An Ivory M at,

Many people have never even heard
of such thing, and it is not to be
wondered at. for these mats are ex-
cecdinGIy rare, and it is said by those
who know thas only three or these
baau.ifut curiosities exist in the whole
void. .The one we now write nbout Is
the largest one made. 1t measures 8
b. feet and, though made in a snail
hill state in the north of India. has an
almost Greek design for its border. 1t
was only used On state occasions. when
the lajah sat on it to sign important
documents. The original cost of the
mat Is fabL.sus. for. G,400 pounds Of
ivory were used in its manufacture.
The finest strips OF ivory must, have
been taken off the tusks. as the mat is
as flexible as woven stuff and beau
tifully fne.-London Graphic.

Coaiina the Sun.

Coaling the sun is an expression useti
by physicists to indicate the necessity
of renewing the stock of motive power,
exactly analogous to coaling vessel
for an ocean journey. Many maintain
that this Is done by the incessant show

from celestial space Thus it is that
the suns energy is continually kept w

Rats and Water.

Government experiments show that
rats can live an indefinite time with
out water. Three of the animals were
put on a diet consisting of bread, meat
and cheese, but no water. and all were
alive and well sixty days after the
experiment was begun. On the If
teenth day one was given An oppor-
tunity to drink, but made no attempt
to do so. When kept without food,

days. and Of six rats deprived OF both
food and water all died within periods

Roosevelt, it he is defeated, is COM

of tie third and last period. Right
thru the center of the opposing team
the ball was carried back by him for
the best run of the game covering fifty
yards before being downed. The local
back field was working great at this
time and clearly played Rapid off their

PAYS A DIVIDEND.
Meade County Bank at Sturgis Paying Divi.
dend to Depositors.

State Bank Examiner Wingf1eld,
has caused to be paid to the people
who had money on deposit in the
Meade County Bank Of Sturgis, whom
1t failed several months ago, q divi-
dend of ten per cent of the total
amount which each had in the bank.
Accompanying the payment is .
statement from Examiner Wingfeld
which reads as follows:
"On account of several years Of ad.
verse crop conditions In the surround.
ing territory and other matters over
which this department had no control,
coupled with the removal of the troops
from the adjacent military post, it has
been an almost impossible task to make
q sufficient amount Of collections on
the outstanding loans to pay this much
of dividend particularly as It has been
found that many large loans had been
made with very poor judgement on the
part Of the management, while remain
ing security greatly deprecated in val
ne or was entirely wiped out by the
general conditions.
ut is we'll known fact that In the
regular course Of business all banks
must loan much OF the depositors
money in order to make such institu.
tions pay reasonable dividends and
they are required by law to keep avail
able funds on hand at all times
amounting to 20 per cent Of their en-.
tire deposits; but in the case of this
bank, their loans had been allowed to
reach such high total, that with con.
/ siderable depreciation of deposits, this
reserve became impaired from time to
time until approximately $4,000 had
been borrowed on the banks bills pay.
able or by redisoounting some of the
loans on hand for which about 100000
of the best loans we're pledged as col.
lateral security.
"This will account for the fact that
not all Of the money which had been
collected since the bank suspended has
remained in the cash assets. because
payments on the notes up as collateral
had to be turned over to the banks
holding them. Further collections will
be made as rapidly as possible, sddi-
tionsl dividends will follow and tho
banks resources will be conserved In
every possible manner.
"For your information in this re-
speot I will say that approximately
$3.50 600 has been collected on O n Q
