We call it a clearing-right here in Chicago or In New York. Now youd think hanks couldn't clear their checks by telephone, but, as I said before, we beat tne world for progress and have Invented the new system. , The whole scheme is very simple and has proved a safeguard against some of the bugaboos that worry bankers such things as overdrafts, for Instance. Every day at noon one bank will call up another by telephone, read off the amount of the checks and the names of the drawers. Some of these checks will ba on the bank at the other end of the wire and some of them will be drawn on an institution with which that bank has considerable business. Now, you see, half a dozen or more hanks in one county or section of the state can arrange a certain time for calling up some one bank, which is the central bank. All the banks call this one, notifying it they have checks on it or upon any of the others.

My conscience has always hurt me just a bit about a little thing that happened at Helena, Ark., during the veteran, war," said a while musing over some of the sidelights of the 60s, "and I do not mind telling you In a confidential way that I have prayed over it a good many white-haire- d times. In Price was skirmishing round the hills hack of Helena at the time. The Confederate lines were In bad shape. They needed provisions, clothing and a few other things. There was a certain merchant in Helena who had been doing a deal of smuggling, and I had been keeping pretty well up with him. Here was my I told him he could sell chance. some goods down below town if he could get out of Helena with them, and I offered to help him do it He had a large yawl which he has pressed into service before, and It did not take me a great length of time to convince him that we could use this yawl to advantage. He fell right into the plan. One night we loaded the boat down with an assorted cargo, clothing, food, and other things which the merchant had in stock. At that time you couldnt hardly get away from the soldiers, but we managed to get out Into the river without making much noise. It was a very dark night When we had reached the current of the stream I suggested to the merchant that we lay down In the boat Until we had drifted down below the city. We allowed the current to drive us several miles below the city. In fact, as far down as I wanted to go, for 1 knew exactly where the ConfedWe erate soldiers were camped. pulled into a small bayou and started to tie up. Suddenly a squad of men swooped down on us and placed ns Under arrest. Then they began to unload the boat. The merchant did not seem to care so much about the $2,000 worth of goods he had In the yawl and Fhich the soldiers had confiscated. He told me we were In great danger of being shot, but I consoled him by saying that I would fix up a scheme to escape. That night a squad was named to watch us until daylight. About 3 a. m.

In the village cemetery at Tylerville, Conn., civil war veterans have year by year on Memorial Day placed a wreath to the memory of Private George Waterhouse. The records show that he was shot in 1864 while fighting for the Stars and Stripes in Louisiana. He left an aged father and mother and a younger brother, Frank, when he went to the front with the Twenty-fourt- h Connecticut volunteers in 1863. The regiment was assigned to Gen. Banks command and was in the Red river campaign. Frank Waterhouse, since the death of his parents, has kept up the old homestead. He was aroused by a knock at the door one night last week. Frank Waterhouse, let me In! called a voice, shaking with emotion. I am your brother George. Frank opened wide the door. Despite the silvered hair of the man who entered Frank recognized the big brother to whom he had waved good-b- y thirty-eigh- t years ago, and their hands clasped. George said that he had been left for dead on a Louisiana battlefield, but some negroes found him, and, observing that life was not extinct, they changed his uniform for one of gray, took him to a cabin, and He nursed him back to health. changed his name ana drifted to Texas, where he started a cattle ranch and became prosperous. Later he settled in Pennsylvania. There came to him recently a longing to see his old home. He will spend several weeks with his brother, and will then return to Texas to Inspect his ranch. Wearing Gen. Lees Socks. The discipline of Gen. Lees socks was an Institution peculiar to our hospital. Mrs. Lee, It Is well known, spent most of her time in making gloves and socks for the soldiers. And she gave me, at one time, several pairs of Gen. Lees old socks so darned that we saw they had been well worn by our hero. We kept these socks to apply to the feet of those laggard old soldiers" who were suspected of preferring the "luxury of hospital life to the activity of the field. And sfch was the effect of the application of these warlike socks that even a threat of it had the result of sendinga man to his regiment who had whgered months In inactivity. It came to be a standing joke In the hospital, infinitely enjoyed by tha men. If a poor wretch was out of his bed over a week he would be threatened with Gen. Lees socks; and through this means some most obstinate cases were cured. Four of the most determined rheumatic patients, who had resisted scarifying of the limbs, and what was worse, the smallest and thinnest of diets, were sent to their regiments and did good service afterward. With these men the socks had to be left on several hours, amid shouts of laughter from the assistants, showing that though men may withstand pain and starvation they succumb to ridicule. Emily V.

BOOTH A VEGETARIAN. Salvation Army Leader Will Not Eat Meat. Few people are aware that Gen. Booth, head and founder of the Salvation Army, who recently visited this city, is a pronounced vegetarian. In years he has eaten neither fish, flesh nor eggs, says the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune. Even butter, milk or vegetables cooked with fat are denied. His diet is solely upon cereals, boiled rice being largely his sustenance. He occasionally eats rice, for breakfast, dinner and supper, and then enters upon the same diet the next day. A member of the army said recentGen. Booth believes in his body. ly: Yet meats and strong drinks he heartily despises. He will not smoke, because he realizes that he has a nervous system that must he protected. He will not drink, partly from principle and partly because he realizes that for every stimulation there Is an equal and consequent reaction. He is a vegetarian not merely because he believes that primitive mankind the Adam and Eve of the Bible were vegetarians, but because, after a long practical trial, he finds himself far younger than his" years, while the mortal parts of most men, who laugh at what they call his crankiness, are like In John Browns body the grave. Realizing Countrys Greatness. P. J. McDonald, who served for three years in the House, returned the other day from a six weeks trip throughout the country, In company with M. C. Keefe. You really dont know what this country is until you look it over, says Mr. McDonald. We were gone six weeks and went through every state In the Union, covering something like 13,000 miles in all. Talk about the recent visits of royal and other personages, who make a flying trip across the country! What can they know about It? Why, nothing or next to It. The only way to see the country and the people is to take things leisurely, as we did. In some cities we would spend two or three days. The two or three days gave us an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas. Yes, sir, this Is a great country a Boston Journal. wonderful country! Love Triumphant.

From Farmers Review; Figures will not lie, hut the other fellow often gets very much mistaken, and I see the other fellow attended our State Dairymens convention, and had something to say about silos. He gave the cost of a Cobh silo as built by our president, Joseph Newman. Now, the fact is Jos. Newman did not build a Cobb silo,, but one he has given a new name. In a letter to me regarding it silo, he styled It a and I find that the Newman part of It cost as much as the Cobb part, virtually doubling cost of building. Now, Cobb Is not responsible for -plated hoops, mahogany staves or costly superstructures that pass as foundations. Mr. Newman has a splendid silo, one of the best in the state, but the six feet of mason work added greatly to cost and should not be charged up to my style of silo. As to length of life of a silo on my plan, will say that at Osco, Henry county, on the farm of M. M. Nash, is a silo of r inch flooring that has its fourteenth crop in it and Is good for many more. Question: If this r stuff lasts fourteen or more years, how long will a silo two inches thick last? Fears were ex pressed that in a few years my spiked silos would not draw together. This Is not so; they flraw together as closely as any style of silo, and, in fact, after the second or third year do not require tightening at all. The past fall we did not tighten a single nut Last spring I addressed the Retail Milk Dealers Association at Burlington, Iowa, on cheap milk production, and at that time laid especial stress on value of the silo. From this talk sprung five silos built after my plans. Mr. Perry of Burlington built a 100-tosilo at a total cost of $97.88. Three men and a boy put it up from 9 oclock a. m. to 4 oclock p. m. F. M. Parsons of same city put up a silo at a total cost of $180. The others cost less than $1 per ton capacity. So much for the figures will not lie proposition. Buff Jersey. .1,, .AGRICULTURE .
