A London scientist says that life in
metropolis makes young children
sharp but not clever; that it often de-
stroys their chance of eyer being
clever, for it hastens the development
of the brain unnaturally; 1t makes
them superficial, alert, but not OBJ
servant; eXcitable, but without one
spark of enthusiasm; they are apt to
grow blase. fickle, discontented; they
see more things from the country-bred
child. but not such interesting things;
they do not properly see anything, for
they have neither the time nor ca
pacity to get at the root of all the be-
wildering objects that crowd them
selves into their little lives. There is
more than grain of truth in this as
sertion.

Exploitation of the West.

Z Five years ago we who lived in the
far west were wondering when the
marvellous resources Of our one-third
of the United States would be discov-
cred and exploited. To-day, says
writer in The Reader. we awaken to
find our forests stripped, the places
where We pitched our tents. built our
smudges and fried our bacon and game
made desolate by the steam saw and
the freight car. The rivers where we
speared our salmon and the rushing
waters of the northwest where we cast
our seine have been made to fill the
labeled tins of highly capitalized syn
dicates, until the preservation OF the
"sock-eye," the most delicious of all
salmon, has become the subject OF In
terstate conference. The immense
plains. whose phenomenal productive
fly made legends of our "Mussel
Sloughs' and our "Yuba Dams are
being turned into irrigated plaisances,
into trolley highways. into the
dense social conditions of Ohio, Iowa
and Illinois.

Mental Poise and Health.

People who reach extreme old age
are. as rule, pretty well balanced,
physically and mentally. A poised life
is serene, and serenity and harmony
tend to longevity. The mind that Is
not well balanced is constantly jan
gled and out of tune, truly says D. 5.
Marden in Success Magazine. There Is
n constant jarring which racks the
whole human machinery. There is
discord in an unbalanced life, and dis
cord is always destructive-deadly.
The well-poised. dignifed life is not
thrown off It's center quickly. The
man who goes all to pieces over trifles
is one-sided There is momentum
in poised, balanced nature which
lsteadies Its progress and helps hold 1t
on its chosen track. Hot temper, con-
slant mental confusion and disorder
are vitality ers.-life-shorteners.

A BELATED FEE.
An Indian Couple Pay South Dakota
Preacher.

Rev. c. Boyd, pastor of the Method-
list Episcopal church at Chamberlain
S. D., received a call at his residence
from an Indian warrior and Sioux
squaw who wanted to be married. lhe
warrior gave the name of John Round
head and that of the bride was Vir-
ginia Shortbear.
The clergyman had barely said the
word ending the marriage ceremony
when the warrior seized his bride 5
hand, and, with the words, NO
money" started towards the door. he
evidently feared that the minister
might undo the marriage. Suspectins
the truth, the clergyman called OUT
that n pair of moccasins would pay the
bill. Promising that he should nave
the articles, the bridegroom departed
at a slow pace.
The promise of the Indian was not
forgotten, for in due time a handsome
ly beaded pair of moccasins was De,
livered at the clergyman's door ana
now occupy conspicuous place in MS
study.

Knotty Problem for
the Foxy Diplomats
The Return Of the Money Stensand Deposited in a
Bank in Morocco More Difficult than
Securing the Man

Washington, D. c., Sept. 4 The
state department is more greatly con-
cerned over the steps taken to tie up
the deposit of money which had been
made in the bank at Tangier, Morocco,
by Paul Q. StensIand, president of the
Milwaukee Avenue State bank of Chi
cago, than with the extradition Of the
fugitive banker himself.
1t Is the impression that no inter-
national complications would arise il
the authorities quietly kidnapped STEMS
lane and returned him to this country
for trial but it is an entirely different
question when 1t comes to the recovery
OF the money deposited in the foreign
bank, regardle IS of whether the money
was stolen or not.
There are certain questions of inter-
national law involved which must be
settled before the deposit can be gain-
ed for the creditors of the defunct
Chicago bank.
The relations between the United
States and Morocco are not as clearly
defined as between the nations of con-
1nental Europe and therefore the pro-
cedure is indefinite.
The deposit is reported to be about
$4,000 and it is said Stensland may
