Outstanding Books.
The depositors' committee of the defunct
Lawrence Bank made visit yesterday after.

to learn when a dividend would be ready. They
were informed that there were about 400 de-
post books still out and that the best policy
would be to get the greater number of these
in before declaring dividend. To this end the
members of the committee will be presented
with list of the outstanding books in a few
days. and have consented to endeavor to collect
them from the depositors. The committee
were told that there is already sufficient money
to make a payment of from 10 to Is per cent,
and that the money which is in receives per
cent interest; yet the hest course would be to
await the return of the books.

day, on the charge of cruelty to a horse,
preferred by Assistant Agent Bergman, of the

end its life in as much comfort as possible.
Agent Bergman thinks instant death would

They'll Try It Over Az ain.

Tho small boy tackles tobacco first
In solitude back Of the barn,
Until his head Is ready to burst.
His brain like ball of yarn;
His stomach rolls and his eyes are red,
But spite Of his woe and pain,
Hos pretty certain, if not quite dead,
10 try it over again.
A man will tackle John Barlcycosn
In every possible way.
His head may feel when he wakes at morn
AS big as load Of hay;
His nerves may shake and his eyes lose
sight,
And fog surround his brain.
1.-The hair Of dog will cure its bite"
He says-and tries it again.
A girl will fasten her corset string
To the door-knob, and then brace
And pull till she gets the proper thing,
In Q form Of ''slender grace;"
Her ribs may lap and her spine may snap,
And she may faint from the pain,
But just as sure as she lives it through,
That girl will try it again.
But if saving wood made that boy sick,
He'd never try it again;
If churches filled mems hats with brick,
They'd never go there again;
If fashion said q girl was goose
To lace, shc wouldn't again.
There's moral somewhere around here
loose,
Perhaps you'll find it again.

Wicked Choirh

Is it not about time for a general up
rising and protest against the choir
members who talk during prayer in
church? asks the Pittsburgh Christian
advocate. Some OF them seem TO be
so thoroughly filled with the idea OF
the Importance OF their singing that
they violate every rule in the un written
law OF reverence. The preacher does
mot produce his notes for study nor
keep mumbling over the outline OF his
sermon in an audible tone OF voice
while tho anthem is being sung
Neither should the choir be preparing
for voluntary or hymn while other
parts OF the service are being observed.
Just as the preacher has his sermon
ready when he comes to church. SO
should the singers be ready W it'll their
parts when they come. II they cam
not be prepared before the service is
commenced. let them keep quiet. Bet
ter not have any choir singing than
TO have it q cause OF irreverence IL

against the sin begin at once.

Tho Vanderbilt Nilliou,.

The care Of the Vanderbilt million0
is far greater burden than most
people imagine. There are not many
citizens in our country who require q
great bank of their own in which to
transact their business and deposit
their securities. One of the largest
banking buildings in the country is
the Lincoln National Bank. at Fifth
avenue and Forty-second street. This
belongs to tho Vanderbilts. 1t holds
millions OF money and many more
millions OF securities which represent
their wealth. After the elder Wander
bilt died. and his property had to be
distributed among his children. it was
no small task to so over the vast
number of stocks and bonds he left.
and divide them up according to the
provisions OF the will. Nor was it a
small matter to distribute the ready
| money that was in the bank. This
bank and its operators seem like q
romance OF our rapid civilization. In
sentimental features nothing in Europe
can compare with it. In no country
on earth except this could such an in.

ditiona In NO other land could 1

was softly closed and fastened with u

ance that even members OF their own
family cannot tell Martha from Mary.
excepting by small mole under
Mary's right ear. They are pretty
and winning, and have plenty of ad.
mirers. For several months past
Mary's accepted lover has been
young blacksmith named Rogers, and
last Sunday evening he made up his
mind to learn for a certainty whether
she would marry him. When he ar
rived at the house Mary was out and
Martha received him cordially, ex-
pecting to entertain him until her sis
ter's return. Rogers supposed she
was his adored one, and at once
broached the subject nearest his heart
He found her a little more reserved
than usual. he thought. and her hest
tation made him all the more persua-
sive. At length she accepted him just
as Mary came into the parlor and
turned up the light. Rogers then dis
covered that he had proposed to the
wrong girl. He made profuse apolo-
gies, and the sisters KEEP: him in hot
water for an hour Then Martha re-
leased him from the engagement and
left him to finish out the evening with
his ''speckled beauty" It was too
good a joke for Martha to keep. and
she whispered it to one or two Of
Rogers friends the next day.
