Please give some of the new banking
and currency laws.
The banking and currency law now
in force provides for a federal reserve
board at Washington, consisting of
seven members, TO have control of the
reserve banking and currency system
and report annually to congress: eight
to twelve regional reserve banks locat-
ed in as many cities at the geo.
graphical centers of reserve districts;
all national banks in each reserve dis
trict must join the SYSTEM federal re-
serve. or treasury notes printed by the
government and placed in the regional
banks under heavy security. Any
member bank of the federal reserve
system, except in the cities of New
York, Chicago and st. Louis, may loan
money upon five year farm mortgages,
such mortgages not to exceed half the
value of the land pledged. Secretary
of State Bryan has said that by the
operation of the new law ''the finan-
cial center has been changed from
New York to Washington" which re-
mark led the New York World to re-
ply that the financial center remains,
as always. I'm Wall street.

Will you tell me what was the origi-
,sI cause of the Boer war and the num-
Der Of people killed on each side?
The first war was in 1880 and the
cause was that the British government
attempted TO annex the Transvaal
against the will of the Beers, who won.
A treaty of peace ensued In 1881. The
second war was declared against Eng
and by Dom Paul Kruger In 1899. The
Immediate cause was the attempt OF
Great Britain to coerce the Transvaal
'epublic into granting the franchise to
outsiders" The Orange Free state
made common cause with the Beers,
,ut resistance was finally overcome In
902, and the Beers acknowledged Ed
ward VII. as their lawful sovereign.
The Boer soldiers all told numbered

| How did the phrase "dog days" orig
mate?
1t had its origin in ignorance and
superstition. The ancient Romans cali
ed the six or eight hottest weeks of
summer ''caniculares dies" According
to their theory, the dog star, or Sirius,
rising with the sun, added to it's heat,
and the dog days bore the combined
heat OF the dog star and the sun. The
time was from July 3 to Aug. II.
Some make the time to extend from
July Is to to Aug. 20, and others from
July "a to about Sept /. Sirius, the
dog star. was so called because it was
the brightest star in the constellation
CAMS Major. or the greater dog.

less than two months after the Decla-
ration of Independence. This law
promised half pay for life or during
disability to every officer, soldier or
sailor losing limb or becoming dis
abled in the service. In August. 1880,
while the war was still going on, con-
gress adopted resolution extending
the half pay provision to the widows
or orphan children of officers who had
died in the service. This was the first
orphans. Near the close of the war,
in April. 1882, congress provided that
soldiers who were then sick or wound
ed or unfit for duty should be dis
and pensioned at the rate of
So per month. Many pensions were
granted under this law. and when the
money to pay them was not in the
treasury the pensioners were paid in
certificates payable to bearer and
drawing interest at 6 per cent till paid,
without any date being fixed or pro-
vision made for their payment. Many
Of the revolutionary pensioners sold
their certificates as low as 1919 cents

President Wilson's Attitude
Towards Negro Citizens

1t may be that the leader OF the negro
delegation which visited President Wilson
to protest against segregation of negro
clerks in the Departments at Washington
may have acknowledgement. He may have
shown lack of selfcontrol in regard to
temper. Even so, the Presidents attitude
towards the delegation shows one thing
above all others, viz. the fact that he for
got for the moment that he is the Presi-
dent of the American people and not
simply the representative of public opin-
ion in that section ofcountry in which he
happened to be born. The attitude of The
Wilson administration towards negros
in public employ can be satisfactory only
TO those who are rowed by the pro-
vincial prejudice of the states where the
Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitu-
tion is dead letter, and the statement
concerning human equality made in the
Declaration of Independence merely wind.

scorching sunshine blessed the city, the
lowest temperature for the "a hours

where.
Negligee wearing apparel of the

FORMERLY OF DELTON

Mrs. Mary Flickner, formerly of Del
ton, died in Milford, New Jersey, on
June %, of apoplexy after an illness of
less than thirty-s six hours. She was
born near Milford, New Jersey, January
l, 1888, and after her marriage to Peter
Flickner they came to Wisconsin and
will be we'll remembered by manv of
the older residents of Baraboo, old New
port and Delton, at which latter place
they resided until Mr.. t'lickner's death
about fourteen years ago. A couple of
years ago she purchased the home in
Milford where her parents lived and
died 80 many years ago, and has since
resided there, holnesick for old friends
and scenes in Wisconsin.
Her letters were marvels as regards
penmanship and composition and it
could we'll be said of her that she was
eighty-one years young, for she retained
all Of her faculties and the humor and
cheerfulness of youth.
A strong Advantist by faith, she
hoped and looked for the speedy coming
of Christ and His kingdom and trusted
Him and His promises to the utmost.
Thus has passed away woman loved
and honored by many who will regret
her demise.
