some parties temporarily located IN
the Champaign capital and engaged
in selling patent pantrdes There
are suspicious that stock-jobbing

operating the patent pantry affair
are the same parties who turned the
trick at Hagerstown has not yet
been ascertained but the work SC

JUMPED ON A FENCE
AND CAUGHT A FLY

There have been many anecdotes
OF remarkable feats in baseball, but
probably the most spectacular is told
by Hugh G. Fullerton in the June
American Magazine, in the course OF
an article full OF such stories:
THAT Baltimore crowd, a team OF
inferior players winning by dasn
nerve and courage, gave many ex-
hibitions of Individual daring, but
one of the greatest was the feat of
Wee Willie Keeler on the home
grounds. Right field on the Balti-
more grounds of those days was the
terror OF visiting players. 1t was
down hill, rough and weedy, and back
of 1t was high fence, peculiarly
constructed for advertising purposes
Inside the fence sloped at an angle,
of about 65 degrees. being straight
on the outer side. Boston was play
ing there late in the season in which
the two teams had their frantic
struggle for the pennant, and late
In the game, with runners ON bases.
Stahl drove a long fly 10 right that
seemed likely to win the game for
Boston. Keeler, one OF the 4 setest
men in the business, seeing the ball
was going over his head, leaped upon
the slope OF the fence and started
to run along 1t, going higher and
higher and just as the ball was GO
ing over the fence. he caught H..
His momentum carried him higher
along the incline, and before the big
crowd realized that he caught the
ball, he was running along the top
of the fence, and then holding the
ball aloft, he plunged over and went

AS the country revives in vigor aft
er the bushes depression, 1t is like
man bestirring himself after an en-
for:ed idleness. The exertion causes
the blood OF such a man to pulse
with greater strength through his
veins, and he feels the glow of health
and strength.
Money is the blood OF the business
world. Bushes activity sends
money or credit money-rushing
through the arteries of trade, and the
bushes and Industrial worlds take
on new vigor.
But suppose in the case of the man
there were an ugly tumor which
claimed a great share of the blood
in his veins. The blood so diverted
would leave his body less well-nour-
ished for labor, wouldn't it?
The national bank returns, under
the April call, have been compiled,
and show some striking figures. AS
compared with April, 19V7-this was
before the panic-ibank loans have
increased in the United States by
$427 100000. This is, nearly half a
billion dollars more than have been
loaned out to be used In business.
But in what business Thirty mil
lions OF the icrease-less than 10 per
Cent--has been loaned in that vast
empire west of the Rocky mountains.
Eighty-two millions or about one
fifth of the increase has been loaned
In the great middle-west, from the
Rockies TO the Hudson river and from
Lake Superior to the Gulf of MexI-
co. An equal amount of the increase
has gone TO the eastern states, ex-
cept New York city. The balance

are compelled to keep cash reserve
equal to one-fourth of their deposits.
These banks may loan to merchants
and manufacturers and home-builders
s75 out of every 800 Of their depos-.
its. The other s25 must be held to
guarantee the soundness or the bank
and to force careful banking.
But 40 per cent of this cash re-
serve may be deposited in depository
banks or reserve repositories" and
still be called cash.
New York is designated as depos-
itory. and the New York banks bid
Q per cent for these deposits. But
being deposited in New York, this
money (or rs per cent of iD can be
loanet.
So it is that the banks throughout
the country are forbidden to loan to
lei al merchant, manufacturer and
home builder on security that is well
known to bank officers, and yet this
same money finds its way to New
York, and there is swallowed up in
the Wall street game. 1t goes to
Wall street because 1t must be kept
as nearly cash as possible, and so
must go on "call loans" and call
loans are principally made on stocks
because stocks are something that
can always be sold in New York.
Up to a year ago these call loans
we're prin, ipally made TO brokers at
from 2 1-2 to 3 per cent; the bank
ers making small margins. The
brokers in turn loaned this money
to their clients from 5 to per cent.
But within the last year the banks
themselves have been taking this
added interest by loaning directly tc
the stock gambler.
The deposits of out-of town banks
in New York average about $500, ,O0O.'
900, and as the requirements of the
New York national banks are no diff
ferent from those of any other city
three-fourths of this is available
for call loans and to gamblers II
stocks. So it is that besides its owl
money, New York diverts from thu
legitimate business of the country a
leas. $500 900 600 to buy chips in thu
big Wall street gamble.
Money is cheap in New York, bu
only cheap for certain purposes-fo
purchases OF stock on margin.
1t is through this tremendous out

in prices of stocks may be account
