MPEDIMENr TO PROGRESS.

When Dustin Farnum. who created
the role OF the Virginian, was last IN
Richmond, Va. he was asked TO 10 to
see a performance OF "OthelIo." given
by a local compay Of colored amateurs.
The friend OF Farnum who extended the
invitation insisted that "Othello'' as m
conscious comedy would be worth
while. but the star could not leave his
own theater early. and so the pair dia
not reach the colored performance until
the handkerchief scene was being enact
ed. This Is what they heard.
The Moor OF Venice approached his
wife with knitted brows.
''Desderaona," he mumbled. give me
dat handkerchief"
Silence from Desdemona-
Then again Othello:
'Desdemona. says 70 20 to Cfb ne
dat handkerchief
But stil no reply from the Venetian
girl.
''Desdemona. thundered the now an
cry husband, 70 the third and las time
I ak 20 to-gib me-dst-handkerchi fr''
And then, from far IN the gallery,
came the voice OF a man who had evi-
IDENTIFY paid the full price Of admission:
''Oh, shucks!' he said. Wipe yo'
nose on yo' sleeve an let dis here show
go on?'-Saturday Evening Post

O'SHEA IN SOUTH,
POLICE SUSPECT
Negotiable Papers Worth
500 Found in Regal
Safe.

Following the theory that James J.
O'Shea, assistant manager OF the Regal
Shoe ColaDany, 1902 Pennsylvania aven-
ne. for whom a warrant charging the
larceny OF 500 50 has been issued. has
attempted 70 hide himself IN the South
ern States, the police Of the Central
Ohice are today eagerly awaiting In
formation. Detectives Parham and
O'Brien. who have been detailed on the
case by Inspector Boardman. are stiu
In the city conducting their search
for the missing man IN this city as well
as across the Potomac.
Further investlss OF the safe
from which the money IS said 10 have
been distracted by O'Shea did not
bring to light any Of the missing money.
The first investigation showing that
S629.So was missing and that over 800 In
checks and negotiable paper was LEFT
in the safe was sUbstautisted by the
second investigation today.
Manager RInahart, who placed the
greatest. confidence in O'Shea, was very
loath 70 charge his assistant with theft.
but owing to the fact that the money
as well as his assis ant vas missing ne
felt that IN duty 20 the firm he was
compelled 70 have the warrant issued.

The little man paused on the step.

CHEW GUM IN SCHOOL NOW;
TEACHERS C0NFECTIONERS

SWEDESBORO, n. j., Dec. A-The
children Of the public schools here are
having the time Of their lives. All day
they can sit in school and chew gum
or cat candy. and when their supply
runs out they can go to their teacher
and buy more. for every teacher now
runs a. confectionery store and sells the
children all the candy they wish to buy.
The profit from these sales IS 10 be
used to purchase a plano for the S3s 900
schoolhouse now in the course of orac-
ton. OF course, the rule fOrbiuding
children eating in school hours has not
been revoked. but under the present cir
cumstances IL is but natural that the
teachers cannot always see when the
rule is being broken.

"FIRE, FIRE" CRIES PARROT;
SAVES MISTRESS HOUSE

YORK, Pa. Dec q "A big green par
rot by uttering shrill cries Of fire"
saved the property and probably the
life Of Miss Sallie Flckle. OF this city.
While Miss F1ckle was preparing
breakfast she went too close to the
stove, ard her apron ignited. She failed
TO notice that the gingham was smol-
dering, and walked into her dining
room. where the tablecloth caught fire
ag ghe brushed against it. She mad re-
turned 20 the kitchen still ignorant OF
Eer danger. when the shrill screams OF
'lire fire." yelled by the parrot IN the
next room attracted her attention
She then noticed that the table was IN
a blaze. and with the assistance Of
several neigh'ors she succeeded In ex-
tinguishing the flames.
The parrot continued its cries untu the
last spark was extinguished.

Rope Plays Elevator
At Finishing School,;
Helps Marriage Plot
Christmas Gift Bears Miss
Ruth Kendall From Window to Her
SWeethearts Arms.

NEW YORK, Dec. H.-Thirty feet Of
rope sent by a girl IN a Christmas box
TO Miss Ruth Kendall. at the Norwalk
Finishing school, IN Connecticut. WAS
responsible for g merry runaway we'd
ding party at the Holland House yes
terday. The former Miss Kendall ap-
peared as Mrs. Alfred Kent.
Mrs. Kent laughingly admitted that
she had reached her fiance's arms only
after traversing the thirty feet Of rope
hanging from a window IN the boarding
school. Her chum. Miss Ethel Kelcey.
OF 100 West Forty-siKth street. was
present at the celebration, and said that
she was proud 70 state that she sent
the rope which had brought about such
a happy result
But the rope descent was not the
only feature OF this romance II was
founded strictly upOn Romeo-Juliet
lines, for the fathers OF Miss Kendall
and Mr.. Kent have been bitter enemies
for a generation. When Mr.. Kendall.
IN his home In Raleigh. n. c., learned
that a Kent boy from Asheville. n.
C., had made the acquaintance OF his
daughter. strict orders were sent to the
school that Miss Kendalrs mail should
be carefully watched and her excur-
sions from the school well chaDeroned.
Calls Become Frequent.
Miss Kendall and Mr.. Kent met last
summer during their vacations at the
Thousand Islands Mss Kendall told
where she wes TO be sent 70 school. and
Mr. Kent promised 10 call frequently.
His calls attn .cted the attention OF the
school authorities, and hey commuui-
Gated with the girls parents. asking II

Kent so frequently met the EirI.
The first answer TO the inquiry came
by telegraph. followed by Il long letter
OF Instructions These replies shut or
all chance OF the sweethearts' meeting.
although They were still able 70 keep
mp more or less infrequent correspon-

Kent begged for an Immediate mar

Ing, she could not dnd mesas 10 escape
from the school. and she found that her
letters were being Inspected" In her
despair she sent through a friend a let

knew that Miss kelcey had at one time
attended the school, and had on her
own account made n famous escape from

that there was no better way OF getting

RESERVES INCREASE
IN COUNTRY'S BANKS
Falling Off Shown in
Larger Cities Money
CenterS.

Striking facts concerning the legal
reserves OF the national banks are
shown in the abstracts 9f reports 70
the Comptroller OF the Currency under
the call Of December g. The reports are
now al in the hands OF the Comptroller
1t is disclosed in the first place that
there has been a remarkable tendency
on the part Of the banks 70 increase
their legal reserves. The abstracts OF
reports by States shows that In every
ore Of them the percentage Of legal
reserve TO deposits has increased since
August p, the date OF the last call pre-
ceding the one Of December q An ex-
animation OF the abstracts also dis
closes that the tendency 70 Increase has
been greater in the West and South
than In the East
This showing means that the country
banks generally have been taking coun-
sci OF the late troubles in the financial
situation and have been building up
their reserves. as the showing by
States is largely dominated by the
country banks.
Further, Il is shown that there has
been a remarke bic tendency on the part
Of the reserve cities IN the interior. and
in the West and South 20 keep large
reserves. The central reserve cities,
New York. Chicago. and ST. Louis, ali
show a falling OF in the percentage OF
legal reserve 10 deposits.
These are a few samples showing the
extreme tendency 10 guard reserves at
this time. There can be no doubt that
the showing may properly be cited as
evidence that the New York banks are
not open 10 the charges that have been
made OF holding on TO the money IN
their possession unduly. II IS the in
terior banks, and those ot the West and
South that are taking the very policy
for which the New York banks have
heen blamed. II Is apparent that many
OF the interior institutions are being
extremely conservative as 10 loans. a
fact that gives rise 10 the question how
the industrial situ6t,on Is being affected
by the apparent uEW1lllngness OF banks
10 loan literally.
