land was accosted by an amateur fish
erman dressed in the height Of fash

Hello, there. boatmanw called out
the stranger, who saw that Mr.. Cleve-

There's the rub! Poor old King

Happy indeed will he be if he can
enter a silo where he may be warmed
and fitted up for further usefulness.
Farmer Strong can be depended

The race between Jack Frost
and king Corn promises to be the
closest in many years.
This annual event is being run of
under the eyes of thousands of inter
ested spectators, tbronging the race,
course, the surrounding hillsides and
even the front steps of the grocery
stores facing the track. Even in the
pool room up town, we are told, that
the white Nag from the North is
the favorite.
A late start and heavy track have
made hard going for the husky cham
pion of the middle west. As they
swing past the last quarter post and
enter the home stretch he is a good
length behind with his white antag-
onist hugging the inside fence. The
green and yellow boy is keeping to
his pace bravely and seems to be
gathering his energies for final
burst of speed which his more hopeful
admirers say will bring him to VIC
tory. The majority however, are
less optimistic and declare the
white" d sure winner unless he
loses his wind in the final stretch.
One of the most anxious among the
crowd at the track is the Farmer
Strong" He has had personal charge
of king Corn" all through the train
ing season and has spent much OF
both time and money in preparing
him for this, the greatest event of

He Popped.

A gentleman who had been in
Chicago only three days, but who
had been paying attention to a
prominent Chicago belle, wanted to
propose, but was afraid he would
be thought too hasty. He delicately
preached the subject as follows:
eff we're to speak to you Of mar
riage, after having only made your
acquaintance three days ago, what
would you say of it?"
"Well, / should say never put off
till tomorrow that which should
have been done the day before yes

The Comptroller of the Currency,
who is cooperating with the
various state banking depart
has ordered national
banks to cease the practice en-
tirely.
An overdraft is not considered
an evidence Of debt, and hence
banks, under section 2024-1),
relating to powers OF state
banks, --have no authority to per-
NIT customers to overdraw their
accounts. An accidental over
draft may perhaps be overlooked,
but habitual overdrafts will not
be allowed as an asset of a bank.
Overdrafts not being permiss-
able under the law, this depart
ment will insist that they be
charged to the profit and loss
account, in accordance with
section 2O24-39 of the statutes.
Checks on your bank cannot
be carried as cash items.
This matter should be brought
to the attention of your custom
ers without delay.

The worst railroad wreck l ever

person of morphine addict.
The transcontinental sleeper in
which l was a passenger was going
through the deserts of Utah. | had
just finished shaving when there
was terrific crash, and the car be-
gan to roll over and over down the
high railway embankment. When it
stopped / managed to crawl through
broken window. The porter OF
the car in which / was travelling
emerged through the shattered win
low behind me. / told him was
doctor, that among my effects ne
would find an instrument case and
small hypodermic pocket set, and
he returned to get them for me.
Knowing that the greatest need
for my services would be in the vi
cinity of the engines-for it was a
head-on collision went as fast as
possible to this locality. Near the
locomotives / came across the body
Of one of the engineers, whose leg
was almost severed, the blood from
torn artery squirting high in the
air. With the towel still in my
hand with which I had been drying
my face at the time of the accident
I made a tourniquet, and, jerking
rib from the bleached bones OF a
coyotes carcass lying near, tighten
ed it until the red flow was
stanched.
To the gathering passengers ! an
nounced that / was a physician
and would take charge of the injur-
ed as they brought them to me. An
operating table was improvised
from the door of the baggage car,
seats and trunks, and as the wound
ed arrived l gave whatever first aid
was possible. The excited but un-
hurt hysterical women were calm
ed by being ordered to make band
ages from sheets commandeered
from the sleepers. In all attend
ed about 100 passengers.
The small supply of morphine in
my pocket hypodermic case was
soon exhausted, and as the suffer
ings of the victims became greater
realized the great necessity for
more. Every doctor is familiar with
the Characteristic and peculiar pal
| lor of the opium user. / had re-
called seeing one Of these unfortu-
mates on the train, and guessed that
he would have supply Of this mar
cotic with him. Leaving my tenn
porary operating table, ! went
| among the passengers in search OF
this man, and finally found him,
badly bruised, lying beside one OF
the demolished cars. l asked him
to give me what morphine he had.
He cheerfully complied, handing
me all in his possession, two bot
ties.
What that drug meant to the
many. injured on that hot, treeless
| desert no one but physician can
ever understand.

badly injured were given attention,
