BANK QUARREL,

Quarreling over the question as to
whether or not national bank has
the right to insure its deposits,
banker down in southern county
advertises the deposit guarantee as
a fake. The banker who penned that
advertisement has made arrangement
for season OF bad weather and his
ligestion is already showing bad Un-
der the strain. No citizen will seek
70 criticize a banker who feels that
mis- place is outside the deposit insur
ance law; he will be entitled to the
same treatment accorded all other
scod men, but when ne seeks to prove
that the banking insurance measure
If Oklahoma is baneful and its pur-
Dose hypcritical, he opens a line o.
argument his Xxi, less half, instf-
ution will be hammered ny people
no are SEEKING no other purpose
than TO prove the error Of nls con-
eDtion.
The Leader has no patience with
he banking cranks. Last fall when
he panic was on. the bankers were
royeling at the feet OF the news
fritcrs, begging To suppress the
nth and often to lle-givlng IS a
elson that the ruth would ruin the
1untry. At Coffeyville, Kansas, a
anker who was positively insulting
} the press few months before,
egged a paper to lie, not once but
iach day for a month
That banker would have been broke
nd ruined hal the newspaper even
ollowed the invitation to lie. Instead
stated the facts. the people recog-
ilzed ali was safe and allowed the
natter TO stand for the time required

securities.
Had the newspapers been guided
oy the same selfish motives that are
'lways in power when bankers meet
The last panic would have ruined al.
1ost three-fourths OF the banks west
I the Missouri river. The casa was
away and the bankers could not get
home In time to pay lepositors,
and one little rush would have torn
iown the entire superstructure Of
anance In the United States.
The banking system of the United
States is a hodgepodge barbarity,
born of fatal lonely hour between
lctual banking and the old state
banks of the country when money was

SOUGHT AID FROM THE GODS.
Japanese Villagers United In Cursing
Robber to Death.

This bit Of local color is from the
Japan Times: AT Shinokubo, a small
village in Soshu, consisting Of only
20 houses. several cases of robbery
lave lately occurred TO the great
alarm of the villagers. A diligent
search instituted by them for the Of
fender proved an utter failure. The
community consequently held a mass
meeting and unanimously agreed upon
cursing the robber to death. A vir-
tuous priest of the locality was ac-
cordingly applied to for the purpose.
He, however, declined to curse the
robber to death, an act too cruel for
a holy man like him to resort to. but
promised that he would paralyze the
robber by his powerful prayers, so as
to disable hiE0 and lead him to repent
ance. Thus the priest commenced his
incantations. ) But, behold, the rObber
continued his subtle operations to the
Indignation of the entire community.
The priest has been condemned as a
worthless fellow, and the villagers
have taken upon themselves the task
of repairing every day TO the village
temple by twos and threes to offer
horrible prayers by which the robber
is doomed to an early and fearful
DEATH"

article is coeval with mankind. The
English didn't begin to use ii until

be to patent some new sort of UNI

umbrella has existed for 10000 years
and yet in all that time it has not
once been improved. To-day, as it
did two or three hundred years ago,
it turns inside out with strong gust

loss to the country resulting from the
killing of notwithstanding birds, and
from our further neglect to intelli

scavengers of the air, put the gross
sum at $S00,000,00O per year. We do
not know upon what facts or what
basis of computation this enormous
total is reached; but if it is one-tenth
part true it is a startling showing. The
proposition of the federal government
to set aside bird reservations and

seems to rest upon sound economical
grounds. 1t is measure of safety for

GIRL DANCED WITH SKELETON.
San Francisco Maid Must Be Credited
with Some Nerve.

This is story of something that
was expected to happen and did not.
There was once a skeleton at the
Hopkins Academy of Art supposed to
be that of a celebrated French dane
ing master whose field of usefulness
was now confined to the anatomy
room, where he was daily observed
by bevy of girl students. The ex-
dancing master was mounted on a
base with wheels for the convenience
Of locomotion When one of the Gus
tomary dances was held a number of
girls wandered into the anatomy room
between the numbers and began to
trifie with the old armor, statuary and
other objects. The skeleton of the old
dancing master was dragged into the
middle of the room just as the band
struck up a waltz. The floor was pol
ished, and the wheels slid over ii
with marvellous ease. An idea sud
denly occurred to the youngest ana
prettiest of the girls. and she acted
upon it, 1T is long since monsieur
has had the pleasure of a dance" she
said, smiling bewitchingly. "Will he
dance with me?" Selling her card she
wrote, Monsieur the Skeleton" upon
it, Then encircling the bony digits
with her own warm fingers she sped
away with the skeleton over the pol
ished floor. II dance with death,
she cried and laughed gayly as she
whirled This is where something
should have happened, but nothing
did. The girls grew nervous and
dragged her from the room. The old
dancing master remained alone in the
middle of the floor, and the waltz
swung on.-San Francisco Call.

CARRIE NATION

The woman with the hatciret
got busy in Kansas long before
Carrie Nation won fame. 1t was
in 1856 in Lawrence, Kas. A
Joint was reported in operation
on the sly in log cabin in an out
lying district. This report imme-
dlately was folloyed by a spon-
taneous movement on the part of
the leading women of the town to
stamp out the liquor traffic in
Lawrence. Resolutions were fol-
lowed by quick and decisive action
Some ten or twelve women met,
armed themselves with axes, hatch
cts and hammers and marched on
the cabin where the demon rum
was being doled out. They broke
bottles, smashed casks and barrels,
spilled the red eye" on the
ground and chased the proprietor
out of town.-Kansas City Star.
