The South Is Advised to

Washington, Nov 20.--The federal re-
regulations for the admission Of state
banks to the new reserve system. An
effort will be made to attract as many
state institutions as possible. Figures
given at the time national banks began
10 subscribe to the new system showed
a total of about $4,000 banks in the
country, OF which about 1900 belonged
to the national system. In addition to
all the national banks, with one excep-
ton, applications for membership We're
received from a few state banks. In
other cases. state institutions became
national banks and in this way gained
entrance The number which gained adj
mission through these processes, how
ever, was exceedingly small compared
TO the total number of such banks.
While officials do not expect all the state
banks in the country to apply for admis-
sion, at least for many years, many APP
plications already have been received
and taken under consideration No UNI
usual increase in these applications is
expected until the regulations governing
their admission are issued. The law pro-
vides that no such bank shall be adj
united unless it has an unimpaired CAPT
tai sufficient to enttle it to become
national bank in its own locality, and
impress certain other restrictions on en-
trance.
Must Reduce Cotton Crop.
Warning has ben given by officials OF
the federal reserve board and the treas
ury department that the south must
learn diversifcation OF crops and make
a reduction of cotton acreage next year,
if it is to get the full benefits from the
$l35,000,000 loan fund just completed,
and insure a material increase in the
price OF raw cotton for next years crop.
Secretary McAdoo in formal statement
called this "the other pressing and inn
portant problem" with which the south
must deal He urged the raising of other
food products, which he predicted will
find ready market, particularly If the
European war persists. "The southern
is>mer," said Mr.. McAdoo, therefore
has an unusual opportunity now for
changing existing methods and habits
with certain profit and permanent bene-
fit to himself"
He suggested that the department of

DUCHESS MUST HAVE SMILED
Little Milllner Faithfully obeyed in
structions That She Thought
Had Been Given Her.

Mr.. Lane of Washington was not
only a page in the senate in the days
of Webster and Clay, but, through the
fact that his uncle kept book store
where these statesmen were accus-
toned to while away their leisure
hours, came to know them intimately
on their social side, declared that
Webster, while not given TO story-tell-
ing, had one favorite little joke that
he would tell whenever the occasion
seemed opportune.
This, according to Mr.. Lane, was
the story:
There arrived at Boston certain
duehes from one OF the great nations
of Europe. Desiring to have some
headsear suitable for her inland
travels constructed, she sent for the
most prominent milliner in the city
to come to her apartments at the
Revere house. then the principal hotel
in New England.
The local milliner was sent all a
autter at the distinction shown her,
but she was a province bred little
woman of a democratic country and
knew not the "egs-dance conventions
of Court society. Accordingly. desir-

and farm implements, including four
horses and three COWS. OF course, the

Out they rode through the sun

r. stfully through its last winters nap,
stirring already at the step Of lively
April on the threshold. The air was
sharp, and nipped at the princes fin
gers and toes, but it was exhilaration
to be across a horse again, and the
exiles spirit-the case-hardened heart
OF steel which failure and misfortune
never broke till It broke forever at
Sedan-grew buoyant That some

which is good for the inside Of a man"
worked it's subtle charm on this fin

he was gently responsive as the col

Nothing pleased Monsieur 10 Col
onel more than to be master OF the sit

swered blandly and felt that the
prince must notice how no demand
could find Colonel Hampton at a loss.
Most certainly. My daughters
French master would be the very fell
low. He is intelligent and well edu-
Gated. and what is more, he is a most
ardent adherent Of your family, prince.
He has talked to Miss Hampton with
such vehement enthusiasm that, by
the Lord Harry. / believe she expects
to see you fly in with wings, sir--I be-
lieve she does" and the colonel laugh
ed loudly and heartily. II was as good
joke as he had ever made.
And before them, at that mo-
ment, rose a stately picture. A
large old house, built OF dark red brick
brought from England, lowered sud
denly from out Of the bare trees of its
park like monument of calm hos
pitality. It's steep roof was set with
dormer windows; it's copings and its
easements were white stone; a white
stone terrace stretched before 1t. At
one front, as they came. was the car.
riage entrance, and the SQUARES OF
formal Englleh garden, walled with
box hedges. lay sleeping before the
springtime; at the opposite side a
wide lawn fell to a massive brick wall,
spaced with stone pillars. guarding
the grounds from the flowing OF the
James river. Colonel Hampton gazed
at the home OF HIS people and then at
his guest, and he cast the harness OF
his smallnesses and stood out In the
simple and large cordially which is
the heritage above others Of southern
people.

said Lucy Hampton, standing by Blue
bird and watching as the negroes
placed the bars. If horse refused
and turned sharp and was foolish, he
might go over. And the bank is
steep"
Lucy, you are grandmotherly per-
son." Clifford Stewart--who was an
other girl-threw at her. You would
like them all tc ride in wadded wool
dressing gowns, and to have a wall
padded with cotton batting to guard
them" And Lucy smiled and believed
herself overcautious.
The excited horses came dancing I'D
to the barriers and lifted and were
over, with or without rapping, but not
one, for the first round, refusing.
Then the bars were raised six inches;
six inches in mid-air is a large space
when one must jump it. Caperton
Bayly went at 1t first; his mother
watched breathless as he few for
ward, sitting erect, intense, his young
eyes cleaning. Over went his great
horse Traveller, and over the next and
the next--all of them; but the white
heels had struck the top bar twice
the beautiful, spirited performance
was not perfect. Harry Hampton
came next; all of the kindly multitude
gazed eagerly, hoping that the boy to
whom life had given less than the
others might win this honor he want
ed. The first bars without rapping;
the second; and a suppressed sound of
satisfaction, which might soon be a
great roar of pleasure, hummed over
the field. Black Hawk came rushing,
snoring. pulling up to the third jump,
the jump where Lucy stood. And as
he came a little girl, high in a car
riage, chariot as one said then, -four
ished her scarlet parasol in the air,
and lost hold of it, and it flew like a
huge red bird into the course, close
to the hurdle. And Black Hawk,
strung to the highest point of his
thoroughbred nerves, saw. and hor-
ror of the flaming living thing, as it
seemed, caught him. and he swerved
at the bar and bolted-bolted straight
for the steep slope.
A gasp went up from the three hun
dred, four hundred people; the boy
was dashing to death; no one stirred;
every muscle was rigid-the specta-
tors were paralyzed. Not all. Fran
COTS from his babyhood had known
how to think quickly, and these boys
were his pride and his care; he had
thought of that possible danger which
Lucy had forseen; when the jumping
began, mounted on his mare Aquarelle,
he was posted near the head of the
slope, not twenty yards from the hur-
die, to be at hand in any contingency.
When Harry's horse bolted. one touch
put Aquarelle into motion. Like a
line of brown light she dashed at right
angles to the runaway--a line drawn
to intercept the line Of Black Hawks
fight. There was silence over the

Colonel Hampton's study was dark

walnscoting and was lightened by a
dull brightness of portraits. An an

room Importance. A broad window
looked through bare branches, lacy.
black against sky, across rolling
country and groups of woodland.
On the morning of the first day of
April, 1897, Prince Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte stood at this window, star.

a likeness between this new world
and the ancient country which he call

Black Hawk. rushing, saw the ether
coming and swerved at the last mo
ment-too late. The animals collided,
not with full force, yet for moment
it looked like nothing but death for
riders and mounts. Harry Hampton
was thrown backward to the level

and unhurt, across it; Aquarells. one

half a minute the breathless stjn
crowd was in an uproar, and hun
dred men were jostling one another
to reach the scene of the accident
1t was two minutes, perhaps, before
Caperton Bayly. with a negro boy at
his heels. with Jack Littleton and
Harry Wise and a dozen other lads
racing back of him, had plunged over
the drop of land where Francois had
disappeared. Two minutes are enough
sometimes for large event. In that
two minutes Lucy Hampton, without
conscious volition, by an instinct as
simple and imperative as birds in
stinct TO shield her young, had slipped
from her horse Bluebird and flown
across the level and down over the
steep bank till she found herself hold
ing Francois dark head in her arms
and heard her own voice saying words
she had never said even to herself.
Il love you, love you," she said,
and II all the world heard she did not
know or care. There was no world
for her at that minute but the man
lying with his head against her heart
dead it might be, but dead or alive,
dearest. Il love you-love you-love
YOU" she repeated. as if the soul were
rushing out of her in the words.
With that the luminous great eyes
opened, and Francois was looking at
her. and she knew that he had heard.
And then the training of a lifetime, of
centuries, flooded back into her, and
womanly reticence and maidenly
shame and the feelings and attitude
which are not primeval. as she had
been primeval for that one mad mo-
ment. She drew back as she felt him
trying to lift himself, and left him free
and was on her feet, and then with
shock she was aware of another pres
ence; turning she looked up into the
angry glow of her cousins eyes. He
was not looking at her, but at the man
who, dazed, hurt, was trying painfully
to pull himself up. Harry Hampton
glared at him.

brought out through his teeth. II hope

'Shame!" she cried. HE has just

Damn him!" said Harry Hampton.

And Francois, clutching at a bush,
things Keeling about him unsteadily,
looked up, friendly. wistful, at the boy
eursing him.
With that there was an influx of
population; the whole world, appar-
emily, tumbled down the steep bank.

The prince was gone. There had

dinners. gatherings of the Virginia no

his gratitude for the goodness of her

little that the early .riendhness and
intimacy of Harry Ha3ipton seemed to
be wearing off. The COY did not come
so often to Carr fax, and when he
