story about August Belmont;
In this place, am reminded, for some.

relative to his banking house. He is a very
passionate man, aud let's fly at odd times
much talk which good boys do not use. So
as he had a confidential secretary to whom he
used to dictate letters, he blazed away at this
poor secretary one morning, and damned him
to q crisp. The clerk was poor fellow,
but a gentleman; so he quietly arose and
took his pen from behind his ear. "Mr. Bel
mont" he said, 81 do not know that can
get another position but will not keep this
one. You shall not have it in your power to
swear ct me, sir.

him again at all.
