Still on we logged for the best
part of a mile, when, 10 and be
hold! the caves in which the birds
were breeding, and which were to
be the limits of our underground
wanderings: A faint glimmer OF
light could be seen through a rift
in the rocks far above US, and it
was through this small rift, which
was a sealed passage even to the
Dyaks themselves, that the birds
passed in their journeys to and
from their nesting grounds. Oul
arrival, of course, disturbed what
ever birds were there, and they
disappeared as best they could

And there, for time, we watched
the Dyaks going through their
gymnastics of robbing the BIRDS
nests, with their ropes and long
poles creeping along the high
ridges and ledges, in the lurid
light of the torches, like unearth-
ly specters.
''These peculiar nests are built
by species of swallow. The
nests consist of shallow, cup
shaped cavities, truncated at one
side, where they are attached to
the rocks like brackets to a wall
and forming something like a
two-thirds segment of a circle. 1t
is not always easy to get at them,
as they are sometimes glued to
the perpendicular sides of the solid
rocks high overhead, so that the
nest hunters have to scale these
cracks with ropes and poles to get
at them. In substance they con-
sist of an elastic, semitransparent
mucilaginous material, which is
said to be a secretion, or macerat-
edfood, from the crops of the birds
themselves.
GAS robbing these nests for
commercial purposes forms part
Of the Dyaks' means of livelihood,
the birds have frequently to build
twice or even three times during
the season before they are able to
hatch their offspring, and it is
noted that each successive crop Of
nests deteriorates in both con-
struction and composition. The
nests built at the beginning of the
season are bright and transpar-
ent, and are consequently known
on the market as white nests
But when they are robbed the
next crop is not nearly SO pure in
substance"
