No Check For Less
Than 500.

Washington, Jan. 1.-UndeI
the new section of the penal code
of the United States, it will here
after be serious offense to issue
check for a less amount than
ST.. The new code becomes eff
fective today. The language OF
the provision forbids the max.
ing, issuance, circulation or pay
ing out of any note, check, MEM
orandum, token or other obliga-
ton for less than a dollar.
Business firms who have been
interviewed as to the effect of
the new enactment say it will
mean the substitution of postage
stamps subsidiary coins and post
Office money orders in lieu of the
bank checks for payment of ac-
counts representing fractions of
a dollar. The number of bank
checks drawn in payment of bal
ances of less than a dollar are
very few. Outside of the mail
order houses the number of such
checks received in the course of
business is comparatively insig-
nificant.
Treasury Offices are at a loss
to account for the legislation. It
does not appear to have been dis
cussed in either house in Con-
gress. The consideration of the
report of the committee to codify
the penal laws was attended with
very little interest in Congress.
Bankers who have been inter-
viewed on the Legislation were
as much surprised as the Treas
ury officers to account for it.
One banker expressed the opin-
ion that it was a step toward the
establishment of a postal savings
bank, but Senator Hepburn, of
Idaho, chairman of the joint
committee on revision Ofthe code,
who handled the report in the
Senate, made a speech in Opposi-
ton to the postal savings bank
bill. The most rational explain
alton of the enactment appears
to be that it was designed to
stimulate the sale of postage
stamps and postal money orders.

BOUND TO GET THAT BARGAIN
Determined Woman Shopper Would
Not Let Little Thing Like
Closing Time interfere.

''they,re closing up" The woman
looked at the door Of the store where
q boy was drawing down q curtain.
TITS not six o'clock" she said dc:
terminedly; they can't close till six
o'clock. Wait here for me-" She tried
the door and found Il opened to her
hand.
The woman went in and found a
scene Of confusion. Shoppers were
being skillfully hustled toward the
door with due respect to their feel
ings, and down every aisle people
were covering the counters with pro.
tecting covers.
Young women with mouthfuls Of
hatpins scowled at her and continued
TO put on their hats. Men In shirt
sleeves who were carefully protecting
the stock looked at her and said
things to each other.
A procession Of employees passed on
its way to outer aiH and freedom and
clouds OF dust arose.
Outside the man stood on one leg
and watched the curtained door. He
tried to give himself the air Of one
waiting for a car, and hoped nobody
would mistake him for q Johnnie
waiting at the door for the la
dies to get through work.
The Stragglers grew fewer and few.

the door came the woman in triumph.
She had a package in her hand and
did not seem to observe that the man
who let her out muttered and
slammed the door after her, securely

"You see I Just had to. The sale was
only for to-day, and all their 60-cent
ribbon was reduced to 80 cents"

Tributes Of AffectIon for Paris Dead.
Foreign visitors to the cemetery Of
Pore La Chaise in Paris often wonder
ct the tributes Of affection deposited
on the graves. Many French people
refuse to believe that their dead can
not enjoy the good things they used
to like when alive.
Mothers bring fruits and sweets and
leave them on the tombstones Of their
children. The graves Of older peo-
pie are frequently spread with wine,
beer and tobacco, and there is Tor was
last year, one afRectionate father who
leaves a potato salad on his sons
tombstone every Sunday. Partisan
street providers are Of course well
Rware Of this practice, and despite the
vigilance Of the cemetery guardians
manage TO pilfer many . meal from
the graves.

II will b.. remembered by Bax'
ter people that Hicks last sum-
mer shot Mrs. Isley as she was
running from her home In the
vicinity of the Galena smelter to
the home of a neighbOr to escape
his abuse. The quarrel between
Hicks and Mrs. Isley was due to
jealousy on his part and was
caused by her attending the Bax-
ter Springs reunion in company
with another man. After the
shooting Hicks returned to the
Isley home, changed clothes and
escaped. He was located in the
southwestern part of town, but
succeeded in getting away from
the officers. Since then the search
has been in progress.

1t is our humble opinion that
whenever the assessor finds out
that a vacant lot would be i'm
proved. if the owners would sell
the lot, the lot should be assessed
just as high as the law will per-
init. When it is not expensive
to hold vacant property it is not
apt to be sold by people hoggish.
ly inclined. Put the assessed
value of vacant property as high
as it will stand.

So far the winter of 1909-19t0
is breaking records. Almost the
entire month of Dece nber was
cold, and the month of January
is following suit. But it is well,
for it bespeaks good health to
have a long spell of cold weather,
and besides, it generally means
a good crop season following.

Deadlock
Delaying
Congress

WASHINGTON, June 29.-A dead
lock between the house and the senate
has taken place and the expected near
adjournment of congress may be de-
layed. The dispute between the two
branches arose over the question as
to whether labor unions should be
exempted or not from the prosecution
under the Sherman Antitrust Act. 1t
is argued by the senators that work
ingmen should have no more right to
combine for the purpose of putting a
selling price upon their labor than
manufacturers or producers should
combine to put a price upon their ma
nufactures or output.
The conference committee consider
ing amendments to the Sherman Act
has reported that it is unable to agree
and the actions of the house and SEN
ate members of the committee have
been endorsed by the house and SEN
ate respectively.

GARFIELD AND PINcHoT
ARE STANDARD BEARERS

ST. PAUL (Minn), June 13.-James
r. Garfield for President; Clifford Pin
chot for Vice-President.
This was the ticket launched today
by members of the Roosevelt Club for
1912, provided always that Roosevelt
himself is not candidate. Many Re-
publicans who heard the two men
speak Saturday are deeply impressed
by the suggestion.
Hugh T. Halbert, president of the
Roosevelt Club, said; 81 think the ut
terances of Mr.. Garfield and Mr. Pin
chot were deep in meaning. I believe
if Roosevelt does not run these two
men will be the standard bearers of
that wing of the Republican party that
stands for the Roosevelt policies"
Republicans here attach much sig
nificance to the fact that Pinchot
came directly to st. Paul following
his conference with Roosevelt.

cREoLEs,

1 have used the word creole" To
it conjures up vision of dark and
beautiful woman gloriously appareled
and with a large proportion of color
ed blood in her veins. It Is neces-
sary to get that idea out of ones
mind at the very beginning, as it is
wholly mistaken one. The first
and essential claim 70 the title of Gre
ole is that one should be of the purest
European blood 1.-The second,so far as
the West Indies are concerned, is that
one should be native of the islands.
If Queen Victoria had happened to
be in Trinidad when her eldest son
was born, King Edward would be a
creole. The word simply applies to
two things-parentage and birth.
You may be an English creole, a
French creole, a Spanish creole, bur
you cannot be creole if you are
DOll III I4u5idllN, dlCCJ vi Opdill'
even though your ancestors had been
born and bred in the West Indies for
generations. The one thing which
is impossible in true creole is ex-
actly what the ignorant think the
word implies-that is,the least sug-
gestion of negro blood.
Please remember, then, that the
true creoles are white, and that those
of the upper classes have nearly all
been educated in France or England;
and that if you meet one in a Lon
don drawing room and expect wells
and nose-rings, and a jangle of bar
barrie jewels, you will be disappoint-
ed. They are just ordinary ladies
and gentlemen, little paler than
you, because, living in the tropics,
they have not been so much under
the open sky-citizens also of the
British empire and loyal subjects if
they can only speak French or Span

1.-THE Road TO MELVILLE" Pointed the Way

Down at Hot Springs, Ark, the visitors have all
sorts of complaints but it is subject Of remark that
the great majority of them have some trouble with
stomach and bowels This may be partly attributed
to the heavy medicines.
Naturally under the conditions, the question of
food is very prominent
young states that he had suffered for nine
years from stomach and bowel trouble, had two OPP
erations which did not cure, and at last threat
ened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheumatism and his
stomach trouble got One day at breakfast the
waiter, knowing his condition, suggested he try
GrapeNuts and cream, which he did and found the
food agreed with him perfectly.
After the second day he began to sleep peacefully
at night different than he had for years The perfect
digestion of the food quoted his system, and
made sleep possible.
He says: "The next morning | astonshed to
find my condition of constipation had disappeared. l
could not believe it true after suffering for so many
years; then took interest in the food read the
little book, THE Road to MELVILLE" and started fol-
lowing the simple directions
Il have met with such results that in the last five
weeks | have gained eight pounds in spite of hot
baths which take away the flesh from anyone.
