\ Friendly Reminder.

We invite little retrOspeCtiOn on the part of those bankers who take the glOOmiest view of the Glass Owen bill. At the bankers cOnven- ton of 1908 it was Solemnly re- solved. without a dissenting vote: That the American Bankers As sociation condemns as unwise and hurtful all propositions to establish postal savings banks" State bank associations, almost without excep- tion, iterated this condemnation.
 At the next years convention, the committee fighting the postal sav- ings banks reported that 98 per cent of the banks of the country had ex- pressed themselves as opposed to such institutions. Postal savings banks were then denounced in sub stantially the same terms now used by some opponents of the federal reserve banks-as socialistic. un- American and generally destructive.
 At thls years convention in BOs- ton, however, the leading address to the savings bank section was deliv- cred by the director of the postal savings bank system, who pointed out, by the way, that in the first full year of the systems operation the amount remitted to foreign coun- tries by postal money orders-main- ly representing savings of immi- grantS-fell twelve million dollars. while nearly twenty millions were deposited in the postal savings banks.
 We doubt whether banker in the country now opposes postal savings banks, while a great many have expressed warm admiration. Experience has shown that bank CTS fears respecting postal savings banks were quite unfOunded. which should encourage them to take a cheerful view of the federal reserve banks.-Saturday Evening Post.

As the Country Sees It.

The city papers poke fun at the items in the country papers which tell of John Doe butchering hog. or Jim Smith visiting at P. Jones's over Sunday, but here is the Kansas City Star printing columns of ar ticles and editorials about the "Nullo Bid in Auction Bridge" as if 1t were one of the absorbing topics of national concern. Ii all depends on the point of view. The city peo- pie don't care a whoop about who butchers the hogs, as long as the farmers continue to produce them for their consumption: neither do the people outside of the cities care a whoOp about the nullo bid, whatever that is, having whole lot of more profitable and intel lectual matters to worry about Cimarron Jacksonian.

AN ESSAY ON MENA.
Written by a student of the Mena
 Business College.

Written by a student of the Mena
 Business College.
 Since Mena struggled into exist ence in 1896, it has grown to a thriving little city of 5000 inhabi- tantS. When she celebrated her first birthday anniversary in 1897 she was a little village of tents and a few rough cabins.
 Mena is located in the valley of the Ozarks, on the Kansas City southern railway, and is one of the beauty spots of the Southwest. Her high altitude, fine spring water and picturesque mountain scenery make it a delightful summer and winter resort.
 Mena his eight churches, four hotels, telephone system, water works and systems, box factory, slave yard, and race track under construction and nearing comple- tion, which will be a great advant- age to the city. It Is reported that from eight to 12O horses will be brought here this winter for train ing purposes.
 Some of the baser metals have been found near Mena, and it is likely that it will be the center of great mining district in the near future.
 Mena has educational advantages eXcelled by none-havmg a good business college, two public schools, high school a number of private schools, public library and a S20,OO0 academy under construction.
 Mena also has a number of fine residences, and one of the most beautiful parks in the state. It is surrounded by hedge and grani- told walks, having driveway around the center and gravel walks which lead to the streets. Inside of the driveway is an historical hall, which is a rude log cabin, built by one of the pioneers of Arkansas in 1851. being a homestead at that time. Beds of rare flowers grow around the cabin and the porches are enclosed with wire, where birds are kept, and the lttile room with it's hugh fireplace is used as the city hall and headquarters of the city council and Mena fire depart ment. The spring of fine water, which is inexhaustible, walled with stone; and various kinds of flowers and ferns hanging near the water, make it a lovely little nook where the visitor may stop 10 drink. The spring is the source of a small lake. which enhances the beauty of the park. It is walled with concrete and crossed by a little bridge. Swans and ducks are kept on the lake, where the people may sit in the cool shade of the trees and watch them play in the bright sun- shine. In an enclosure in one cor ner of the park. deer and lawns are kept.
 Mena can surely boast of having one of the most beautiful parks in the state. In fact Mena is the gar den spot of Arkansas.

DAD.

Dad was never no hand to fuss; Used to hurt him to hear us cuss; Kind O settled in his old ways, Born and raised in the good old days When a tattered coat hid a kindly
 heart. An the farm was home, not tOil-
 ing mart, An man was judged by his in-
 ward self; Not his worldly self. Seems like twas yesterday We sat On the old back porch for fare
 we'll chat Ere I changed the farm and the
 simple life For the city's roar an hustle an
 strife. While I gayly talked of the city s
 charm His eyes looked out OCT the fertile
 farm, An he said as he rubbed where the
 hair was thin, All right, son, you win Member the night l trudged back
 home. Sinkin' deep in the fresh turned
 loam; Sick and sore for the dear old place, Hungerin' most for a loved old face. When I had climbed the hilltop OCT, There stood dad in the kitchen door, An he says in a voice from deep
 within. Hello, son, come in.' One winters day. the first of snow, He went the way that we all must
 go; An his spirit scared to the realms
 above On the wings of simple hearted
 love. An I know that when I cross the
 bar I'll find him there by the gates
 ajar, An he'll say as he idly strokes his
 chin. Hello, son, come in"

\ Triumph for Publicity.

If the Russian government could have done its work in secret there would have been no uncertainty as to the outcome of the ritual mur- der trial at kiev. The unfortunate Jew would have disappeared from view long ago. The fact of his in nocence would have been of no avail.
 What saved Beiliss was publicity, and the international sentiment it aroused. With correspondents from every part of Europe flOcking to kieV, with the absurdity of the evi- dence published to the world, with men like the former prime minis ter of England and scores of dis tinguished citizens of Europe and America protesting against the far cical trial, the Russian government did not care to proceed.
 It was the same pressure of world sentiment that brought back Dreyfus from his exile on Devils Island and gave him freedom. In Paris at the time of the excitement the question was not, 'Is Dreyfus guilty" but. "Is it advisable that he should go free?"
 When the American colonists published the Declaration of Inde- pendence they prefaced it with the remark that "A decent respect to the opinions of mankind" impelled them to set for publicly the reasons for their action This respect has been growing in the last century, until today it can protect a poor fellow in far off Russia from the fanaticism of reactionary govern ment.-Kansas City Star.

West-what of him? How did the call come to him 10 return to the drudgery of the factory? As he lay upon his back at the end of ! long day in the saddle, he rested his eyes upon the sunset. and thought of his Self-forgetful father. The
 glory of the setting sun, with it's red of the dragons blood. so soon to
 fade into the gray night called 10 his beauty loving soul for the im- mortality of the potter'S vase. Back into the struggle willingly. came this William-a man-to serve his
 part in perfecting the art of the
 RObertSons.
 At Last a Perfect Vase.
 The dragons blood developed slowly. More and more often would
 vase come from the kiln a perfect piece. At last the secret was theirs.
 In four years they gave to the
 world, in all, three hundred pieces
 of exquisite dragons blood pottery.
 The color is deep and pure and liquid, beyond the finest pieces of
 the old Ming product. Time will give them the only thing they now lack-age. The majority of these pieces are still in the possession of MT, Robertson, because they seem to him too much a part of himself to be sold, Two perfect vases, how ever, are on exhibition at the Bos- ton Museum of Fine Arts.
 The making of crackle war had also been an ambition scarcely less burning than the recreation of dra- gOn's blood So they worked and struggled until one day an explo- sion shook the pottery at Dedham from basement to roof. Between the door of the small experiment kiln and the tank of explosives had stood William. the man who had returned to give his life for his art. When rescued both hands and arms were terribly burned. And yet, sur geons have done little for him: working almost continually, they have restored to power but one ten don, one muscle, occasionally one finger, at a time but so far have not given him the power to shape the simplest form upon his wheel. But still the Robertsons worked, undaunted, in the shadow of the blackened rafters-and America has not only dragons blood. but true crackle ware, known as Dedham. This ware. again, has never been equaled except in a few ancient Korean vases. The American crackle is in no way an imitation nor reproduction The crackle of the Orient was never used for table ware, always for decorative up vases, and was only crazed enamel upon a soft body.
 The output of the pottery is small. The orders exceed the sup ply Hugh has been dead four years. Alone. William Robertson works and plans, and the secrets of all these processes are his alone. This man who, like his father. ! cares little for money, not at all for fame. gives himself and his time to his art-an art which has bridged half a millennium of years. and gives to America a distinctive pot tery eXcelling the product of the OrientS golden age of keramics.

Beaver Falls, Pa, Nov. l3.-Three masked men broke into the resi- dence of Philip Stakely at West Bridgewater yesterday, and binding him to chair scared his feet with a hot poker until he disclosed the hiding place of his money. They found $27.i5, and after taking it beat him into insensibility.
 When he recovered Stakeley gave the alarm and police trailed the men to Folsom, Pa, where after a pistol battle they captured two, who gave their names as Charles Tice of West Bridgewater and John Kohler of Monaca, Pa.

Going through life l have seen it drag down many of the associates of my boyhood, blasting their hopes and consigning them to untimely graves. l have seen its forked lightning strike my first born-the child of my young manhood, and I have borne with him the suffering and tried to help him in his brave but sometimes melancholy struggle for redemption. At last I have felt it's foul and stealthy blow as it turned upon me in it's deadly and shaming wrath-upon me, who had pleaded before the people for it's very existence. Men have called me strong, and when I could see no harm in others, and thought myself immune, and suffered for the thought.
