Tangled Bank Accounts.

A n. wl u kSu
TT is remarkable said an old bank
employee, 'how few people keep their
bank accounts absolutely correct. At
ordinary times this failing is not con-
spicuous, because books are usually
balanced when there is still a credit
to the depositor's account. When the
balanced book is received with the
vouchers the usual discrepancy 1s
found after much labor in an omitted
entry, either deposit or check or in the
form of an error in addition or sub
traction. The thing is usually settled
at home without our help. But when
a lot Of women so to a bank, each
one with a check already made out
representing her balance, then look
out. Fortunately l have had on ex-
perience in that way, but | know that
nottcne woman in ten-and l am char
liable with the figure-keeps her book
correctly, and many women keep no
record al all. We have n depositor
who used to receive an ovedraft no.
tice regularly every month. Now, by
an arrangement with her, we give her
notice when the balance nearS the 500
mark. Men laugh at the women for
their failure to keep their ban ac-
counts right, but except when a book
keeper does the work for them the
men are nearly as bad."-New York
Tribune.

Whatever happens, never forsake q
friend. When enemies gather, when
sickness falls upon the heart, when the
world is dark and. cheerless, is the
time to try true friendship. They
who turn from the scenes Of distress
betray their hypocrisy and prove that
interest only moves them. If you have
studied your interest aud happiness,
be sure to sustain him in adversely.
Let him feel that his love was not
thrown away. Real fidelity may be
rare, but it exists in the heart. They
only deny its worth and power who
never loved a friend or labored tc
make a friend happy.

They are o only a menace to the i've

MANY instances are known of the

at Austin three years ago more than
100 persons have gone there for treat

The wolves are of the coyote species,
They skulk around at night and Kill

TO kill the wolves, wildcats and other

A FARM.
Established to Provide supply of this
Graceful Animals for Pets.

Established to W Supply of thu
Graceful Animals for Pets.
The increasing popularity of kanga.
roos and ~wallabies as pets has led to
a curious departure in farming at Lyn-
combe Hill, where the first kangaroo
farm in this or any other country has
been established, says the London Ex-
press.
The founders of this enterprise ara
two Englishmen, Messrs. w. II. PayRe
and Jack Wallace, who probably
know more about the unexplored w;ids
Of Northwest Australia than any per-
sons living who are not native bush
men. Their wanderings in the remNotest
of savage Au~stralasian districts cover
a period of more than thirty years, and
they are both seasoned busnmen, keen
naturallsts and skilled trappers.
They We're the first persons to bring
the beautiful and valuable a%ntelopine
kangaroo to this country, and at Lyn-
combe Hill they have just effected a
remarkable success in breeding from
this species, one of the docs having
care Of a youngster-the prettiest and
liveliest little fellow imaginable, with
a dainty little head exactly like that
of an Italian greyhound.
An Express representative was shown
over the Kangaroo farm1by Mr.. Payne,
who is now in charge of Bath, while
Mr.. Wallace is securing a new collec-
ton of animals, which are to arrive
from the antipodes next April.
Mr.. Payne first led the way into the
nursery-a large, bright apartment,
heated very nea to tropical tempera-
ture. Comfortably quartered here were
several young w%allabies, with he lit
tie. anteIopine infant and It's mother.
The buildings and paddocks Of the
farm cover about -four acres, and they
are surrounded by a high stone wall.
The latter is an essential on a kanga-
roo farm, for, as Mr.. Payne pointed
out. an Oldham kangaroo is a wonder
full jumper. Heights of ten feet and
lengths of twenty feet are not uncom-
mon,n he added; 'and 1 have myself
measured a jump along the ground OF
eighteen feet in the large paddock
here
1t was interesting to see half a dozen
antelope kangaroos in one Of the pad
docks hustling one another to secure a
slice of bread Mr.. Payne carried. They
boxed and wrestled just like human be-
ings.
The rarest kangaroos In England
are to be seer in the Belle Vue Gar
dens, Manchester said Mr.. Payne,
"and they nearly all went from this
farm. but the most interesting fact in
relation to our kangaroo farm is that
we are doing a steadily increasing busi-
ness with country gentlemen, with
whom the idea Of having kangaroos at
large In their parks is becoming very
popular. Wallabies also are being
bought in large numbers by well-to-do
people"
Kangaroos are docile and sensible
| pets. and they require very little at
tention. In the summer they live
mainly on grass and sleep out Of doors;
in winter they require a shelter such an
park deer have, and they do best on q
diet Of crushed maize.

Missouri GIee Club Concert.

It was not a large audience which
greeted the University of Missouri
glee and mandolin clubs at the New
Grand Tuesday evening, but it vas
a most sympathetic and appreciative
one. All OF the twelve numbers were
enthusiastically received and encores
we're numerous. The entertainment
was a typical college glee club con-
cert and contained some good music
as well as rah-rah stunts,
A good deal of local interest was at
tached to the program as c. A. Rock
wood and A. X. Ladd, two graduates
of Wentworth, were on the clubs. Mr..
lockwood appeared in both the glee
and mandolin clubs, sang with the
quartet and gave a solo. Although
he was suffering from a cold, he
showed that his voice had improved
wonderfully since he last appeared
here. His range has been extended
both ways and his tones have become
unusually musical. He sang Pinsuti's
'Bedouin Loye-Song' and as an en-
core Dreaming His singing OF
the latter was so effective that some
sympathetic spirit in the balcony
yawned audibly. Mr.. lockwood
made the hit Of the evening.
Another attractive number wa
that by the quartet, composed o.
Messrs. Miller, Palmer. Hudson anC
lockwood. They sang the well known
"Until the Dawn by Parks and as al
encore gave a song tull of local hits
The glee club was n of the bes
that has ever represented Missouri
The voices are all good and thu
coaching has been excellent. TIL
mandolin club, viii e not quite up Il
the standard of the glee club, wa
good enough to draw repeated en-
cores, showing that the audience
was well pleased. Altogether the en-
tertainment was highly satisfactor,
in every particular.
