A LIVING EPITAPH

"A - A4NN IL a. -
By Berton Braley.
When I pass out and my time is
spent,
I hope for no lofty monument,
No splendid procession marching
slow
Along the last long road 1 go;
No pomp and glory 1 care for
then
When / depart from the world of
men.
But I'd like to think, when my
race is through,
That there will be in the world
few
Who'll say, well, there is a good
man gone!
I'm sorry to see him passing on,
For he was a sort that's fair and
square,
The kind of fellow it's hard to
spare.
He hadn't money, he hadn't
fame,
But he kept the rules and he
played the game,
His eyes were true and his laugh
was clear,
He held his truth and his honor
dear;
And now that his work is at an
end,
know how much I shall miss my
friend.
If my life shall earn such words
as those
l shall smile in peace as my eye

Fifties. You used to know this
town pretty well, Billy. I guess
you remember that section, where
every house looks just like its
neighbor and every street for
blocks is exactly the same. Well,
the place was decorated for us
and our new furniture was moved
in and we were both thoroughly
pleased. We speculated how
happy and coy we were going to
be, and all the way home in the
train we talked about it and in
dulged in housekeeping rhapso-
dies.
When we reached our apart

if she had got angry at my delay

EXCESS LOANS IN e8e BANKS.
Comptroller Issues Peremptory Order
Against the Practice.

After a number Of warnings against
infractions of the national banking
laws prohibiting excessive loans Comp
troller Of the Currency Murray has is
sued peremptory order that on or aft
er Sept. /, 1912, no national bank shall
have excess loans-that is, individual
loans Of more than the legal proper
tion Of capital and surplus.
The returns from the last call for
statements Of the national banks,
showing condition as of April 1S, re-
yealed that $50 banks in various paris
of the country had excess loans. The
comptroller in statement points out
that he has frequently called attention
to this abuse, and, finding this inef
fective, he has ordered that losses re-
sulting from excess loans shall fall on
the directors authorizing them and not
on stockholders OF the bank.
The peremptory order is given two
months and half in advance Of the
date it becomes effective TO allow suf-
ticient time to adjust the excess loans
without loss. The comptroller takes
the ground that since the excess loans
law has been pretty generally violat
ed for fifty years 1t is only fair to give
the delinquent banks time to adjust
them.

FOR A BUFFALO RANGE.
New York Zoo Offers Ten to Govern
nent as a Nucleus.

New York Zoo Offers Ten to Govern
ment as a Nucleus.
The New York Geological society has
offered the American Bison society a
herd of ten buffaloes, consisting of
males and females of various ages, for
the nucleus herd with which to stock
the new Wind Cave national bison
range when it is established by con-
gress. A bill is now pending in both
houses of congress to authorize the es-
tablishment Of this Wind Cave ma
tional park, near the Black Hills dis
trict, South Dakota, as a national
game preserve and especially for the
purpose Of preserving the American
bison, the elk, the Rocky mountain
sheep and other large quadrupeds In
digenous to the United States.
The measure has been favorably re-
ported up by Secretary Of Agriculture
James Wilson and Secretary Fisher of
the interior department 1t provides
for the establishment of the preserve
to include the Wind Cave national
park, comprising some 10000 acres, al
ready the property of the government,
and about 5000 adjacent acres, most
of which is also government land.
The adjacent lands, the 5000 acres
outside Of the present park, contain
several good streams Of water and fine
pasturage area.
The bill provides for an approprla-
ton to cover the cost of such addi-
tional lands as may be purchased and
the cost of fencing the same, a total of
only $4,000. The American Bison So
ciety has agreed to stock the game
preserve with herd Of buffalo. Own
ers Of other varieties Of animals have
also offered to help the enterprise
along. DR.. w. T. Hornaday Of the

MAKE A SP0TLESS TOWN.
A Few Rules For Those You Want to
Help.


First-Take away all the ashes and
dirt from your back yard Immediately.
Send your rubbish to the dumping
ground
Second.-Clean out your cellars, sta
bles and sheds. Whitewash your eel
lar walls, fences and henhouses.
Third.-Burn all rubbish that will
burn. Clean your vacant lots and al
leyways.
Fourth.-Avold mixing ashes and
garbage. This is against the law.
You may be fined.
Fifth.-Refrain from throwing old
paper, banana or orange skins into the
streets.
Sixth.-Plant some grass and flower
seeds to make your home beautiful.
Every house should have little green
grass and a few trees.
Seventh.-When you have cleaned up
once, keep your yard clean all the
time.
Dirty yards cause flies, sickness,
death.
Old tin cans hold water; water
breeds mosquitoes.
Rotten garbage makes bad air, bad
air makes weak bodies, weak bodies
make big doctors bills.

INTERNATIONAL BUREAU OF
WEATHER AND STORMS.
Willis Moore Is Moving For compul-
cory Reports and Warnings at Sea.

The first formal step in the cam.
ternational weather and storm bureau
has been taken by Willis Moore. chief
Of the United States weather bureau.
Speaking of his plan. Mr.. Moore said:
"If the plan Is adopted, SO far as
storms are concerned, the crossing OF
the Atlantic will be made as safe as
short street oar journey. Great ocean
liners, which have but little to fear
from anything except the most de-
structive gale, may by altering their
course fifty miles or more on receipt
of the warning escape n rough pas
sage, while the smaller steamers and
sailing ships by making a wide detour
may escape possible destruction"
Mr.. Moore outlined the plan at a
luncheon given to him by DR.. William
Shaw, head Of the British weather
service. and the scientific staff of the
London meteorological station.
According to this plan, a median
line will be established through the
north Atlantic. All ships sailing in Ell

are to be compelled to take a daily
weather observation. which must he
sent by wireless telegraph to the near
est ship in communication to the west
Thence the messages are to be relayed
until they reach the nearest American
land station. The messages are then
to be telegraphed to Washington,
where the weather bureau will mako
up a weather chart and a storm warn
ing, which will be cabled to Europe.
Ships to the eastward of the median
will relay the messages until they
reach London or Paris The weather
chart and storm warnings made up by
the European station will be cabled to
Washington, and the storm locations
from America and Europe as compiled
will be sent by wireless telegraph to
the nearest ships, which will be in
duty bound to transmit them to yes
sells near the storm threatened areas.

NEW YORK MAN PLANS
ELECTRIC CHICKEN FARM.
Or. r. c. Lienau to Fatten Poultry Aft
or Method Discovered In England.

DR.. Rudolph G. Lienau, New York
dentist, is having installed on farm
belonging to him at Great River, N.
Y, the apparatus necessary to raise
chickens by electricity. DR.. Lienau
expects that his chickens will equal
ordinary chickens in weight in half
the time or. in similar period, will
exceed the common barnyard fowl In
weight by some 3S per cent.
The dentist says that his ideas are
similar to those Of DR.. Thorne Baker
of London, who finds that by prac-
tically continuous doses of high fre
quency electricity he can shock his
chickens into rapid growth. Or. Lie
nau tells OF a comparison which DIR.
Baker made.
The conditions surrounding the two
classes of chickens, four in each class,
were IDENTICAL said he. They had
the same food and the same runs.
Some 5000 volts OF electricity were
used in alternating current which was
10 directed that It swept the basking
runs of the treated birds. The cost Of
the treatment was found to average 4
cents a bird from the time 1t started to
killing time
The dentist presented the figures of
Or. Bakers test showing that four
chickens which had been treated with
electricity to the broiling stage weigh
ed pounds 14.S ounces, while four
not spurred to more rapid growth by
the current weighed only pounds S,5s
ounces
DR.. Lienau says he has devised some
improvements in the manner Of con-
otherwise his farm will be modelled on
that of DR.. Bakers.

Offer of 10 Cents For 100 Flies Brings

The Anti-tuberculosis league of
Nashville, Tenn, inaugurated a fly
campaign in which it offered 10 cents
hundred for dead flies brought to the
offices Of the organization between 3
and 4 p. m. for the week beginning
May /. Consignments were paid for
in lots as small as ten, and many of
the youngsters of the city who had
probably never heard of the Nashville
Anti-tuberculosis league were able to
pick up few extra pennies by chasing
the ubiquitous household pest with the
implements at hand.

Compulsory legislation for spraying
breeding places Of flies was urged at
a recent executive board meeting of
the Anti-tuberculosis society of Grand
Rapids, Mich. 1t is probable that the
society will ask the common council
to pass the necessary measures to OBJ
tain this result. Numerous indorse-
ments of the proposed ordinance have
already been made by organizations of
the city. Among the first bodies to
support it were the Trades and Labor
council, local union No. 335 of the Unit
ed Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners Of America and the Building

THE NEED OF BEING READY

There Is class Of men, big majority Of the

army, to build warships or to make wsrlike
