A correspondent tells the story of
two house martins nests built against
an attic window Of farm, to which
the birds came for several successive
years. Last spring. however. before
they arrived. a sparrow took up her
abode in one of the nests.
Shortly after the martins returned
as usual, and One day the farm people
noticed that the hole of the nest
which the sparrow occupied had been
blocked up. Next morning boy
climbed up to ascertain the meaning
of this, and not finding any outlet
broke away part of the nest, to find
the poor little sparrow dead on her

WHEN MONEY WAS SCARCE.
Practically Unobtainabie During Period
Of Missouri's History.

However scarce money may be al
times at the present" said an old Mis-
sourian, the Oldest inhabitants will
recall when 1t was almost unobtain
able and other commodities had to be
used as media Of exchange. The
VOLTS scalp was worth a dollar be
cause 1t was a state bounty upon the
death of wolf. and venison hams
and deer skins also had a purchasing
value. Skins Of the fur bearers were
likewise abundant and valuable. When
the first sheriff of Audrain county, in
1887. went to Jefferson City to deliver
the county revenue. he met an old
friend on the way who. needing
money. wanted to borrow the actual
coin part of the county's revenue. The
good-hearted sheriff lent it to him and
went on to the capital and delivered
only the scalps. By the time of the
next settlement the loan was repaid
and the sheriff made his next settle.

POSTAL SAVINGS
BANKS FAVORED
BY POSTMASTER GENERAL, WHO
ALSO PREDICTS ESTABLISH
MENT OF PARCELS POST.
SUCH BANKS NEEDED
WOULD ACT TO PREVENT PRl.
vATE BOARDING OF MONEY
AND KEEP 1T MOVING.

Chicago. Postmaster General
of honor Thursday at the banquet Of
the Industrial club of Chicago and
gave his views regarding postal i'm
proveme nts. including the establish
ment of postal savings banks and the
extension of the parcels post system.
which he will recommend to Congress
in his annual report.
He said the Postofiice Department
during the past fiscal year sent to
Europe the money of immigrants to
the extent of $71,000.000. He esti-
mated the amount of money in the
United States at $3.123.056.673, of
which 31,O1O, 100000 is in the banks.
$685., 1856, O53 is in the treasury and the
balance, Sits. sol $50 in the hands of
individuals and otner sources.
For striking illustration of the
value OF a postal savinks bank, take
the present time" said Mr.. Meyer
Many small accounts have been with
drawn from national banks, trust COM
panies and savings banks by timed
depositors, and the money has gone
into the strong box or into hiding
On occasions like these what the peo-
pie want is absolute security. After
they withdraw their money they dread
loss from theft or by fire. but they
do not lose confidence in the security
of the government or its pledges.
Therefore the small accounts referred
to would flow into the postal savings
banks and would be led back into the
channels of trade by being deposited
in the national banks in those COM
munities, to the great advantage OF
labor and industry.
when a crisis had passed and con-
fidence had been restored the money
would be returned to the savings
banks, because in the postal savings
banks it would receive only about half
the interest paid by savings banks.
II the money is withheld from national
banks or trust companies 1t loses the
benefit Of being drawn b. check nor
II deposited in a postal savings bank
can the depositor receive accommoda-
tion in the way of a loan or the &C.
ceptance Of business paper. In other
words, the Postoffice Department is
not going into the banking business.
1t desires only to encourage thrift
and to offer an accessible and safe
form of depositing savings by natur-
allied citizens and foreigners. as well
as by our people living in out-of-the-
way places"
Mr. Meyer in conclusion said he
believed the need for both parcels
post and postal savings banks would
be recognized by Congress this year

In making shoe trees from old stock
ings filled with bran. as is the habit OF
the economical. there should be enough
of the leg of the stocking left to allow
the bran to be pushed up as the form
is being put in. Otherwise. espe-
cially IL the shoe is at all damp. 1t
will be almost impossible to manipu-
late 1t.
Keep a tape fastened to the seam of
the stocking so 1t can be tied or united
at a moments notice. When putting
the form into the shoe unite this tape,
refastening it after pushing the bran
down to hold out the shoe.
There is but one objection to this
kind of shoe tree; mice like 1t as well
as you do. and care should be taken
to keep the shoes out of their way.

RouT COUNTY COAL RAILROAD.
Makes Application for Right Of Way
Across School Lands.

Denver.-Application has been made
to the State Land Board for right of
way over 159 acres of some of the rich
est coal land in Colorado by the Colo
RADIO q Northern Railroad Company.
The company plans to build line of
thirty miles from Hayden. a station on
the Monat road, in Routt county,
through the anthracite coal fields OF
that section and California peak, end,
ing at Sand Mountain pass. Later. II
is contemplated to build an extension
through the Hahn's Peak District.
DR.. A. A. johnson, superintendent
of the mineral department of the State
Land Office. is vice president and gen.
eral manager of the company. He APP
praised the land as being worth $3.50
an acre and that was the price for which
the board is asked to sell the 159
acres. DR.. Johnson explained that the
necessary rights of way over govern
ment territory had been secured free
because OF the important and rich coal
region the line would open. The ap-
plication did not state whether the sale
would be outright or not The board
expressed itself as being unwilling to
dispose of such valuable coal land and
action on the matter was postponed
until the attorney general could inves-
tigate. The benefits accruing from the
line are plain to the board and the
probabilities are that the board Will
sell the surface rights at the figure Of
fered, reserving the rights to the min
eral deposits.
The Colorado & Northern Railroad
company was incorporated year ago
with capitalization Of 100000. The
company is said to have purchased the
rights granted in, 1880 to Calvin s.

Business Conditions Better.

New York;. G. Dun & Co. report
that trade conditions throughout the
United States during the past week
have shown a marked Improvement
over the preceding seven days period.
The issuance of clearing house GER
tiicates and checks in communities
where the circulation of currency has
been restricted has had no apparent
effect on the volume of trade.
Especially is this true in the retail
lines, where the demand generally has
been steady and of increasing volume
as the season advances.
The tone of the incoming weekly re-
ports is one of healthy industrial and
financial conditions in. every section
heard from up to tonight.
In some instances there is tendency
to act upon a conservative basis in
placing heavy orders for future deliv-
cry, and this course is being counseled
by the jobbers themselves. who already
having the situation well in hand are
anxious that 1t shall move forward on
the soundest possible footing.
One of the most gratifying features
of the weeks reports from the princi-
pal trade centers is that the jobbers
are carrying fewer past due accounts
on their books than for many years.
In the iron markets there is tendency
to supply immediate needs only, but
the price of the metal holds good.
Business failures for the week have
shown no appreciable increase over
those of four weeks past. the percent
age of failures reaching the 100000
mark and over remaining small.
The reports coming from the inte-
rior of the country were received with
satisfaction in New York and were con-
sidered by business interests as indi-
eating the ability of the rest of the
country to weather the storm as sue
cessfully as did New York.

TRIED TO KILL
HUMANE AGENT
VETERINARY SURGEON AT MONT.
ROSE NARROWLY ESCAPES
DEATH BY EXPLOSION.
BUGGY is BLOWN UP
SUPPOSED TO BE ACT OF SOME
ENEMY MADE BY HIS WORK
AS HUMANE OFFICER.

Denver-A Republican special from
Montrose Sunday night says:
What appears to have been a das-
ardly attempt to dynamite James A.
Beatty, local humane agent and veter-
/ nary surgeon, was made last night at
l0:45 O'Clock.
After Mr.. Beatty had retired n ter
life explosion was heard in the alley
ust back of his house, behind the
BARN. and upon going out where the
explosion occurred he found that his
buggy was blown to atoms and pair
If overalls which he had left in the
buggy were on fire.
The explosion was so great that 1t
shook all the buildings in that part of
he city.
A large crowd of people were on
he scene in n few minutes, but no
race of the dynamitard could be
,ound. The buggy was a complete
wreck and it is supposed that the ex-
plosive was placed on or under the
seat.
Mr.. Beatty had telephone call TO
90 out to the country but few min
ties before the explosion, and it is
believed that the intention was to
nave the explosive discharged after
Mr.. Beatty had entered the buggy.
Sheriff Taylor and all the police Of
icers are working upon the case and
have succeeded in finding portions of
he box in which the explosive was
placed.
The attempt to dynamite Mr.. Beatty
IS supposed to have been made by
some one who has been compelled by
him to cease cruelty to animals in this
section. Mr.. Beatty has been the hui
name officer for this county for many
years and has vigorously enforced the
humane laws, especially those per
tanning to children. and has been
but paid no attention to the threats.
as he thought they amounted to moth
ing.
The buggy that was blown up con-
tanned all the veterinary tools. instru-
ments and medicines which he used
in his veterinary work. The box OF
the buggy was blown entirely OF and
landed nearly 100 feet away. The top
Of the buggy was carried half that dis
lance and heavy iron rods Of the
buggy were snapped in two. There
is no question that dynamite was
used. as the powder marks are Of a
grayish color. Mr.. Beatty's horses
were in the barn and escaped unin
jured. The sherin's office Is doing
everything in its power to locate OF
get a clue In regard to the party or
parties who fired the dynamite. and
within the next twenty-four hours
some startling developments are prom
ised.
Mr.. Beatty is about nifty years oil
age and has a wife and three children
AS the local representative of the
State Humane society he is consid
cred one OF its most fearless repre-
sentatives and more than one person

AT THE FIRST MEAL,
SOME GOOD BREAKFAST TABLE,
SUGGESTIONS.
Coffee Tastes Better If Made at the
Moment Required - Hot Water
Dishes to Keep the Food in
Condition.

Here are some suggestions for the
breakfast table that may be of use:
Coffee will be much better II 1t is
made right on the table. There is a
Viennese coffee pot which comes in
copper or nickel This is furnished
with its own alcohol lamp. which boils
the water as it percolates through the
coffee.
The coffee can be made any desired
strength. II the machine is started
with boiling water coffee can be made
in from ten to Is minutes.
Tea should also be made on the
table; you can then be sure that the
water is freshly boiled and that the
tea does not stand after being made.
There are some china teapots that
have a sievelike pocket in the top to
hold the tea leaves The boiling water
is poured through them as many times
as is necessary. The tea when made
remains the same strength. as the
leaves do not steep in it.
Food should be served in hot water
dishes. These come In all sizes and
at all prices.
The handsome Shefield pieces have
a covered dish on stand. hot water
dish underneath 1t and an alconoi
lamp that fits into the stand to keep
the water hot.
These, of course, will last a lie
time and are expensive. but there are
plenty of others that will answer as
well and that are quite reasonable.
Food will keep hot in these covered
dishes for a surprising length OF time
and does not dry up. as 1t does when
put in the oven or over the stove. IL
you want to have a comfortable not
breakfast have several of these dishes
in use.
China eggcups come with hollow
bases, in which hot water Is poured
A soft-boiled egg. when hot, is appe-
tizing, but 1t never is by the time II
is prepared in the ordinary eggcup.
II you like your dry toast crisp. it
should always be served In toast
rack. Putting it on a plate and COW
ering 1t up makes a steam that spoils
it.
The juice of an orange squeezed into
small glass cup makes very good
fruit course. Many hurried man Will
drink his orange juice to his pleasure
and profit who would not stop to have
an orange that he had to prepare him
self.
After all. 1t pays to give the family
a good start in the morning and
good hot breakfast is a great help.
