"There was a little bit of a gal
comes to the Rainwater country
once" the Old Man drawled his pips
hanging loosely bet ween his teeth.
"This little gal was tho daughter
of a eastern sk pilot that had come
out for hlB litiMiin hud was kinder
puttln' In his time pintln' ua poor
Rainwdcr folks at the great shlnln'
target as he put It. She came out
to see him durln' her college vaoa-
tion an' right away gospll stock
Jumped clean over the top of the
blackboard. This littlo girl had a way
of takin' hold of your hand an' look-
In' wistfully out of her big bluo eyes
an' sayin': 'Surely I'll see you at
services Sunday?' that jUHt plumb
ronvinced you that church was tho
very thing you had been a-pinin' for
ever since Christmas.
"There was two of the boys Ned
Carter from the Two Stars an' Hank
Peters from the Double Crons that
was Just plumb locoed over this hero
Rtil.
"Well these two was runnln' 'bout
neck an' neck an' Ned was gettln'
wild didn't Renin to have no con-
trol of hisfielf no how. Dot ho bought
15 silk scarfs nil' hold up a greaser
with his Run an' made him sell him
his bin silver npurs. He had plumb
pono to the end of his rope when ho
thought he hbw a chance to make a
bit an' he Jumped In with both feet.
"Virginia's "dad was hold In' a re-
vival an' No fignerg to himself that
If he was to pet converted It would
boost hp his stock a whole lot so
he sails In. Which same would have
been all right It It had been anybody
but Ned but he never could do any-
thing moderate. All that shout in' an'
ulngln' kinder rocs to his head an'
he's got two different brands of loco
In his svBtcm at tho same time.
"Tills hero move of Ned's sure
stumps Hank for awhile but he
braces up an' 'lows he'll amble
'round some evenln' an' see what
kind of a cold deck proposition this
hern ts anyhow. Which same he
joes.
"When he et.s to the door It's
early so he kinder harks round to
see what brand of mavericks Is fre-
quently this range anyhow lie's a
scouiln' onto Ned Carter's arm an'
n-lnoktn' up from time to time Into
his face. They goes on Into the Dox-
:logy works an' then Hank slides In
n' takes a back seat unpretentious
like. Hank never was no hand to
lump Into a game without first walk-
In' around the room.
"Well presently they commenced to
pet up Hteutii an' they phorely Jerked
her wide open! Of all the esclte-
ment T ever did eo. outa': of a In-
dian pain killer dance that nieetin'
had It bout a mllo. Kvery once In
awMle Bomo mavaiirk would let out
a yO an' ro a-plungin' up to the
mourners' bench an" that would start
'em all over again. Presently some
of the most earnest ones comes
a-plowin' hack to drug up others that
ain't yet Been the light. 'Mon these
here was Ned. He seed Hank a Rut-
tin' there with a kinder disdainful
sir an' he makes a bee-line for him.
"Come on an' Kit washed of your
sins yo' poor benighted heathen!"
he yells at Hank.
"Per what?" Hank fays a whole
lot disdainful.
"To save you from hell for which
Mini) you're on the express with no
return t:ke.t." Nc;d says a whole lot
earnest.
"IIe'1? Huh! Hain't none!" pay
Haiik. contemptuously.
"Ain't?" says Ned peelln" his coat.
"Iioks like you're one of them that
hni to he showed" he continued an'
then they tangled.
'"In tl.cr any hell now?' I frequent-
ly heard Ned say an" Haul: let out a
yell.
'"Thar shore Is!' ho pants an soon
as Ned rolls oft htm he makes a
charge for that mourners' bench like
he was In front of a stampede.
" 'You certainly believe in the
church inllitery Mr. Carter' Virginia
savs wlpin' the tears out of her eyes.
'That was the best scrimmage I ever
saw. I wish .Tack could have seen
II he's the lightweight champion of
the east you know. Wo are going
to bo married next r.onth on the
quiet and If you ever como east yon
want to look lis up.' "
"Which the funny pait of It was"
the Old Man concluded "Ned poos tiff
prompt on rriepn' suit p.hoots rp
riedhlanket and the sheriff an' Hank
stuck to the gospel outfit like wool
to a ceeliif' an' now is a kind of
deputy nlty pilot hinnolf."

Tourists and Fake Curio.
Doctor Wakeling the Egyptologist
says It Is useless to warn the tourist
against the fake curio. He buys and
Is sold with unfailing regularity and
hardly any imitation Is too gross to
deceive him.
Pot tor Wakciing tells the story of a
voiiian who bought a scarab from a
boy who assured her that ho had him-
self stolen Is from the excavation In
the Temple of AUnaton She dis-
played her treasure triumphantly and
ulways with the words "And I am
sure it must ho true fcr he had such
an honest littlo lace."

a reserve in tie Imperial bunk ol

0l'ilHh1 in order to be prepared fo( !
"any eventuality." Taught a lesson
by the wholesale withdrawal of the
Russian French English and Ameri-
can deposits during the Moroccan
crisis in Kill the German banks are
slowly piling up a big reserve. Ger-
many's unprecedented military in-
create which lias been characterized
even in the German press as mobiliza-
tion in time of peace created a sen-
sation at i.omo as we'll as abroad.
With much le.-s noies and publicity
the luPi.taiy preparatUins are being

that more and more paper mem-y Is

Tho Imperial hank now has a re-
serve fund of about $20ii()i)(iuU(. About
j $:."itlif;iMil) new coinage is turned out
annually. It is said that for a period
of from one to two years none of
tho new coinage i to be put into cir-
culation. Tills coinage together with
small withdrawals is to ho piled up
In t he Imperial bank until the gold
reserve total reaches the ?:i7e(M)0OOu
mark. In place of the new coinage
paper money in 10 and 0 mark "kas-
seiiHcheine" cr "greenbacks" Is to he
printed to fill the pap. Aside from
this $.ri(fm0tMi gold annually is to be
withdrawn from circulation until ?S0-
OnO.Oon has-- been aded to the "war
chest." This gap also Is to be filled
with paper. Next $:;ttti00f00 is to be
coined especially for the "war chest"
so as to bring the to(M up to $1)0.000.

Hioo'ld war be declared t lie law
provides that the government may is-
