Ysnve,s Eirst Ninlin.

An interesting story is told of NJ
Eugene Ysaye. IN his younger and
poorer days he was very anxious tc
secure Guadagnini violin which he
saw in a pawn brokers' window in
Hamburg. Although he had not the
wherewithal, he asked the pawn brok
er to lay it aside as he might be able
to purchase it some day. The man
agreed to keep it for a certain time
Ysaye went back to his rooms with
very mingled feelings. How could he
raise the necessary money? That was
the question which puzzled and wor
ried him. To his great surprise ne
met friend who had just arrived
from Belgium, and in despair begged
him to lend him enough to buy the
wonderful instrument cts a large
sum to pay, said the friend, "and
haven't enough money with me-
would you lend it if you had?' asked
the violinist Eyes" was the reply
Look here, then" said Ysaye, ''yor
deal in diamonds?" YES" ''TheT
leave a few diamonds as security ant
get me the precious Guadagnini.
Ysaye's friend was surprised at the
proposal, but realizing the earnestnes'
of the request, consented to do so
"In this way" says Ysaye, Il was
married to my first love among the
fiddles-my Guadagnini."

Chicaco "Frats,, in Trouble.

There are hard times ahead for
Chicago's public school "frats" and
sororities. The president of the
Board of Education, despite the fact
that he has son and daughter who
have belonged to them, declares that
he has nc use for them, and the new
superintendent of schools, Mrs. Ella
F1agg Young. is strong in her opposi-
ton. Mrs Young believes that the
"frats" should be wiped out. She
favors, as substitute, plan which
has been a success in one high school,
where the faculty has instituted a
series of afternoon and evening dances
and entertainments for all the pupils.
A club house has also been provided
in a nearby building.

MISSOURI FARMS.

Any other State.

Greater in Number Than Those of
Any other State.
Missouri has more farms than any
other State in the Union. Within her
borders are 2S4,SS6 farms, which aver
age 120 acres to the farm. The I'M
proved land to each farm averages 70
acres, or 621a per cent. These farms
are worth $35 per acre on an average,
Among the States of the middle
west Missouri has smaller farms than
many of them Ohio is an exception,
where 276,000 farms average only So
acres. Illinois has 264,000 farms, of
124 acres each Iowa has 22S,0OO
farms, of Isl acres; Kansas $4,000
of 2SS acres. In the United States
farms average 146 acres, but only so
per cent is improved land
The average Missouri farm has 10
cattle, 4 horses, l mule, 26 hogs, .
sheep and a fraction of goat.
Fully one-third of the States popu-
lation depend directly or indirectly
upon animal products for their exist
ence The income from animals and
animal products is $130,000000 an
nually. Fifty-five per cent of the
farmers have their principal income
from live stock.

to publish scandalous items, even
though they be a matter of record in
court. Revolvers, "knucks," dirks and

Except on dining cars no liquor

Because a Kansas City man covertly

law was passed making it felony to

of age caught smoking cigarette will
be liable to a fine of $40, and anyone
selling to such youth, or giving to
him cigarette, or "the makings,' will
be liable to fine up to $100, one-half
of which is to go to the informer.
A hog, no matter how much of a
razor-back, is to be held to be worth
more than $50 for criminal prosecu-
ton purposes, at least. 1t will be
grand larceny to steal one.
The new game law is practically
prohibitive. The man who never hunts
will feel it, in that it is to be Jail
offense to sell any game whatever in
the State. There will be no more
game served in restaurants. Hunters
may eat what they kill, or may give
it away, but they may not sell it.. No

BIG CROPS IN EUROPE.
Production Is Reported Greater
than That for Two Years.

With the mid+harvest reached in
Europe, the Department of Agricul-
ture issued report showing the con-
ditions of the crops in foreign coun-
tries. The conditions are the least
promising in Central Europe. AS to
this section the report says:
Little improvement was permitted
last month because of the weather. In
Germany and Austria-Hungary con-
siderable decline in this years wheat
crop and a moderate decrease in rye
seem assured. The reduction in wheat
in Central Europe will be 50,000,00O
bushels below last year, when a bare
average crop was reaped.
Western and Southwestern Eu-
rope" the report adds, ARE reaping
crops much more satisfactory. In
Great Britain, on an increased acre
age, the condition of wheat is placed
4 per cent above average.
In Spain a yield is expected suffi-
cient to supply the domestic demands
In Italy the crop yield generally seems
satisfactory, but the quality is poor
An official estimate places the PROB
able harvest 10 per cent, or about To-
000,0 bushels, above last year.
The latest official crop report of
France is unfavorable as regards con-
dition, but an average wheat harvest
is still possible, owing to the increased
area
Throughout Eastern and Southern
Europe good crop conditions have been
maintained In Roumania, in spite OF
a smaller area of wheat, crop much
larger than last year is expected. In
Bulgaria and Servia the promise IS
favorable, while in Russia the crops
are rated good In the latter country
the acreage of winter wheat is I'M
doubtedly less than last year, but
spring wheat is the crop much more
largely grown.
Outside of Europe and the United
States, Canada is the only important
producer which harvests its crops at
this season; latest reports thence are
, decidedly encouraging, indicating for
all grains, except winter wheat, crop
much in excess of last year.
at is still too early to Judge of the
between-season crops to be furnished
by India, Australia and Argentina.
The favorable monsoon in India gives
promise of favorable season, but 1T
must no horne in mind that the next
wheat crop has not yet been sown
there.
Seeding in Australia has been ia
vored by plentiful rains. In Argen-
tina serious drought prevailed for
months and at the date of the latest
reports had been broken only in part;
a large decrease in the area under
wheat seems certain"

That the skilled beggar can make a
larger sum a week than the average
Industrious working man was one of
the opinions advanced by the chairman
(Robert Pierpont) at the annual meet
ing of the London Mendicity Society.
1t was probable, he said that in the
streets of London alone something like
100000 a year was given away in
casual charity by persons who knew
nothing about the conditions and cir
cumstances of those to whom they
gave
The total number of begging letters
received by the society during 1908
was 1858, which. with those already
in their possession, made total Of no
fewer than 23S,93S. He pointed out
that about % per cent of begging let
ter writers were utter impostors, and
only about Is per cent were deserving
of help.
Mr. Pierpont reminded those pres
ent that the society was originally
formed by the first Duke of Yelling
ton, owing to the number of beggars
who, protesting to have served under
him at Waterloo and in the Peninsula
wars, continually accosted him in the
street for alms.-Reynolds Newspaper

find LAXNESs IN Banks
TESTS by Comptroller Show Ma
jority of Directors Fig

FEW FAMILIAR WITH LAWS
List of dad" Institutions Formed
Must Be Examined Every
Three Months.

Comptroller of the Currency Muir
ray, who since his appointment by
President Roosevelt has been doing
lot OF housekeeping, beginning with
the national bank examiners, is now
paying some attention to directors of
national banks. There are $4,000 of
them, and short time ago they were
astonished to receive a letter from the
Comptroller of the Currency asking
them what they knew about the loans
and discounts their cashiers were max
Ing, the signatures and collateral of
borrowers, and the general habits of
employees of their banks In other
words, Mr.. Murray wanted to know if
ne directors were really directing.
The information now in the posses
sion of Mr.. Murray is to the effect that
only 20 per cent of the national bank
directors are familiar with the condi-
tons of their banks in all details.
Four per cent practically admitted that
they knew nothing of the state of the
banks with which they are connected.
Loans were approved by directors in
only 81 per cent of all cases. The Off
GERS had full control and used their
own judgment as to loans in nearly
one-half of all the institutions. Eighty
per cent of the directors could not Gel
tify to the genuineness of signatures
on notes discounted by the banks. Six
ty per cent tacitly permitted officers to
permit overdrafts. Comptroller Muir.
ray is wrought up over the laxness
displayed in the examination of loans
and collateral by directors.
In 500 cases this examination was
made only one a year. In only one.
half of the banks was the condition of
reserve regularly inquired into By the
directors. The cash, however, was
counted periodically by committee
of the directors in a substantial ma
jority of the institutions.
The Comptroller has classified every
national bank in the United States.
Those whose directors admitted that
they were not familiar with the work.
ings of their institutions have, been
classed as bad" banks and will be
subjected to four examinations each

The last of the old-fashioned stage
coaches that supplied the scattered
settlers of the plains country in
southwestern Kansas with mail from
the outside world once each week will
soon be discarded and automobiles
will take their place. In that coun-
try of long distances the settlers and
ranchers are so progressive that they
want to hear from the outside world
every day The twice-a-week mail
service with stage coaches and buck
boards would not do. The railroads
have halted and hesitated about
plunging through this long stretch of
plains country and the lonely settlers
of the prairies appealed to Uncle Sam
for relief. The government is now
determining the feasibility of serving
the people living in three counties in
southwestern Kansas and one county
in southeastern Colorado with a daily
mail service by automobile.

WOMEN OF THE CIRCUS.
They Are Careful Livers and Very
Feminine in Their Tastes.

They Are Careful Lfvers and Very
Feminine I'm Their Tastes.
The woman of the circus leads a
much more careful life than her sis
ter OF the stage, says an exchange. OF
her diet she must be critically careful
for in performance a mistake of an
inch means death, and to be in the
best physical condition she must pay
the price in life almost ascetic. The
girl who spends the working hours of
her life flying through the air thirty
feet above the hard tanbark cannot
take any chances
Ihey are genuine women, too. For
instance, it is told of one remarkable
trapeze artist that she is always
AFRAID when she is on a railroad
journey and that this is the one fea-
ture of the life of the circus that she
fears. Another who is a notable tight
rope artist, and capers and dances on
the slender surface of a thin wire
twenty-five feet above the ground is
afraid to cross the streets in a crowd
ed city.
They know the danger of their call
ing. Accidents happen right along,
but they are not published to the
world, for the circus must ever carry
message of cheerfulness. But in
surance companies, though they will
grant insurance to locomotive engi-
neer, will never do so to circus aero
bat.
Even on the road there is plenty of
domestic life to be found among these
women. Many of them are great read
ers. The foreign performers spend a
large part of their time learning the
language of this country. Some have
sons or brothers at college.
An interesting point about the life
of the circus that would commend it
to almost any woman is the fact that
it seems to be a sort of panacea of old
age. The open air life, the constant
exercise and the careful regimen have
their reward.
Most performers of any merit are
well paid, and the life on the road is
sufficiently economical to enable them
to save a considerable proportion Of
this salary This money is largely
put into handsome homes where dur
ing the off season the woman of the
circus can be for the time actually the
woman of the home, her dearest ambi-
ton.
