$1,000 bonds to citizens who have
small savings. The large denomina-
ton merely gives control of the bond
market to the big financiers.
The city of Paris issues bonds in
denomination as low as $40, and the
bankers sneer at them as servant
girl bonds" but the fact remains that
large part of the bonds issued by
the city of Paris are owned by mem
befs of the working class.
If city is going to pay an interest
rate higher than the rate paid on saw
ings deposits, why not pay it to hun
dreds of thousands of citizens instead
of to a few bankers and their GUS
toners?
Why not let our own citizens have
the profit which now goes to specula-
tors in municipal bonds?
And wouldn't citizens who owned
city bonds be more interested in
THEIR. government when they were
in on the ground floor and interested
financially?
Will somebody tell me why Chi
cago issues $1,000 bonds instead Of
500 and $50 bonds?

ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN

Bonds for the People. There is a
growing movement in this country
in favor of cities cutting out the bond
middleman and selling bonds direct
to the people.
When you come to think of it there
is no sound reason for selling city
bonds of $1,000 denomination to
bankers and bond-dealers for them to
sell again to the public at a profit.
If the interest rate is to be higher
from now on, why not issue city
bonds in denominations as low as S25
or $50 and sell direct to citizens
The savings of the people now get
them 8 or per cent from savings
banks and they can't draw their say
mgs out except at months periods
without losing interest. A municipal
bond is a live asset and can be con-
verified into cash at any time. If is
sued in small denominations, it would
make splendid investment for small
savers; and they would get the profit
that now goes to bankers and bond
brokers.
There are times when big financial
interests will block the sale of mu-
nicipal bonds, because they don't
want municipal bonds sold for some
purposes. Municipal ownership is
one purpose they don't like, because
there is always an alliance between
banks and privately-owned public
service utilities.
Comptroller Traeger disposed of a
large block of municipal bonds over
the city counter, even though they
were of $1,000 denomination. Had
they been $50 or 500 bonds he could
have sold millions of them; because
bonds bearing more than 4 per cent
are better investment than money
in the bank.
Why should municipal bonds be

In Foula, one of the Shetland is
lands. the natives make a business o.
rearing skau gulls in order to rid the
islands of eagles that congregate there
and commit many depredations. The
magnificent red sandstone cliffs that
skirt the northwestern coast became
a favorite haunt Of the eagles, and in
this inaccessible spot they increased so
rapidly that they became terror to
the farmers and fishermen who dwell
on this isolated spot The skau gulls
are also strong and fierce and the in
veterate foes of the eagle. In battle
the gulls are nearly always victorious,
and so the inhabitants of Foula hit
upon the novel plan of feeding and
caring for the skau gults, which,
though formidable to their feathered
enemies, are very peaceful and docile
when brought in contact with man.

Story of a Picture.

A picture which attracts verybody's
attention at the Tate gallery by its pc,
sition. it's size and its striking beauty
is that Of a lady riding on white
horse through an archway into court
yard. She is dressed in Il green velvet
riding habit of the time of Charles H..
with Il long red feather in her gray
hat. On her left stands a page in an
old gold velvet suit. with Il dog by his
side. This picture has a remarkable
history. us well as numerous titles.
The catalogue calls it Equestrian por-
trait but it is also known as Nell
Gwynne." the name given it by Mil
lais. and also sometimes as Diana
Vernon" The fact is that Sir Edwin
LandSeer left this picture unfinished
He painted the horse and its trap
pings. intending it for an equestrian
portrait of Queen Victoria. But he
died and left the picture unfinished.
and it was sent to Sir John NIilais,
who painted his own daughter in this
old riding costume. together with the
page, the dog and the background.
The picture was begun in 1870 and
finished twelve years ater--London

Habits of the Cuckoo.

1t is quite Il mistake to suppose that
the cuckoo neglects her egg after she
has deposited it in the nest Of another
bird. declared Oliver q. Pike. in a lee
ture at the Camera club. The cuckoo
kept a watchful eye upon her treasure
and should any accident befall it she
laid another egg in another nest. Mr.
Pike said he believed. although it was
impossible to prove it, that the cuckoo
laid its eggs in the nest of bird of the
same species as that by which it had
itself been reared. Thus a cuckoo
reared by Il sedge warbler laid it's egg
in turn in a sedge warbler's nest. So
wonderful was the spell which the
young cuckoo exercised over other
birds that he had seen birds other than
its foster parents pause in their flight
to feed it, giving it the food which was
intended for their own young, and once
he saw a young cuckoo fed by birds of
five different species in succession

Music Hath Charms.

Dohnanyi, the famous pianist. tells
story of two Scotchmen who lived
in the same fat. Each had piano.
upon which he strummed in his own
room. and one day a friend suggested
that they should run the two pianos
into the same room so that they could
play music written for two pianos.
The two men thought it was good
idea, and accordingly the pianos We're
both placed in the same room. They
practiced diligently at sonata for two
pianos. but with little success for some
time. the difficulty being that one had
generally finished his movement two or
three bars before the other
at last. however. they succeeded In
finishing one movement exactly at the
same moment. and one said. "Aweel,
Donald. now that we've been so sue
cessful with the first movement, sup

UTAH'S NATURAL BRIDGE.
The Secret of Its Origin Somewhat
Puzzles the Scientists.

What is thought to be the largest
natural bridge i'll the world is that OF
southwestern Utah. known as the
George natural bridge. The total length
of this great work Of nature is about
| 200 feet; its Width e.. the roadway"
is about thirty-tve feet; the span in
the clear is about ninety feet. At the
base there flows a small water course
which. during the hot months, dwin-
dies to ii mere rivuet.
Scientists are somewhat pernleXed to
explain the means by which nature
produced this bridge. 1t is thought
hardly possible that it could have been
created by water erosion, unless, as
was most unlikely. there was very
large and swift stream flowing at the
point where the brook now runs
Some authorities are inclined to the
view that this bridge was due to vol
canic action. occurring at some remote
geological period.
Although long known to the Indians.
it was not until about fifteen years ago
that white men became familiar with
the sight of it. Mining prospectors
were the first of the whites to see it.
since it is located in the heart Of
very rugged and inaccessible region.
The span is composed Of dark
brown sandstone of unusual hardness,
and the thickness Of the span is TWEEN
ty feet or more.
Engineers who have examined this
bridge assert that it Is perfectly safe
and secure and that it is fully capable
of sustaining an immense weight. espe-
cially as the span is free from flaws or
seams.-Washingto Star.

ment and governed and in the profess
sional and the business world. How
large part of many mems occupations

thing but perfectly straight talk be-

Giorification of FutiIity.

When General Ben Butler was prac-

striking ideas he evolved and the effec.

In one case, in which he had Il rather
poor show of winning. the time came
for him to cross examine Il fellow law

~ favorable to the other side. Every

would go after the witness with gloves

JUSTICE AND LUNCHEON.
They Seemed to Clash a Trife. So the
Court Made a Change.

1t was formerly the practice of the
supreme court to sit from - noon until
O'Clock continuously on each day
that it was in session. From time to
time, as the afternoon progressed, the
justices, one or two at n time. would
slip out of their seats, snatch bite of
luncheon and return. Sometimes as
many as four or five of them would be
off the bench at once. They usually
had their luncheon brought to them by
their messengers and ate it in the little
curtained recess behind the bench and
as the argument progressed there could
be plainly heard in the courtroom the
clink of knife and fork on plate and
what o. Henry has called 1.-The crash
Of dishes on the American PLAN"
One day lawyer pleading case
made bold to enter a protest He most
solemnly inquired if he could count
upon the continuous and undivided at
tention of even one justice to the thread
Of his argument. THE personnel of
the court has been twice entirely
changed since began" he said plain
lively.
The court deigned no response. but
on the following Monday 1t was ar
nounced from the bench that a recess
for luncheon thereafter would be taken
every day from to 2:30 o'clock and
that the court would sit until 4 80
o'clock every afternoon. Worlds
