MAGAZINE REVIEW.
The Miracle Of Genius.

Mr.. F. P. Dunno, the creator OF "Alr.
Dooley," is one of the editors OF the
American Magazine. While he was away
on vacation recently be sent in an I'M
usually good "Dooley" article on up
lifting the Farmer" for the November
American Magazine. In his absence his
associates got up the following note and
published II along with his article:
This article was sent TO the Office
by Mr.. Dunno when he was away on his
vacation. One OF tho staff seized upon
it, and, after reading il, rushed in to
his fellows joyonsiy quoting Lord Mac
auIayis saying that the highest miracle
Of genius is to make the imaginings Of
one mind become the personal recollec-
tions Of another.
Although Mr.. Dunno is our friend
and associate, we make bold, in his alb
sence, to apply this wonderful phrase
1.-THE miracle Of genius) to this piece of
writing. 1t seems TO US that never, at
least in our time, has the philosophy of
happiness and unhappiness been so per-
fectly stated. As always with Mr..
Dune, hlimor is mere dress for
truth"
Mr. Dunno has written over six hun
dred 'Dooley' articles.

we must believe that II does not explain
boarding at all except in rare instances.
For'if a person knows or feels that his
money is as safe on deposit with the
bank as in a safe deposit box, what
must be the condition OF his mind when
he chooses the box and fOregoes the in
terestl But of course, with so many
queer people in the world, any bank may
come into contact with two or three 50
very queer that, the mater of safety
being considered equal in either case,
they will choose no interest at all TO a
rate they regard as low.
Much was said from the platform Of
both partHs in the late presidential
canvass about money boarding The Re-
publicans declared that there was much
Of it existent even in normal business
times, and they proposed postal savings
banks with government guaranty, to
draw the hidden boards into use The
Democrats said the same thing and pro-
posed general deposit guaranty through
a mutual bank insurance system. The
only essential difference between the two
parties on this score was that the one
would bring all the people of the nation
into an association for the insurance OF
certain savings deposits, while the other
would confne the insurance association
to the affected banks. and make il com
prehensiye Of all banks.
Most probably the notion voiced on
both sides regarding the extent Of money
boarding in normal times much exagger-
aide the matter But both parties were
right in assuming that lack Of confidence
in banks Is responsible for such boarding
as exists rather than low interest rates,
Vermont may no doubt wisely moderate
its taxes on savings deposits a. meas
IRE Of encouraging and rewarding thrift,
but the way to approach the boarding
problem, if it exists up there to any
extent, must lie in the direction Of max
ing bank deposits more secure as through
some state or mutual bank guaranty

to apply some 50 or more years ago,

WOMAN'S SECRET SETS
INNOCENT CONVICT FREE
Revealed in Confidence After Twenty
Years, Governor cummins Pardons
Wecms.

Des Moines Nov. 23.--George Weems,
probably the most famous ''lifer' in the
Iowa penitentiary, at Fort Madison, was
yesterday released after twenty years
behind the bars, on the charge of muir
der, upon a pardon granted by Governor
A. b. Cummins, The state board OF pa
role recommended that Weems' sentence
be cut down 10 thirty-two years, which
would give him two years yet 10 serve.
But upon investigation of Weems' re.
markable case, Gov. Cummins cut off
the added two years and Weems Is
free.
While the governor in his report upon
the pardon states that he took the action
because Weems' father is an old man
aud has been robbed of the support and
care which his son should give him in his
declining years the real reason Is that
Governor Cummins doubted the mans
guilt when presented with the inner
story of the extraordinary case.
Weems was sent up for life for shoot
ing railway conductor Ridpath, the mo-
tive presumably being robbery. But in
Davenport ives woman who knows
that Weems was not guilty. because on
that fatal hight, the accused man was
in her company Now. this woman IS
married. and is the mother of son. II
she told the truth about Weems her son
would learn Of her past, and rather than
that she has remained sphinx-like during
all these years, permitting an innocent
snan TO remain a convict.
This woman's story avs learned by at.
torney ]. a. Dyer, attorney for Weems.
Dyer secured from her an affidavit upon
condition that her name be not diyulged.
This affidavit was presented to the board
OF parole in confidence, and later to the
governor. So strong was the impression
made that the governor Saturday freed
Weems. The name Of the woman is still
kept secret and will bc preserved invio-
late, tile governor has said
A feature of Weems' release Is that
the widow of conductor Ridpath, now
married again, signed the petition for
pardon She declared that If Weems
would sign the pledge, agree to support
his aged father, and become an upright
citizen, she would do all she could to aid
him.

st. Petersburg Nov. 23.-The body

emperor Of Russia, who died recently in
Paris, was buried Saturday in the new
Tausoleum of the RomanofTs which the
fortress of st. Peter and st. Paul at 81.
Petersburg, and Nicholas, the Russian
emperor, followed the coffin on foot
through the crowded and silent streets
OF his capital. The car walked from
the railway station TO the fortress, a
distance of three miles. In spite of
the apprehensions for the safety Of the
emperor, there was no untoward incl

suite of 10 grand dukes and 100 gem

There was a general desire to get
glimpse OF the emperor, who has hardly
been seen by the residents of st. Petehsa
burg for 10 years. There were no de-
monstrations and II was rarely that
any hostile remarks were heard. The
funeral train from the frontier arrived

Of march they were strewn with green
