THE HESPERIAN IS IH ITS TWEM
rr-FIFTH YEAR.
THE PRESIDENT STUDIES IT.
The St. Louis Republic's Wash-
ington correspondent says:
The president is giving particu-
lar attention to the financial
scheme devised by the National
Association of American Bankers
which met in Baltimore some
months ago. This is generally
known in financial circles as "the
Baltimore plan," and provides for
s currency of bank notes to be is-
sued by banks under the direct su-
pervision and control of the gen-
eral government, but without a re-
serve fund of the government se-
curities. The system further pro-
vides for a general connection of
the banks and the general
accumulation of a liability
fund, by a tax collected from each,
which will be used to make good
debts of individual failed banks.
The security fund was to be some
kind of cash reserve.
This is the plan proposed by Mr.
Hemming of Gainesville, and read
before the Texas Bankers' Asso-
ciation at Fort Worth. Should
this plan be finally made a part of
our national financial system a
Gainesville man will be entitled to
the credit ot first publicly advo-
cating it.
Hon. W. L. Wilson says:
"Hard times is an enemy before
which no political party has ever
been able to stand." And this is
true.
In Ohio the democratic vote fell
off 90,000 and the republican vote
fell short 30,000.
The Arlington Inn, near Fort
Worth, was burned Saturday
night. This expen:ive monument
to the folly of the "boom" period
will not be rebuilt. The men who
furnished money lose a part of it
and the insurance companies the
remainder.

VMS PLAN OP SELLING MEDICINES
Our populist friends have an-
other solution of the light vote in
Gainesville. Some of them are
telling that all the riff-roff votes
were run ofi to Galveston to help
Miles Crowley out. It seems that
the pops were very intent upon
defeating Crowley. The man who
came so near doing it, however,
was a republican banker. Their
professions of hatred for this class
goes for nothing when trying to
beat a democrat.
Some people are quick to kick a
man because he has been defeated.
Many of Senator Hill's enemies
admired his superb courage and
skill during the campaign. But
as soon as he was defeated they
open up the floodgates of abuse
again. Hill is not our kind of a
democrat in many respects, but we
do admire his fight in the last
campaign. When every other
leader had shrunk from the task,
Hill stepped bravely into the
breach and went down holding
aloft the banner of democracy.

Parker, will commence soon in

Who Their Freaobers Are,
A telegram from Bonham to A.
Croziei yesterday evening brings
the news that Rev. J. W. Hill has
been appointed pastor of the Den
ton street Methodist church and
Rev. G. S. Sexton of Broadway
Methodist church. Rev. J. E.
Vinson has been assigned to
Honey Grove.
The appoint of these two able^
eloquent ministers to Gainesville
will be particularly gratifying to
the members of that church as
well as to others who sometimes
worship with them.

Denver, Col., Nov. 12.—In a
sermon on "Lessons from the Late
Elections," at Trinity Methodist
Episcopal church, Rev. Dr. Robert
Mclntyre called Rev. Mr. Park-
hurst of New York "the hero of
our country," and expressed the
hope that he would live to cast a
ballot for "that great and good
man for president,"
Be Stocked I p on Eyes.
Of the glass eye woru by a prominent
publisher of New York several amusing
tales are told. The artificial orb matches
its nataral fellow so accurately that the
two cannot be distinguished apart. One
day the publisher was visited by a man
considerably under the influence of
liquor. The caller made an objection-
able remark to which the only reply
vouchsafed was a prolonged stare cf
indignation. The steady gaze affected
the man's shattered nerves, and his self
control left him entirely when he saw
a fly crawl over the publisher's glass eye
without causing him even to wink.
"Have I got 'em again?" cried the in-
ebriate as he fled to the nearest drua;
store, intent on loading up with aromatic
spirits of ammonia and bromide.
While on a yachting trip the publish-
er suffered for a few hours from seasick-
ness. When he recovered, he noticed
that the good eye was bloodshot, while
the other retained the brilliancy of ap-
parent health. "Ah," he remarked,
cheerfully, "I must stock up on eyes to
as to be prepared for emergencies.
And he did, and he now has on hand
orbs of various shadings.—New York

The following statement will be of Interest to
the many friends of Mr. Wright all over Ala-
bama and Georgia. He was for ten years a
locomotive engineer, and Is now machinist for
the Coosa Manufacturing Co.:
" I know the good there is lu Hood's Sarsapa-
rtita, because it has been proved in the case ot
my wife. In the summer of 1892, she was taken
111 with malarial fever, which the physicians suc-
ceeded in breaking up. But then followed a
vere Illness like dropsy. She seemed to be grow-
ing worse every day, and our friends said
8he Would 8uroly Die.
I was Induced to have her take Hood's Sarsa-
parilla, which was followed by the best results.

Carlyle says that you can tell how a
man would do anything from the way
he sings. However this may be, it is
certainly tme in nine cases out of ten
that yon can tell what sort of a man the
boy will make from seeing him at play
when obliged to stay indoors without a
companion. Lord (then plain William)
Armstrong, the famous engineer, was a
delicate boy, and one winter when 6
years old was confined to the house for
months. To amuse himself he set several
old spinning wheels in motion by
weights descending on strings from top
to bottom of the house over the staircase
railing.
Friends and relatives brought mechan-
ical toys for the litlte prisoner, which
he at once pulled to pieces. It was not
satisfactory to him to see "Jack" jump
up in the "box" when the lid was
raised. He would know what made
"Jack" spring up.
One day, while fishing near a rustic
mill, the water wheel attracted his at-
tention, because it was fed by a rill
above which descended from a height of
nearly 100 feet. Seeing that only 20 feet
of the descent was utilized, he pondered
the question, "Why not use the wholo
descent of the stream as a motive pow-
er?" A swinging lamp in a church sug-
gested to Galiki the pendulum as a
means of measuring time, and Arm-
strong saw in the descending rill power
for a hydraulic crane. He invented one,
and it attracted the attention of leading
engineers.
Lord Armstrong's name is now, as
most of our readers know, identified
with huge rifled cannon, the manufac-
ture of large projectiles and the build-
ing of mighty vessels of war.—Scottish
American.
Multiplication of the Typewriter.
"The coming man will not writs
nearly so much as the man of this age,"
said Professor Charles Whiteford of
Philadelphia at the Normandie, "and
yet it must not te inferred that the art
of penmanship is going to drop into ear-
ly desuetude. The cheaper typewriters
become the less cliirography there will
be. Professional men of any standing
rarely do any writing now, save perhaps
to indite their own signatures. In news-
paper offices three-fourths of the repor-
torial staff compose their 'stories' on
machines, and not a few of the more
dignified editors have learned to play
the keys. Handwriting will linger a
great deal longer in the country and
smaller towns than in the big cities,
for the same reason that the candle and
kerosene lamp linger longest in the for-
mer localities."—Washington Post.

who, with a most courteous bow, ob- |
served, "Well, that is an opinion I can

der, "but are you mosely right?"—San

The Sleep of HoraeM.
When the horse sleeps, it is said that
one ear is directed forward, why is not
known. A writer in The English Me-
chanic thinks this is to guard against
danger, being a survival of their origi-
nally wild habits. He says: "Watch a
horse asleep through the window of his
stable and make a faint noise to the
front. That ear will be all attention,
and probably the other will fly round
sharply to assist. Now let him go to
sleep again and make the same noise
to the left. The forward ear still will
keep guard, with possibly a lightning
flick round, only to resume its former
position."
