dingy howell 1t happened that the
army had not beer paid for months
and the paymaster had just given us
all that was due us. Ny pay was more

it. 1t did not require much time for
the family occupying it to move, for
they had nothing. AS soon as they
had gone | bought a pick and shove,

city had originally been built on lake,

with encouragement and soon came
upon other articles. My work was
necessarily slow. as I was obliged to

upon one immense mass Of gold and
jewelry that during three centuries
had almost become welded together.

AMONG THE POETS.
ACROSS THE HILLS.

ACROSS THE HILLS.
A little valley round me lies
Circled about by silent hills;
Above it sweep the silent skies.
In spring it is all daffodils-
In summer the sweetbrier grows
For those who seek; then, wistful
days
Soften through autumn, till the
SHOWS
Lie white on all the quiet ways.
The many, many ways that wend
Their many paths the valley
through!
l can not trace them to the end
They stretch a little space in
view,
And then (ah, some are rough to
tread!
But some all gently travel on
With sunlight shining overhead)
They climb the hill crest and are
gone.
And by these roads, day after day,
My friends and fellows, one by one,
With eyes far-searching, fare away.
So shall do as they have done
Some day with swift or faltering pace
And one look backward, long and
fond,
Shall climb the encircling hills, and
face
The great beyond! the great be-
yond.
Success.

BOSTON BANKER SAYS
MR.. MURRAY FOOLISH
List of 20 Questions To Be
Asked Bank Directors
Called Absurd,

BOSTON, Nov. "A vigorous pro-
officials as a result of Comptroller
Murray's orders that the national
bank examiners shall convene the di-
rectorS of the various national banks
and PROFOUND to them 90 questions
which we published yesterday.
A Boston bank official who is lest
qualified 20 speak regarding Mr.. Muir
ray and his latest effort, says:
1T would be impossible to compile
a more ludicrous, nonsensical list of
questions that those which Mr.. Muir
ay has ordered his deputies to ask
the bank directors. They are so am
ateurfsh ard impractical as 10 raise
some question as to the mental con4i-
tiUn of their author.
VINO is Mr.. Murray that he should
seek through the newsp lpers TO cast
discredit and suspicion upon the way
in which the national banks Of this
country are conducting their bust
ness? | happen to know that he has
made a failure as a practical admins
trative bank man, but that as 4 mem
Der of ROJsCvelt's tennis cabinet he
has somehow SQuirmed into the good
graces of the adm; listratiOn, with the
unfortunate result that he is now
comptroller Of the currency, a position
which demands the services of a prac-
teal banker and one who has made
a success in his profession.
What an absurdity it is to ask a
bank director If he can certify to the
genuineness of signatures TO notes
discounted, if he has balanced the
pass books and counted all the 81 bills
in the bank The remaining ques-
lions are on par with these and can
serve no useful purpose.
Like many of the large metropOli-
tan institutions, we have a number
of directors in our bank who are too
busy to give more than passing at
tention to the daily routine of its af-
fairs. About one-third of them give
daily attention to administrative mat
tiers, but the remainder are where
they can be called upon at a moments
notice should the necessity of their
counsel arise.
The modern bank seeks to have
identified with it as directors men OF
responsibility and influence who have
a high standing in the business world,
but to ask of the 20 or 80 directors of
a large bank how often they list the
collateral, how often they have veri-
fed outstanding certificates Of deposit,
how often they check up the stock
ledger and if they have a full knowi
edge of the habits and general stand
/ ing of their employees is utter fool
J ishness."

MARKET IS A
BIG SURPRISE
All indications On Day Before
Election Are For a Bull Mar
ket During the Next Few
Weeks.
(By Frank ]. Graft

The close of the market on the eve
Of election las been. without question
one of much surprises, owing to the
strength that has been displayed dur
ing the day. The demand for rail,
roads as well as industrials is the
very best evidence that the bull mar
ket is near at hand and that from
now on we should see better prices
prevail all along the list. The de
mand for copper stocks during the
early part of the market was very
good and at times stocks showed a
tendency to be scarce. The outlook
for the curb list is on the improve
and from the activity that has beeI
dis played in the leading copoers WE
must naturally look for a better mar
ket from now on. Superior & Pitts
burg is very firm at SIT, Greene Cana
nea at $10.75, Miami at $11.75. As
far as l can learn there is but one
outcome, that is better prices are look
ed for and 1 see nothing to interfere
with this advance.
The 5000 shares that were Offered
or public subscription on Friday
were all subscribed for Saturday morn
ing, the entire allotment being taker
care of in less than twenty-four hours
time. It is very likely that on Wed
nesday work will be started on the
main vein. At present We have eight
applications from reliable parties that
are to take leases, and it is expected
that the greater part of the expenses
of the company will be taken care o.

indianapolis, Ind. March 24.--The
advance guard of the army of demo
Gratis who will attend the democratic
state convention at TOmlinsOn hall
Wednesday and Thursday, including
the seven candidates for the nOmina-
tion for governor, have marched down
upon indianapolis and pitched tents to
await the call to arms for the first bat
tie of the 1903 campaign.
Chief interest of the day and even
ing centers in the seven candidates for
the governOrship nomination. The
entire list was on hand yesterday with
the exception of Charles G. Conn of
Elkhart, whose headquarters was in
the charge of Robert Z. Proctor, one
of his principal lieutenants. and sever
al assistants. Hundreds of the dele
gates to the convention will come
without voting instructions from their
own counties and the candidates are
taking advantage of the opportunity
to corral support.
Confidence was the feeling most
prevalent among the wOuld-be COVER
nOrs. and not one of the seven is able
10 convince himself that any one of his
opponents has d chance to win. Not
many of them dealt in figures in ex-
planning how they would be nominated
Thursday. but they all expect to win
some way.
Although the first session of the con-
venton will not he held until Wednes-
day morning at II O'Clock. practically
all the delegates are expected to be
here today to take part in the usual
ante-cOnvention maneuveTs. and since
the delegates will number 1871. demo

go all around.
