SIGNS OP RETURNING PROSPER
ITY.
Conditions throughout the coun
try point to an early return of pros
perity. Bank clearings, and railroad
earnings are below those of a year
ago, but the gap is steadily narrow
ing. There are fewer Idle cars than
there were at the beginning of June.
The July Interest and dividend pay
ments this year in New York, the
country's financial center, were
$177,000,000, as compared with
$184,000,000 in July, 1907. Thus
the falling off is far less than had
been expected. About $46,000,000
of gold has been exported since the
present outward movement began in
the middle of April, but as we gained
over $100,000,000 of gold in Novem
ber and December last, and as we
can get as much as we need from
the outside world at any time we
may need it, this movement does not
disturb anybody. The rates for mon
py are about the same as they are
in midsummer of normal years.
"Re-employment days" are be
coming general. St. Louis had, one
on Juno first, when 15,000 idle per
sons wore put to work. On a far
larger scale the Pittsburg district
had one on July sixth, when
every plant of the United States
Steel Corporation, the largest con
cern In the world in its field, re
sumed operations. The other shops
of that corporation, all over the
country will, It is expected, all bo
running by August first. All the in
dependent steel concerns In the Pitts
burg district, it is announced, will
be at work with a full force by the
first week In August.
The Department of Agriculture In
Washington says the crop outlook is
better, on tho whole, than it ever was
before at this time of the year. It
estimates that the value of the coun
try's farm products of 1908 will
reach tho $8,000,000,000 mark. This
will leave all records far behind. It
will bo more than double the value of
the farm yield of 1900, which was
$3,764,000,000, Big crops have al
ways heretofore meanjt good times
for the country, and they will mean
the same this year.
HANK GUARANTEE FUND.
Among its many innovations carry
ing new mothods Into governmental
affairs the new state of Oklahoma has
undertaken to guarantee all losses to
depositors in case of bank failures.
This stilkqs tho koynpte of tho
financial situation and is of mpre
, actual importanpe than any other
suggestion yet made. So arrange the
laws, national and state, that bank
failures will entail loss only to the
bankers, saving men and women upon
whose money wildcat schemes aro
prppagatod from any risk, and tho
financlnl condition will have largely
righted Itself.
Oklahoma has provided that the
state banking board shall have powpr
to levy an assessment of 1 por cent
on tho capital Btock of every bank
to bo used as a guarantee against
losses by depositors.
All banks to bo organized here
nfter are to pay 3 per cent of their
capital Btock Into this fund when tboy
begin business.
Othor states will follow this reform
on the part of Oklahoma, and a fed
oral law so governing nntlonal banks
Is certain to bo enacted in tho near
future. It Is In accoidanco with jus
tlco and In harmony with tho demand
of the times. It will, indeed, be cur
rency reform.
Where It Belong,!.
"Excuse me," said tho playwright to
his friend who was hissing tho piece,
"do you think it is good form to hiss
my show when I gavo you tho ticket
that admitted you?"
"Certainly," resentfully replied the
friend. "If I'd bought n ticket, I would
have contented myself by going out
side and swearing at myself." Succesi

REINCARNATION.
I've studied reincarnation; to explain It I will try.
It means that you and I will really never die.
What folks call death Is change of form that no one can escape
You die and come to Earth again, but In a different shape.
Some folks turn into animals, and some into a tree
If Jake Goldie comes back again, a high ball hewill be.
Oh, they say we'll appear in different form when we're on Earth again
And you'll see our Coos. Bay men in strange disguises then
We know that woman Bprlngs froni a shadow of the moon
And a man may turn Into a corner saloon
Oh, I know all about reincarnation. f
Now tho fellow who talks In the council in sach a breezy tone
Will be a gramophone, his record will be shown
When Mayor Straw comes back to earth a paved street he will bo
With property remonstrants ho will not at all agree
And Marshal Carter will bo born a pair of steel hand cuffs
And on tho baseball diamond will collar all the muffs.
While Wilhelm Holl again on this world will hatch
As a Murphy In W. R. Haines rront jard potato patch.
i
Now all of us know that Shakespearo Is upon this earth again;
They say he's quite a man and his name Jack Flanagan"
He's written a play for C. S. Dodge who'll play a magazine
And Bill Lawlor is going to act as a can Of gasoline
Then "Mickey" he'll come back to Earth, that's plain,
And he will be a baseball bat and It will stand the strain
Oh, they say we'll appear In a different form when we're on Earth a,gain
And you'll seo our Coos Bay men i n strange disguises then
And Bert Dlmmick, with his saucy tw'rl
Will come to life as a Gibson girl
Oh, I know all about reincarnation.

not happen. It Is a flower that
springs from roots. It Is tho X

The sooner a man learns that he
can't catch happiness by running af
ter it the happier he will be.
The true test of a man's affection
for his wife is when he takes her
fishing and says she caught the big
gest fish of all.
A rich man's son Isn't "old enough,
to know better" within ten years of
the time that a poor man's son is
expected to know.
Is she a girl who will occasionally
give one a kiss?"
"Yes, even two or three a kiss,
I've been informed."
Dorsey Kreitzer's young son put it
up to him this morning all right.
"Papa," he asked, "after every one
dips who'll bury the undertaker?"
The dally lesson: Before marriage,
it Is pjoper to say that He escorted
Her, but if they appqar togpther after
marriage it is correct to say She
dragged Him.

If a man should go up to a boy of

A well-known Coos River rancher,
debiring to take advantage of the
low prices that prevail in the up-to-date
stores of Coos Bay, visited this
city to make some purchases. He
was accompanied by his sister and
among Ihe places visited by them,
was a largo dry goods store. He
purchased a pair of gloves for his
sweetheart and the sister bought a
pair of hose for herself.
But the clerk happened to get
thpm mixed and the explosion came
when the sweetheart opened the
package and found that it contained
a long pair of silk stockings. She
blushed. Then she opened a dainty
little sweqt-scented note and read
the following tender lines:
"I am sending you a little present.
Oh, how I wish that no other hands
than mine would ever be permitted
to touch them after you put them
on, but aas! scon's of fellows may
touch them when I am not by your
side, and many eyes may see them
when you are on the street or at par
ties. I bought the longest pair I
could get, and If they are too long
you may let them wrinkle down. A,
great many girls I know wear them
slipped down a little. Always wear,
them at parties. I want to help you
put them on and see how they fit)
your dear self when I call Tuesday,
night. You 'can clean them easily,
dear, with benzine, if. you leave them
on till thpy dry. I hope they are not
to small. Blow in them before you
put them on.'i
