FINANCIAL SITUATION

New York. Oct. 21-There is a
feeling of contentment in the
banking circles after the history
making meeting of Sunday morn
ing Of the bank presidents which
succeeded in finally elimating the
Heinze, Morse and Thomas inter-
ests in certain of the clearing
house banks.
It was generally believed that
by this action the cloud that was
hung over the financial situation
has been dispelled and that be-
ginning today a more hopeful
feeling would pervade the situa-
ton in the stock exchange and on
the street.
The meeting Sunday was the
most notable gathering Of bankers
in years. The deposits of the
banks represented at the con-
ference represented 81, ,25O, 900, 900
Besides choosing officers for the
banks in question and announcing
each one was solvent, pledges
were made establishing fund of
$40, 900, 900 by score of individ-
ual banks to extend aid to the
banks and render such assistance
to meet their deposits as the clear
ing house committee may think
necessary.

IRRIGATION MUST Be GOOD

w. O. Hollar, one of the fat
men ball players, sent picture to
a brother in Illinois,, and the Glen
wood Boy, in speaking of the four
men shown in the picture, has the
following to say:
Our Mr.. j. H. Hollar received
a picture short time ago from
Williston North Dakota, contain
ing the photos of his brother and
three other members OF the fat
mems ball team of that place. The
four shown on the photo weighed
respectively 260, 265, 270 and 285
pounds, the last being Mr.. HIS
brother. A short time ago the
Willistons played the Minot team.
There were twenty-five men in
the two teams and they averaged
23O pounds each. We do not
know what the score was but If the
game lacked in any one particular
it certainly made good in weight.
When one thinks of over two and
one half tons of humanity in ac
ton on ball ground they are led
to believe the climate or system of
irrigation (D out there must be
pretty good.

some of his oats Is bushels to the

Coach Horses Join Fox Chase.

They had some spirited horses tn the old coaching days. Just 100 years ago a remarkable proof of this was given, and fortunately recorded for the astonishment of later motor ing generations, in the case of the Liv- erpool mail coach. Horses were changed at Monks Heath, between Newcastle-under-L says the Lon don Tribune.
 On this particular occasion a pack of foxhounds was heard in full cry just as the horses from Congleton were freed from the coach, and they started off with the harness on their backs and followed the run to the finish One of them, a blood mare, stuck close to the whipper-in and took every jump after him through the two hours. And in the evening they took the return coach to Congleton as mer- rily as if they had been in the stable all the time.

The Life Romantic.

Why is it" asks the North Ameri- novel so pals upon us, while we turn instinctively to biography and letters, or to poetry and history for our lighter reading? It sens a fact too readily overlooked that the very form of lifes romance changes with the years. It is undoubtedly provision of nature that the emotional life should be paramount from IS to 30; but surely the glamor shed about the amatiYe relations begins to wane with middle age, and We find either new food for the life romantic or we settle into dull routine of reeurrent occupations It is then that personal optimism and pessimism are put to the test To let the sweeping pageant of life become all drab and dreary is to admit failure in life, and to live with ever-increasing zest and interest is to have captured success. The greatest free gift of the years is i'm. personality. That voracious interest in ourselves which is so natural limitation of youth fades of it's own accord as we grow to fuller knowl- edge of our slight endowment, the paucity of our spoken lines and the fragmetnary and insignificant part of our role in life And then what is to fill up the void? We are, after all, not cast for the hero's part; but are we to sink into mere hardened ma chines2 The gift of entirely imper- sonal enjoyment is one of the great est of life's events When it falls ners of delight and learn to live in them. We begin to listen to music with no disquieting desire to have 1t interpret our personal emotions or feed our ambitions We can look at pictures and nature with new and more liberal interest. There is a shift ing Of basis, by which, if we will, we may gain complete advantage. As in youth we cling to some glorified fragment of the past or hold out our hands to some warm hope of an un- earned but magnificent future, so in middle age we come, if we will, to a moment richer and nobler in itself If in youth We use the senses for per sonal aggrandizement. in maturity we learn to enjoy them for themselves. It is shifting of basis from emotion to perception, and the perceptions can give. as keen a pleasure, every whit, as the emotions.

Has Record of Bad Luck.

J. M. Scanlan, a well known writer of San Francisco, poses as the most unlucky man on the Pacific coast. He has established 13 dailies and week lies in California that have failed. He says that every check he receives either is unsigned or undated. The one lucky event of his life occurred while he was a private in the confed- crate army. While kneeling behind a low earthwork a cannon ball struck the top of the embankment, covering him with dirt and debris. If I had been an upright young man l would have been killed" he reported, salut- ing his superior officer. Friday he re- gards with much suspicion.

EVEN + DISCOURAGED
TRY DR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
 FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The Pills Have Cured the Disease ln Almost Every Form and Even in
 Advanced Staqes.

Rheumatism is painful infamma- Eion of the muscles or of the coverings of the joints and is sometimes accom- panied by swelling The pain is sharp and shooting and does not confine itself to any one part of the body, but after settling i'll one joint or muscle for @ time, leaves it and passes on to another. The most dangerous tendency of the disease is to attack the heart. External applications may give relief from pain for time but the disease cannot be cured until the blood is purified. Dr. Williams Pink Pills are the best medi- cine for this purpose as their action is directly on the blood, making it rich, red and healthy. When the blood is pure there can be no rheumatism.
 Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, of South Golf St., Auburn, Me-, says: q had been sick for fifteen years from impure blood, brought on by overwork. My heart was weak and my hands Colorless. was troubled with indigestion and vomiting spells, which came on every few months. l had no appetite and used to have awful fainting spells, falling down when at my work. I frequently felt numb all over. My head aehed continuously for five years.
 "About two years ago began to feel rheumatism in my joints, which became so lame I could hardly walk. My joints were swollen and pained me terribly.
 "Dr. Williams Pink Pills were rec commended to me by friend, after I had failed to get we'll from the doctors treatment. When I began taking the pills, the rheumatism was at its worst. had taken only a few boxes, when the headaches stopped and not long after ward I felt the pain in my joints be- coming less and less, until there was none ct all. The stiffness was gone and I have never had any return of the rheu- matism'
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have cured such diseases as nervous and general debility, indigestion, nervous headache, neuralgia and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. As tonic for the blood and nerves they are rnequalled.
 A pamphlet on '' Diseases of the Blood and a copy of our diet book will be sent free on request to anyone inter- ested.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re- eeipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for S2. 50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y

STUDENT MADE HIS POINT.
No Doubt the Policeman Understood
 What He Meant.

W. H. Mallock, the well-known English writer and political economist, said at dinner in New York, apropos of new definition of socialism: q find that definition rather confusing It reminds me of the young Oxford students badinage with the police man. Officer said the youth late one night, I'd like to ask you a question:
 Very well, sir
 Does the law permit me to call you an ass?'
 "'You move on,' the officer growled.
 But stop a bit continued the youth. Does the law permit me to call an ass a policeman?'
 The law don't say nothing about that, was the gruff reply.
 Then said the youth, goodnight, Mir Policeman.

Fiohtinl with Ants,

The Indians of the Mauritius dis pose of termites, or white ants, in this manner: When they see their covered way approaching building, they drop a train of syrup from this way to the nearest nest of black ants The first ones that see the syrup follow it up till they reach the termite passage. They return to their nest, and in a few hours a black army starts out for the white ant stronghold. With great fury they rush into, the galleries, and in short time entirely destroy the enemy, and each one, on it's way home, carries a dead termite, proba- ply to eat.
