Farmer
of today who does not possess
ji bank account is an excep
tion
To no ono is a checking ac
count nioro of a luxury It
solves the problem of always
having his money at hand of
making exact change and re
ceiving a receipt in return for
the money paid
Some men oven to this day
persist in carrying a roll of
currency on their persons
they are the ones wo usually
read of in the papers as hav
ing been held up and rob
bed
A bank account is the best
burglary insuranco you can
have
This bank wants your busi
ness wo will appreciate it
wo prove it

Grand Staircase o Ycrkes Gallery fc
HE city of New York sustained
quite n loss when the bequest
of the late Charles T Ycrkes
Yerkes that Is of the magnates 9c
oud wife hi Benjamin Constant
The discovery has been made In this
country since the holding of the bit in
ternational expositions abounding in
sculptural decorations that the effect
of such adornments Is much heighten
ed by giving them proper out of door
surroundings Carrying out this idea
Chicago the first American city to hold
a worlds fair embellished to any ex
tent with the sculptors art has been
making the experiment of an outdoor
exhibition The display was held in
Humboldt park and is said to have
been the first outdoor sculpture exhibi
tion ever given in this country Yari
ious societies co cperated the Field Co
lumbian museum lent a number of
groups from the late but not lamented
Columbian exposition and the sculp
tors of Chicago and the west contrib
uted generously of their works Pass
ing along through the shrubbery one
came for instance upon The Miner
a big muscled man carrying his dinner
pail and stooping to kiss his little
daughter a group by Charles J
gun who has done many such works
I and has Gtly been called the sculptor
I of labor On the lawn at the side of
j the path was Leonard Crunelles Coy
and Hen struggling as though in the
midst of an afternoon frolic On the
i bank of a stream which wends its way
through the park was the same sculp
tors Youthful Bather
In New York a somewhat similar
experiment was tried in connection
with the recent annual exhibition of
the National Academy of Design The
sculptural exhibits instead of being
arranged as usual with the paintings
in the Yanderbilt gallery were placed
by themselves in the Gould riding cir-

the background In the center of the
rear wall was placed Sir Frenchs
latest important work the Melvin me
morial entitled Mourning Victory
an achievement that has been com
pared favorably with his now famous
Death and the Sculptor In the cen
ter of this unusual gallery was a
fountain with a fountain group by
Isidore Konti and in front of it was
the rather remarkable figure by Fer
nando Miranda entitled Primitive
Marksman This certainly had not
only thP open air but the primitive
even nrimeval spirit the man here
represented on his back with upraised
feet supporting his bow and aiming
an arrow at the sun beim a creature
who miarht well have lived in the gla
cial epoch so far as thoughts of civili
zation were concerned The fountain
group by Mr Konti shoeing a mother
holding her child and beVding over as
if to dip it in the fiowin water is a
very chaste and beautiful creation
worthy of an artist whoso work at
several expositions has contributed so
much to popular education along the

You havent been married very
long have you snld n guide nt I he
Btntc capitol to a young man who was
Signing Mr and Mrs In the register
for visitors at the desk at the en
trance
How did you know demanded the
young man
Oh we get used to such people here
Bud can tell them every time was
the response You havent written
that name with Mrs very long have
you I believe I can tell how long jou
have been married from the signa
ture the guide continued
Well we havent been married very
long but I dont see Iww you can tell
from the signature How long has it
been
Well let me see The guide picked
up the hook and scanned the name
closely
You have been married live days
today he said with an air of cer
tainty
Thats right its live days but I
dont see how you can tell
The young wife had been sitting on
the marble bench during the colloquy
and not until the couple went out of
the building did she toll hubby that
the guide had accosted her in the same
way and that she had told when they
had been married St Paul Pioneer

Bavarian Distances
In the Bavarian highlands signposts
along the roads instead of stating the
number of miles or kilometers to the
various villages give the amount of
time which the average pedestrian will
supposedly take to traverse the dis
tance This is merely an oflici il ex
pression of the very general custom of
the peasants in the regiou who invari
ably tell inquirers on the ro ids not
how far it is to a place but how long
it takes to get there Not only that
but they make the system still more
unsatisfactory to the stranger by a lit
tle additional eccentricity of their own
For instance one asks How far is
It to Oberammergau
A small half hour will he the an
swer or perhaps A good half hour
cr A big half hour
Which is puzzling until the stransrer
learns that a small half hour means
twenty live minutes a good half
hour thirty minutes a big half hour
thirty five minutes a small three
quarters of an hour forty minutes
aud so on
