A Lost Letter
Thursday.
Dear Mary:

Dear Mary: Thursday.
The letter given below was picked
up on the street, and as there is nc
address on it, 1t could not be sent tc
its owner. The letter is useless tc
anyone except to the one for which ii
was intended, and it will be held here
COR identification.
We were all SO busy last eve
ming l didn't get q chance to talk
with you. / had some of the fun
NEST questions asked me about
your approaching marriage. Wait
till | see you.
Fred told me you and he were
planning to go houSe-huntfng to-
morrow. Don't you lease a place
that hasn't got electric lights in.
You'll make mistake if you do.
] wouldn't go back to gas again
for the world
That light tn our cellar and the
button upstairs is just the most
convenient arrangement / know
of. The lights are not all either.
What fun we have cooking in our
electric dishes-so easy and clean
too, and | really think | should
have died last summer if it had
not been for that electric fan
your father brought home.
Remind me to tell you of those
ridiculous questions spoke of.
I've iaughed and laughed till I'm
nearly sick
Saw Lottie today. How stout
she is getting, and Ned and Nell
are so slight.
Good luck on the house ques-
ton, dear. but be sure you get one
with electric lights. for you know
how anxious l am that you should
start off properly.
Get over early tomorrow night.
I've lots to tell YOU
AffectiOnately.
GRACE.

WILL THE BANKS ANSWER THlS2

In addition to the arguments al
ready presented by tn" Common"r
in favor of the guaranteed bank, tn"
following is submitted:
The United States government re
quircs deposit of specific security
when it deposits money In nation
al bank, the state also requires So
curity as IA rule, and the county ana
city deposits are secured either by
bonds or by the deposits of specific
securities.
Now the question arises, II the
United States government, which
can at any time inspect II bank and
find out just what it is doing and
how it's business Is being conducted,
requires security for its deposits,
why should not security he given tn
the depositor who can not examine
| for himself and does not know any
/ thing about the banks solvency oI
methods? And loss to the national
government, to the state, To the
county or to the city would be borne
by all the people and thus be small

individual must lac borne entirely 10y

Why More Boy Babies Die.

DIR. Francis Warner, senior physician
OF the London hospital, has drawn atten-
ton to a curious sex problem. Taking
the births of 1908, he showed that 81 per
cent were boys, yet the death rate of
boys was so much higher than that of
girls that of 5-year-old children only AZ
per cent were boys. Further statistics
showed that q per cent of boys, as COM
pared with only % per cent of girls, died
in the first year. DIR. Warner attributed
the preponderance of females in England.
despite the more numerous birth Of bows.
to the fact that much larger proportion
of males had the same physical defect. A
minute examination of thousands of chill
dren showed that per cent of boys were
physically defective, as compared with 7
per cent of girls, but taking the children's
medical wards, where practically all were
physically defective, the mortality of de-
fective girls was higher than that of the
boys. Hence he deduced that while the
female sex apparently approaches closer
to normality than the male, yet when
normalities are found equally In both tbe
girls have less vitality, a fact which
causes more rapid breakdown under an
added strain. 1t was also noted that
while the male sex supplied great ma.
jority of criminals, yet in murders com.
plicated with lunacy women were in n
great majority.

that isn't educational In the true sense
You can't educate tact, and justice. and
generosity, and honesty into a man,
any more than you can educate voice
into him. You can't make a flrst-class
man out Of fourth-class boy, any
more than you can make good singer
out Of a man with no voice. But you
can help to make boy more apprecia-
tive of his rights of citizenship and Of
the rights of others, whether he be a
first-class or fourth-class pupil The
education that fails to do this fails to
educate. There is a wide margin be-
tween book-learning and education. We
have neglected this practical side of
the problem SO long that we have bred
men who care nothing for justice, who
have no regard for the rights of their
employees, or even their own families !;
who are deaf to reason and seek by
force what they could readily win by
tact and honesty, had not their educa-
tion been along the wrong lines. 1t Is
time to wake up to this before 1t Is too
eyerlastingly late. Educate the child
to be good citizen, to regard the
sacred rights Of the Individual and the
vested rights Of the majority, and you
have a graduate who represents the
highest type Of man.

has been appropriated by Congress for
the canal work. July ], 1907, $31 ,OOO,-
700 Of the sum remained unexpended
When Colonel Goethals succeeded Mr..
Stevens last March as engineer in
charge he found that circumstances
warranted an increase of the working
force and an enlargement of the plan
of the work. 1t was In August that
the soldierengineer told the Secretary
OF War that If the work was to be
pushed at the rate at which it has been
pushed since the army took charge the
appropriation which had been made
for the year ending June 30, 1908,
would be used up by the first OF the
calendar year.
This bit Of information, which was
cheering to those who hoped for a
speedy completion Of the canal work
was given to President Roosevelt, who
at once ordered Colonel Goethals not
to stay his hand, but to go ahead at
the same labor rate and incur a def
cheney. The Colonel, like good sol
dier, obeyed orders, and now the ap-
preparation made last year, which sup
posedly was large enough to provide
for the continuation Of the work until
July 1, 1908, Is exhausted and an ur-
gent deficiency bill calling for $11 1,000,-
600 Is pending In the House,
The Secretary of War has told the
Senate committee on interoceanic ca
nails that the work was kept going at
high speed and that the deficiency was
incurred because It was his belief there
was greater economy In going ahead
than in tagging.
OF the increased cost Of the canal
over the original estimates the Secre-
tary of War has said: 'The widening
of the locks in accordance with the re
quest of the Navy Department has
been approved, and 1t means an addi-
tional cost Of about 10 per cent In the
construction of the locks. The locks
themselves as now projected will cost
S52 100000, and this means an addi-
tion of $5,0OOOOO to the price,"
In talking to the Senators Colonel
Goethnls used the word guess" when
he was telling them about the price
