THE WOR ST YET

A Rate of Interest that Puts in the
Shade the Days of 40.
An employe at the railroad shops a year
ago got hard up and wanted three dollars.
Evidently he wanted it very bad He went
to man who followed the business of
lending money, and the latter let him have
that sum on promissory note. That was
all right, of course, but now comes in the
little joker. The note required that the
three dollars should bear interest at the
rate OF ten per cent. per month compounded
monthly, if not paid
year has passed by, and the borrower
having failed to take up the note, or pay
anything on it, finds himself confronted
with summons 10 appear in Court and
show cause why judgment should not be
taken against him for the sum of $40 40,
together with the costs of suit, which will
probably be fully as much more.
II the victim had borrowed 500, instead
OF the tritiing sum of So, at that outrageous
rate OF interest, he would be in a nice boat
about this time

The "Druni<sr Tell Judge Buckley How

posite their names on the Court calendar.
But Judge Buckley was not satisfied with
these general admIssions-he wanted more
details. What have you got to say about
this matter ?" he inquired of John McMan-
nus, who headed the line of inebriates.

The next in line was Pat McMullen. He
is one-legged "old-timer," and he ex.
planned that be came in town from his
suburban residence up the river, to visit
his soa-in-law. He was so overioyed by

from the north to south, with several quite
heavy shocks.
Professor Hugh D. Vail reports as fol-
lows from Santa Barbara It will surprise
many to learn that the highest temperature
was 1919. This no doubt is due to the
| scorching northeast wind bringing down the
heat from the burning forests. The mean

dozen or more of his companions dove for
him for nearly an hour, but without locat-

Among the interested spectators at the Pres

last week was Sir Knight McCammon, of Dub

contrast White House reception with SINH

| specimen of manhood, and had whole jewelry
store of medals and decorations upon his broad
breast. He chatted with the Members of the
Cabinet and their wives until he lad exhausted
almost every taxable question under the sun.
Last Summer everybody was sure that ex-
Secretary Bayard was engaged to Miss Clymer.
The two were seen constantly together and
