in exceptional times, as in 1907, a
great difference will re visible. In
the panic of 1907. the banks would
not even allow a depositor 10 draw
out his own money-mucn less would
they make customary loans on ap-
proved security, even 20 their -rGst
reliable customers. 1t was as if, in
time when the fire alarms were ring
ing to an unusual extent, the fire COM
panies should decide to responi to
calls, but to keep the mer and appa-
ratus solely for the protection Of the
engine houses. At the very time when
the banks have been most uaoded IN
the exercise of their functions. they
have ceased to function at all; and
h~va thus magnifed and intensified
the business troubles that with bet
ter system they could wholly have
nrevented. Under our plan of hav-
ing each bank an Independent affair,
the first symptom of financial stress
led every banker to protect his own
reserves lest he might become the
victim of a run" He lacked higher
financial power upon which he might
rely for support in trying to help his
business neighbors. The new system
promises something like complete
remedy for such conditions. The banks
are to be federated for mutual help
under the auspices of central gov
ernment board.

Land May Come West

San Francisco, Feb. 5.-Grover
Land, a catcher belonging to the In
dianapolis club, has asked Manager
Del Howard for a job. Howard is COM
municating with Land, but will do
nothing definitely in regard to pur-
chasing of the eastern player until
he hears whether Walter Schmidt is
going to be with the Seals This year
or not.
Land was a big Lacquer with the
Cleveland club in 1911 and PLAYED in
"a games, batting at the low percent
age of .141 and fielding .961. In 1912
he was in the American Association
with Toledo and had a fairly good
record.
The case of Schmidt is puzzling the
local magnates. Two weeks ago he ex-
pressed a desire to talk over his con-
tract with Howard. The Seal leader
has been expecting him to drop in any
day as the club sent transportation

On Time.

By Walt Mason: This truth I'm
spreading near and far, by means
of locoed rhyme: You'd better do
without a car than buy car on
time. Who are the folks who fume
and fret, the while their bosoms
bleed? They are the ones who GO
in debt for things they do not need.
Their names would fill catalogue in
this debt-ridden cline; you'd better
do without dog than buy dog on
time How happy is the man who
knows he does not owe bone! The
grosser sorts of griefs and woes are
leaving him alone; the charge it,
course he won't indorse, nor owe a
man a dime; you'd better do with
out a horse than buy a horse on time.
The man who always pays his way
is honored everywhere, and mer-
chants want his trade and pray that
they may have a share; collectors
do not dog his heels, nor lawyers
haunt his door; he phys to- what he
buys with wheels composed of silver
ore. And such man enjoys this
life, and finds the world sublime;
you'd better do without a wife than
get a wife on time.

is stupid and conceited, and robs one
of lot of fun.
"The exclusive restaurants of Nice
were London House and the Restau-
rant Helder. They were essentially
private room restaurants, like the
Cafe Anglais in Paris. But they have
disappeared, as the Cafe Anglais has
disappeared, and the disappearance OF
these three famous houses proves that
eXclusiveness, too-stupid, conceited
exclusiveness-ha disappeared.
"The world of today agrees with
Mr.. HoWells:
"'Yes, | suppose it is well to make
some sort of exclusion,
Well to put up the bars, under
whatever pretense;
Only be careful, be very careful, lest
in the confusion,
You should shut yourself on the
wrong side of the fence" +" .

When l eat and drink he does the

Then when supper time is done an
it comes time to play,
Father takes me "pick-a-b back" like
fathers always do
Mother Little Feller goes a-ridin' that

Ist as if my daddy was the Mother
