The old farmer's fingers were full ' of knots and fence rail splinters, and , he had to look over his spectacles for some time before be saw the paving teller at the window, but he inanaged to hand in the check he had 1 wrapped in his red handkerchief, and 1 stood waiting for his money, says the Detroit Free Press. "You will have to be identified t before we can pay this,'' said the teller. Toe farmer stooped a little, stuck his head against the window grating and said explosively: 1 -Hey?" The teller repeated his statement. The old farmer took the check, i folded it carefully with his big fingers, and then rubbed his gray chin whiskers thoughtfully. "Have to be identified, do I?'* he eaid thoughtfully. "Lernme, see; who knows me?- Thai's Jim Patson, I but he lives 'way up town. Why, say! this here's Carriu'ton's back ain't it?" "This is the First National Bank," said the teller, "and Mr. Curiugtcu . is the cashier.'' ' Whar is lit?" '"Second window to your right." The old man stepped over to the cashier's window and rapped on it with his whipstock. The cashier, smooth, cool, distant, gray sidewhiskered, confronted him. "I waDt to git the money on this here check, and that slick young feller in the other pen said I would have to be identified." ' That is the rule," said the cashier. Tou will have to bring some ^ one in who knows you to vouch for your idenity." "'Couldn't you do it?" asked the - old man. * Certainly not; udess I were acu quainted with you." The old farmer laughed so loudly that everybody in the bank looked around and listened. ( "Why, smash all potato bugs! don't you remember 'Lias Crowden.

You never could look a feller straight in the face, and you've got that -scar on your ear yet that old man Phipps gave you when he caught ye trying to steal his best turkey." "Yes, yes," said the cashier, hurriedly as he stirred things about on his desk and frowned deeply at some old envelopes; "those old times?yes, certainly?boyhood's day, childish sports, and all that sort of thing, to be sure?quite so, indeed. The teller is waiting to pay check." "I'm goin' in a minute. Why, talk about idemnifyin' Pete Carrinton, you want to hear me do it. Now I bet you don't 'member that day when?" "You'll have to excuse me, Mr. Crowder," said the cashier, prancing up and down in his cage and pre j tending to be looking for sometning "I am very busy today." ' Yes, I'll excuse you," said the old farmer leaning his elbow on the window. "I jest wanted to see how good I could indemnify you if I tried. Guess you find this kind ov work easier than pedulin' fertilizer in an ox cart like you did the year your UDcle Dick got mixed up in that train robbery, don't you? The cashier left an important looking batch of papers in his hand and walked back into the private office. The old man stemped over to the teller again and handed his check betwreen the bars. "Pete says ye can pay it," he said. "Mr. P. Ellin'ton Carriu'ton indemnified me, and Iv'e indemnified Pete.

Debate Be- j I i I comes Urenerai. j j t Washington, Jan. 2G.?At Ihe open- ! | iDg of the senate today, Mr. Hale | | presented the report of the conferees ; [ on the urgent deficiency appropria- j tion bill, and the report was agreed ! to. | Upon motion of Mr. Vest, the sen- | i ate took up the Teller resolution. The debate was opened by Mr. j i Teller, the author of the resolution, i I i He said he would permit no man to { excel him in honor or in good faith, j i 'T would do nothing," he said, "that ! would bring about such a condition ! of affairs as would be disgraceful, whatever the opinion of the senator ! from Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar) may | be of my opinions or convictions. ' The Massachusetts senator tiied to ! make it appear that my position was ; nn a nnmllel with the making of a I ten dollar piece out of a copper cent, j Such a proposition I do not advance, j and I do not think it would fiud ! much support in this or any other ; legislative body." Mr. Teller maintained that the existing contract concerned the money j in which bonds of the United States j were payable could not be changed j without action of congress?one of j the parties to the- contract?and that j the government had a right to all the J advantages the contract afforded it. Mr. Fairbanks asked Mr. Toiler : | whether the present secretary ol the ' J treasury was now paying out only j I gold in liquidation of the bonded j obligations of the government. Mr. Teller said his belief was that i I the administration was paying the in- ! I terest on coiu obligations of the gov eminent, no such obligations Laving matured in gold. "I Lave absolute information,*' re torted Mr. Fairbanks, "that the administration is paying tbe obligations I I refer to in legal tender notes. On j January 1, $20,000,000 of bonds j matured, and I am informed by tbe \ j secretary of tbe treasury tbat tbese j j bonds were paid not in gold, not in i ! silver, but in legal tender notes." "If that be so,''1 said Mr. Teller, "we might as well discontinue this j debate and take a vote upon the | pending resolution now." No EVASIONj The point had been reached, i thought Mr. Telier, when the effort i is being made by the national admin* i istration to put the country on agold j i basis. He thonght there had been j i too much sophistry and evasion upon ; i the Uuancial question among those J ; who discussed it during the past | twenty years, and in his opinion the j I time had arrived for all panics to' i 1 i-walk squarely up to the cannon's : j mouth of the question and deal faiily j ; and honestly with themselves. In response to a statement by Mr. i i Teller that $202,000,000 of bonds i | were sold for the purpose of main- j j taiuing the gold standard, Mr. Gear ! of Iowa said it was well known that j ! more than $200, 900,000 of I base ! ! bonds were sold to meet a deficiency I { in the treasury. This statement was j ! flatly contradicted by the Colorado j j senator, who maintained that there j ; was no necessity for the sale of bonds \ I to meet cuirent expenses when there j j was plenty of silver to meet pressing ; lI obligations of the government. Referring in the course of his re- ' ! ! ; marks to the presidential contest of ! 1890, Mr. Teller said that no politi- i ! ... I : cal campaign in this country had : ' ever been characterized bv so much j j bitterness, acrimony and vindictive- ! ; ness. He conceded the light, he i ' said, of others to differ from him j ! upon tins ana otuer questions, uui be held Le ought to be accorded the i i i ; same right, aud the liberty of the | ! people not oulv of this country, but ! of the world, depended upon the j ! lightful solution of the financial I ^ J j question. Ke Lad a light to speak ! here for the great masses of the peo- : j ' i pie, and he took advantage of it be1 ' cause he felt that the fastening of r, JE., lage. Prompt and 1 the gold standard upon the country i would simply make of the people hewers of wood and drawers of water. The Suprise of All. Al"*.

The question under discussion had, as question usually do, resolved itself iato one of economy. Senator Mayfield characterized Mr. Archer's posi- | tion as unique, a position that taxes ! were low enough and there was no necessity for retrenchment, while at the same time he was advertising himself as a candidate for governor on the platform of economy. Mr. Archer retaliated by declaring that his position on economy was without fault and that he had no occasion for apologizing for the votes | he cast in the senate, as the gentle- i man from Bamberg bad just done. Mr. Archer is, so far the only j avowed candidate for the governor- I ship except the incumbent, and as such has been the object of several sharp digs from his colleagues. Mr. Mayfield is generally considered as a candidate for the position, but he has not expressed himself as yet. Mr. Archer's platform was, "purity in politics, patriotism and ! temperance.*' Mr. Mayfield's trend j seems to be towards some such motto j as "an efficient government economi- i ally administered and home rule in ' local affairs.*' There has been no little election- i eering about the State house - this j year.

Although the committee on the dispensary is expected to introduce a bill to satisfy the friends of the dispensary that docs not preclude the introduction of bills which members believe would solve the difficulty, Representative .Simkins has intro duced the following joint resolution that might be called a local option measure. It is as follows: To ascertain the sentiment of the qualified electors of the .State on three plans of dealing with intoxicating liquors, to wit: Prohibition, dis pensary or high license. Section 1. That at the next general election in this State the man agers at the voting places in this Slate shall prepare a ballot box in which the qualified electors, authorized to vote for the members of the general assembly voting at such place may each deposit a ballot expressing his preference for one of the follow- | int plans of dealing with intoxicat- j ing liquors, to wit: Prohibition, dispensary or high license. Sec. 2. The qualified electors vot- i ing at such election shall deposit a ballot printed or written thereon one ! of the plans named in section 1 of this act, and said ballot shall be j counted for such plan.

The time of the year is at hand I when the farmers are pitching their J cotton crop for the coming year, and i it behooves them to think well over ! the situation and count the cost of j making cotton.

This # item of co*t amounts to between two j and three dollars per acre, according to the quantity used and the price paid for it. This of itself is a pretty heavy per cent, on the value of the laud and takes a pretty heavy toll out of a bale of cotton that brings only *25. That the land should be liberally manured goes without saying, but it should uot be done at too great an outlay of cash. The fertilizer seasou is already opening and it is geti ting to be an every day sight to see wagons loaded with it going to the farms, and we often wonder how these 1 men will feel next November when | pay day rolls around and their cotton ! is bringing only 5 cents. Will they j get enough more cotton off their land to pay for the additional expenditure? ; This is a matter that the farmers i would better ponder well over and go | a little slow about it. v Free Pill.
