Mi. Jeffeits spoke of the high ideal of

Carving Oat One Live.
Mr. Herring eulogized Bishop Beecher,
saying that It often has been said that
the subject must be Idealized to fit the
frame, but In this case the frame must be
Idealised to fit the subject. We are to our
lives, he said, aa the sculptor to his block i
of marble. It ia for ua to carve them :
well. Bishop Beecher has worked well
with his block of marble, with his life.
and has made of It a life that Is such that
all his brethren are glad that they are his
brethren.
At the close of tha address Mr. Herring
presented to Bishop Beecher the gold
watch, the gift of the lodge.
Bishop Beecher responded briefly, say
ing that what gave hirn the strength to
stand ' before these men tonight waa the
realisation that It was not to him per
sonally, unworthy, that they paid their
tribute of love and affection, not to the
ego; that It waa the realization that their
expressions of good will simply were the
recognition of a principle, the principle of
tha kindly act.
"If I have been on the firing line," said
the bishop, "and If any act of mine there
has been kind and has been helpful In the
city of Omaha, It has been because I was
so placed that I could do something In the
furtherance of that principle of doing good
for our fellowmen; that principle that la
Inculcated upon all of ua. In my new
work whatever I may accomplish I shall
know Is merely the working of that prin
ciple that has been strengthened by my
beautiful and aweet associations with you."
Mr. Herring presented the flowers, the
gift of the lodge to Mrs. Beecher. The
bishop received them and thanked tha
brothers on behalf of his wife.

Fewrth Assistant Postmaster General
Makes Recsnmaaeadatiea for Lim
ited FareeU Post.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. -Contained In
the annual report of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Degraw, which was
made public today, are several recommen
dations designed to Improve the rural free
delivery service. He makes an urgent plea
for the establishment of a parcel delivery
system along the line of rural routes. Many
farmers, he says, are demanding such a
system and lta establishment would mean
adltional revenue to the government
amounting to millions of dollars.
The total mileage of rural routes m op
eration on June S9 laat. was 993.g; the
mileage per route averaging 24.17.
Mr. Degraw suggest legislation that will
extend to rural carriers and other lines of
the postal service the existing laws which
authorises the postmaster general to pay
C.60S "to the estate of a railway postal
clerk or substitute killed on duty or who
dies within one year from injuries re
ceived on duty" and also will authorise the
payment to employes while suffering from
Injuries so received, of his salary for ona
year.
He further recommends legislation at the
coming seeslon which will make provision
for ths retirement of superannuated em
ployes. COLD WEATHER IN THE SOUTH

lowing the forced liquidation of the yunnah
National bank of yuanah. Ten., ten davs
ago, caused the lonj'ttnllrtr of th1 cur
rency today to Issue an order directing
every one of the T.O nattoral banks n the
Un ted States to Install what pnctlcall-.
amount to a uniform system of bookkeep
ing Investigation disclosed that the bank had
been doing business for the last two years
although umloubtfdlv Insolvent and al
though Ispected at regular Interval by tin
t cnal bunk examiners. Within that t me
the examiners were unable to learn the
hank s true condition, largely because the
management refused to keep a proper rec
ord of its business transactions. It a. so
showed that tlie entire capital of ttO.'lOO
and probably some of the $.'3,000 surplus
wa paid out to stockholders a dividend.
In a statement Comptroller Murray says
his examiners were hoodwinked tor two
years by the way the bank handled Its
notes.
"Within these two years," the comp
troller says, ' the bank carried compare-
Uvely little 'past due" paper, all of the j
notes having the appearance of being i
promptly paid or renewed. The bank had
no discount register and the various earn
ing accounts w-ere kept In such a manner
a to make it practically Impossible to
audit them.
Worthless etes Renewed.
"By this method ot accounting the bank,
without detection of the examiner, had
the doubtful and worthless note renewed
with the lnteret added to ihe note at the
time of renewal. Thl Interest on worth
lea paper had not been collected and was
credited to aome one of the earning ac
counts, and. as the dividends were regu
larly paid, this resulted In paying the cap
ital out to shareholder a dividend."
Report to headquarters how that an
examiner finally did become suspicious
shortly before the bank's closing and in
sisted that a new set of books be Installed.
This the officers did under protest, the
report says, but they abandoned the new
system to return to the old one two days
lat.ir, after the examiner had departed.
Returning to Quanah unexpectedly the ex
aminer found the change and reported it
by telegraph to Washington
To insure a system of bookkeeping by
which the true condition of a national bank
can be determined at any moment the
order Issued today directs examiners on
finding a bank whose exact condition they ,
cannot determine to report the fact by
telegraph to Washington and give the man- !
gement of the bank thirty days to Install !
the necessary books.
"At the end of that period." sa d the 1
comptroller's order, "the examiner will re- i
turn to the bank at Its expense to deter- !
mine If Instructions have been complied
with, and if the necessary books have not
been installed he will remain at its ex
pense until such books are InstalleU under
the direction and supervision of the nam.
Iner."
No criminal or other proceedings to fix
the responsibility for the Quanah Nation
al's condition has been taken.

Al Jackson, turnkey at the city baaUle,
is on the market for formaldehyde in car
load lots, his wife Is still looking nerv
ously for burglar and Clifford, a once un
conquered Thomas cat and the pride of
the household, la bemoaning his pristine
prestige all because a well-known and
well-hated furry little animal of malodor
ous reputation chanced to wander into the
cellar and got himself woefully mixed up
in a rat-trap.
Mysterious noises in ths Jscktfn home,
46JS Burdett street, were heard Wednes
day night, but were not fully Investigated
until yesterday, when Officer Jackson on
his return from duty examined every Inch
of the premises.
Down in the cellar, firmly caught In the
jaws of a rat-trap and trying to drag it
through a hols, was the movtng causa of
all the trouble tkunk of the common
or cellar variety.
Over In another corner was Clifford,
bearing upon his feline person mute evi
dences of the losing subterranean battle
that he had waged with this new disputant
In his domain.
