There we're still many blocks Of bills

Il
There were still many blocks Of bills
on the counters behind the teller's win
dows when just before 1880 telephone
bell rang in the presidents office. A
choleric gentleman of middle age who
had stood two hours in line had just
reached the teller's window and handed
out his book when MFR. Brown stepped
to the tellers side and whispered some.
thing In his ear. The teller paused
with both hands filled with bills.
Sorry, sir" he said. abut the order
has Just come from SO Broadway to sus-
pend payments"
The choleric man reached both hands
inside of the teller's window after the
'retreating bills--his total deposit--then
he gave way to wrath.
1t was after Mr.. Brown had got on
his chair again and made the official
announcement Of the suspension Of pay
ment. voicing the hope that the bank
could resume payments today, that little
scenes OF comedy and tragedy broke the
tension in the green marbled banking
room. Most of the early comers, the
men and women who had taken first
alarm and had withdrawn their slender
savings, had gone by this time and it
was upon the women in silks and the
men in frock coats that the blow of the
bank officials announcement fell.
One richly gowned woman with a
poodle took panic and went right into
see William +. Lewis, the manager, with
as much OF an air Of hurt dignity as If
her ticket for the opera had been re-
fused by the doorman. Another woman,
young, quietly dressed girl, drove up
to the curb in an electric hanson and
stepped out. When she saw policemen
at the doors OF the bank her face blanch'
ed and she hurried up to one OF the
bluecoats to learn the truth. When she
knew that payments had been suspend
ed she started to get into the cab, then
on second thought she stopped, paid the
chauffeur and walked slowly down the
street.
At Q o'clock the doors of the bank
were closed and policemen turned away
all except few who came to withdraw
the contents of their safe deposit boxes.
But during the rest of the afternoon,
even after banking hours, people drove
up to the locked doors, paused open.

DRASTIC MEASURES TO BE TAKEN.
German Government Have Hope Of Set
tling vexed Native Problem.

BERLIN, Nov. 2.--Drastic measures
have been adopted by the German gov.
ernment in the hope Of settling the vex.
ed native problem in the southwest
African Protectorate. BY order Of the
governor the following three regula-
tions have now come into force:
First, natives are, as general rule,
in future prohibited from acquiring
rights over or titles only with the sane
tion Of the governor. Secondly, natives
are in future as general rule not per-
mitted to possess or keep animals for
riding purposes or big cattle. Permis-
sion to keep such animals must be OBJ
tanned in each single case from the gov
ernor. Thirdly, each native is required
to be in possession Of 1 passport.
According to the general regulations
the governor permits natives freedom
Of movement in the colony, but whea
important reasons demand it native
can be forbidden to remove out Of his
district, and a passport, without which
a native cannot travel from one part of
the colony to another, can be refused
him.
"A special authority. termed the native
commissioner, il appointed to supervise
the natives, but the right Of supervision
is also given to civilians, farmers and
employees, and indeed Ito every white
man as such.'
These regulations fnltill TO some ex-
tent the demands advanced by the Ger
man Colonial party, which urges that
the natives have by their attitude to-
wand the government forfeited to the
latter all rights to the soil Of South
west Africa.
The Pan.Germans are delighted with
the regulations, which, they say. will
enable the real colonization Of the pro-
tectorate to be proceeded with in
earnest.

WHAT ARE THE CT

What are the fright eyes watching
Under the Southern sun?
Oh, the roses fair in the balmy air,
And the vines that c.4mb and run
What are the bright eyes watching
Under the Northern sky?
Feathery snow, while the chill winds
bow.
And the clouds go drifting by.
What are the children doing
Alike in the cold and the heat?
Making life gay on the darkest day
With the sound of their feet.
What are the children learning
Alike in the East and the West?

of them next week, together with the
names of the winners.

ling over the stones. Let us make
haste to the kings court"
But Harmonious stayed to hear the
song that the brook was singing. of
journeying through MOSES and ferns
and shady ways. and Of tumbling over
the rocks in shining waterfalls, on its
way to the sea.
Ripping and bubbling through shade
and sun
On to the beautiful sea l run;
Singing forever. though none be near,
For God in Heaven can always hear"
Thus sang the little brook. Har-
monious listened until he knew every
word of the song, and then he hurried
on.
When he reached the others, he
found them still talking of the king
and the queen, so he could not tell
them of the brook. AS they talked he
heard something again that was won
derfully sweet. and he cried, Listen!
Listen'
ooh that is only bird" the others
replied. Let us make haste to the
kings court"
But Harmonious would not 80, for
the bird sang so joyfully that Harmo-
MUS laughed aloud when he heard the
song. 1t was singing a song Of green
trees; and in every tree there was a
eggs.
"Merrily, merrily listen to me
Fitting and flying from tree to tree;
Nothing fear by land or sea-
For God in Heaven is watching me-"
THANK you little bird" said Har.
monious you have taught me song"
And he made haste to join his COM
rades.
When they had come into the palace
they received hearty welcome, and
were Toasted in the great hall before
they came into the throne room
The king and queen sat on their
thrones side by side. The king thought
of the queen and the minstrels: but
the queen thought of her old home
in a far-off country, and Of the butter
flies she had chased when she was a
little child.
One by one the Ministries played be-
fore them
The Oldest minstrel sang of battles
and drums. and the soldiers of the
king shouted for joy. The youngest
minstrel sang Of the ladies and their
fair faces. and all of the ladies of the
court clapped their hands.
Then came Harmonious. And when
he touched his harp and sang, the song
sounded like the wind blowing. the
sea roaring and the trees creakirg.
Then 1t grew very soft, and sounded
like trickling brook, dripping on
stones and running over little pebbles.
And while the king and queen and all
the court, listened in surprise. Har-
monious' song grew sweeter. sweeter,
sweeteer 1t was as if you heard all
the birds in spring. And then the song
was ended.
The queen clapped her hands. and
the ladies waved their handkerchiefs
and the king. came down from his
throne to ask Harmonious if he came
from fairyland with such a wonderful
song. But Harmonious answered.:
Three singers sang along our way,
And I learned the song from them
| today"
| Now all the minstrels looked up in
surprise when they heard these words
from Harmonious; and the Oldest min
strel said to the king: Harmonious
is surely mad! We met no singers on
our way today"
But the queen saiS s"That is an old,

THE THREE MlNsTRELs.

Once in the olden time king call
cd his heralds together to hear his
bidding. And all the swift runners
gathered before the king, each with a
trumpet in his hand. And the king
sent them forth into every part of the
kingdom to sound their trumpets and
to call aloud:-
Hear. o We minstrels. Our gra-
cious king bids We come to his court
and play before the queen!"
The MINISTRIES were men who went
about from castle to castle and from
palace to cot, singing beautiful songs
and playing on harps. Wherever they
roamed they were always sure OF a
welcome
They sang of the brave deeds that
the, brave knights had done, and Of
wars and battles. They sang of the
mighty hunters that hunted in the
great forests. They sang Of fairies
and COLLINS, of giants and elves. And
because there we're no story books in
those days, everybody, from little chill
dren to the king, was glad to see them
come.
When the MINISTRIES heard the kings
message. they made haste to the pal
ace; and it so happened that three of
them met on the way and decided to
travel together.
One of these MINISTRIES was young
man named Harmonious; and while
the others talked of the songs that
they would sing, he gathered the wild
flowers that grew by the roadside.
Il can sing Of drums and battles,
said the oldest minstrel whose hair
was white and whose step was slow.
II can sing of the ladies and their
fair faces" said the youngest min.
strel. But Harmonious whispered,
Listen! Listen!"
ooh. we hear nothing but the wind
in the tree tops" said the others
I'VE have not time to stop and lie
ten
Then they hurried on and left Har.
monious; and he stood under the trees
and listened, for he heard the wind
singing of it's travels through the wide
world. 1t was telling how it raced
over the blue sea. tossing the waves
and rocking the white ships 1t sang
of the hill where the trees made harps
of their branches, ana OF the valleys
where all the flowers danced gaily to
its music. And this was the chorus
of the song:
Nobody follows me where go.
Over the mountains or valley below:
Nobody sees where the wild winds
blow
Only the Father in Heaven can know
Harmonious listened until he knew
the whole song. Then he ran on. and
soon reached his friends, who We're
still talking of the grand sights that
they were TO see.
We shall behold the king and we
shall speak to him. said the Oldest
minstrel
and we shall see his golden crown
nd the queens jewels" said tbs
3ungest
Now their path led them through
wood. and as they talked, Harmo
said Hush! listen-'
