BANKS IN
 PROSPEROUS CONDITION
In Better Ondition Than Ever to Finance Farmer, Says Commis-
 SiOupr Davis

Little Rock, March 1S.-"The re- ports Of state banks that are being receivsd under the recent call for a slateme nt of conditions on March : show that he banks are probably in the best condition for financing the farmers that they have ever been," said State Bank Commissioner John M. Dav;s today.
 I "Tha reserves are as good if not better than al any previous call. Out Of 130 reports already received. only one is below the legal reserve of b per cent. One of them reports a re- serve of 1Oo per cent, and another 101 per cent. This shows that the banks have ample resources to take care Of all demands that may be made upon them for financing this years crop. The farmer is receiving more attention than ever before at the hands of the bankers, as result Of the various educational campaigns that have been conducted in the state during the last two years. The mer- chants are being taken care of as usual, but the bankers are also taking care of the farmers, and as re- suit all classes of our citizens are prospering''

EVERY SOLDIER A DEAD SHOT
of Rifle Sight That Seems
To Be Deadly.

Every soldier who has been in bat
tie knows that the vast majority Of
bullets never find their mark 1t has
been estimated that in the South Afri-
can war it required more than five
thousand bullets to hit one of the
enemy.
This is due chiefly to the difficulty
which soldiers have in finding their
distance range in the heat of battle
However good they may be at target
shooting at Bisley, 1t Is a very differ
ent thing when they have to fire at an
unknown distance at living targets
which are answering their shots. The
boldest and bravest man is excited,
and 1t is supreme test of nerves
and skill to make that cool calculation
which is necessary to Judge the dis
lance between himself and the enemy
not an easy thing, however steady
mans pulse may be.
But now there comes an invention
which promi cs to make every soldier
a dead sho; t'he inventor is H. ON.
.nundsen, known as kings prizeman
ut Bisley.
BY the application Of simple geo
metrical law-very simple, like other
things. when you happen to know it
he has produced new rifle sight
which does away altogether with the
difficulty of finding the range of dis
lance. The soldier simply has to
Judge the apparent height of the OBJ
ject which he desires to hit, which by
experience is known to be absurdly
easy, and to shoot, according to a
fixed sight, at a point below the OBJ
ject equal to its height.
II he does that he drops" his man.
Naturally the nearer he is to the OBJ
ject the taller it looks. so that the point
at which the rifleman aims varies to
exactly the same degree.-London

down she went and tainted away.
Some one down at the foot Of the
lake had also come on the Ice for
little whirl. He was mad and wanted
to work the feeling Off That after
noon the old man Schemerhorn had
said to him:
Burt Hazleton, have you ever
stopped to think that there are over
100000 sorrowin' married men In
the United States alone?"
No"
Wall, you just work your brains on
that"
What are they sorrowing about?"
You might think it was because
they amt as rich as John Jacob AS
tor, but you'd be wrong. It's because
they are married to wives who are ed
ucated-wives who can tell you all
about Cicero. and yet don't know
when 'tater is done through. Be-
ware OF 'em, Burt. They will wreck
the life of any man"
The best way to work off the mad
ness was to go straight up the middle
OF the lake and dig as hard as pos
sible. Burt was doing this when he
came across an unconscious girl and
a fool dog was jumping back and
forth over the body at times, and then
varying the performance by chasing
his tail In circle around 1t.

Young Hazleton knelt down beside
the girl and shook her and talked to
her and chafed her hands, and by and
by she sighed and opened her eyes to
ask:
Haven't the wolves eaten me up!"

gate at the Parsons home. Miss Ally
said:

wolf. but I'd tainted, and you came

The outward usualness of things
continued after dinner. In the library,

Once, when this murmur grew louder,
under stress of some irrepressible mer-

She rose at once and went into the

in the hall-Edith and her sutton
changing quarters to more distant
room. Mrs. Sheridan returned to her

in haste: Don't say said to. l might

He nodded again, and they sat fol

tears. "That Miss Vertrees was good
