Col. Brydn's Plan to Put the Country On
 An Absolutely Safe Basis
He Thinks There Ought to Be No Difficulty In Estab- fishing the Guaranteed National Bank System Immediately.

Washingtos, Nov. 21.-Mr. Bryan ar
 rived today to attend the wedding of the daughter of a friend He held d conference with several other friends.
 To reporters Mir. Bryan said: The administration is prepared so we are informed to recommend a postal saw ings bank. While this will doubtless encourage deposits. which could be handed over to the banks, it does not furnish complete relief because the plan as presented at this time for such deposits does not contemplate the opening of circulating accounts. The business community therefore cannot use the postal banks to any great ex- tent. Besides it would take some time to inaugurate the system or secure the necessary number of employees to make the plan effective. I believe it possible for the government to give immediate relief by an act of congress providing for a guarantee by the government of all deposits in all national banks. The banks thus guaranteed must agree to

 Copper Queen from the Shsttuck.

Fl Paso. Nov. 21.-The origin of the smoke and gas issuing from the mines of the Calumet and Arizona and the Copper Queen holdings in Bisbee has been discovered. Flames have burst from the mouth of the main shaft of the Shattuck Arizona mine. The damage has already reached s50.00O and the fire has not been checked.
 All the openings of the shafts have been bulkheaded and desperate efforts are being made to control the blaze. The flow of gas and smoke makes it practically impossible to do anything to help put out the fires.

Washington. Nov. 21.-The story of former Senator Browns acknowledge ment of the paternity of the two ot Mrs. Bradley's children was told to- day in Judge Staffords court by other lips than hers.
 Il acknowledge Arthur Brown and Martin Montgomery as my children by Annie Bradley" Such was Browns own methods of expressing himself on the subject and the legend is inscribed on a soiled plotted piece of writing paper. l. is dated February 10. 1905 and was brought to light by Colonel Maurice M. Kaighn. an attorney of salt Lake at present receiver in the United States land office and friend of Brown of thirty years standing.
 Kaighn was on the stand an hour during the afternoon session and tes- tified that Mrs. Bradley brought the paper to his office just after he re- ceived il from Brown. with the ink not dry. He told how she fairly danced into his office and how she beamed with joy as she held the paper aloft and told him that now all would be we'll

King who related many incidents go- ing to show that Mrs. Bradley was in a very nervous condition some time before coming to Washington and Ar thur Barnes. assistant attorney gen. eral 1f Utah. told of the effort made to find Mir. Shrewsbury. an uncle of Mrs. Bradley. who had been brought to Washington to testify concerning in sanity in his family. but who had dis appeared and could not be found.
 Mrs Bradley was more capable of asserting control over herself and more reSourceful apparently that when she took the stand Tuesday. She left it st noon after monopolizinC the time of the court for two days and -a half There were very few tears today bSt on the other hand the smile was more frequent on the face of the prisoner than heretofore. There was some ref ercnce to occurrences in connection with herself and Brown which evident ly touched her and aroused agreeable memories She was especially pleased when Kaighn told the story of her presentation to him of Browns ac- acknowledgement of the paternity of her children
 The year of 1901 was crowded with letters from Brown to Mrs Bradley according to Mrs. Bradley's statement but those she preserved began with December of that year.

reimburse the government for any losses incurred. To make reimburse ment in proportion to their deposits. The advantage of this plan is-first every depositor in such guaranteed bank will feel secure; second, the ex- pense will be paid by the banks which get the benefit; third. it can be put into effect Immediately. thus restoring confidence and enabling business to be resumed.
 It is probable that all the national banks would be willing to take advan- tage of the guaranty because the addi- tional security given to depOsitors would be of great advantage to the banks. The government would have ample securities in the capital ar sur plus of the banks which would vOlun- tarily join in the plan. as each bank would become interested in the proper management of every other guaranteed bank. IL should be easier to secure the legislation necessary for the correction of such abuses as exist.

SUPPLIES FOR A DAYS FISHING.
The Question as to the Proportions OF

The Question as to the Proportions OF
.~ Liquid and Solid Refreshment.
Gust what proportion the liquid
should bear to the solid refreshment
taken on fishing trip" said an ang.
Ter, has always been and I suppose al.
ways will be moot question.
men differ about this as they do
about so many other things; some men
want more solid and less liquid and
some want less solid and more liquid.
What makes me think about this
just now is seeing two men that I met
yesterday making for the waterfront
to go out for days fishing. One of
these men carried under his arm two
small loaves of bread, while between
them the two men carried a case con.
tanning two dozen bottles of beer. F!
"You see? These men evidently
were among those who think that the
proportion of liquid refreshment car
ried should be large, but then you may
meet men who think just the other
way, including men who go so far that
way that all they would carry in the
shape of liquids when they go fishing
would be jug of water.
so men differ, and differ widely,
as to this; but would state as mat
ter of observation in which think all
fishermen will agree, that the more
liquids carried, the less fish caught
and the less liquids, the more fish. =

show that Roald Amundsen is looked
upon as an explorer. Of the foremost
type, and his exploit of circumnavigat-
ing North America from the Atlantic
to the Pacific ocean takes rank among
the greatest geographical achieye,'
ments in the worlds history. But
with all these marks Of honor and with
attention from people in the highest
positions. Roald Amundsen has re-
NAMED the plain and everyday citizen
and democrat. He is now writing
popular book relating the adventurous
voyage Of the Gjoea. and after finish

Land people are unlike any other
known Eskimos. They are large Of
stature and practice polyandery, each
married woman having several hus-
bands. The cause of this rests in the
fact that the big majority of children
born are boys.

from his meetings with these Eskimos.

The Eskimo's patience when pursu-
ing certain object is marvellous. He
can stay for ten hours beside hole in
the ice waiting for seal to show up .
Amundsen once gave an Eskimo
hunter an iron bar ten inches long and
half an inch thick. The native was
going to make harpoon head, but on
second consideration he decided to
split it lengthwise so as to get materi-
ais for two harpoons. All the tools he
had to accomplish was an old table
knife from the Gjoea, which he dented
along the edge until it resembled a
saw. With this outfit he started to
saw the iron bar lengthwise in two
pieces and after a months incessant
labor he had succeeded in so doing.
From each piece he made a harpoon of
a workmanship so fine that it is impos-
sible to understand how it could have
been done almost without tools. Am
undsen bought one of them and paid
we'll for it.
