A Parallel Case.

In the late financial stringency a
clerk in one of the New York banks
was trying to explain to stolid old
Dutchman why the bank could not
pay cash to depositors as formerly.
and was insisting that he be satisfied
with clearing house checks. But the
old German could not grasp the stu
alton, and finally the president of the
bank was called upon to enlighten the
dissatisfied customer. After a detail
ed explanation Of the financial situa.
ton, the president concluded, Nov
my good man, you understand, don't
you.?"
Yes" obviously replied the Dutch
man, Il think / understand. It's Just

heartened him, but SO also it embold-
ened Plenty Boy, who now tfptoed
against the rocks and beat his tiny
fists against their hard surface as he
renewed his shouts to the little dogs"
to come down.
Within six PAGES Of the glazing
cougar Yellow Belt halted. Should he
drop his weapons, leap forward,
spatch Plenty Boy and run? This he
was about to do, when the remem-
bered counsel of old hunters re-
strained him. when in close quar-
tiers you must never run from igmu
hanska or from mato-hota,. the griz-
ely, for then they a.e sure to attack.
You must always face them warily,
weapons in land" Such was the wis
dom of the elder hunters, and the boy
needed.
He took another step forward, and
now the two lower kits, with barely
space to cling against the rock, began
to crowd each other for safer and
higher footing. One of them showed
the other nearly off its perch, and this
one made a desperate scramble to-
reach the dam above For a moment
the kit fought, then lost it's footing,
and rolled to the feet of Plenty Boy,
who bounced upon it with cry Of de-
light.
And now the big cat, glazing with
open mouth, crouched for spring,
and Yellow Belt leaped toward her
and let fly his arrow with the iron
tooth. Straight at the muzzle of the
beast he shot, and his shaft entered
her red and gaping NAV and stuck in
the cougars throat With groWl OF
rage, igmu hanska leaped from her
perch.
She launched herself at the daring
boy, striking him upon the chest, and
together they rolled upon the rocks.
Thinking his last moment was at
hand, Yellow Belt fought desperately.
He somehow got to his feet, and
his surprise was equal to his fright
when he saw the great yellow beast
rolling in agony At a glance he saw
that his arrow had entered her throat
and stuck, that blow from her paw
had snapped the shaft, and the iron
tooth was wedged fast, holding her
jaws wide apart. In vain she strove
to tear out the offending weapon.
She rolled to and fro, uttering hoarse
chest notes and tearing at her mouth
until her jaws ran red with blood.
The animal was crazed with pain,
oblivious of everything else as she
fought to rid herself of the weapon.
Plenty Boy, sprawling at the foot of
the ledge, fiercely scratched by the
small beast, which had already fed,
was bowling Justify.
Yellow Belt gave the youngster but
glance to note that he was not seri-
ously hurt; then, fitting his bone
toothed arrow, he circled warily about
the fighting cat, watching his oppor-
tunity for deadly shot.
1t came at last. At three PAGES he
launched his arrow, burying its tooth
behind the old beasts shoulder
A truer shot and straighter to the
heart no hunter could have made. In
a moment all was over, and the long
cat lay stricken dead at his feet; and
for several minutes thereafter the
rocks rang with his exultant whoops
of victory.
While he was still shouting, his
mother found him and saw what he
had done. She caught her youngest,
still screaming with pain, into her
arms and examined his hurts.
Finding nothing to alarm, she
turned to the exulting son of Big
Mountain and said:
my boy, you have indeed done
we'll. Youths Companion.

HOW THE CASHIER ROBBED THE
BANK OF HALF A MILLION.

The thievery at the Allegheny
National Bank, of Pittsburg, Pa,
by Cashier William Montgomery,
now known to amount to 1850 600,
has been going on for years, and
has again provoked the inquiries
"do bank examiners examiner"
and what do bank examinations
show?" Motgomery's bank has
been examined" time and time
again since he created q shortage.
These shortages were covered up on
the occasion of each of the visits
of the examiners by means of a
cashiers check. The bank main
tanned a cashiers fund, often
amounting to as much as 800, 900,
it is said, and, upon the appear
ance of the examiner, it is alleged
the cashier would merely send a
messenger to some other bank with
his check for an amount necessary
to cover the shortage. After the
completion of the examination the
check would be redeemed.-Au.

The existence of a suicide soci-
ETY. in Chicago and parts of Michi-
gan is believed to have been dis
covered at Muskegon, Mich, a day
or two ago, when the body of a
young man named De Kruyter was
found under a sidewalk. On the
body we're found a black silk veil,
and gloves and stockings of the
same hue. Three times the young
man had attempted to end his life
on previous occasions, and each
time the veil, stockings and gloves
we're found on his person. They
came to him through the mail.
Investigation disclosed the fact
that within week FIVE young wo.
men in Chicago had committed
suicide, and the veil, gloves and
stockings we're found with them.
The articles are thought to be the
death insignia of the suicide club.

ATLANTA HAD A BIG FIRE.

Thirty-one buildings destroyed {,
forty-two business concerns burn
ed out, one thousand persons
thrown out of employment, and a
financial loss conservatively esti.
mated at million and quarter
dollars is the result of fire which
started about $3.50 o'clock Friday
morning and ragged for four hours
in the business district of Atlanta.
The fire started in Schlessiager's
bakery and candy factory, entail
ing loss on that firm of 5000, 900.
The block of buildings destroyed
is in the Terminal Station district,
bounded by Madison avenue and
Mitchell, Forsyth and Nelson
streets, and burned the Terminal
hotel and several buildings on the
east side of the street between
Madison avenue and Forsyth
street.
.. NJ. AMMAN, VINO owned the
entire block bounded by Madison
aver ne, Forsyth, Mitchell and
Nelson streets, as we'll as the Ter
minal hotel, suffered a loss of
about $3.50, 900. but his buildings
are insured at about so per cent.
The 81, 800, 900 loss includes the
loss of buildings, stocks on hand,
fixtures, etc. Many of the build
ings destroyed were occupied by
manufacturers, many firms having
lofts in one building.
Coming east from Madison ave.
nue., the fire was stopped in the
building occupied by the branch
bank of the Central SBank and
Trust corporation. The upper part
of the building was Quilted, but the
Offices on the ground floor occu-
pied by the bank were damaged
only by water.

Liberty is a word dear to the
hearts of our people, but when we
read of trusts being formed to con-
troll the output and price of the
food we eat, the clothes we wear,
and most of the other essentials in
life, we are justified in saying that
our great American privileges are
being grossly abused by the strong
and against the interests of the
weak. Our great constitution, oe.
hind which our higher courts dodge
while tolerating and defending
these robbers, never contemplated
such conditions. What this coun.
try needs is emphatic democratic

the chief blot on the United States.
"Not only is it a blot" he says,

But how is it to be checked as
long as there are some forty-five

laws in the country? If the church
men will exert themselves to the
end of bringing about uniform
marriage and divorcelaws through

There ought to be no trouble
this year in the prompt moving of
the Georgia fruit and melon crops.
The old familiar cry of "no cars
will hardly be heard this time. A
statement issued a few days ago is
to the effect that the Pennsylvania
Railroad alone has $4,000 idle cars
and 500 idle locomotives, SO the
chances are that there is a great
deal of available rolling stock on
the various lines waiting for the
crops to begin moving. It is ssti-
mated that the Georgia peach crop
this year will turn out not less
than 5000 car loads, or nearly
twice the yield of last year.
