With reports of 150 attendance and
empty treasuries, it would appear that
the Western Tri-State league is tot
tering on the ragged edge of adver
sity. Bat the Tri-State has company
in its deolioe; the Northwestern
league U hobbling over the rooks also.
, The Chioago Tribune claims to be
the greatest newspaper, fcrtt the later
Ocean is Chicago's test newspaper.
It is pretty safe to piediot that the
prohibition party will not make Teddy
its candidate for president.
WILLING TO GIVE CREDIT.
Secretary of the Treasury MoAdoo
60ES in the decline of two per cent
government bonds mnob manipulation
on the part of a number of influential
New York banks acting in concert to
cause apprehension and uneasiness
aboat tbese bonds in order to blp
these taoks in tbeir efforts io defeat
the onirenoy bill. Almost the entire
issue of these bonds are owned
throughout the country by the banks,
aad tbey are nsed as security for na
tional bank notes. MoAdoo says
"If tbe pnoe is 'marked down, it is
because tbe banks themselves are put
ting pressure on tbe market and de
pressing the value of tbeir securities.
Tbe fault is tbeir own. It would seem
the part of good sense and good bus
iness not to do it." In bis statement
Seoretary MoAdoo deolared tbe 2 per
cents were worth par notwithstanding
their deoline in tbe New York market,
and oontinned: "The idea seems to
be that tbe country banks wbiob bold
abont two thirds of the 2 per cent
bonds and use tbem as tbo taais for
tbeir circulating notes may be indnced
to be nnited with the New York City
banks in opposition to . tbe bill if they
can be mudp to believe tbnt tbe pro
posed currency measure is going to in
jure tbese bonds and onuse losses to
tbe banks. This is. if coarse, un
founded. Meantime, it is folly for
any bonk to Bell government 2 per oent
at a saoritloe because of any proposed
legislation adverse to government, as
no such legislation will result. In
the 121 years of its existence the gov
ernment bss kept faith sornpulouHly
with its creditors and it is not going
to change Its honorable character now.
It the nccusBities of any bonk oblige it
to sell bonds at depressed prices, that,
of coarse, U another matter a matter
solely for trio bank to determine.
There is not going to be any llnauoiul
'rouble and the large orops now in
prospeot are going to be moved with
out difficulty; and the powers of tbe
department would bo exercised in tbe
greatest amplitude fur the protection
of tbe business interests of tbe coun

Tariff reductions do not seem to

Jefferson's Admirer Wat Mixed, but He
Rose to the Occasion.
Jefferson was the most delightful
story teller I have ever met writes
Mary Shaw in the Century, describing
"The Human Side of Joseph Jeffer
son." Ills varied life and experiences
were wonderfully Interesting Once
we were In Terre Haute, Ind., and the
theater wns near n hotel. We got out
of the cnb mid were strolling through
the hotel corridor when a very pom
pous mnu came up to Mr. Jefferson, as
persons frequently did. and, extending
u!m hand, hmIiI:
"Mr. Jcffi'i'xon, you do not know me,
out I know you very well, nml, sir, 1
nni rery glad to see you n our city.
Von are a great nt-tor I have seen
you ever slme I wns a little boy''-be
looked fully ms old ns Mr. Jefferson
"iind I have always looked forward to
your visit to this place."
lie went on praising Mr. Jefferson,
who presently said:
"I thank you very much. Vou are
very kind."
Tpon whli-li the old gentleman went
on:
"I tell you everywhere In this town
people are glad to see old Josh Wblt
comb." There wns u moment of silence, and
then Mr. Jefferson said:
"1 think you are mistaken. I play
Itlp Van Winkle. You must mean
Mr. Thompson lie plnys Josh Whit
comb." The effusive gentleman paused long
enough to collect bis wits and then
said cheerfully:
"Oh, yes! So you are the old fellow
who played Itlp Van Wlnkle7 Well,
you're good too."
The Famous Portland Vase.
The material of the famous Portland
vase Is rIiihs. with cameo engraving.
The vase Is composed of two layers cf
glass, white over dark blue. Tbe
white was ground uwny by baud so
ns to leave the design in white upon
the blue background. It is one of the
tragedies of the British museum that
this priceless treasure was smashed
to piece by an Insane visitor. It has,
however, been repaired with great skill
and Is now guarded with extra caro.
This beautiful specimen of Greek art
is ten Inches in height, with a diame
ter ut Its broadest part of seven
Inches. Its present name comes from
the fact that It was once owned by
tho Duko of Portland, who loaned if
to the Itrltlsh' museum in 1810.

A word of just praise for a wagon that haa
done its work faithfully p.nd well.
Men become attached to their Studebakers
proud of them.
Because they realize that a Studebaker is
built on honor and with an experience in wagon
building (hat dates back to 1852.
Studebaker wagons are a result of that long,
experience, coupled with a desire to build the
best wagons, not cheap ones.
And when your dealer says "Buy a Studebaker
there's no better wagon made" he's giving you
the verdict of a million farmers. He is not asking
you to try an experiment. ,
