Limitation of Debt.

conflict of constructor exists in the case of Section 5, Article K, or the constitution, limiting the state s indebtedness to three hundred and fif- ty thousand dollars. While in my op- inion this was meant to refer only to unsecured indebtedness, caused by in sufficiency of revenue to maintain the running expenses of the government, and was not intended to iclude or linn it the states bonded indebtedness, II will be prudent to submit const1tu- tional amendment clearing th1S amDlg- uity, and I so recommend.

GARDEN ON VALUABLE LAND
Small Patch in Heart of City of Lon- don Is One of Capitals
 Curiosities.

There are many curious things about the Bank of England, but among them how many know that it posses ses a respectable garden? It is to be found just inside the Threadneedle street entrance, on the left-hand side.
 This .old-fashioned garden has a fountain in the center. graveled paths and couple of trees. the whole form ing a quadrangle with the bank build ing running all round
 It's history is a curious one. In real ity this garden is the churehyard of the vanished Church of St. Christo- pher-le-Stock, which used to stand where the Mansion House now is.
 One reason why the church was pulled down was because it's tower completely overlooked the bank, and it was feared that it would be dan ger to the "Old Lady" if the church was occupied by rioters.
 AS the bank occupies the site of the entire parish of St. Christopher-le- Stock, it is said that any freeman of the city can claim admission to the old garden. But, as matter of fact any one who cares to see it may do SC during business hours, and it is well worth a visit, if only for the fact that 1t is the most valuable garden in the world.

Wanted to Sell Her Lea.

Willing, she asserts, to sacrifice a finger, foot, arm or leg in an effort to relieve her poverty, woman, whose name was not divulged, living in Govans, has written to the physicians of Franklin Square hospital with an unusual and pathetic appeal for tinan- cial assistance.
 The letter conveys, say the physi- clans, sad story of much suffering as the result of poverty by woman who was once in good circumstances but who has recently been reduced to abjeet Restitution. She named DO specific price for her sacrifice, accord ing to the doctors, but asked for an early reply if her offer was to be con, sidered The only restriction that she made was that her name be kept a secret.-Baltimore Evening Sun.

WHAT PUZZLED THE NEWS6OY
He Didn't Understand Primary Cause of Trouble, but Motorman Could
 Have Told Him.

It was very busy hour on Forty second street, and the traffic 'cops" were having their hands extremely full, relates the New York Sun. Just as things were starting along, after complicated blockade, little news boy dropped a quarter, and darted out into the street after it, under the nose of motorman who had just started his car.
 The indignant motorman threw on the brakes with jerk. As the car came to a sudden stop an automo- bile directly behind it turned sharply to one side to avoid a collision. It skidded, the hood coming under the startled noses of pair of dray hors- es. One of the front tires blew up with loud report.
 This was too much for the horses, and they jumped forward together. In another minute the heavily loaded dray was careening down the side walk, the people scattering in terror. A lamp post was knocked over, and the dray, thrown violently in the oth- CT direction, upset, fiinging a couple of heavy boxes through a brilliantly lighted display window
 The broken electric lights fizzed for minute, then the flimsy trim mings of the window caught fire, and in few minutes the changing of the fire department was added to the up- roar and the crowd extended for a full block in either direction.
 When the fire was out, and the wreckage was being cleared away the newsboy, with his quarter safe in his pocket, turned away and start cd down the street, murmuring to himself: Gee, wonder what be- gun all dat fuss!"

When a kinq Is lit.

And there is this curious psycho- logical fact to be remembered: A seri ous illness or a death advertises the doctor exactly as hanging advertises the barrister who defended the per son hanged. Suppose. for example, a royal parsonage gets something wrong with his throat, or has pain in his inside. If doctor effects some trumpery cure with wet compress or peppermint lozenge nobody takes the least notice of him. But if he operates on the throat and kills the patient, or extirpates an internal or gan and keeps the whole nation pal pitating for days while the patient hovers in pain and fever between life and death. his fortune is made. Ev- cry rich man who omits to call him in when the same symptoms appear in lis household is held not to have done his utmost duty to the patient. The wonder is that there is a king or queen left alive in Europe.-G. B. Shaw, "The Doctors Dilemma"

The quality of ones work is, af- ter all, about the surest test of suc-
 cess or failure. Usually 1t goes pretty closely, even if not hand ID
 hand, with material success or fail ure; almost invariably it stamps ln the mans own thoughts his con- vetion as to whether he has suc- ceeded or failed. No one whe loves his work and feels that he Is doing it well can justly be called 3 failure: no one who looks upon what he has done with dlsappolnt- ment and upon what he expects to do with indifference can by any stretch of language be called a success.-The Progressive Farmer.

As these oils can be produced from annual crops raised by sun- light, this offers a way to turr round' on sun-poWer without walt ing for geological ages for 1t to be turned into coal, petroleum or nat ural gas.

The movement of the cotton crop is an international transaction. It demands the use of the best and most modern banking facilities. Under present conditions it calls for the transfer of cash to an un- necessary extent. If it were law ful for our banks to accept drafts for their customers-and so create bankers bills-and there were some cooperative banking agency with facilities for doing business abroad bankers bills would sup plant the promissory note, the draft with bill of lading attached and other cumbersome methods. The crop would be moved easily, without embarrassment to planters and without straining the credit facilities of Southern banks. Until means are provided for a scientific use of the machinery of credit in affecting the movement of cotton, Southern planters must continue to pay tribute to New York and London for the movement of their cotton to market.

FoiIs A Foul Plot.
BETRAYED BY A CAT.
Jesse POmerOy Attempts to Escape
From Prison.

Boston, Dec. 31.-Jesse Pomeroy,
whose criraes startled the country 40
years ago, mas attempted unsuccess-
fully to escape from the state prison
at CharlestowI1.
The convict left his cell by saving,
three bars from the door. The meow
ing of a cat which followed Pomeroy
along the corridor attracted the at
tention of Thomas Brassel, an attend
ant, and when he ordered the muir
derer to throw UP his hands the pris-
oner made no resistance,
POmeroy, who is SO years old was
sentenced to be hanged in 1874 for
the brutal murders of a small girl and
boy, Katie Curren and II. H. Million. in
South Boston. The sentence was com
muted to life imprisonment in solitary
confinement.
Guard Brassel had just entered the
Fort Russell section of the prison on
ms hourly round when Buster" the
yellow bob-tailed prison cat, jumped
out from beside the wall meowiDg
persistently. BrasseI looked in that
direction and saw a man crouched
near the electric light switchbox. The
guard recognized Pomeroy.
Throw up your handsi" he cried
The prisoner obeyed and reinforced
by trusty," whom he had called.
Brassel marched Pomeroy to another
cell.
A search of the prisoners clothing
and his cell revealed two pieces Of
steel and one of tin fashioned into
crude saws and drills. He had drilled
fine holes through three cell bars and
then sawed through them.

PATENT OFFICE PAYS.
There Is Now a Surplus of Over Seven
Million Dollars.

Washington, Dec. 31.-The marked
prosperity of the country is reflected
in the receipts of the United States
patent office from fees for applications,
according to Edward b. Moore, COM
missioner of patents in his annual re-
port today to the secretary of the in
terror The total receipts Of the office,
for the fiscal year ending June 80, We're
So, 094,059 compared with $1,9S7I7S for
the previous fiscal year. The total eX-
penditures were $2,025,912 and the net
surplus of receipts over expenditures
was sos, 147. The grand total of net
surplus over all expenditures is now
81, 1872, 072.96.
Figures presented by Commissioner
Moore indicate the volume of business
of the patent office has materially in
creased in the past fiscal year. The
number of applications for patents for
inventions aggregated SO, 236 against Co.
154. for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1911. The total number of applications
for patents for inventions for designs
for reissue of patents, registration of
trade marks. labels, prints, disclaimers
to patents and appeals was 81, 459 COM
pared with 1858 for the hscal year
1911.
The report shows there were 81, 5S9
patents granted, including reissues and
designs and 1856 trade marks, 625 lab
els and 26S prints were registered dur
ing the last fiscal year. The number
of patents that expired was 1859 The
number of allowed applications which
were by operation of law forfeited for
nonpayment of the final fees was g.
go.
The number of applications for me-
chanical patents shows an increase or
4, 082 over the previous fiscal year or
6.26 per cent, an increase for the ten
years since 1903 of 40.72 per cent.
The establishment of the patent Of
fee as an independent bureau of the
government is recommended by Com
missioner Moore.
In this connection he points out that
since the decisions of the commission
er are now final within the Office and
that appeals are no longer made to
secretary of the interior, the connec-
ton of the patent office with the de-
partment is so slight that it would
seem that its separation and establish
n1ent as an independent bureau is en-
inently desirable.
The commissioner also recommends
that a new building be erected for the
patent office. The present quarters he
saws are insanitary and crowded and
valuable records are in constant dam
oar of destruction by fire.

RUSSIA TURNS TO OIL,
Oil Lands Arc Withdrawn From Pri-
vate Enterprise.

Washington, Dec 31.-Convinced that
the supply of coal is inadequate and
that oil will be the fuel of the future,
the Russian government is reported by
American Consul General Snodgrass,
at Moscow, to be making elaborate pre-
parations to make ready that country
for the changing conditions.
Millions of acres of rich oil lands
have been withdrawn from private en-
terPrise. but regulations are being
drawn which will encourage private
capital to investigate and develop the
properties under strict government
supervision. Already there is a rapid
increase in the use of oil and naphtha
for fuel, says Mr.. Snodgrass, and many
Russian mills and big manufa curing
Establishments have remodelIed their
plants SO as to abandon the use of
coal.
