Leadville shows the most remarkable

The great amount Of postal savings at
Leadville is explained by the fact that
many miners there use the postoffice
department as their only banking con-
nection. Throughout the report this
holds good, showing that laboring peo-
pie are using the department to a
greater extent than any other class.
The Postoffice Department reports

who is in Colorado studying the laws
and conditions governing the care by

view that the public institutions where
the insane are confined should be
made less of prison and more of a

Kick Of the Gun.

When a young American joins the

stinct which not even long city life
can entirely kill. takes gun and
starts out as hunter. one Of the ear
Hest surprises he gets is that nasty
hard kick his firearm gives him.
But the kick Of the big guns in war
Is tremendous. Some of the guns jump
into the air. In others mechanism
takes up the rebound and the gun
slides back into place.
It is curious fact that each Of these
great guns takes fits kick In way all
its own.-New York World.

BATTLED FOR THEIR BRIDES.
The Most Thrilling Wedding Day In
the Worlds History

Inc MOST Ihrtliin9 wedding Day IN
the Worlds History.
Do you know what was the most
thrilling wedding day in the history
Of the world? There have been many
romantic marriages and many nuptial
services that had to be deferred be-
cause of the opposition of parent or
rival. but all Of them pale into dingy
gray when compared with the colorful
spectacle Of the abduction and recap
ture of the Venetian brides in the early
winter Of 923. when Candino IL, the
noble doge. was lending his presence
to the biggest wedding party in the
history Of the Church Of San Pietro
1t had long been the custom for all the
noble brides to be married on St Ma
rvs day. 1t was. moreover. the GUS
tom for the brides to bring with them
all their jewels and their dowries. In
gold coin. inclosed in handsomely carv-
ed chests.
The latter fact was well known in
Trieste, that ancient Roman colony
which was the harbor for bands of pi.
rates who were most clever navigators
On this richest Of all st. Mary's wed
ding days the ceremony for more than
a score of brides had already begun
when the pirates from Trieste burst
into the church. captured the brides
and their dowries and carried them
to the waiting boats. Thanks to the
Trunkmakers' union. there were sew
eral boats waiting, and in these the be-
reft bridegrooms and the sturdy trunk
makers gave pursuit. There was a
battle royal. one Of the most thrilling
sea fights on record. dowries and
brides were recovered. and before mid
night all had been safely married.

RESOURCES OF BANKS
GREATEST IN HISTORY
Federal Reserve Banking Law
Sends Money to Country
Districts

Washington, Nov. 3.-The resources
of the national banks of the United
States have passed their own highest
mark again-boosting the previous high
record of May l by $2lO,006,OO0. Re.
ports to the comptroller of the treasury
in response to the last bank call, show
that resources September 12 totaled
4,411 100000.
This is an increase of $4s5,0OO,O0O ov.
er the June 30 report and of $2.l44,-
OO0,O00 over the September 1915 report.
Total deposits were $l1,362, ,000, 900
which is 1927 100000 more than ever
shown before. 1t is more than $1,000
100000 above the total year ago.
indicating distribution of this money
throughout the country, the comptroi-
ler's officers said today the deposits in
the Chicago Central Reserve banks show
reduction of $2lS,000,000 while in
branch reserve cities there is an in.
crease of $l5l 100000 and in the coun-
try banks an increase of 1894 ZOO, 900.
The fact proves the "healthy, pro-
gressive effect of the federal reserve act
in decentralizing and distributing the
money of the country" said the report.

answer to the present high cost of liv-

Supervisor Charles Nelson declared to-
day that he would soon introduce an
ordinance providing for the establish

of provisions at moderate prices.
"a famine is facing the poorer
classes in San Francisco by reason of
the enormous increases in food prices. -
said Nelson. 81 know of cases here
where families arc actually going with
out proper nourishment because of their
inability to pay the grocer and their
rent at the same time
unless there is speedy improve
ment in conditions, propose to urge the
establishment of new city department
"a municipal grocery, if you like. 1t
would involve purchase by the city Of
huge quantities of provisions and hold
ing them against prohibitive prices that
may develop. These provisions could
be sold at rock bottom prices--the city
aiming to do nothing more than pay ex-
penses.'
