DISHONEST BORROWERS.
Comptroller Of the Currency VIII Keep
Tabs on Them

Lawrence o. Murray. comptroller Of
the currency. has devised n system Of
credit checking for the national bank
examiners which he believes will re-
suit In forestalling dishonest borrow
ers from national banks and also FROM
many state banks and trust compa-
MES. The chief purpose of the system
Is to check up manufacturers Of notes
who have practically no assets be-
hind them and the dishonest brokers
who float these notes. When the sys-
tenn Is in full operation the comptroller
Of the currency expects TO have a card
index record Of all the heavy borrow
ers in the country, which will tell him
almost at glance the extent TO which
any individual or corporations paper
is being carried by the national banks
Of the country
The system was devised Mt a recent
meeting in Washington OF n committee
of national bank examiners. Under
the new system every examiner win
be instructed TO compile and check up
the commitment Of large local and
extended borrowers In his district.
summaries of which are to be sent to
the office of the comptroller Of the
currency.
The comptroller OF the currency ex-
poets when the system is established
that It will be extremely hazardous
for any dishonest individual or arm to
seek to borrow from national banks.
A hundred or more trained men win
be keeping tabs on their borrowings
and checking the results between dis
tricts.
In collecting the credit information
the personal and Intimate rela uonship
between banks and borrowers. II Is
announced. is not to be interfered
with The name OF the bank where q
line Of credit IS found OF an extended
borrower Is not TO be disclosed by the
examiners In their special reports, the
total only of the loans being listed
The comptroller emphasizes the fact
that these lists will be held by him IN
the same confidential capacity that he
holds the reports Of examination.

AN ALL AROUND ORDEAL.
When Papa Was Getting Ready to At
tend a Banquet

Papa was going to a banquet 1t
was unusual for him to attend ban
quets-so unusual. in fact, that the
children had boasted of it for a week
TO all who would hear
Now 1t was the night Of the BAN
quot, and papa was getting ready, and
the once quiet and orderly house was
much upset.
Run on out" said mamma, "and don't
bother your father while he's dress
ing" Papa was shaving and at the
same time committing q speech to
memory In case he should be called
upon for something impromptu.
The tiny trickles Of blood down his
chin showed where the speech was
getting the better part OF bis ntten-
ton. On the bed lay a clean white
shirt, and across n chair hung papa's
dress clothes. He hadn't worn the
dress clothes for two years and was
considerably stouter now.
After awhile the children, crouch
ing interestedly at the door, heard en-
tsrtaining things.
"Confound the shirtr howled papa.
81 know l washed my hands. but the
neckband's all dirty" Mammals voice
scotched him
Through the keyhole the children
saw papa struggle into his coat The
stir shirt rose almost TO his ears. and
a high collar nearly sawed them off.
"Doggone itr' walled papa THE
sleeves of this coat are a mile too
short"
Then his shoes hurt him; he couldn't
get his tie fixed right; his handker-
chief was hopelessly massing. and final
~ he stood miserably In the middle OF
the floor.
His face was red, the Precipitation
poured down his nose. his thin hair
stood up. and he was about the most
uncomfortable looking person the chn-
dren had ever seen.
Now. then" said mamma, with q
sigh. you're fixed. You have no idea.
dear. how nice you look"
"Oh, yes" papa snarled. 81 look nice.
don't think" Then he found his hat
and light coat and stalked stifiy and
uncomfortably out. The children, hid
ing behind the stair railing. saw him
depart.
Gee" said the little boy. when I
get big won't go to any dinners
They can bring mine"
you'll have to-" said his sister wise
~. Men always have to go to din
ners. But they dress up funny, don't
they ?'-Galveston News.

Of milk costs < or . cents and that the
price OF an egg is often 4 cents l did
not believe it. But see it is fact.
and the people OF New York should be
ashamed that they pay such prices. 1t
would not be SO strange If high prices
prevailed in Moscow. which is control
led by an autocratic government in
which great corruption exists.
But l am sure that. bad as our gov
eminent is, IT would not permit the

THE regular price Of a bottle of

A Fish Out of Water.

Many people think that fish when
taken out OF the water die because air
has fatal effect uu them. The real
reason, however. is that their delicate
gill flaments or membranes become
dry and stick toget her. so that no air
can pass between them. Thus they
lose the power TO imbibe necessary
oxygen. and the circulation of their
blood stops. The painful gasping Of a

willows he expected every second to
hear shot or the shrek OF death.
He dropped to his knees that he
might be better concealed, for the
darkness was lessening now Slipping
craftily through clump of willows
he saw a form in front of him The
shape of the shoulders and the queer
twist of the mans hat identified him.
He was on the heels of Padilla Now
was not the time to give the alarm
he must wait. So Lucian followed the
outlaw chief They came to a break
in the willows. In the center was the
dull red flicker of a dying campfire
Around the edges were sleeping men.
Padilla was approaching one man who
reclined apart from the others. In
the gray glimmer of dawn the boy
saw that the man hal a long beard,
that his head was unbowed and fine.
He recognized the man as General
Vallejo.
All the pain and hurt which Lucian
had endured since he left Sonoma
eight hours before now seemed to be
concentrated in his head and limbs.
He was in a tumult of anxiety He did
not know at what moment Padilla
would give the signal which would
mean death to the sleeping Americans
His brain reeled. He knew that if he
tried to give an alarm now it would
mean instant death to the men he was
trying to save, for they, Of course,
were covered by the guns of the Mexi-
can outlaws. He would be the first
to die. The lad had counted on death,
not morbidly,, but as a natural conse-
quence of his part in the drama, but
he did not want to sacrifice himself
needlessly.
Padilla, as he neared the reclining
General Vallejo, dropped on his knees
and crept through the underbrush.
Lucian made swift detour and
came to the side of the general almost
simultaneously with Padilla. In the
morning twilight the boy searched the
group of sleeping Americans for a
waking eye. He would not forgive the
