Tale of Farmer Who Lost His Head
During Financial FURRY.

Illustrative of the wrinkles and
kinks developed during the financial
furry story is told by a. central
Iowa banker who was carrying time
deposit of $4,000 for farmer who
took alarm and demanded the money,
although his deposit certificate did
not require payment until January
next. Persuasion and argument prov
ing futile, the banker decided to APP
pease his irate customer by paying
his subject, of course, to forfeiture
of the interest, amounting to $50. AS
a salve to his injured feelings ne
handed out the money In metal, an

saw it's bulk he would relent. But

Sam, and nobody else," he declared.
He received his orders in due time, a

was $3.50.

Famous Little Bunker Hill Cannon.

The general court of Massachusetts,
bought four brass cannon in 1855 for
use of the Boston artillery. Two of
the pieces were affectsonately named
the Hancock" and the Adams" The
one in question, If recovered, will
probably be christened the Warner" "
The fourth one has been lost.
When the Boston artillery were
using them In the piping times of
peace they were kept in a clubhouse at
the corner of West and fremont
streets, Boston. Early in 1775-or, as
some say, 1774-the eanny natives, at a
moment when all the British guard
were parading on the Common, laid
hold of the guns and secreted them In
Master Holbrook's Schoolhouse. On
discovering the loss the guard
searched the schoolhouse, but did not
find the guns, which were in wood.
box on which Master Holbrook was
resting his lame leg. Next day the
guns were spirited across the river In
load of hay.
It is understood that in all the Amer
leans had half a dozen similar guns
in the so-called Bunker Hill fight, but
the adams" and Hancock" could ffot
have been OF their number, since they
were returned to Massachusetts aftel

A FAMOUS CANNON
BOSTON TRYING TO RECOVER
BUNKER HILL FIRING PIECE.
Captured by British Army in 1775
and Now In Possession Of City
of Quebec-Attempts Made
to Purloin Relic.

Hartford, Conn.-There is more than
a possibility now that the famous little
Bunker Hill cannon about which the
guide descants pleasantly to visitors
to the citadel in Quebec will soon be
welcomed by the Ancient and Honor.
able Artillery of Boston and be placed
with its fellows in Bunker Hill monu-
ment.
1t isn't much of cannon to look at,
with its decaying wooden carriage and
its two split wooden wheels, as it
stands there in the Citadel on plat
form surrounded by mortars, but
Americans always have wished they
could see it under other auspices. A
Hartford clergyman, Rev. DR.. /. r.
Stidham, chaplain of the Putnam Pha-
lanx, said once after the sergeant had
finished his story of the capture of the
gun by the British: But, as | remem-
Der it, the hill itself was not taken"
Once or twice attempts have been
made to purloin the cannon, but nc
one ever got it further than the gran
lite wall After the last attempt, few
years ago, the garrison kept closer
watch on it. Indeed, it had been i'm
possible for any one to get picture
of it until recently, when Willard G
Gompf of this city made an effor'
which was crowned with success. A
the time of the Worlds Fair in Chi
cago request was made for loar
of the gun, but the royal authorities
had their fears and refused it.
Negotiations are now afoot for al
exchange of 1t for some historical reli'
in Massachusetts, the unusually cor

CARE or THE KITCHEN.
Clean Walls Are an Essential TO
Sanitary Cooking.

1t is not only important to know
how to cook, but 1t is equally impor-
tant to know where to cook Cook
ing in a dirty kitchen can never pro-
duce good food. The idea is simply
preposterous, yet kitchen walls are
left for months sometimes for years
without cleansing.
In the first place the kitchen wall
should have light tint that the mer-
est fieck of dirt can be seen; that the
sheerest cobweb can be brushed
away; that the tiniest water bug can
be discerned. Il is all folly expecting
clean food In D kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put a wall coating on a
kitchen wall that is mixed with hot
water or that has glue in it, or sour
milk in it IL mixed with cold water.
Glue walls made from horses hoofs
colored up with cheap colorings do
not indicate good housekeeping. The
glue is constantly fiecking off, fall
ing into the food and the idea of food
favored with glue made from horses
hoofs Is not aDpetizing.
Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat
isfactory should be alabastined the
same as every other wall in the
house. They should be coated regu
larly in the spring and fall OF eacf
year with light tint.
The care of the pantry require!
constant attention. The walls shoult
be brushed over every year, thu
dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wipet
with hot water. II there are an

HUGHES NEVER so STRONG.
Opposition Has Disappeared and There
Is a Rush for the Band Wagon.

New York. Oct. 3l.--As the campaign
OF Governor Hughes for reelection nears
its close, there are unmistakable signs
that the bottom has fallen out of the
opposition to him in his own party, and
that the personal propaganda launched
against him by his opponents has sig
nally failed to accomplish its purpose
To-day the governor Is unquestionably
stronger in this state than at any time
since last spring he focused public at
tention on the fight to rid the statute
books Of the law multiplying the consti-
tutional provision against race track
gambling, and he is gaining all the time.
It did not take the remarkable demon
STATIONS in Madison Square Garden and
elsewhere to make this fact clear; it
may be judged from the behavior of the
politicians Of both parties and of the
various other disaffeeted elements as
election day approaches.
The turn of the tide occurred about
the time of the great meeting in Roch-
ester week ago. From close personal
observation of the governors campaign
ing. it may be said that from that time
his cause has made steady progress with
that portion of the people to whom he
appeals, and that the other
elements which are governed in voting
not by conviction. but by considerations
of personal gain or political expediency,
have shown increasing signs Of their con-
sternation. The rush for the Hughes
band wagon is on and those who are
snrinting in its direction or are securely
perched on the upper seats include some
of the men who have fought against the
governor at every stage until forced to
give in by the demonstration Of Hughes
wonderful strength with the people In
the Democratic camp the workers are
queruous. They claim that they have
not had fair treatment by the newspa-
pers; that their cause and their candi-
date are misrepresented; and they show
other signs of men facing defeat who
have not yet nerved themselves against
what is about to happen. Only Norman
f. Mack and Fingy Connors are still
optimistic.
