The Ever-Picturesoue Seine

We have heard almost too much of the
streets OF Paris, and not enough of that
street most distinctive of all-the River
Seine. Flowing through the city for six
miles. it Is highway, with its bateauy
mouches its bridges and quays. OF
dark night the Seine may seem to lugu-
brious fancy the symbol of death in the

lnky crime. oozy and silent wickedness.
Yet normally. even perhaps to suicides,
the Seine is but the mirror of city's
mood. There are lights observation-disclosures
heightened IN the water; the Louvre and
the Conciergerie, shown in the stream
are things fairer than their originals. 1t

How to Grow Muskmelons.

Owners of gardens and people with
farms, In many parts of Vermont and
other sections of northern New England
where the soil is stiff clay or hard CLAW
loan often refrain from trying to raise
muskmelons, or try once and fail and
then give it up as bad job, though musk.
melons are one of the finest and most east
ly raised of garden products if the proper
method is pursued. The way to do it is
to plant the seed in a mixture of coal
ashes and well rotted stable manure. Sc
lect well drained spot in the garden
or field and make the hills at least six
feet apart. For each hill dig hole the
size of half bushel measure level with
the top of the ground. Put into each
hole peck of black well rotted manure
and a peck of sifted coal ashes Work
them thoroughly together and at the top
add little sand if available or mere
trife of the natural garden SOIL but not
over a quart or so to a hill.
The pulverizing process should raise the
mixture in the hill an inch or two above
the surrounding level and if the ground
is rather damp raise three or four inches
by adding more coal ashes. Plant the
seeds half inch deep and use plenty of
seeds, but often the plants get out their
fourth leaves and the danger from bugs
is over pull out all but three or four
plants in hill. This is essential If you
don't reduce the number of plants to
three or four you won't get any melons
The kind to plant is either the Emerald
Gem" or the Melted Gem" The seed
catalogues are full of varieties, but these
two are the best and the safest in this
northern climate. Both are good crop,
pen and fine melons. The Emerald
Gem" is rather the better of the two, but
it is well enough to plant some of each
as the Melted Gem is little earlier
The planting should be between the Goth
Of May and June lst. Nothing is gained |
by planting caller as melons started in a
cold wet spell never do well. These di-
rections are only useful on cold, stiff soils. |
On light, warm sandy loans no special |
process is necessary except plenty of fer |

WAGON DRIVERS WRIST
BROKEN IN RUNAWAY

Will Reed, driver for Las Vegas
roller mills, received bad fracture
of the left wrist yesterday afternoon
in runaway accident.
He was delivering load of flour
to the West side and on the roao
near the Onion truck gardens he got
out of the wagon in an endeavor to
induce one of the horses to pull his
share of the load The team at once
became more spirited and started to
run. Reed climbed onto the wagon in
short order and grabbed the lines
feeling certain that he would be able
to control the horses. But one of
the lines had been caught on hame
ring and all the pulling and tugging
the alert young man could do was of
no avail.
The horses plunged forward at a
break-neck speed, upsetting the wag.

BANKERS CONDEMN PROPOSED
REFORMS AS TOO RADICAL

Chicago, Sept. 17-Resolutions con
demning both the guarantee deposi
tory law and the postal savings bank,
were adopted today by the American
Bankers association at its final meet
ing.
Arthur. Reynolds, chairman of the
legislative committee, declared that
the danger of political use of such a
power as offered by the postal banks
should cause all patriots to hesitate
before adopting such radical meas
ure."
He also took issue with President
Taft on the investment of funds in
such banks, declaring the Legislative
committee opposed the investment of
such sums in u. S. bonds or state
bonds.
As a substitute, the committee
recommended state and federal super
vision or the creation of separate saw
ings departments in the national
banks.

Muskogee, Okla, Sept. 17.-After

The town Of Taft is new one and

til few days ago, when the three
white men in question decided to
open up store there, The first signs
OF bitter feeling came when boy

night.
The white men have announced
they intend to hold the fort, and have
armed themselves for this purpose.
1t is possible the governor may order
out company of the state militia
to preserve order there in case fur

O'Clock on four hours invasion OF
Milwaukee. Entering an automobile,
I the presidential party, including Gov
ernor Davidson and Mayor Rose,
drove through an immense crowd,
which lined the street to the new
auditorium, where he received an ad-
dress of welcome, thence to the Press
club and Chamber of Commerce,
thence to the state fair, where the
president made brief address.
The train proceeded direct from
the fair grounds to a switch to La
Crosse, where it remained half an
hour late this afternoon. Thence it
will go to wsnona, the home of Chair
man Tawney of the appropriations
committee of the house. I
The president has been receiving
many Inquiries as to when he will
speak on the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill
and it is said he will discuss that sub
ject at Winona tonight. The presi-
dent is now in "insurgent' territory
and there is much interest in what he
will say.
Urges Postal Savings Banks.
At the fair grounds the president
devoted most of his time to postal
savings banks, declaring he stood firm
for the redemption of the promise of
the republican platform for the es-
tablishment of such system. He
said postal savings banks would not
attract depositors from the present
banks, but would attract the accounts
of those who spent their money just
because they knew of no safe place to
nut it in. He pointed out that large
deposits of foreigners in this country,
which are now sent abroad, could be
retained here by such system.
Talks to Press Club
At the Press club, President Taft
was introduced as a reporter who had
attained the highest Office of the peo-
pie. The president replied that he
was not much of success as news
paper man and had no difficulty in
separating himself from his job
without violence" The president

GOOD PRICES IN SIGHT.

At the beginning of the cotton pick ing season last year none would have ventured the statement that the crop would be the largest ever made. Such. however, is the fact the yield for crop of 1sos-Os being 13.S25,457 bales the next largest being the crop of 19O4-o5, which was l3.51O,9S2 bales.
 That the present crop will fall far below that of last year is universally conceded. The condition of the crop is worse than 1t has been in many years, and 1t is a conservative esti- mate to place this years output at least 2.500.000 bales short of last year. If this should be so, and everything points that way. every pound of cot ton ought to bring easily 12c, while 1t may reasonably be expected to go beyond that figure We have here in Montgomery practically no cotton of last years growth. the number on hand September l being only 37O bales. This is the situation in all interior cot ton towns. The mills are not heavily stocked and will have to buy at once tq meet their orders.
