Bank Protection.

Mankato.-Within two months there
will be in operation among the coun.
try banks of Minnesota a new plan
for the protection of bank deposits.
1t is plan devised by bankers in.
stead of by politicians. and those who
are fathering it firmly believe that it
will actually achieve all the beneficial
results which were promised by the
advocates of the bank guarantee
scheme. Throughout the recent cam
paign, plans for the new idea have
been quietly carried forward.
w. D. Willard, cashier of the First
National bank was in Minneapolis.
He is chairman of committee ap-
pointed last spring by the bankers of
the second congressional district of
Minnesota to organize the banks in
that district for the operation of an
independent system of examination
along the line of that now in operation
in the twin cities. Sickness in the
committee has delayed its work to
some extent, but it is probable that
the first of the new year will see the
independent bank examination under
way in the second district.

Monster Fish kidnaps Boy.

While out trolling in the Susque-
hanna near Danville, Pa, Frank Ross
temporarily surrendered the long fish
line to his little four-year-old grand
son, Frank Cummings, in the stern of
the skiff, and rowed steadily, hoping
for but hardly expecting bite.
The little lad had his end of the line
wound around his wrist, and when,
presently, a great bite did come, he
was yanked over the stern into the
water, and his grandpa backed water
with the oars and grabbed the boys
free left arm.
It was the work of moment to
haul the little fellow into the skiff. but
a slower and harder task to get the
taut line, with its struggling captive at
the other end, into secure quarters
also. 1t turned out to be a monster
