AN OLD NATIONAL LAW.

The discovery of federal law more
than a quarter of a century on the
statutes. which prohibits the drawing
of checks for sums less than a dol
lar has created no little excitement
at the financial centers. The provis-
ion declares that mo person shall
make, issue, circulate, or pay out, any
note, check, memorandum, token or
other obligation, for less sum than
one dollar intended to circulate as
money, or to be received or used in
lieu of lawful money of the United
States"
The Providence Journal, comment
ing upon this law, says:
TN all probability. II the provision
fs determined to be directed at check
making as usually practised--which
IS sufficiently incredible@-it would be
found unconstitutional. To discover
any law or sense in an authority
which presumed in such manner to
regulate a transaction 30 peculiarly
OF a private nature as the exchange
OF the bank check would be difficult.
The acting secretary of the treasury
is reported to be perturbed by the
revelation of the possibilities which lie
III the PROVISION ana mas cdlleu upon
the law department for ruling. Mail
order houses, whose business would
be particularly affected by the restric-
ton, are said to be concerned for an
Interpretation. The genesis of the
provision will doubtless be soon re-
vealed; that it originated with the
committee on codlfication is altogether
unlikely.
1.-THE SUGGESTION Is plausible that
the provision dates back to the civil
war period, when fractional paper of
one kind and another which did not
bear the government stamp was in
circulation. Older citizens will recall
the 'shinplasters' and tokens of that
period. But whatever, then or now, the
occasional circumstances to create a
famine in genuine currency in some
quarters, it is not the case that the
bank check as ordinarily drawn, re-
ceived and settled bears any relation
to money in the sense of this strange
~ alarming provision"

roo MANY CATS.

The fanciers OF cats resent the at
tacks made upon them by the bird
fanciers, and Professor Forbush, state
ornithologist OF Massachusetts,, has to
defend himself against charge OF
advocating the licensing OF the cats
OF which he is not guilty.
There ought to be a limit to cat
keeping, but there Is not; and 1t
ought to be a crime for people who
keep cats to scatter about neighbor-
hoods filters OF half-starved kittens
because they are too tender-hearted
TO drown or chloroform them.
census of the cats kept would be
a good thing. Some families in the
cities keep as high as seven or eight.
and In the country anywhere from
fourteen to thirty-hve are kept on
farms, and in the young bird season
there is no doubt they kill as many
birdlings as boys and other enemies
The cat has It's good points, but there
is such thing as having cats too
numerous.
A Boston paper says: MANY years
ago Robert T. Thomas 'Almanack
made this statement: "The cat is a
good mousetrap and it is easy to
set" That is a definition worthy Of
DR.. Samuel Johnson's Dictionary. II

BEDROOM DRAPERIEs.

The new draperies for autumn are
striking in effect.
Birds and leaves and flowers riot
over them in gorgeous abundance.
Cretonnes are decorated with huge
splashes of yellow chrysanthefiaufns.
Passion flowers on a cream back
ground. big and little, in wreaths and
single blossoms.
The palm leaf which has not played
much part in decoration for several
years, is back again.
The most unusual. perhaps, is the
bird design, from which come some
wonderful color effects.
On dull. buff ground, for example,
will be whole f1ocks Of tropical birds,
arranged in conventional pattern, some-
what like the designs stamped upon
crepe used for kimonas and the like.
Not only will these be used for cur
tains, but for bedspreads, table covers.

OUR JAPANESE VISITORS.

The consensus of opinion is wher-
ever the honorary commercial COM
lnissioners Of Japan have appeared
that they are wonderfully able men
upon mission of business which will
prove profitable to both Japan and
America.
These commissioners from Nippon
have just been entertained by the
business men of Milwaukee, and they
are unanimous" says The journal Of
that city, lin praising their dignity,
their courtesy and their tactfulness.
They express amazement at the great
power OF the Japanese to acquire
knowledge. The visitors ask questions
in a rapld-fire sort of way, but every
question goes to the heart of the
subject. If they do not learn every
thing that there is to learn. 1t is not
because they do not use high intelli-
gence in trying to unearth vital facts
or are unable TO comprehend them.
II is because the answers are not all
ways perfect.
Several score OF these Nipponese
gentlemen were scattered among the
representative Milwaukeeans at the
banquet In their honor Wednesday
evening. Now, Milwaukee Is no mean
city and Milwaukee's citizens are no
mean citizens. one could hardly fail
to compare and to contrast hosts and
guests. And, having done this, one
could not resist the conviction that
brown men that dominate the orient
are in no way an inferior race.
Baron Kanda, the vice chairman, a
graduate Of Amherst and head pro-
lessor in the college of peers at To-
kio, spoke in English with all the
grace and ease OF the most accom-
plished post-prandial orator"
This is the general verdict; and It
must be pleasing to the Japs to find
that they are making such a deep and
lasting impression.

EASY ADMINISTRATION OF THE
LAW.

The sheriff who has the Smith muir
der case in hand over at Haddam is
not showing up as a sleuth in taking
his brother as a suspect if the An
sonia Sentinel has an accurate record
of the case. The Sentinel says: 1T
will be remembered that his victim
was found in the Connecticut river
with his head battered in and a sew
enty pound stone tied to his leg TO-
weight him down. After the body was
recovered, Henry was suspected of
knowing something about the crime.
The sheriff called and found that the
poor man was suffering from an at
tack of malaria, and so kindly let him
sleep. The next morning, when the
sympathetic sheriff again called,
Henry was missing having left be-
hind a note to the effect that he was
tired of life and didn't care to live
any longer under suspicion.
HE was taken at his word, and q
search was commenced for his body.
A few days later, however, Henry
was found very much alive in an up
per room, but just as the sheriff was
ABOUT to say: Henry. look out, for
If you don't, may arrest YOU the

ed out of the window and took to

seems to know great deal better
than the sheriff does. No one has seen
him since"
Henry didIrt like being closely fol-
lowed, so he agreed to surrender if
the sheriff would call off his posss
and wait few days, which he ac-
ocminoeatingly did, and the time is UP
ard I'thTr is still absent, apparently
further away and ha'.ler to find.
The 81 ntineI concludes its com
