VOLUME XIX. \h $1,425,294,504,212. New York UlerrinB-Houae Transactions for Fvrtj.Kight Years. These figures represent the tot 1 transactions of the New York clear ing house during- the forty-eight years of its existence, ending Sept. 30, 1901. It is difficult to grasp the real meaning of such a sum of money r-—a million and a half millions—a thousand and a half billions! It is more than three times the wealth of the whole world, and would pay the world's debts forty times over. This money, if in one dollar bills and placed lengthwise, would extend 10, 689,708,781,605 inches, or 56,237, 941 miles, would girdle the earth 2, 278 times, or reach to the moon and back, even if it were 100 times far ther away than its real distance of 238,850 miles. Or, if made into a quilt, it would entirely cover the state of New Jersey or the state of Massachusetts. In silver dollars, placed one above another, it would reach 950,000 miles or four times as high as the moon. Placed side by side, they would reach 11,400,000 miles, or 460 times around the earth. In gold it would make 68,954, 741,375 fine ounfces at the present price of $20-67 per fine ounce, of 75,653,694,590 ounces avoidupoisf or 6.304,475,542 pounds, 3. *52,237 tons. It would measure one solid block of 3,929,021 cubic leet ot gold. It is $890 per capita lor the pres ent inhabitants ot the earth, $18,510 per capita for the inhabitants ol the United States, or $407,229, per capi ta for the inhabitant? of New York city, where the transactions took place. Nearly two thirds of these clear ances and balances have been within the past twenty years and nearly one third within the past ten years—and transactions for 1901 being fifteen times as large as forty-eight years ago. v1 The dealings of New York- are about two-thirds those ot the whole Ill H1.KV LAND CO., FVIED.

The Illinois Freemason has be come disgusted with the habit of making a saint out ol an "excuse sort-of-a-member" by way of resolu tion after his death. It aptly says: "The writer would rejoice to see the resolution habit relegated to the past. It has become,so stereotyped in form as to assume something of the farcical. Every time a Mason dies a committee on resolutions is appointed, and they immediately hunt up some form previously used and adapt it to the new condition. Some years ago the writer had occa sion to raise $100 to care for an aged brother who was destitute and on his deathbed. Among those called on was the friend and companion of this man's youth, who" was worth several hundred thousand dollars. He flatly refused to contribute one cent, say ing that his friend had had just as good a chknce in the world as hi/n self, and the fact that he was poor, was his own fault. Two years later the inhuman brother died, and the committee on resolutions brought in a report-extolling him for his charity and brotherly kindness. The reso lutions were £arcial and disgusting to those who knew the -circutnstances. If a man's life and work are not such as to enshrine his memory in the hearts ot his friends no set of-resolu tions, however exalting, will keep his memory green. Let us do away with this resolution habit, and teach men to so live that when dead "N& twre-may stand'up and say to all the world, this was a man." engineering leat, what electrical ac- graphers, barkeepers, cooks, bank complishment, wh-it invention of ne cessity or luxury can compare with it?—Francis Curtis in Leslie's Week ly. ft UK LEY, SOUTH DAKOTA, TELUKSJDAY, i. -f A printing office is usually con sidered a tough place (by some peo ple) and the newspaper worker rather a bad man. Statistics do not bear out the idea. Of 3,890 con victs in the state penitentiary ol Texas, there is not one printer or newspaper man, while there are ministers, barbers, photo- ers and members of all professions and callings. The printer gets a bad name because the nature of his buiness teaches him to despise and scorn a hypocrite.—Faulkton Advo cate. Red field Press: We have heard people say, "if this is such a fine country as you claim it is why do so many people sell out and go somewhere else?" Well, that is a fair question and deserves a fair answer if it can be answered at all. We have been studying the question a good 4eal concluded that some sell out and move because they still have the old pioneer,blood in their veins. Their fathers fought the wilder ness and the .spns inherited the spirit of ad enture, the love of battle and exultation of victory, just as surely, as the Indian in herits a desire to roam the prai ries care free. When the country is settled up and the work of opening the farms is over they be come restless, and not knowing very definitely why, they want to sell out. They have a loye for new soil, new home, new com munity, and off they sion ^WSJ when the new wears $eek other fields. Then others sell because in the develop ment of hardly the country they have kept up with the proces and can ceeds where buy well fixed $35 $22 not have as good buildings, fine horses, carriages and furniture as their neighbors.
