THE FINANCIAL SITUATION
New York Banks bfgin shipping

Danger of failure averted bj
agreement of trust companies to
stand together.
Gold imported and engaged
abroad for New York reacht ag
gregate of $37,500,000.
Subtreasury issues currency
against gold which arrived on
Kronprinzeesin Cecilie:
Stock market strong and buoy

Chicago Banks gain large
amount of currency and may soon
resume cash payments.
SL Paul Bankers of Northwest
announce plan to provide funds for
moving crops.
Washington Treasury Depart
ment shipping large amounts of
currency to banks and receiving
many applications for more,
The financial situation in the
East, according to the dispatches,
continues to improve, on account
of the import of gold from Europe.
In the Weet the condition has
grown no worse and many think it
is better than a week ago,. The
Governor still keeps on the holiday
lid, and the people are becoming
accustomed to the situation, and
take it as a matter of necessity.
In the meantime business is going
on as usual, and there is no evi
dance of a panicky feeling in this
county, so far as we have been
able to learn.
Would it be strange, if it were
discovered later on, that the rail
roads and other big corporations,
had started a small scare, just to
discredit the President, and that it
went farther than they intended;
and that now they are getting anx
iouB to have the scare Btop, as they
see they may suffer themselves?
Whether such a theory is correct
or not, there are many people who
give it as a theory.
The judicial and the ministerial
phases in law are being discussed
more or less by the local bar, with
reference to their application dur
ing the holidays. The general
opinion seems to be that judicial
acts are barred by the holiday
proclamation, but that ministerial
acts, are not. It is understood that
a majority of the attorneys so hold.
in this place.
A number of people from other
parts of the county were in town
yesterday, having , business before
the County Court, but that body,
acting upon the advice of attorneys,
did nothing but allow the expense
bills for which the county was lia
ble.
San Francisco repudiated the
ticket of the Ruef sympathizers,
i Tuesday, and elected the municipal
. ticket which represented civic de
cency. Another feather in the hat
of Napoleon Heney, the cotqueror
: of graft.
Jos. Bishop, of Helvetia, was a
county seat visitor today.
Mrs. W. W. Paine, of Glencoe,
wife of the prominent Etockman,
this afternoon exhibited a fire
branch of ripe raspberries, and the
fruit was as nice as that ripened
under a July sun..
W. H. Smith, of the Christian
- church of this city, entertained his
Sunday School class, at his home,
oa the evening of November 1st,
the members of which report a very
pleasant evening. The program
consisted of games, music, and an
old fashioned taffy pull.

From letters received from the
Thorues, by friends in this oity,
from their new borne in San Diego,
it is learned that they are well
pleased with that country, and its
almost perpetual sunshine, and
tbat the Greears are also enjoying
tbe mild winter climate of that
section. But after while, we pre
diet, there will come a longing for

The porch was a pleasant place In the
quiet of the summer afternoon. Mrs
Condon rocked slowly back and forth,
pausing now and then lu her sewing to
look across the broad acres to the
wooded patch on the rid.;i that marked
the horizon. It was all hers, the rich
est farm In Ll.seom county, and yet slu
sighed softly as she took up her work
again.
MaP' Mrs. Condon looked up with
a start Her thoughts had lieen fai
back In the past wheu she was youuii
and as pretty as the girlish figure that
stood In the doorway.
"Henry Griswold is coming to se
you this afteruoou." went on the girl
'"lie wants to ask you for me."
With checks atlarue she leau.-d for
ward and buried her face on the elder
woman's shoulder. Mrs. Condon push
ed her gently away and the gaunt,
tired face grew hard.
"Does Hank Griswold want to niarrv
you or the farm?" she demanded Wuut
ly. "It ain't going to do him a mite ol
good to ask."
. "He doesn't want the old farm
stormed the girl. "We're going to live
on his place."
"If he gets you," amended Mrs. Con
don. "It won't! do a mite o' good tt
argue, Sue. There ain't no fortune
hunter going to marry you."
"He's nt a fortuue hunter," defend
ed the girl. "It's a cruel, wicked, hate
ful thing to say!"
"You go right straight into the
house," commanded Mrs. Condon, "and
don't you come out here again until
you can be respectful to your mother.'
For a moment the girl paused rebel
llously, but habit was stronger than
this new mutinous feeling, and slowly
she went Inside. Mrs. Condon picked
up her sewing again, but her hands
lay Idle In her lap, and tired eyes look
ed out across the fields. She had paid
a bitter price for those broad acres,
and Hank Griswold, struggling with
his tiny farm, should never be their

owner. She had been forced Into a
loveless marriage by an uvaricious fa
ther, and her heart had turned to
stone. 8he could not believe In love.
It must be the fields that Griswold
wanted. It might seem hard to Susie,
but It waa for the best.
Down the narrow strip of road, run
ning like a dusty river between the
green banks of verdure, shambled a
bent figure. It turned lu at the gate,
unmindful of Mrs. Condon's shrill
warning that she did not feed tramps.
"I'll work for it," he said eagerly.
"I'm willing to pay my way, but you
people are so set against tramps Hint
you won't even give me a chance to
work for food."
"I suppose you'll teil me next that
you re a mechanic on his way to n Job
that's been promised him," she said
scornfully.
''I'm a tramp, a hobo," he said de
flantly. "It's all I've been for ten
years and more. I only work when I
hare to, but I'm willing to work now
for the sake of food."
Mrs. Condon smiled approvingly. She
liked truth even lnjjjramp.

"I guess there ain't much to do," the
said as she rose to her feet "Tba
wood's all split, and I've got two men
for chores, but I'll give you some
thing"
The tramp sank down on the steps,
and presently she reappeared with a
Nwl containing the remnant of a
stew and part of a loaf of bread.
She watched him as he wolfed hi
food, and wheu he set the bowl dowa
on the porch she nodded approvingly.
"I guess you were hungry," she con
ceiled. "We don't like tramps In
through here."
"You don't have to tell me," he de
clared, with a grin. "I knew a chap
what came from round here souia
where. He was my side partner for a
couple of r.ars. They used to call
him 'Starry Sam' because he had brace
lets of stars tattooed on bis wrists."
"I know the man you mean," ah
s.i M. with an Impasslv face, "but I
didn't know he was a tramp."
"There was a woman," explained th
tramp, seeing that she was Interested
and scenting a chance to get food to
carry with him on his way.
"He told me the story once. He was
Ir love with a girl, but her old mas
made her marry a fellow that bad mon
ey. Sam couldn't stand for seeing her
unotlu-r man's wife, uml he lit out.
He wasn't a hit lu the city. Ills
disappointment sorter took the heart
out of him."
"I know," she said quietly. "He was
killed the next yeur while saving a lit
tle child."
"Kjied nothin'!" scoffed the tramp.
"That w.-s a stall for the girl he was
stuck on. He was down so low he took
to the road, ami he got the clerk of a
lodging house to put up tbat steer. Said
he'd rather have her think he was dead
than to guess he'd taken to the road.
You know the girl'"
"Y'es, I know her."
"Well, don't tell her Sam was a
good fellow. It was only that he didn't
have anything to live for. You can't
Maine him. He's dead now. He got Id
with some yeggs after he left me and
.the bulls got him In Chi."
"The bulls got hliu?" The woman's
voice quavered a little.
"That's slang," explained the tramp.
"The Chicago policemen started to ar-n-st
him, and he tried to run, so they
shot him. He was a good man," he
added softly. "Say, lady, you couldn't
let me have some more bread, could
you, to take with me'"
She rose without a word and entered
the house, returning presently with a
fresh louf und some cold meat wrapped
In a paper. With a word of thanks
the tramp slouched off, and the summer
stillness fell upon the piazza again.
lint the woman's heart throbbed with
a dull ache.
"The bulls got him In Chi."
The sentence ran in her brain. So
this was the epitaph of her boy lover.
The heroic rescue, lu which he gave up
bis life for another, was but a figment
of imagination. She shuddered as
though she had come In physical con
tact with the thing tiiut had been her
Idol and who hud become a loathsome,
ragged tramp.
Then her thoughts softened. Her
visitor had been right. Sam bad been
different from the practical, unimagina
tive men with whom he lived. They
bad made great plana for the future
their future and disappointment had
taken the heart out of him,
A dreamer, men culled him; a vision
ory, Mho preferred the pen to the plow.
It was fur this reason thut her father
had withheld his consent and had forc
ed her Into a hateful marriage with
Condon.
She Kiit with Idle bands staring across
the fields, with eyes that pierced the
veil of years. Her eyes were dry. Her
tears were long since shed, but tbe old
wound bled afresh.
For years her heart bad been as a
stone within her breast, but now It
softened under the Influence of her
grief. The sinking sun shot its beam
slantwise across the porch and warmed
afresh her benumbed sensation. At last
she HtirriNl.
"Sue:" she called. Tbe girl, her eyes
red and swollen from weeping, appear
ed In the doorway.
"You'd better bathe your eye and
put on your muslin dress," counseled
her mother. "If Hunk Is coming you'll

A Quser Insoript on.
A monumental inscription quoted by
Mr. Thomas Wainwright In "Iievoii
Notes and Queries" affords an Interest
ing example of the earlier of the use
of the word "umbrella" which are pre
sented lu Gay's lines:
Let Persian domes th' umbrella's ribs dis
play To guard their beauties from the sunny
ray;
Or sweaUnc slaves support the haly loud
Whoa iulurn monarch show their stuto
abroad;
Britain In winter only knuws Its aid
To guard from chilly shuw'rs the walking
maid.
Perhaps the word "timbraculimr In
the Vulgate version of the history of
Jonah suggested to the author of the
epitaph to write:
Blest was th prophet In his heavenly
shade,
But ah, how soon did his umbrella fade!
iJke our frail bodys, whlche, being bom
of elay,
Spring In a night and wither In a day.
