The banker knew that was true; if
the borrower didn't want to pay it he
couldn't be made to pay it.
"One day the banker drove out N
the country with a friend and they
passed the farm of the man who had
taken advantage of the statute of
limitations. The farmer was standing
in his field when the two men drove
by. The banker spied some large
pumpkins and asked the farmer what
he would take for them. The farmer
said % cents apiece.
The banker selected two of the
pumpkins and had them put in his
buggy. Then he fished around in his
pocket for the so cents.

got a cent with me: what'll l do?'
"'Oh. you can pay me the next time

carelessly.
The banker pulled out the note. and
the companion who was riding with
him he made an entry crediting SO
cents on the note, and then drove to

DUKE OF CORNWALL.
Eldest Son of King Edward.

The eldest son of the British sovereign
IS born Duke of Cornwall and as the law
Eers say, is seized" with the dutchy
md all it's ,honors and privileges. These
are many, but equally important is the
very considerable income from rents ana
mining dues which the Duke enjoys. The
oornwall dutchy is. to put it plainly. a
mold. 1T yielded King Edward when he
was Prince of Wales some 10000 pounds
year, after deducting management ex-
late more nearly approach 5000 pounds.
Moreover, there is every sign that the
property will continue to improve. 50 that
The Prince of Wales may look forward to
nloying before long a total income con-
'lderably in excess of the 100000 pounds a
year to which the grant from Parliamen;
brings up his present annual allowance.
He will thus become the weathiest Prince
Of Wales in history
In comparatively recent times it was
the law, usage and custom for all tin
raised in Cornwall to be coined i. e.,
stamped with the hall mark of purity. the
dues payable on the coming being part
of the revenue of the Duke, but at the
commencement of the reign of Queen Vic
abolished by act of Parliament and fresh
sources of income were discovered as
compensation. That there was no falling
off in the revenues as a result is amply
apparent for at the time of the passing of
the act the estates brought in paltry
1000 pounds a year. When King Edward
was porn IN lS4l the revenue had risen to
l4,ON0 pounds. but by the time of his mar
riage in 1863 it had more than trebled, and
IN 1899. year before his accession, it
stood at $1,000 pounds. Needless to say
the estate is at the present time one of
the best managed in the country.
Some instructive passages in the family
history of the Kings of England are
bound up with the history of the duchy.
Bishop Stubs aptly describes its creation
as part of Edward IFS scheme to provide
for his family land that in this country
and not in France. The first Duke was
Edwards son. the Black Prince to whom
the vast possessions were assigned with
the strictest possible entail Every Duke
Of Cornwall has been the direct heir to
the throne of England. and if at any time
the lands should not be in the possession
of such Duke they will pass into the
hands of the sovereign.
AT the time of its creation the ducny
was more extensive than at present, but
lands in Somerset and Devon still con-
tribute to the income of the Prince of
Wales and the greater part of Dartmoor
remains his property.-London News.

The people of Tanana are to be congratulated and United States Marshal H. K. Love is to be thanked that Captain John J. Donovan is now permanently To. cated here as deputy marshal. The news of Captain Donovan's assignment to 1'anana came last night.
 The people should not fail to appreciate the action of Marshal Love in conforming to their wishes in the matter, for it is probable the marshal was placed in a very delicate position re- garding the assignment, the citi- zens of Koyukuk district wanting Captain Donovan returned there, and he himself being partial to that district.
 Captain Donovan starts on his regular duties with 8 very high degree of public confidence.
