4 Clown Goat,

Richmond, Me, is the home of clown goat which is a source of amuse- ment all along the Kcnncbec. He is a pet among the steamboat men and regular visitor at the wharf when steamers arrive or depart. One day last week Billy's owner missed him, but two days aiterward, when the steamer Kennebec arrived, the goat walked calmly down the gangplank, dressed in pair of old trousers, swal- lowtail coat and q stovepipe hat. He .Gl been in Boston with his friends, the deck hands, and came home with an increased dignity of bearing naturally consequent upon visit to that learned town. When lady in the waiting room pettcd him the goat whipped her veil from her face and swallowed it in twinkling. Then he went home in his new togs, which he has probably since eaten.

He left behind him six thousand different com positions, which Schlegel says are su- Prrior in invention and the true poetic spirit even to the works of Chaucer. His irrcproachable life and cheerful and amiable character have caused him to be remembered through all ages as Honest Hans Sachs.

NOSE AND EAR PIERCING.
Odd Ornaments Worn by the Savag,
 Races.

Odd Ornaments Worn by the Savage
 Races.
 The ornaments put through the walls of the nose vary greatly. There may be but operforation in each wall or there may be several. In New Zeal and flowers, in New Guinea a boar's tusk, in the Solomon islands crabs claw, in New Britain thorns, set up. right, are the objects thus worn. These are all original and primitive; after the natives come in contact with whites, these give place to metal buttons and rings. In the Sturgis collection is a rather pretty nose-ornament from New Guinea. It is V-shaped, and the arms fit by stud-shanks, one into each wall of the nose.
 Nose ornaments were known to tho Jewess of the exile Ezekiel, xvi, l2: And l will put jewel on thy nose;" and Isaiah iii, 21: "The rings and nose Jewels The checks are pierced by some Eskimos, who wear little rounts stud buttons in the holes. Ears are pierced the world over. A few cases must suffice. Schweinfurth says that Babucker women pierce the rim of the ears repeatedly and wear therein bits of straw an inch in length, having twenty such, perhaps, in each year. This re- peated piercing of the ear is common among barbarous people, and we have seen a woman of the Sac and Fox h. dians who wore seven brass rings in one ear. Ears may be slit and stretched instead of pierced. They then hang in long loops. Catlin gives a picture of an Indian whose beauty had been increased in this way. The Anchoritc islander sits his ears while the Fij.an often has them slit and stretched to such an extent that the two fists might be placed in the open ings. Slit ears may be of practical use The Kaffir carries his snuff-box in his car-hola, and Captain Cook fig ures a Maagaia islander who carried a large knife in his right ear.-Prof. Frederick Starr, in Popular Science Monthly.

HISTORIAN MACAUlAY.

 His Mental Gifts.


 His Mental Gifts.
 Although not an athlete, Macaulay was active and high spirited. He used to amuse himself at Cambridge and probably in later years with such sports as horn blowing until his neighbors wished him far enough away. He was a good walker, and that, if it can be dignitied by so pretentious name, was his only bodily accomplishment. Ride he never could, and when, as cabinet minister in attendance on the queen, he was informed that a horse was at his disposal, he replied that if he were to ride it must be on an elephant. In per son he was not prcpossessing, says the Gcutlcman's Magazine. Mrs. Beecher Stowe, in Sunny Memories of Foreign LandS,' describes him as short, stout and commonplace-indeed, thoroughly English, to quote her uncomplimentary language. Fat and rather ungainly, with a comtenance that in repose was ,ingularly wanting in-animation and intellect, he might have been mistaken for an unlettered farmer; indeed, he was actually taken for cholera doctOr-SO. at least, Mir. Greviile in- forms us, with exquisite good taste and very scaut courtesy to the fol lowers of Galen. That very accom- p.tshed gossip describes with some numor his first interview with Mae aulay and his constcrnation when he discovered that the fat, silent man at his side who had been so busily ab- ,orbcd getting through his dinner, was the famous Thomas BabingtOno Mac aulay. The model in Mime. Tussaud's gallery is faithful enough, and it is Tn no sense that of an imposing or par ticularly handsome man. He dressed cNpcnsively but with want of taste, and he looked more like a good-humored, country-bred tradesmen of slender parts than a brilliant wit, distinguished statesman and irrepressible talker. Talking, when he was in humor, was his delight. He would talk for hours, no matter who was present, and he rarely gave his hearers those brilliant occasional flashes of silence, as Sydney smith humorously and felicitously called .hem

THE CITY'S BANKERS
Our Solid Financial Institutions, with
Sketches Of the Men who Conduct
the Business.
FIRST NATIONAL. BANK.

Numbered among the solid financial
institutions of the state is the First
National Bank of Mineral Point, oc-
cupying a building in the very business
portion of the city on the North side
Of High street, next door to the post
office. This bank was established May
"a, 1884, being the successor of the
City Bank, which had been in exist
ence for the ten years previous.
The First National was organized
with a capital stock of $4,000, which
was increased Jan. /, 1889, to 100000.
AS an evidence of the prosperity and
stability Of this bank it is but
necessary to say that they have at
present a surplus of $4,000, and
have declared dividends every year
from its organization. From the hour
its doors were thrown open for
business it has ever commanded the
confidence Of the people. Its deposit
ors come from all ranks. The wealthy
corporation and the frugal artisan
alike entrust their funds to its care.
They know the men at the helm-of
what stuff they are made-and feel
that their affairs are safe in such keep
ing. The vaults Of the First National
are Of the most approved pattern,
with all modern improvements. Into
them the burglar or fire liend could
never hope to enter The business of
the bank is conducted in a conserv-
alive manner, commanding the con-
lidenCe Of much wider circle than
the immediate vicinity. The bank
and its individual members have
always been identified with the
interests of the city and careful of
the general good. Their investments
are all first class and profitable. The
honored head of the bank is the Hon.
John II. Vivian, M. d., an old and
esteemed resident Of this city. Mr.,
Vivian is a native of county of Corn
wall, England, and was born July q,
1925. Dr. Vivian was educated in
England, and studied medicine there.
He came to this country in 1917,
coming direct to Mineral Point, where
he hung out his single and com
menced the practice Of his profession.
He has continued to reside here from
that time engaged in the practice of
and is now the oldest
physician in the state.
During the late war DR.. Vivian was
appointed surgeon Of the board Of

enrolment Of the third congressional
district, and his ability and fitness in
this position, resulted in his being
commissioned surgeon of the 5Oth
Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. He
has been honored by his townspeople,
who have twice called him to fill the
chair Of mayor of Mineral Point, a
position he filled acceptably to his con
sttuents and with honor to himself.
He has also given his time freely when
called upon, and has for several terms
filled position on the county board,
The prefix, honorable, to his name
is earned by two terms in the Wis
consin state Legislature, During his
terms as assemblyman DR.. Vivian
held positions on many important
committees, in all of which he dis
played his ability to handle subjects
of state with that clearness and pre-
Cision that marks his conduct of
minor matters. DR.. Vivian has also
been member Of the State Board of
Charities, and has filled creditably
many other appointments. Iowa
Lodge, No. |, |. 0. Q. f., the oldest
lodge in the northwest, claims him as
a member. DR.. Vivian, as president
of this bank, or rs physician, legislator,
mayor or private citizen has always
commanded to the fullest sense the
esteem and confidence of all. The
name of Hon. John II. Vivian adds
strength to this leading financial
institution.
The cashier of this bank is Phil,
Allen, Jr., who succeeded w, n.
Jones, now vice president of the bank,
January l., 1887, and has held that
position ever since Mr.. Allen was
born in Mineral Point Aug. %, 1917,
He received his education here, which
he supplemented with full course
at Bryant X STATIONS Commercial
College, Chicago. Mr. Aliens first
business venture was in company
with +. Allen 4 Co., GroCers, with
whom he was associated for about
ten years In 1874 Mr.. Allen was
appointed postmaster at this place, a
position he continued to hold for a
period of twelve years. On leaving
the postotlice he removed to Kansas
City, Mo. and engaged in the com
mission business, from which he was
called to accept the position of cash.

position he is by reason of his nat
ural abilities especially well fitted.
He is q stock holder in the Mineral

and makes speciality of farm loans,
also loans on city property, The
bank is situated in the Masonic block
on the south side of High street, OPP
posite the city hall building. The
office is nicely furnished and is pro-
vided with the finest of safes at whose
contents fire and burglars cannot come.
In connection with their banking
business they are the poSsessors of
the only set Of abstracts of title in
the county, and do a large business
in conyeyancing The value Of the
abstract business and its Importance
to real estate holders is manifest
The abstracting of titles is an indis-
pensable and very important part of all
real estate transactions, and one that
requires the closest watchfulness and
care. The firm possesses unusually facil-
tiles for placing loans in any amount.
In addition to the banking and alb
stract business they are also agents for
many of the leading fire insurance
companies; principal among which are
the Phoenix, of Brooklyn, n. Y, and
the Queen, of Liverpool, England.
From the above it will be seen that
the banking firm Of James Hutchinson
Il Sons is a very strong one, and one
whose operations, covering as they do
such an extended field, necessarily
makes them one of the very prominent
houses in this end of the state. They
have ample resources from which to
draw, the principal ones being extern
sive holdings of valuable lands in this
city and vicinity, together with valu-
able farm lands in the various sur
rounding counties. Hutchinson senior
owns and conducts a fine farm of 100
acres Just south of the city.
James Hutchison, ST., the head Of
the banking firm. was born in Newton
Stewart, County Tyrone, Ireland, Mar,
/, 1919. He received good common
school education, and after closing his
studies worked on his fathers farm
He came to this country in 1910, COM
ing direct to Iowa county, where he
engaged in mining for six years. In
1916 moved to the Lake superior cop
per mines, where he lost an eye and
his right arm by the accidental dis
charge of a blast Recovering from
his injuries he returned to lIineral
Point, and with characteristic energy
began to learn TO write with his left
hand. He was elected corporation
clerk in lS47 for one year, and the
autumn of the year following was
elected clerk Of the circuit court, as an
independent, an office he held for eight
successive years. In 1857 his health
demanded change, and he moved to
his farm, on which ne remained until

1862, when he rented his farm and en-
gagged in grain and stock trade for two
years, which he relinquished in 1864
and engaged in the lumber trade-a
business he conducted until 1890, when
he retired from active business. Mr..
Hutchinson was elected mayor Of this
city in 1869, and again in 1873. He is
a republican in politics and a consis-
tent member of the Methodist Episco-
pal church. Mr. Hutchinson is highly
esteemed in this city and through all
the northwest as man of rare bust
ness qualifications and of answering
honesty and integrity.
James W, who with his brother
Elmer Y. comprise the members of
this firm, was born in this city, June
II, 1858, and is therefore in the full
vigor Of manhood. James w. received
his education as pupil of the public
schools. After leaving school he learned
the trade of marble cutter, a trade he
followed for period of six years, which
he relinquished to accept the position of
teller in Henry's bank; which position
he held for a period of eight years,
leaving that bank at its final dissolu-
ton, to embark in the banking bust
ness for himself under the firm name
now under review. James w. is a
thorough BUSINESS man, and is possess
sed Of many qualities which render
him a companionable man and good
citizen. He is highly regarded in this
city and commands the esteem and
confidence of the financial world.
Gilmore Y. Hutchinson, one of the
members of this banking firm, was
also born in this city, first seeing the
light April 9, 1855. His boyhood was
spent IN this city, where he received a
good education. Gilmore Us first
knowledge of practical business came
while he was bookkeeper for his father,
who at that time was in the lumber
business. He remained in this capa-
city for a period Of Is years, reln-
gushing it to accept the position of
assistant general agent for the McCor-
mick harvesting machine. He remain
ed in this business several years; after
wards going to Iowa, where he pur-

Hutchinson is pleasant and affable
gentleman and is recognized as
sound, safe business man and com
mands to the utmost the respect and
esteem of all who know him. Such is
in brief a sketch of the, three trusty
names upon whom rest the affairs of
the popular banking house of James
Hutchinson & Sons, a business which is
regarded as one of the solid an safe
financial concerns in the northwest.

JAMES HUTCHINSON g. SONS.

A description Of the city Of Mineral
Point would be far from complete did
it not contain extended reference to
the banking house of James Hutchinson
q Sons. The family have been for
many years part of the financial
story of the community. The senior
Hutchinson is man of wealth and
probity, and was interested in many
of the enterprises that gave strength
to the early history of this city, For
the past ten years he has lived retired
from business in this community in
which his busy life has been spent.
The bank of James Hutchinson &
Sons was organized and opened for
business in November 1885, and from
the hour its doors were opened the
house has commanded the entire con-
tidence of the community for com
mercial integrity and business court
esy. Under the operation of the bank
ing laws, private banks have some
advantages over state or national ones
in commercial strength. There is no
as to liability. Whatever
of fortune or credit the members
possess forms part of the assets. And
so it is that the name and purse of
James Hutchison and sons have been
levers of strength in controlling the
finance of the community. This bank
