Writing a Charter.

constitution and the statutory laws
best raited to the needs of Shawnee
It c*oes not mean the chirter of some
other city applied to Shawnee, bu the
selection from the charters of other
cities the prMrresslve provisions which
can be pneticilly applied here and
the addition of inch other provlsloni

words each elective cit.y officer is to

Jnat the same as any competent bus!

should expect to serve the city under

Guarding Bank of France.
Like the Bank ot England, the Bank
of France Is now guarded every night
by •oKiiers. But within quite recent
time the officials at the French bank
resorted to a very novel method of
protecting their bullion.
This consisted in engaging masons
to wall up the doors of the vaults in
the cellar with hydraulic mortar at
soon as the money was deposited each
day in these receptacles. The watei
was then turned on and kept run-
ning until thr whole cellar was
flooded A burglar would be obliged
to work in a diving .suit and break
do**n a cement wall before he could
even begin to plunder the vaults.
