TOO MUCH CONFIDENCE.

In noticing the Bogsrt defalcation. the
New York Graphic makes the following
appropriate remarks: "Bogert's defal-
cation shows how necessary it is to eIer-
else supervision over persons in fidu
ciary capacity, no matter how popular
they may be ror how completely they
may have the confidsnsso OF thsir business
associates. A financial officer whose &C.
counts are properly kept has nothing to
fear from the scrutiny of his fellow OFF,
sers. No trustee will resist investigation
If the funds in his hands remain intact.
There are great temptations in business
life. Men with other peoples funds I'M
der their control are often soreiy pressed
for money to meet their own engage
ments. They think it will be easy to re-
place tho amount abstracted at another
time. They begin the defalcation because
assured they can make it good, and they
continue it because they know that the
confidence of their associates in them is
so great that it will not be discovered.
We are far from thinking that no one can
be implicitly trusted. We believe and
know that there are such persons. But
general rules are made for the average
man. The average man does, We know,
give way to temptation. In order that
one great motive should be supplied to
trustees to resist tho temptation to use
the money Of the bsnefciariss of the
trusts they should constantly feel that
their misdeeds in their management are
liable to be discovered. Their accounts
should be examined at stated times and
the funds actually produced so as to
verify the accounts. In Bogert's case
the confidence of his associates proved
his ruin. The chances are decidedly
against his having begun the defaleati0n
if his associates had not plicitly trusted
him and never asked to see his accounts
while 1t is clear that he could not have
continued bis populations had it not been
for this misplaced confidence. Adherence
to the stric. rules of business is the surest
mode Of enforcing strict business mo-
rality on those charged with financial
trusts"

Slade, the young man who was killed
n RndiA last Saturday hu n man n md

Slade, the young man who was killed
in Bodie last Saturday by man named
Withrow, was q nephew of Slads the
desperate OF the plains. made famous by
Mark Twain's Roughing It." The
young man killed at Bodis was dssper.
ate and quarrelsome man, and from the
accounts was not giving much show for
his life by his slayer. His uncle was one
OF tho worst men that ever trod tho soil.
He was bully and q murderer, but a
coward at heart. II he had the advant-
age of man, he would kill him just for
the fun of seeing him kick, and delighted
in torturing those whom he managed to
get in his power. One of the many cpl
sodes in his career which wo think has
never been printed is as follows: One
day Slads walked into . saloon in Mon.
tana minining camp, and taking from
his pocket human ear. threw it on the
bar and said: "Give me some whisky
on that" Nearly every man in the
country feared to offend Slade. for b.
would kill man for the smallest slight,
real or fancied. and the barkssper was
not slow about complying With the re-
quest. Slade poured out some liquor
and drank it and told the barkespsr tc
put tho ear in the cash draw and never
mind the change. The year had be.
ionged to 3 poor inoffensive German,
who, while walking along trail in the
outskirts of the camp was met by Slade
who remarked, II guess I'll take one oil

action to the word, pulled out biz
powie-kniie and slashed Off tho pool
