The loans and discounts are $54,939, 932. There is in these banks, asa reserve, gold coin to the amount of $2,386,975. ee never Thomas W. Lawson, he of ‘‘frenzied finance,” has organized a new politi- cal party, apd announces his choice for candidates on his ticket to be Roosevelt and Johnson. As Mr. Roosevelt has flatly declined to bea candidate again, and as our governor is otherwise engaged, 1t may be that Mr. Lawson will be compelled to seek elsewhere for standard bearers. teas A new court house for Martino county was dedicated last week, and A.C. Dunn took occasion to air his views of Attorney General Young, giving him fits for daring to defy the federal court injunction. Among those present was Assistant Attorney General Simpson, and after his de- fense of his chief the other gentle- man was sorry he had butted in. peters ev ee The Washington Herald, a Bryan newspaper, has the following editori- alin a recent issue: “Why uot Johnson for Mr. 3ryan’s running mate in 1908? It is agreed that Bryan is to have the nomination practically a foregon conclusion. Why not this man, so popular ina Republican state, for vice president. It seems to the Washington Herald tbat he would be a most sensible selection. “The vice presidency does not mean today what it did afew years back, and it should not. Itis no longer a convenient elevation upon which ambitious statesmeat might be chloroformed to their political death. Mr. Roosevelt permitted no such disposition of himself, neither will Mr. Fairbanks. As the case stands today, Governor would, if elected yice president, be recognized as a sort of reserve presi- dential possibility quite likely to be called higher later on. “He would be a splendid asset and would be constantly, 1f quietly, in the public eye. And what a fine de- parture his nomination would be from that nauseating and cheap policy of the past which had for its object the finding of some one whose single claim to considerable in such regard was a ‘bor’l’ from which a liberal Campaign contribution might be extracted.”’ It would seem that -Gov. is looming up large all over the coun- try as a possibility for a place on the national ticket. But fro tions there is a fighting chance that the governor may be the top of the ticket instead of the trail. There is no real reason why the next presi- dent should not come from the middle west, and no man commands the re- spect and loyalty of his party higher degree than Governor John- son of Minnesota. Johnson Jobnson indica- ina gs The following is the text of the law governing the use of fish houses on the inland waters of this state: “On all inland lakes of this state, a fish house may be used for the purpose of taking pickerel, suckers, and redhorse from the fifteenth of December tothe first of April fol- lowing: provided, further, that any person desiring to use such house shall first make application for a permit for such use to, and obtained such per nit from the game and fish commission, stating that the same is to be used by him for the purpose of obtaining fish for his domestic use and not for commercial purposes, which application shall be accom- pained by a fee of one dollar, but no such person shall be permitted to DEFECTIVE PAGE use more than one fish house.” The fee of one dollar should be sent to Charles Avery, executive agent of the State Game and Fish Commission, St. Paul.

If that law was in effect in this country the mugs would have to be| made twice as large as they now are eae anaes New Light on Ballooning. In a French School the boys were asked to write on the invention of pbaYloons. “Balloons were invented,” wrote one, “by the Brotners Montgol- fier, who were papermakers. They | took a large balloon and filled it with | paper. They then set light to the paper and the bailoon went up.” An- other boy wrote: “When the aero- stats—such being the name given to men who ride ‘n balloons—wish to come down, they fetch some sand and gravel and put it in the balloon.” A | third boy informed his examiners that | “the aeronaut places himself within the balloon, the basket being used for | provisions.” Nature’s Panoramic Display. A marvelous display of atmospherie | reflection peculiar to the Alps was wit- | nessed the other day by passengers in | the Paris-Frankfort express. Shortly after leaving Metz a wonderful pano- rama developed in the horizon on the western side. The sun seemed to light up the whole Alpine chain, the great mass of Mont Blanc stood out clearly marked, its sides covered with snow and its glaciers reflecting the sun- beams. At one moment the iake of Geneva was visible, its water tinged a greenish blue. The mirage faded only at sunset, as the train neared Faulque mont. It had lasted about twenty mix utes. Explicit Directions. A tourist just returned from a holi- day in Ireland tells of an inscription which he saw on a stone at the edge of a small river in County Cavan, says the London Tribune. It read: “When this stone is out of sight it is not safe to ford the river.” This reminds one of a finger post erected by one of the surveyors of Kent roads some years ago, on which was painted: “This is the bridle path to Faversham. If you cannot read this keep on the main road.” Coppernead Comes to Trown. As Miss Anna Montgomery was de- scending the stone stairway of the Carnegie library in Beaver Falls, Pa., she almost stepped on a copperhead snake coiled on one of the steps. She screamed and ran out into the street. The snake was killed. It measured over three feet. How it got on the steps of a public building in the most | frequented part of the town is aj mystery. F.
