 Statement by Banks.
 Following the action of the repre- sensatives of the banks President A. M Baldwin, of the First National, speaking for all the banks of the city, made a statement regarding the pur- pose and plan of the banks in instf- tuting the temporary rule. That statement is as follows:
 .sBy reason of the action of the clear ing house banks in all of the money centers. both in the East and the West, restricting cash payments to limited amounts and declining to ship cur rency in payment of balances of local banks with them, banks in the city of New Orleans. La. and in the cities of Mobile and Birmingham, In this State. deemed it advisable to take similar ac- ton in order to prevent the consequent depletion of their currency needed for the transaction of their local business. If the banks of the city of Montgomery under these conditions had continued to pay currency without limit, 1t would have been only question of time be- fore the currency now held by them would have been taken elsewhere to the great detriment of our business in terests. sAt a meeting of the local clearing house association held this morning al- though there had been no depletion in the currency here and no uneasiness manifested and conditions of the local

The legislature reached a definite

tor Cropsey said in open senate that
they would have bill Monday, yet the

Gov. Warmers second message read
to the house Thursday morning, con-
tanned a section which aroused consid-
cradle discussion. 1t was as follows:
| would also recommend legislation
relative to the taxation of car loaning
and other companies owning, leasing,
running or operating any cars not the
property of railroad companies. This
would be done in such way as to
make these companies bear their just
proportion Of taxation.
This section, which was covered in
the telephone and telegraph taxation
bills introduced by Senator Bland and
Rep. Jerome, would affect the taxation
Of cars of beef companies, oil COM
panies and other concerns operating
cars of their own.
The Jerome bill was first laid on the
table, but in order to have it printed.
ii was referred to the committee on
general taxation. The Bland bill went
to the senate taxation committee, a
strong antiadministration committee.
Senator Wetmore's bill to prevent
watering in railroad stocks was re-
ferred to the committee on railroads.
The senate, in executive session,
unanimously confirmed Gov. Warmers
railroad commission appointees.
Senator Fyfe offered a resolution
urging that all primary bills be intro
duced by Monday night. This resolu-
ton was tabled. The prevailing opin-
ion seemed to be that some kind of a
bill will be presented by the conserva-
tives.

Alike, Yet In Many Ways Fundament-
ally Different.

u
HWit and humor are such elemental
fundamental things that II has always
been found difficult to analyze them,
says writer in The Atlantic. Upon
some points, however, those who have
essayed this puzzling task agree, for
they all hold that wit Is an intel
lectual, humor an emotional, quality;
that wit is a perception OF resem-
blance, and humor a perception OF
contrast, of discrepancy, of incongru-
ity. The incongruity is that which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice, between
promise and performance; and per-
haps it might be added that 1t is al
ways or almost always a moral In
congruity. In the case both OF wit
and humor there is also pleasurable
surprise, a gentle shock, which ac-
companies our perception of the hith-
erto unsupported resemblance or in
congruity. A New England farmer
was once describing in the pres
ence of a very humane person the
great age and debility of horse that

A REAL "HOSS" RACE.
Country Fair the Place to See II at
Its Best.

II you would see a horse strap
ped, booted, braced and geared to
the limit, you must seek such a
track as you see at the old-time
country fair. Here comes an awk-
ward fiea-bitten gray which never
went under q so in his life. He is
hobbled and checked and goggled, and
hitched up sidewise, lengthwise and
crosswise until there is more har-
ness than horse. You wonder how
his driver ever got him into this rig
ging, and how he will get him out
again without cutting him free with
a jackknife. A farmer with a
gray beard and twinkling eye OBJ
serves to his neighbor:
Last time John Martin had that
plug out on the road l told him he
had the old cripple overloaded with
ust-aids-to-the-injure Them straps
that was cal'lated to hoist up his
knees must ha pulled too tight and
the critter was yanked clean off the
ground. What John was gettin'
ready for was a race for flynn ma
chimes, not a boss trot. From "The
Country Fair" by David Lansing, in
