Herrley, whose wife Is dead, and the
visits were just as often returned. An
attachment had evidently developed be-
tween the two, and IL was while Mrs.
Morris was at Herrleys home Tuesday
night that he tragedy occurred.
Though the deed was committed some
time before midnight It did not become
known until about o'clock Wednesday
morning. when Fred H. Herrley, son OF
ne murderer, went to plead with his
father 70 return to his work with the
Omaha street railway company. Il was
then that the father in a state Of strange
hysteria took his son into a room and

How 70 Eat Leather.

The Infamous Captain Morgan and
his piratical crew We're sometimes in
tight places at Panama and on one
occasion We're reduced to eating their
leathern bags. Some persons" says
one Of the company, Exquemelin
(whose narrative is reproduced in ''The
Buccaneers In the West Indies''), "whO
never were out Of their mothers kitch-
ems may ask how these pirates could
eat, swallow and digest these pieces
of leather, so hard and dry. Unto
whom l only answer: That could they
once experiment what hunger or, rath-
er, famine is, they would certainly find
the manner by their own necessity, as
the pirates did. For these first took
the leather and sliced it in pieces. Then
did they beat 1t between two stones
and rub 1t, often dipping it in the wa
ter Of the river, to render it by these
means supple and tender Lastly, they
scraped off the hair and roasted or
broiled 1t upon the fire. And being
thus cooked they cut 1t into small NOR
sells and ate it, helping it down with
frequent gulps Of water, which by
good fortune they had right at hand"

French Official Red Tape.

Two men went to Nice lately from
Italy to attend funeral and took
with them a wreath Of flowers to
which was fastened a silk ribbon bear
ing an inscription. They were in
formed at their destination that they
would have to pay duty equivalent
to $25. The mourners protested, say
ing that the wreath was made Of nat
ural flowers on which there was no
duty, but they were informed that the
dutiable part was the silk and that,
according to the tariff laws, duty must
be collected on the gross weight Of
the memorial emblem. Then the men
agreed to throw the ribbon away, but
this could not be done on French soil,
and SO they journeyed back to the
frontier, where they disposed of the
ribbon. boarded train for Nice with
the ribbonless wreath and arrived too
late for the funeral.

Examination Of Private
Banks IS Important.

There is no provision for the eX-
animation of private banks by state
or other authority. National banks
are examined by national examiners
and state banks by the state eX-
aminer. These examinations have
served the highest purpose and
there should be the same kind of
supervision and examination of
private banks as of state or nation
al banks.
Depositors in private banks de-
serve the same measure of prOtec-
tion as is offered to depositors in
national and state banks. The
failure of private banks causes as
much distress, and is attended by
the same consequences as are fail
ures of chartered institutions.
