part of the day. Dr. Little will re- main at Greenwood indefinitely while Paul Little will return to Little Rock tomorrow, if his father continues to improve.
 The condition of the governor last night was so precarious that it was f22red that he would not live till this morning. The sinking spells at the present stage of his illness are regarded as extremely dangerous by the physicians, owing to the weakness of the governor The patient has but little vitality to withstand relapses and he is being watched night and day by both physicians and members of the family.
 Since his return to Greenwood from Texas the condition of the governor apparently had been i'm proving until last night. For tn last few days he had been resting easily and maintaining a cheerful manner. Last night he was un- able to sleep and was very restless.

GOOD MONEY.

The 3 per cent certificates to be is sued by the United States treasury in denominations of $50 will undoubtedly be accepted at once as a superior form of currency. Even without the legal tender characteristic they will pass current as money for time at least, for the very good reason that they will be earning interest every day they are held, and in addition will be free from taxation.
 Country banks as well as city banks can utilize this offer of the Govern ment, and there should be no hesitancy in sending in subscriptions, which are receivable at nine different :. points Since the certificates are offered at par the transfer of other forms ot currency into this interest-bearing obli- gation can be made without expense and the holders of hoarded money in any form, paper currency or coin, have opportunity for an exceptionally pro- fitable exchange.
 It is quite likely that the amount fol which the Secrtary of the Treasury has invited subscriptions, one hundred millions, will be very largely oversub- are so situated as to be able to profit by the transaction this certificate is- sue permits will do well, therefore, to file applications without delay. Money that is now locked up in strong boxes or kept out of circulation in the vari- ous ways that timorOus people resort to in times of panic, to their own in- jury and the greater injury of the con- munity at large, will inevitably yield to the temptation the interest-bearing certificate presents, so that it is safe to anticipate a demand exceeding the supply.
 Those who want to hoard money can indulge their inclination to much bet ter advantage with money that piles up interest even when it is slowed away in safety-deposit box than they can by locking up ordinary paper cur rency or coin which earns nothing while it is locked up. This interest earning quality of the new certificates will take them out of circulation very quickly, but even when they are not seen they will be performing their ap- pointed purpose just as effectively, since every individual certificate will stand for $50 of currency returned to circulation-St. Louis Republic.

saw the telegram before it was sent and took sthe responsibility of with drawing it. Then he hurried over to Mr, Gresham. Under Landis advice Mr. Gresham scratched out 'Uhl, act ing" and signed his own name. A
 few days later the text of the telegram
 got into the newspapers, and the dy- ing secretary of state was praised from one end of the country to the other. President Cleveland had gone down the Potomac on a duckhunting eXpedi- ton. and when he returned and dis covered what had been done he was incensed. He refused to sanction the demand for an apology, and for time it looked as if Landis was in for something unpleasant. Later on Cleve land took a strong liking to Landis
 and offered to send him to Venezuela
 as minister. But 14andis had enough of
 statecraft and declined.
 In 1905 Landis was indorsed for fed
 eral judge by Hopkins and Lorimer, then leaders of the federal crowd in Illinois. President Roosevelt appoint ed him federal judge on the strength
 of his political "pul," and has not since had cause to regret it.
 1 Landis was never professional politician. One of his brothers is Charles E. Landis, a member of the house of representatives from Indiana,
 and another is Frederick Landis, who was congressman for four years up to last March. Another brother, Wal ter Lands, is postmaster at San Juan, Porto Rico.
 While possessed of great dignity and gravity when on the bench, betitting
 his gray hairs and pale, determined face, Judge Landis is natural hum orist and sees the funny side' of everything. In spite of his gray hair he has not the appearance of an old
 or even of middle-aged man, and in spite of his judicial gravity there is
 something youthful and bouyant about
 his bearing that suggests light heart
 and. wholesome uncOnventlOnality
 when court is not in session.
 Landis' sympathies are easily arous-
 ed and many stories are told of jus tice that has been tempered with mer- cy in his court His sympathies, how
 ever, extend only to unfortunate in- dividuals, and not to great and power
 full corporations, as was evidenced in the Standard Oil case.

JUDGE LANDS GEL
 EBRATES BIRTHDAY

Chicago, Nov. 20-Judge keneSaW Mountain Landis of the United States district court for the northern district of Illinois, who recently inflicted the famous big fine" on the Standard Oil company, is today receiving the con- gratulations of his numerous friends and admirers upon reaching his forty first birthday.
 Judge Landis Was born November 20, 1866, just after has father had return ed from the civil war, carrying in his body Southern lead received in the bat tie of Kenesaw Mountain, hence the name of the youngest of seven sons. When young Landis was g years old his father moved to Logansport, Ind, and the youngster worked as news paper carrier and on the far19, in addition to going to school. When he l finished his first year in the high school he worked six months in gro- cery store. Then he studied shorthand and became court reporter at Grown Point, Ind. 1 Later. he attended law school at i Cincinnati, and went from there to i Chicago, where he was graduated from the Union College of Law ill 1890. For year and half he practiced law, and then the late Walter 0. Gresham, of President Cleveland's cabinet, took him to Washington as his private sec retary. Judge Gresham had command ! ed the regiment in which Landis' fath- CT served, and there always had been a warm friendship between the two families
 Landis made himself known and talked about in the state 'departemnt He had his own ideas on great many
 subjects, and he was as self-assertive as a private secretary could be. In fact, he was often accused of trying
 to run" the state department.
 When the Allianca, an American J passenger, vessel, was overhauled by 1 a. Spanish gunboat when outside the
 three-mile limit of Cuban jurisdiction and searched on the suspicion that she
 was loaded with munitions of war fol
 the Cuban insurgents, a strong senti'
 ment developed throughout the country
 in favor Of demanding an apology from lSpain. Finally, Edwin H. Uhl Of Mich igan, who was acting secretary Of state lowing to the illness Of Gresham, wrote Ia letter 10 Hana.s Taylor, United
 States minister at Madrid, instructine
 the minister to demand an apology lfrom the Spanish government. IT accordance with custom he signed i l"Uhl, acting"
