Banks that take your money on
deposit and then never give it back
get something for nothing. They are
pickpockets.

Close connection between child

$1,000,000 was raised yesterday to
aid the LaSalle st. Trust & Savings
Bank, according to Charles B. Mum
day, vice president of the institution.
With this security to offer Munday

neither would he say whether or not
Edward Hines and Edward Tilden

A long conference was held at the
bank yesterday. Lorimer was not
present. He is still in Michigan, but
will return today.

OF all the many admirable after-dinner
~ speakers that have had the good luck
to listen to, James Russell Lowell was the
most admirable. He understood the prin-
ciples of the art to perfection, and he APP
Piled them with the utmost skill. In one of
the addresses he made when he was Ameri-
can Minister in London he said:
Il have my own theory as to what after
dinner speaking should be. | think it should
be in the first place short, think it should
be light, and think it should be both extern
poraneous and contemporaneous. l think
it should have the meaning of the moment
in it-and nothing more But he himself
always took pains to find out what this
meaning of the moment might be, and to
expound that meaning briefly and lightly
and yet with the full weight of his wit, his
learning, and his character.
Lowell asserted that after dinner speaking
ought to be eXtemporaneous; but this does
not mean that he lodged the duty of careful
preparation. 1t meant rather that the prep
aration should be so complete that he was
at ease in hitting the temper of his special
audience as this had been disclosed by the

time until larger one takes its
place, the opening thus being gradual
ly enlarged until a full-sized tichiak
can be carried without discomfort. The
object of this singularly discomforting
adornment is to prevent the women
from eating dogs, which are considered
the greatest delicacy by the men of
the tribes.
Both sexes decorate their bodies
with regular designs; the chests and
backs of the little girls aer sacrificed
at very early age. When they arrive
at manageable age, the girls under
go further ordeal, for two sets of
parallel lines are cut both on the chest
and the back, and as soon as possible
after marriage the head lines are
made. These consist of a number Of
short cuts across the forehead, eX
tending from ear to ear, and thrteer
! long, slanting lines are cut on eacf
cheek from ear to chin"

TIMELY WARNING
TO CALOMEL USERS

Any physician will tell you that
mercury, if it remains in the body,
will in time soften and rot the bones.
Doctors call this necrosis of the
bones. Calomel is a form of mercury,
and to keep out of danger it's a safe
plan to take no calomel at all, espe-
cially as there is a better remedy.
Both children and grown people will
find perfect remedy to take the
place of calomel in Dodson's Liver
Tone, pleasant, vegetable liquid that
starts the liver to act and which never
I has any bad after-effects.
Dodson's Liver Tone will do all the
good that calomel does without any of
the dangers of calomel You feel fine
the next day after taking Dodson' S
Liver Tone; you can eat anything you
want and are ready for your daily
work or pleasure with joyous good
feeling. A large bottle is sold for only
fifty cents by Fields Co., Inc, who
will cheerfully refund your money if
you are not satisfied.

THEN and NOW
(By Associated Press.)

More than 5000 missionaries of both
sexes from the United States, and 49,
900 native converts acting as mission
aries, are teaching the Christian faith
throughout the world. They have con
verted 100000 men, women and chill
dren in all lands, and are bringing 75,-
600 more into the fold every year. Over
100000 are learning the ways of
Christianity in the 10000 colleges, the
illogical seminaries, training and Sun
day schools that have been estab-
lished by American missionaries. The
modern missionary is not only spir-
itual adviser, but undertakes to cure
physical ills as well. In the 600 hospi-
tails and free dispensaries established
in foreign lands, it is estimated that
3,000,000,000 treatments have been
given by the 400 male and female doc
tors making up the Foreign Mission
airy Medical staff. In times of famine
they distribute huge sums of money.
The expenses of this vast campaign
are enormous; but no country is as
liberal as the United States. Last
year the American people contributed
nearly $17,OOO,OOO to promote the work
while all nations are spending about
$3S,000,000 to support their 24,00(
Christian and 10000 native mission
aries who have gathered over 5000,
900 adherents in the faith.

One hundred and eight years ago
today the first step was taken toward
establishing the foreign missionary
movement On this day five students
of Williams College gathered in a
grove near the college to hold an open
air meeting. The day was hot and
oppressive. In the midst of the meet
ing a lighting bolt flashed across the
sky, announcing the approach of a
thunderstorm. Hurriedly collecting
their belongings, the students sought
shelter beneath a neighboring hay
stack. Here they continued their dis
cussions while the storm ragged.
Shouting to make himself understood
above the thunder, the young leader,
Samuel ]. Mills, proposed that they
organize ito spread the Gospel among
the heathen." That was the first STEP
Two years later Mills organized the
Society of Brethren" requiring each
of the five members thereof to solemn
ly dedicate his life as a missionary.
Public opinion begging against mis-
sions, the organization was kept secret
| and its constitution was drawn up in
cipher. Six years had passed since
the historic "Haystack meeting,
whose location is now marked with a
monument, before the first five mis-
sionaries, four of whom were accom-
panied by their wives, sailed from
Philadelphia for India upon the frs
American evangelistic campaign tt
foreign lands.

WOMEN WEAR TAILS:
ARE PROUD OF THEM
STRANGE PEOPLE OF NORTHERN
NIGERIA DESCRIBED BY
POLICE OFFICER.

Washington, July 2S.-In the remote |
part of northern Nigeria, not yet I'M
der the complete control of the Brit |
ish, there dwell people whose women
wear tails and are proud of. them, ac-
cording to a statement issued by the |
National Geographic Society, at Wash
ington, D. c., today. The statement is
based on the Investigations of Major
A. ]. N. Tremearne, who has served in
Nigeria both as a police and political
officer.
True it is that these tails are not Of
flesh and blood, but none the less they
play an important part in the social
life of the people, for they are the
outward and visible sign of the matron-
ly dignity says the society. when
woman of the Kangoro, Kali, or of
four other neighboring tribes-the At
lakka, Morva, Katab, or the Jaba-be-
comes a bride, she put off forever the
simple girdle of twisted grass that, up
to that moment, has been her sole
adornment. and assumes the apron of
leaves and the tremendously signifi-
cant tail, or kunnok, as it is called.
in each of the tribes, the kunnock
varies in form, sometimes long and
thin, at others short, mushroom-like
and stumpy, or shaped like a long
bell. These tails are made of palm
fiber, plated or bound together with
string and usually stained with a red
earth, which is also used for the
further adornment of the lady's body.
Often the kunnok is worn quite plain,
but the more ambitious modes pre-
scribe an establishment of brass wire
and colored glass beads. The Kangoor
women are distinguished by the Quak-
er-like simplicity of their attire; they
wear the shortest and plainest of tails,
a few beads around the neck, and per-
haps a really fashionable lady will
add bracelet or leglet of beads; but
the kunnok itself remains in all its
native severity.
1.-THE ladies of the Kajji tribe, how
ever, attest a greater elegance; their
tails are of greater length, the
'stumps' being covered with intricate
designs worked in brass and copper
wire. while the wheel-shaped terminal
is gay with coored beads set in bed
of liquid rubber, of which there is
great deal in the country. In this tribe
the kunnok is generally worn over
bunch of leaves or grass similar tc
that which the ladies Of all the tribes
depend from their girdles in front
Sometimes a Kali matron was desires

will wear a tiny iron bell just above
