PROTECTING DEPOSITS IN BANKS.
An Ohio Example Of Taft's Position
and OkIahoma's Proof of Bryan's
Position.

One Of the planks Of the Denver
platform favors guaranteed bank de-
posits. Mr.. Bryan addressed the Ohio
legislature in February favoring guar
anteed deposits. Former Governor
Herrick subsequently addressed the
legislature in reply to Mr.. Bryan, op-
posing any such protection for banks
and bank depositors.
Mr.. Taft, in his speech of accep-
lance, denounced. the plank of the
Denver platform, which declares for
a national law for banks similar to
the Oklahoma law for state banks,
thereby coinciding in the views of Mr.
Herrick and opposing the views of Mr.
Bryan.
Below are two dispatches showing
what Mr.. Bryan stands for and what
Mr.. Taft stands for:

More Hay. Hog and Homlny.

More Hay. Hog and Honlny.
There would be more money in
leverybody's pockets if farmers
would raise more hay, hog and
hominy, and have their cotton for
a surplus. 1t is bad management
for farmers to buy hay when there
are so many kinds of hay that can
be SO easily grown some for one
kind of land and some for another.
1t is also bad to buy corn when it
is cheaper to raise it; and bad to
buy meat when there is better
way out.
Vegetables and fruits can also
be grown by way of diversifcation
but the best Investigation begins
at home by raising home supplies,
but it does not end here.
Peas should be raised as a crop
by themselves as well as being
planted between the corn rows.
The pea crop has already assumed
great Importance in those parts of
the country where the power pea
hullers are used and these machines
should be used everywhere. With
these machines one can cut the
peas with a moving machine, cure
them and put in stack and thresh
the whole crop-Yines and all
thus getting the peas and the hay
separately. In Missouri and Hi
nois, farmers pay &c cents per
bushel to have their peas threshed
and, Of course, they have the hay
| in addition. 1t is too slow and too
expensive to pick pods off the vines
lbv hand and the pea crop will
never assume the importance which
It merits until it is handled by |
machinery, as described above. |
Pens are not only a good money |
crop when handled in this way but |
they enrich the land and crop of |
oats can follow them, thus getting |
two crops within a year.
Japan clover makes a good hay |
on sandy bottoms where it grows
to considerable height and Yields a
large amount Of hay Of the best
quality. 1t, too, can be grown in
alienation with oats, getting
crop of each on the same land the
same year. One farmer at Chou
drant, La, sowed Japan clover
and red top together four years
ago and has cut a crop of each
every year since. The red top is
cut June 1st and the Japan clover
in October
Corn and cotton will both yield
better where peas or Japan clover
has grown. In fact, poor hill lands
can be made to yield large crops
of corn and cotton after having
been in such crops as peas, Japan
clover or vetches.
More mules and hogs should be
raised; both for home use until
men learn how to grow them sue
cessfully for the market. The
manure from domestic animals is
worth much to the land and will
put It in a high state Of fertility
where the land is devote to live
stock and the manure saved.
Farming is what people make of
1t. If they are ignorant and LACK
push they will make botch Of it
but ii they are intelligent and ener-
getic they will make a great sue
cess. Men should SO farm that
their land will get better instead
Of poorer-and it is not a hard
thing to do.

After q sixty days session the
State Board of Equalizers brought
its work to a close last Thursday
with an increase of S12, 900, 900 in
assessments. About S., 100000 of
this amount is on pine lands but
some of the members think that
this increase will not stand, as by
orders OF the Board, the assessors
made classilications of these lands
the same as last wear. The other
increases made bv the Board were
81, 100000 in merchandise, 81 ,350,-
900 in banks, S3,O00,0O00 in min
eral and mine lands. But to OIL
set this there was a decrease in
live stock and agriculture amount
ing to considerably over million
dollars. The Police Juries have
been asked to classify the various
lands before the Board will meet
again.

The Wonderful Aphis,

The aphis is in one way the most
startling of all forms of insect life,
for. although the females can and do
lay eggs, its usual method of increase
is by a sort Of budding process, the
young growing on the bodies of the
parent exactly as brussels sprouts
grow out Of the stalks of the plant.
The old produce young at the rate of
twenty-five day. and as the young
are at once mature each can produce
its twenty-five on the following day.
1t positively frightens one to work
this multiplication out to a conclu-
sion. for il means this: Surprising that
the aphide could increase and multiply
without interference. the twenty-fifth
generation would be a number too long
to quote here. Put down a 1 and fol-
low it with % naughts and you will
lie within a few millions of it.

1t is estimated that 1000 local citi-
zens spent today out of the city. Last
evening every train that left was
crowded. The Z o'clock train north
over the c., c. & L. lines proved inef-
ficient to accommodate the crowd and
there was a great deal of grumbling
and complaint, but the company's local
officials offered no remedy. The train
consisted of combination car and a
single day coach. Both were packed
and damned. Women had no place
to sit and almost no place to stand.
They were crowded between seats and
onto the vestibuies. A number of
men, who had been the first into the
car, secured seats and were contented
to occupy them while the women
stood.
The Pennsylvania trains last even

modations, but today their capacity
was taxed. All outgoing trains were
loaded. The locals came in for the

Police Chief.

The Way q Criminal Fooled Paris
Police Chief.
In the Memories" of NJ. Claude,
chief of police during the reign of Ma
poleon Ill, there is much that is fas-
cinating to lovers of detective stories.
One of NJ. Claude's experiences was
that in which he was outwitted by a
clever criminal who saw in the police
chiefs resemblance to Beranger when
the poet was at the height of his pop
ularity a means of escape from cap
ture. The criminal had returned to
Paris and was living as rich student
in the Latin quarter. then in the height
of it's bohemian splendor.
Claude thought to make an easy
capture of his man by attending a GER
tain famous ballroom at the hour when
dancing was at its height. He tells
the story:
Il had no difficulty in discovering
him seated among a swarm Of pretty
girls and bewitching danseuses.
Convinced there were but two ways
of getting the better Of cunning enc
my-surprise and audacity-I walked
straight up to where my rascal was
seated. I walked slowly. with steady
steps. my eyes on the eyes of my man.
He was a dark skinned. handsome fell
low, with face as brazen as it was
sign that he recognized me. He turn
ed pale-he was mine!
II was almost near enough to cap
ture him when l saw him bend to the
ear Of one Of his companions. Instant
ly all the girls surrounded me and
stood in a feverish. excited. ardent
phalanx before me. They formed an
fmpenetrable barrier. behind which my
rascal escaped, while the women press
ed eagerly upon me. crying out:
'Beranger. 1t is Berangerv

the youthful spirits there the effect
of an electric spark. All the dancers
of the establishment stopped dancing
and surrounded me with acclamations
The students and young girls rushed
up to me, some bearing bouquets, 9TH

place rang with shouts, a hundred
times repeated, of 'vive Beranger.
Vive Beranger!
Il was aghast, and yet l understood
the trick. On the point Of being col
Jared by me, the man / had marked
down had recourse to this shrewd
game, which must have succeeded even
better than he expected. l certainly
had some points of resemblance to the
illustrious song maker or the whole
world of students and grisettes in the
Latin Quarter would not have fallen
so readily into his trap. I was as bald
as the poet at that time. and at all
times l have had a certain good ma
tured, sympathetic benevolence in my
appearance such as the portraits OF
Beranger show to this day.
We'll, if the youth of Paris counter
signed the intentional error of my clev
er scamp owed it to my resemblance
to the poet. Though l was tricked.

to own to these giddypates that | was
not Beranger. but Claude. the police
man, the agent OF all the prosecutors

restoration had done so much harm
to their idol. l escaped from the ova
