LONG lime FARM LOANS.
Simple and Easy Credit System That
Operates In Europe.

The standard length of time In Eu-
rope for a long time farm loan Is fifty
four years. For such loan at the
present time the rate is 4.S5 per cent
divided as follows: Interest per
cent, administration 35 per cent and
amortization ,payment on principall 80
per cent. This rate will pay both
principal and interest and repay all
charges due to the hank in dfty-four
years. As this will seem almost In
credible to some students. ! will give
a concrete illustration Of how 1t works
1t does not depend upon componH
interest, but upon the fact that, though
the rate of yearly payment rema'pS
the same, the charge for lntesest mud
administration Is constnntiS decreasing
because they are computed on the
principal sum which is constantly be-
ing repaid therefore the proportion
which is applied toward the repayment
Of the principal is always increasing.
For illustration, II the debt is ST.
600 the debtor will pay $25.25 every
six months. Of>the first payment $40
will go for interest, S1,75 belongs to the
bank, and $3.50 is applied to the repay
ment of the principal When the debt
is half discharged, however, this dis
tribution will be greatly changed. The
borrower will pay $25.25, as usual. OF
this amount only $40 will go for inter
est, sS cents will be retained by the
bank. while 1887 will be applied to
the discharge of the principal. The
final payment viii be almost wholly to
the payment of principal, as the first
one went largely to the payment Of
interest. In this way one-half Of
per cent will repay the principal in
fifty-four years, provided a constant
payment is maintained on the prln'
cipal for interest during the entire
period. Representative Ralph w. Moss

CRAFT ON THE GRIDlRoN.
When the Carlisle Indians outwittsd
Harvard's tlghbrOws.

In football full field run from kick.
OF to touchdown is a rare play. 0nce
1t was made by Carlisle Indian, who
covered the long distance in a game
against Harvard. Oct. 81. 1903, and did
so by the craftlest. wiliest stratagem
ever perpetrated by redskin upon
his pale faced brother.
The FIRST half had closed with the In
dians in the lead five points to none
Harvard opened the battle by sending
long kick to Johnson on Carlisle's
FIVE yard line. The Indians quickly ran
back to meet Johnson and formed
compact mass around him. Within the
recesses Of this mass Of players John
son slipped the bali beneath the back
Of Dillon's jersey, which had been es-
pecially made to receive and hold the
ball. Then. the ball thus secretly
transferred and hidden. Johnson utter
ed a whoop such as Cambridge had not
heard since the days of King Philips
war. and instantly the bunch Of In
dians scattered in all directions. Some
ran to the right and some to the left,
some obliquely and some straight up
the center Of the field. radiating in all
directions like the spokes OF wheel.
The crimson players, now upon them,
looked in vain for the ball, dumfound-
ed. running from one opponent to an
other. Meanwhile Dillon was running
straight down the field SO as to give
his opponents the least opportunity for
side or rear view and conspicuously
swinging his arms to show that they
did not hold the ball Thus. without
being detected, he passed through the
entire Harvard team, excepting the
captain, Carl B. Marshall. who was
covering the deep backfeld.
obeying instructions, Dillon ran
straight, at Marshall. The latter, as
suming that the Indian intended to
block him, agilely sidestepped the Car
Isle player. and as he did so he
caught sight Of the enormous and I'M
wonted bulge on the buck OF Dillon.
Instantly divining that here was the
lost ball, Marshall turned and sprang
at Dillon. but the latter was well on
his way and quickly crossed the line
for a touchdown. n.--Parke II. Davis in
