Every time she goes abroad she brings

court. The three wings of the chateau
form a capacious residence that would
accommodate many more little dancing
girls than are included in the school.
This is the most important incident in
tho history Of the school since the dancer
founded it four years ago in Berlin. While
at the Plaza Hotel here Miss Duncan
received from the Grand Duke Vladimir,
through the intendaut Of the Marion
Theater in st. Petersburg. an invitation
to bring the school to that city for six
weeks. She was to receive $4,000 rubles
for the engagement and the Marien Thea
tire was TO be at her disposal free Of charge
But she thought the children would be
more benefited by a sojoun in Paris.

Even more recently a good many
newspapers in this country East and West,
printed an ofhand little item to the effect
that a French syndicate had closed a deal

mines for that absurd little piece Of gum
and cigarette money n hundred and
fifty millions Of dollars in gold, not in
milk tickets, rain checks or tin tags, be
1t understood, but in gold.
these stories which gain credenoe in
the United States about Pedro Alvarado
diverting, to Mexioans and Americans
living in Mexico who know the facts.
sAlvardo had been portrayed up here
as q man &c much richer than anybody
else on earth that he makes Mr.. Rookie
Teller look like ONE elderly down and out
person standing wistfully in the bread
line,> Not 30 long ago an American maya
published q picture Of Pedro Alvardo's
Mexican palace'-a chalk drawing Of a
building OF quite ar impossible magnih-
cence looking like a sort Of architectural
cross between the Brussels and Peterhof
palaces and the Library Of Congress IN
Washington.
Sin this palace Pedro the peon was
represented as having an ivory and gold
trimmed piano in every room, including
the solutions drawing room, and it was
told that In all OF tho m"ultitudinous patios
Of the palace there were marble foun-
tains spouting French perfumes and
toilet waters imported from Gaul by the
shipload and liked over the mountains
on burrobaok, regardless Of cost.
Automatic harps were representa-
as being built into inches In the walls
around the grounds of Pedro the poems
palace and the air wa said to be vibrant
day and night with the golden strains
Of these ingenious contraptions.
when quality Notwithstanding to this
same hasheesh narrative-to0k dinner
with Pedro he was pictured as sending
carriages. each drawn by six pure white
silver shod mules with gold harness
fittings, to fetch elch guest, and when
the guests departed from the feed Pedro
was portrayed as stalking each one of
them to the carriage and mules in which
he was brought, together with the gold
dishes from which the guest had par
taken OF food, and 30 on. l believe that
Caligula had a trick Of fixing his dinner
guests out in this way just TO make them
feel pretty good over things before he
had them tossed to the lions Of chucked
into watts Of molten lead. and the writer's
OF these frances about Pedro the peon
must have picked up their atmosphere,
as 1t were. out Of the pages Of Gibbon or
S%uetonius and then wrapped the ancient

Now they've got it that Pedro Al
varado is broke said a New Yorker,
who is engaged in silver mining at Pinos
Atlas, in the province Of Chihuahua.
Mexico. Il read 1t 10 the papers a couple
of days ago that Pedro Alvarado. Mex
ico'e noted mine owning peon, was busted
to the final stage Of bustedness, that
presently he would be looking for a job
for forty cents a day. and all that sort
of name rot.
sOf COURSE IT isn't true. Hardly any
thing that ever has been printed in this
country about Pedro Alvarado is true.

that instead of being a half Indian greaser
which he is-Pedro really is a straight
out descendant Of pure Castilians-which
is pure moonshine. First you'll read
UP here that Pedro's mining holdings
are utterly ~valueless. and then again
you'll read that the mines he owns and
operates make the product Of Goloonda
and Ophir seem like the s~weepings Of
a tinplate factory.
perhaps you recall that about three
months ago there was a splendiferous
paragraph adrift in the newspapers to
the musical effect hat the a%uriferous
Peon Pedro had begged President Por-
frio Diaz of Mexico for the distinguished
privilege OF paying of the national
debt of Mexico.
The Mexican national debt Is a trifing
little matter Of some undreds'of millions,
and Pedro the peon was represented as
feeling ~fretful, not to say perturbed over
the fact that his beloved country owed
anybody anything, and so-the yarn went
on-he asked Diaz to let him square every
body up to whom Mexico owed anything
&C that the ancient land OF Montezuma
could take a fresh start and sail of once
more on al even keel, 30 to speak.
president Diaz was represented as
having declined this magnanimou offer
on the ground that he didn't feel as II he
could exactly stomach the idea Of having

financial furry of last November so
we'll. The high price Of wheat, bar
ley and other cereals which were
harvested and marketed early
brought to the farmers an abundance
of money which was deposited in the
banks giving them abundance of
available cash to conduct their busi-
ness. Had we had medium crop
throughout the state and low prices
for our crops, the situation would
have been vastly changed, but thanks
to North Dakota she usually takes
care of her children. sa
.3s We. are: pleased to report that the
banks of the state passed the crisis
in excellent condition, save one,
which we understand was able to
resume business soon after 1t closed
its doors. Your president in his in.
quiries found that this. bank was
crippled on account of excessive loans
which is the one thing to be avoided
above all others in good banking.
Our understanding of the emergen-
:cy currency bill passed by congress
May 31st, 1908 is, that national bank
ing associations each having an un-
impaired capital and surplus of not
less than twenty per centum, not less
than ten in number having an aggre-
gate capital and surplus Of five mil
lion dollars, may form voluntary as
sociations to be designated as nation
al currancey associations. When all of
the preliminary requirements are
carried into effect, then this associa-
tion or individual banks can borrow
money: to the extent Of 20 per cent
on its bills receivable, commercial
paper or other like assets and 80
per cent on bonds for a period OF
four months and pay for the use
thereof at the rate of per cent per
annum and afterwards an additional
tax of one per centum per month for
each month until tax Of 10 per
centum per annum is reached. Should
q bank have any government bonuds
these will be accepted at lower rate
Of interest, also municipal and other
high grade bonds at the original rate
Of interest. These penalties imposed
for not meeting the banks obligations
at the end of the four months are
somewhat more stringent than those
| usually resorted to by bank, pro-
!! yided collections were to be made on
demand. 4!
Considering the above, can cor
| poration receive any benefit from this
oct Of congress unless 1t be of gigan
tic proportions, or an association be
| Of sufficient size and strength to gain
admittance? For example, the cities
4 of Minneapolis and st. Paul, un.
