A remarkable swim by an Swear
old horse. says Kildysart telegI an,
is occupying the attention of the O.
cal inhabitants. II appears that a
farmer named Morgan Macmahon,
who lives on small island in the est.
uary of the shannon, took the horse
by boat 10 the mainland. ana aiIer
working it all day. turned t loose in
the evening with a number of other
horses.
When the owner awoke mex, morn
ing. what was his astonishmen. to
find the faithful animal peacefully
grazing near its stable? It WIS wet
as from a swim. and there is not the
slightest doubt that the horse had
swum all the way from the mainland
to the island. a distance Of little
less than three miles.-Pall ..all Ca

ROOSEVELT as orator of the day, a later

The body has reposed since the day
of the funeral in a vine-clad vault not
far from the entrance to West Lawn
cemetery. This shelter is the public
receiving vault of the cemetery, but
was given over to the purpose of a

THAT rise directly from this water
pathway to the main entrance to the
tomb. II is the junction of this quiet
basin to reflect the architectural com
position beyond. and thus doubly to
impress the vision upon the mind OF
the beholder.
Another supplementary feature that
contributes in no small degree to the
effect is the presence of a statue OF
the late president at the head of the
staircase and about fifty feet i'm front
of the facade of the mausoleum.
As a sort of portal to this patriotic
Mecca there is a circular plaza. This
plaza is. however, without any treat
ment other than a parapet wall and
the disposition of the trees. it being
felt that being merely a turning point
the attention should not be held by
anything here. From this circle the
lapproach to the monument is of great
beauty. The oblong lake or basin
previously mentioned is the central
feature and is hordered by two ave
nues shaded by trees.
II is assumed that visitors in car
lrlagcs will take the central alice OF
the three, which slightly diverge on
leaving the circle. and will draw M
at the foot of the basin for a distant
lview of the mausoleum, thence pass

have been provided, and there is also

THE CAUSE OF THE PANIC,

While newspapers all over the
country are devoting columns so
speculative opinions as to the
cause OF the recent panic in New
York, the World OF that city
gives what Is clearly the reaD
foundation of the trouble in less
than a dozen lines, after first
briefly reciting we'll known evl-
dences Of general prosperity ana
unprecedented activity in all
ines OF human endeavor. The
World says:
American farm crops are sci
ling this year for an aggregate
sum of $6,5O0,000,OOO, the larg.
est amount that agriculture has
ever returned TO the people OF
any country in any year. The
mines are working at high rate
of productivity. More coal will
be unearthed, more pig iron
smelted, more steel plates rolled
this year than ever before. In
tie south the cotton crop is
bringing twice what it did ten
years ago. TIE New England
mills are humming buslIy. Every.
where wages are nigh and en-
ployment easily obtained.
| this were d time Of business
failure, OF lack of employment,
OF poor crops, of genera poverty,
financi Il depre sion would be ex
pected and a lowering OF va ues
would be inevitable. But why
should there be panic in New
Iork when the community is
prosperous! Why should values
be shaken when legitimate busi
ness Is earning such profitable
returns!
Th' answer is simply because
c rtain New York banks and
trust companies abandoned their
Legitimate functions TO become
milling institutions. Instead
of conining thsmsalv $ t. the
business of sound b1nsIng, their
officers took heir deposiicrs'
money for use in pnva'e specu-
Iaton As vel Nigh they have
