MADE THE CONDUCTOR SMILE
Dignified Lady Thought She Was Handing Man Her Ticket, But 1t
 Was Something Else.

With an air of satisfaction, a dig n1fied matron living on the South side settled herself in a section of the Pull man bound for Chicago-the first stage in a trip to Europe, relates the Kansas City Star. Presently came the con- ductor, and the woman handed him a small envelope. The conductor had grizZled hair and eyes that twinkled. He looked long and carefully at the ob- ject he drew from the envelope.
 Did you think, madam" he asked, that you could ride to Chicago on this?"
 Why, of course I did," said the woman.
 But I do not think l can possibly accept this as transportation to Chi cago," persisted the conductor, whose eyes were now frankly laughing.
 The woman became very reserved, but her eyes snapped. "On what grounds do you refuse my ticket?" she demanded.
 At this the conductor could not re- strain his mirth. He held up the ob- ject he had taken from the envelope.
 T didnt-no, couldn't have given you my bunion plasters."
 But she had.

Early Strategy.

The origin and the local color of the following story is German. The spirit of it one which is not, perhaps, en, .tirely alien to American youth. Hans and Fritz, two small boys, had gone to the rink to skate. Hans overcoat ham, pered him and he wanted to get rid of it. The German coatroom person does not check your coat unless you pay your fee. The fee was only e penny, but Hans did not have the penny. He was at a loss.
 Huh! it's read easy spoke up Fritz. Give me your overcoat. I'll take it to the man at the checking place and say I found it. He'll put it away. When you are ready to go home you go to him and ask if anybody has turned lost overeoat in to him. Then, of course, you'll get yours"

Reculation of Bank Officials.

The time is coming said Deputy State Bank Commissioner J. D. Covey, "when state banks and their officers will be prohibited from owning large blocks of stock in other corporations. It is already prohibited in many other states. It has been found to be detri- mental to the interests of the bank, and there are plenty of other lines of investment that are as profitable, and that will not involve the interests of the bank. Of course, it will take some time to work out the change for it cannot be done arbitrarily. But it must gradually come around to that. And the time is also coming when the manager of bank will be paid a sufficient salary to require him to give his entire attention and energy to it. That will be matter of economy"

Applies to Primary Elections.

There has been a great deal of com ment throughout the state for several days on account of the discovery made by some one that the Corrupt Practices act of 1913 applies to general as well as to primary elections. If this be true, it would require all nominees for state, district and county offices tc file pledges again for the September election. Several officers, including a number of those at the state house. have filed the pledges, but it is gen, orally considered unnecessary.
 "I do not think the act was intend. ed to apply to general elections" said Attorney General Moose, who himself had filled out 8 pledge when mum. Der of the other state officials were doing so. "It refers only to primary elections, until the thirteenth section, when it says that it shall apply also to general and special elections. l be, lieve it was intended that that should mean general and special primary cleo tions, and not the biennial election held in September"

KEPT THEM UNDER HIS EYE
Idea of Garden Party for Fanatics Proved Salvation of British Gov
 ernor in India.

Lord Suffield went with the then prince of Walter to India in 1875. At one place the governor felt nervous be- cause among his people there were a number of political and religious fanatics, who might be expected to make trouble when the prince passed through. He was strongly tempted to lock them all up, but this would have been a somewhat high-handed action, and the governor hesitated to enforce 1t.
 He mentioned his difficulty to one of his daughters.
 But why not give a garden party, papa?" she replied at once. Invite them all and keep them entertained until the prince has passed through" ]"

ARKANSAS BANKS
 IN GOOD CONDITION
TOTAL RESERVE FAR IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT REQUIRED
 BY THE LAW.
OVER DRAFTS CUT DOWN
Good Work Being Done By Sank Com missioner in Stablezinq the

Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Little Rock
 The banks of Arkansas have been steadily increasing in stability and as whole are now in very healthy con- dition, according to figures made pub lie Thursday by Bank Commissioner John M. Davis, who has just completed 3 recapitulation of the bank statements filed in response to the departments call at the close of business June 30.
 The total reserve shown in the | June statements" Commissioner Davis said, lis far in excess of the laws requirements and shows a very healthy condition"
 The statements show total resources of $69, ,735, ,909, distributed among five private banks, A trust companies and 373 state banks.
 The aggregate capitalization of all the banks under the Banking Depart ment is $13,S65, ,S27.50, with a surplus of $3,746, ,S64.06, and undivided profits to- taling $1,796,526.76.
 The total deposits June 90 of this year were $41,333.103.
 The amount of gold carried by the banks increased from S265, ,633.5O on March 1, when the first call was made to $275,633.30 on June 30.
 A most significant item, showing the effect of careful oversight by the Bank Commissioner, is that the az gregate overdrafts reported March 4, were $2,159,62S.3S while on June 30 this had been reduced to the practi- cally negligible amount of S626, .25. The elimination of the overdrafts is one of the things which the commis- sioner is insisting upon.
 The commissioner commends to others the action of the new Bankers Trust Company, just opened in Little Rock, whose directors adopted a reso- lution that no salaried officer of the bank would be permitted to borrow money from the. bank.
 The three state bank examiners, Guy Phillips, A. F. Bailey, and A. J. Reap, are examining about forty banks month, and have already examined three hundred. It will take very nearly a year to complete the first examination of all the state banks in Arkansas, but after this year they ex- pect to make two rounds each year. One feature of the work with which the public has pot been made familiar IS that through the efforts of the com missioner and his deputies and examin- CTS, at least fifteen banks have been saved from suspension since January 1. Being found in g failing condition as the result of mismanagement or other remediable cause, they have been put on a sound financial basis, and thus successfully carried over the financial breakers. One instance of this kind occurred only last week.

Urged to Attend Hioh School.

]. L. Bond, state supervisor of rural schools, is writing a personal letter to all pupils who received common school promotion certificates during the year, urging them to begin now planning to attend the next term of school. He says:
 Tn many districts of the state the people are working to build up strong country schools that will be able to offer high school advantages to all pupils who are ready for this higher work and this may be the case in your ,:istrict. I hope that you are plan ming to attend high school during the next season of school-you can't afford to stop your school work where you are at present. You should at least be satisfied with nothing less than a good high school course.
 You should of course continue your work in your home school if possible to do so. But if you cannot do this, you should plan to attend some good high school somewhere near your home"

SIMPLY DEMANDING HER OWN
Recent Discoveries Show That Wom- an Has Retrogressed Since the
 Days of the Pharaohs.

In the days of the Pharaohs-no less than in the days of the Roman empire woman was on a plane of equality with man. There is thus, perhaps, nothing eXorbitant now in her de- mand for the vote. She is only ask ing for a little of her own back.
 Sir Gaston Maspero has unearthed some Pharaonic papyri which throw an interesting light on the Pharaonic consideration of woman and marriage.
 In those days mankind evidently ia vored kind of trial marriaged, and this marriage woman entered on terms of perfect equality, or even, perhaps, on terms of superiority.
 This was the usual Pharanoic mar riage contract, as deciphered by Sir Gaston Maspero:
 Thou takest me to be thy wife and thou givest unto me dowry. If it so hap that l tire of thee or that I cast my eyes on another than thee will return unto thee a part of thy dowry and will go where good seemeth unto me-"

Pininq for a Companion.

There was a great variety of beasts; and I was greatly astonished at not seeing you there"
 Another farmer wishing to enter some animals at an agricultural eXhi- bition wrote as follows to the secre- tary of the society: Dear Sir-Enter me also for a jackass."

No Longer Strain on Her Nerves.


 For week after Mrs. Wakefield gave her colored cook an alarm clock the family was awakened each day at 6 a. m. by the clang of it's resound- ing bell. At the end of this time it was heard no more in the early watches of the morning, but Mrs. Wakefield fancied several times that she detected the muff1ed sound of it's alarm toward evening. When ques- tioned on the subject Dinah said with a shake of her dusky head:
 Well, Miss Wakefield, nah nerves ain bery strong, as yo' know, an dat alarm clock jes' riled 'em all up. I kin stan it in de ebenin' fust rate, but ter be woke up sudden upsets me; so l jes' sets 1t fo' de ebenin' stead ob de mawnin' an it goes off an doan' disturb nobody"
