ignited a load of hay at West Rut-

his whole cargo was on fire and he
made a high dive between the

THANKS ron nAarH,s sourr1ns

Through the gray dawn in the meadows We
heard the reapsrs singing
TAe song Of men who conquer and who
Know their triumph's worth:
Like the bare blades Of an army the keen,
swift scythes went swinging,
And golden In their wake lay piled the
goodly spells Of earth.
And said: "Givs thanks. o heart Of mine,
a. conQuerors may do
With sound Of Acclamation when the bat
thing IL through.
To Him who gave us strength and skill to
force the stubborn soil.
For glory Of the gaining and the triumphing
At full noon in tho orchard we heard the
maidens laughter
Bare-armed among the laden trees they
pulled the branches low;
Home at twilight went the wains, with us
to follow after,
Light Of step and gay Of voice, as merry
children 20.
And said: "Give thanks, Heart of
mine, with very mirth for need
10 Him who gave us knowledge OF the
cunning of the seed,
For beauty of the growing and the Joy of
blossoming
And granting of the harvest from the prom
Use of the Spring."
The praise Of words for things Of earth, o
tender Heart of mine,
nut never yet gave mouth Of man meet
thanks for gifts divine;
Nor mirth nor reclamation but to Him who
granted love
The great, glad tears of gratitude and 81
lences thereof

The dinner was a great success. Blaise-

influence over his fellows, grew very talk
alive and entertaining. He told stories
Of queer places and queerer people which
savored of familiarity with lawlessness
and lawbreakers, but which kept Jim
breathlessly interested until the eight
strange guests made their adieus. When
the company had filed out of the little
cabin door Blaisedale, who was last to

his hand to Milly.

CENTRAL
BANKS
BILL TOBEINTRODUCED
IN THIS CONGRESS.
BASED ON THE GERMAN AND
FRENCH METHODS OF
BANKING.

Details of many new projects for i'm.
proving the currency are being sub
mitted to the president and Secretary
Cortelyou, and are receiving such at
tention as the other exigencies of the
financial situation permit. Secretary
CortelyOu is good listener, and usual
ly digests quickly essential parts Of the
various plans which are submitted to
him.
Measures relating to the currency,
which are being discussed among
bankers and incoming members of con.
gress, may be roughly grouped under
four heads. central bank of issue, a
central organization of the existing ma
tional banks, the issue of additional
circulation against various classes of
bonds other than United States bonds,
and the issue of circulation upon gen.
eral assets with the security of a guar
anty fund.
The project OF a central bank based
upon general outlines of the Bank of
France or the Imperial Bank of Ger
more attention of late than any pre-.
vious time in recent years. Senator
Hansbrough of North Dakota, who is a
member Of the finance committee, has
announced that he will introduce a bill
for such an institution.
Mr.. Wexler, vice president of the
Whitney-Central National bank of New
Orleans, is openly in favor of cen
trail bank, and says that the New Or
leans press. taught by the strain OF
the cotton situation, is generally with
him.
Those who favor a central bank
point to the recent crisis as the best
afforded had it been in operation.
Their view is that the national banks
would have been able to rediscount
their paper at such an institution and
obtain it's note to an amount necessary
to relieve the strain. 1t Is considered
somewhat significant in some quarters
that Mr.. Ridgely. the comptroller OF
the currency, has just declared for a
central bank of issue, after having in
revious reports recommended only a
general credit currency for the existing
banks. The utterances of Mr.. Ridgel!
are not, however, considered to commi
the administration. Treasurer Treat
has plan which he is advocating
when he is invited to deliver public
address on the subject.
1t is SO long since a central bank
existed, or was even seriously dis
cussed in the United States, that there
is much difference of opinion as to
the details of the organization. Those
who advocate it generally insist, how
ever, that the secretary OF the treas
ury and the comptroller of the cur
rency should be ex-officio members of
the board of directors and that the
president should appoint or approve
the selection of the head of the bank.

Thc Gam1a's Thanksgiving Dinner.
The gamin sat there at the board
That grOaned with things to eat,
Around him was a goodly hoard
or bread and cakes and meat,
And as he viewed 1t all with grins
He said: II wisht dat l wuz twins"
lie ate with growing appetite
And fed upon that store,
lie put much foo1 away from sight,
Then looked the table DER,
And then with sundry signs and grins
lie sad: II wisht dat | wuz twins"
The viands vanished Ike a dream,
The turkey soon was gone,
But then cane Ike and rich Ice cream
And he e.e OF and on,
Al still &c b.e those greedy grins
Ma sail. II wisht dat l wuz twins"
On nuts and fruit he also fed,
And pie and candy, too,
He gloated on the sumptuous spread
That doomed before his view,
And funed and sighed between his grins {:
Gee whiz, l wisht dat wuz twins"
But by and by he had to stop,
For he could hold no more,
His knife and fork he had to drop
AID then began TO roar,
For all at once he lost his grins
And groaned: I'm glad amt no twins"
