 Go on Bankers Bond.

New York, June 21. - Charles w. Morse, eX-banker, steamship and ice trust organizer, who was released through the efforts of his wife after being seven months in the Tombs on S12J,OO0 bail following a decision of the United States circuit court of ap- peals, declares:
 Il will take an office downtown at once and start settling up my affairs. l am certain that I will get a new trial in the fall. Of the outcome of that trial 1 have no doubt.
 Il have done surprising things in the past, and expect to repeat past per formances in that regard. I don't know just how far I will be able to square off my debts by October, be- cause that won't give me a great deal of time. Nevertheless I will work night and day to do so.
 Mir. Morse has until Oct next to roam about this country at will, but he must not leave the United States.
 To the untiring devotion. courage and loyalty of his wife, aided by the eloquence of Lawyer Martin w. Little ton, he owes his freedom.
 ''I have done no more than any other woman would do for the husband she lOveS," was Mrs. Morses modest com ment as she smiled through her tears. They were tears of happiness and tri- umph.
 After Mrs. Morse through her untir- ing efforts secured eighteen of her hus- bands friends to put up bonds of 5000 each Judge Lacombe agreed to allow Frederick Wagner and Joseph D. Carroll to furnish $15,O00 and $20,- GOO respectively. Then Morse was talk. en from United States Marshal Hen. kel's office to the court and released.

Beaver, Okla, Sept. 10.--In order to
raise money to help pay off the debt
of the new Christian church at Beaver
City. the young men OF the Sunday
school organized last spring and have
cultivated fifty acres Of broomcorn,
the proceeds OF the entire crop to be
turned into the church treasury. Jas.
Crabtree. teacher in the Sunday
school, donated fifty acres for the pur.
pose. and the young men planted, cul-
tivated and are now harvesting the
broomcorn crop They expect 10 se-
cure at least $500 from the crop. In
this locality the crop as rule was
short this year because Of the drouth,
but fortunately this fifty-acre field
was located IN the path OF recent rains
Each day Of the last week the young
men drove 10 the field to harvest the
brush. The young ladies Of the Sun

Meets Hills Com
petition

El Reno, OKLA. Sept. 10.--The gaunt-
let thrown down by me Hartman lines
has been taken up by the Rock Island
system and that company announces
that 1t will lessen the time for passen-
ger service to the coast by at least
two hours and about seven or eight
hours for mail service. The action is
the result Of the announcement that
the Union Pacific and Northwestern
and Great Northern mail trains will
make the distance from Chicago to the
coast eight hours less than the pres
ent schedule time and passenger serv-
Ice will be two hours less. The pas
senger association was notified ten
days ago of the change to be made the
first of next month by the Hill lines
which change is contrary to the agree
ment of the association.
The Rock Island is the first road to
meet the new time card The change
was shrewd move by the Hill lines
made in advance of the letting of the
mail carrying contracts by govern
ment. The road evidently intends to
show the government that they can
make fast time to the coast and then
ask for the contract tc carry the mails.
Now it is thought the Rock Island and
other roads will compete and there
will be 4 lively scramble which viii
result in much faster time from Chi
cago west. Officials Of the Rock Is
land are now in Chicago to discuss
the situation.

where DR.. Erwin lived during hiS So

have asked advice of Nj. NORM, of the

not as long as there was a Danish doc

almost certain that DR.. Erwin would
give the same explanation which hi

SACRED IN
MANY COUNTRIES
Reverenced Not Only by Budd-
hists, but in Some Parts OF
Great Britain.

Flights OF wild geese are reported from
The eastern counties In number beyond
all p~recendent, says the Pail Mall Gazette,
a result OF sudden chill lately, and their
appetite after the journey is so keen that
some of the best grazing marshes are
threatened with ruin; nevertheless we
learn many farmers decline to Kill birds
which they think almost sacred.
1t was j. G.. Frazer of the Colder
bough who suggested that the reverence
felt for various creatures In various parts
of the world is a survival of totenlsm'
Plenty of evidence has accumulated since
then. Caesar mentions, as school boys
recollect, tina the inhabitants of Britain
might not eat the hare, the cock and the
goose. In the second case the supersti-
ton is quite lost probably, but legendary
records keep the memory of II In lrelana.
But OF the other examples enough can De
found ever at the present day. There Is
a goose fair at Great Crosby. In Lanca-
shire, so called apparently because the
goose is vigorously forbidden. 1t is even
asserted broadly that the inhabitants
think the goose too sacred" to Gator
did not long ago. The same feeling ruled
IN the Hebrides and other parts of Scot
land.
No one believes at the present dag that
the Capitol was saved by geese or any
bther means. but IL the story is not true
DIT becomes all the more significant in the
folklorist's point of view, as showing that
the bird was specially reyerenced In the
primitive age OF Rome. The Crusaders
under Walter the Penniless, 10000 souls,
are we are assured, piously followed a
goose and a goat marching in the van,
and a terrible mess these holy animals led
them into. In Egypt the goose was the

cious figure of it is extant, inscribed:
1.-THE good Goose greatly beloved"
1t was the national flag of Burma and
of Handy, Ceylon. Wherever Buddhism
rules the goose is venerated. Therefore
ii is a leading motif in the art Of Japan,
and a symbol OF peace and happiness In
China. Figures of geese are as indispen-
sable at a Chinese wedding as Is bride
cake with us. In both countries, as also
in Burma and Siam, weights are made in
the shape of a goose as a token OF good
faith, though the connection is not OBJ
yious; but In ancient Egypt the same
custom ruled, and Layard found goose
weights among his first discoveries at
Nineveh. A row of gigantic geese sur
rounds the great Buddhist temple OF An
ajapoora. The deyout cherish a fond fancy
that all geese perform an aerial pilgrim
mage OF the holiest Of lakes in the Him
alayas every year, transporting the sins
OF the neighborhood; returning with a
new stock of inspiration for the encour-
agement OF local piety.
