A writer in the Philadelphia Times,
interviewing Mr.. Wanamaker in the
latter's office at Washington, records
this incident; During the lull clerk
entered the room with IA payroll, on
which was written at the top, John
Wanamaker, $577.7S." The clerk re-
quested Mr.. Wanamaker to sign the
payroll and then handed him II long
envelope full Of crisp 500, $50 and
$50 bills. The money had just come
from the treasury and had never been
used Il have to sign the payroll
just the same as the Waterman Of the
building" said Mr. Wanamaker.
EThis is my salary since l came here
on the 9th Of March" Looking in
the envelope at the bright new bills he
said: II don't know what to do with
this money. This is the first money
for salary have received since 1860.
My! that's thirty years ago! 1t seems
quite odd to sign payroll and to be
handed 10y pay" Then he took the
envelope and held il in his hands for
several minutes without speaking,
perhaps thinking of the time when he
was bookkeeper-thon put it in his
pocket

When one comes to the question of

For the younger woman nothing is for

thus far; widow who remarries may

Many people ares unaware Of The
Significance Of the word sslimited.a
following the title Of a corporation,
and even those who are fully posted
in regard to the liability limits Of
the stockholders iii d corporation
having that word attato tohed. to its
name, will find tho facts below }}of
interest. The old principle Of cor
porations created by legislative 9 act
was that tic entire property of every
stockholder was liable for the whole
debts of the whole company, as the
whole property Of every member Of
a general membership is still liable
for the debts of the firm. This sys-
tom made every shareholder, respon-
sible for bad management Of which
he might not be gnilty, and deferred
wealthy men from becoming inter-
estcd in shares of corporations. 10
remove this objection the principle
of limited was introduccdtand, in or
der to notify the public that only
the separate property Of the corpor-
alton was liable for the debts of the
corporation, the English law requires
that the word ,limitcd" shall be
used in every case by the company.
Most American corporations are con-
stitutcd on the principle of limited
liability, but few, if any of the States
cnjoin the companies to append the
word limited to their corparatc title.
The matter is so generally under
stood IN this Country, however, that
it is not necessary. The most note
worth" exception to the general rule
is the case Of the national bank and
even i'll this tmceliability is limit
cd to al amount equal to the par
value Of the shares. That is, if the
national bank fails, each stockholder
may not only loose what he has in
vested, but 800 more for each share
Of stock he holds, ii SO much is nec-
essary to pay the debts of the bank.
Until within few years all the
Scottish banks were organized with
unlimited liability, and when, eight
or ten years ago, Glasgow bank
failed disastrously, there were cases
of men who only owned a share or
two, valued before the failure at not
much more than 800 each, whowerc
assessed thousands Of pounds sterl-
ing to meet the debts of the bank.
Since that time the Scottish banks
have been allowed to rcorgnize on a
limited liability basis.

purity and prosperity Of rural homes.
To this end cultivate content with

with elements of permanent pros
perity, diversity products, magnify
grain and minify cotton, grow
grapes, breed bees, plant orchards
and vineyards, make meadows, raise

for that last spark Of sclf-rcspcct is
