They Give the Deposition Very
Slight Evidence of their Debt to
Him.
ibid you ever give any particular
thought to how insignificant and in
formal is the evidence of debt which a
bank gives its regular depositors in re-
turn for the large sums of money the
depositors leave with themw asked the
head of a big mercantile house, as he
glanced at the entry just made in the
firms bank book which clerk had re-
turned with, says the Chicago Tribune.
"For the s., orb in gold and currency,
to say nothing of the S5,263.20 in drafts
and silver, which we lett with the bank
just now all we get in return were six
figures and the dates; no promise to
pav-not even |. o. U. from the bank.
Where in any other department or
any other circumstances of mercantile
life can one find this eQualed? Posi-
lively nowhere else! In many respects
| consider this feature one of the seven
wonders known of in connection with
no other period of the world, so far as l
know.
''Some day we will hear of gigantic
fraud of some sort or other, as the re-
suit of the present deposit DOCK system.
Already many small ones have hap
pened, but have been hushedup by the
banks. 1t is a generally accepted fact
in banking and mercantile circles that
this is the one weakest spot in the bus
mess doing of today. Think of it a
minute. No cOntract-nOt the touch of
the pen nor a line of printed matter ac-
knowledging obligation on the part of
the banks in return for the millions of
money daily received by them from de-
positOrs! 1t is certainly remarkable
ching, and one which should be changed

ALWAYS DYING,
But He Lived to Bury Ten of His
Doctors, All the Same.

But He Lived to Bury Ten of His
Doctors, All the Same.
There died down in the Neosho valley
not long ago a man known for miles and
miles around as Old Joe Kimpton. Old
Joe came to Kansas in 1856. He brought
weak lungs with him from the
lager" swampS of Indiana, but
he plugged along and was aillng
off and on for number of years, when
he was took down" with lung fever.
says the Kansas City Journal. 1t went
into quick consumption, and one of his
lungs was gone before he knew it. The
doctors gave him up and didn't think
he could live through the winter. But
he just plugged along and allowed he'd
pull through somehow.
The children were little tots then, and
Joe bought a bunch of calves that
spring and said he guessed he'd have
them anyhow for the children to go TO
school on. The doctors told him he
couldn't possibly get through the next
winter. and he made his will. He hung
around the house and cOnghed most of
the time. and the children helped him
about the chores in the cold weather.
He had his spells and everybody
thought he would die. but Joe he just
plugged along and allowed he'd pull
through somehow.
The next year and the next and the
next he bought calves and steers. and
pulled through somehow. Summer
afternoons he used to sit in front of the
long. low farm house, built of addition
onto addition, thinking and coughing
absent-mindedly. He was Democrat,
and his chief dissipation was his at
tendance on the county convention
every year and the state conventions
when they came. He got to be known
as large cattle buyer; and the stran-
gers who saw him would look and
wonder which undertaken would get
him.
But old Joe used to take a grim delight
in counting up the doctors who had
given him up, and who had since died
of natural causes themselves. Every
winter he would have his spells, and
every winter he would tell the doc
tors between his coughs that he
would just plug along and pull
through somehow. He had at
tended the funerals of ten doctors
whose bills he had paid for pronouncing
him beyond hope and for tiptOeing into
the room to tell him they feared the
worst. He had bad spell last winter.
They said it was the grip combined
with the old cough, but old Joe Kimpton
didn't say anything, though he took
their medicine with the old re-
proachfuI look, as if to say the old
words. Old Joe was getting along
in years when he died. He was sixty
two. and most of the time enduring con-
slant physical suffering. Yet he seldom
complained. All over Lyon county and
Morris county. where the old man was
known and liked, he will be missed.
His peculiar case may pass into tradi-
ton, and child stories may grow from it
about kind, grim old man who couldn't
die

May an Important Month in
Speculation = On the
Wrong Track.

The month of May is one of great i'm
portance in Wall street. 1t generally
witnesses boom in stocks. 1t termi-
mates the activity in the market until
the fall movement sets in. For full
four months after ward, except under
unusual circumstances, speculation is
restricted, though never stopped, says
the New York Recorder. The absence
of the large operators in Europe and at
the summer resorts leaves the situation
in the hands of the ''small fry" who in
the parlance of the street are content
with quarters" and 'eighths" is.
with profits of one-quarter or One-eighth
OF l per cent.
1t has not always been the case that
May was "bull mcnth." No one in
Wall street will ever forget the terrible
May panic of 1884. House after house
was wrecked, and fortune after fortune
was lost. 1t was nearly as bad as the
famous "'73 panic"
Some of the greatest fnanciers came
near being dragged down, Jay Gould
among the number. The story of Mr..
Gould's close call has never been told.
He was loaded with long stocks and
was borrower of money to the extent
of millions. When the enormous de-
cline in values occurred, he was called
upon for additional collateral on the
loans that he bad obtained. He was
obliged to comply or else pay off his
loans. He had no more stocks or bonds
to pledge, and he could not borrow
from the banks, trust companies or
other lenders of money.
The idea of an assignment was con-
sidered by Mr.Gould. Had it been car
ried out disaster would have extended
from one end of the country to the
other.

AN ORLEANS SNOW STORM.
An Astonishing Event to All tn e
People OF the City.

Mamma, Dod's making popcorn"
piped Bobby's shrill little voice, as he
stood upon his chair at lunch time and
gazed wonderingly through the window
at the snowflakes, says the New Orleans
Times Democrat.
"Lor', de streets look like roads to de
cotton feels in Cahlina," said old black
Mandy.
Then mamma went into the library
and got papa'S microscope, and cook
went out into the back yard and cooled
her black shawl and caught snowtiakes
on it; and, while mamma showed Bobby
the wonderful beauty of snow crystals,
Mandy stood by and grinned.
A fall OF snow in New Orleans is an
astonishing event. Men would scarcely
be more excited if Clay statue were to
evolve into the crater of an eruptive
volcano or the streets be puddled with
drlppingS of Huyler'S cream from the
milky way. That snow is most won
dertul intoXicant cannot be matter of
doubt to any impartial or unprecedented
observer of the antics of Orleanians.
Foremost in the ranks of the snow
drunk was the powerful small boy-the
Bobby of the mansion, the Mickey of
Bank alley. Bobby scraped from bush,
lawn and doorstep sufficient snow to
make his first SNOWFALL. and pelted
Herewith nurse, goodman and cook.
Mickey scrambled with his ragged
fellows for the meager fall of snow upon
the curbstone and pavement, and as he
waited with red. shining nose for the
evening papers, he sent up many
merry shout and SHE'D many WhlZzing
SNOWFALL.
As the fluffy shower began to freckle
the gloomy atmosphere about noon pc
destrians stopped in their mad rush
along the thOrOughfareS to stand Shiv-
ering beneath protecting sheds and gaze
curiOusly at the snow as thing rarely
seen.
Clerks and shop girls thronged to
windows and show cases and fiattened
their noses against the paneS to see the
fiecks; upon st. Charles avenue and
Prytania street one might have thought
from the ladies in sfawls and listers
upon galleries and windows that some
great procession was passing. There
was quite as much enthusiasm, nervous
ness and color. -..
Not few of the schools and academ-
les gave their pupils half holiday,
with instructions to see the snow and
take advantage of the opportunity to
study the phenomena pertaining thereto.
There was not enough snow to cause
any fun about the exchange. Eleven
years ago, when the snow fell fast, the
cotton exchange men were like so many
schoolboyS. They rubbed each others
faces with snow, they had SNOWFALL bat
ties, and the stately and beWhiSkered
cotton king thought nothing of being
shot in the ear with globe of snow
flakes.

ABOUT A SKIRT DANCE.
High Kicking in a Church Enter
tainment Shocks Pastor Rogers

High Kicking in a Church Enter
tainment Shocks Pastor Rogers.
There is we'll developed row in the
fold of the Church of the Messiah, one
of the leading Episcopal congregations
of Detroit. Mich, all because of an ell
tertainment given by the Young Peo-
ple's society in the name of charity,
says the Philadelphia Telegram. The
entertainment was given Wednesday
evenin e in the church parlorS, and
feature of the bill was skirt dance by
Miss Blanch Kern. She was dressed in
the conventional garb made popular by
Lettie Lind and the London Gaiety
company.
Miss Kern is the daughter of one of
the leading families of the city and a
prominent member of the elite society.
Although her performance was modest
and refined, it Jared the moral nerves
of the pastor, Rev. l.. G. Rogers, and
the prudiSh members of the congrega-
ton. The reverend gentleman took
occasion to criticIse the performance as
demOraliZing and immodest, whereupOn
the Young Peoples Society announced
that the performance would be repeated
next Tuesday evening without change
of programme.
The young people insist that as Miss
Kern does all the high kicking with her
back to the audience, her performance
modest to fault; but Rev. Mr.. Rog-
ers remains firm, and declares that he
will not occupy his pulpit Sunday un-
less the young people change their
minds and leave the skirt dance off their
programme. The vestry is about
equally divided OH the matter, but the
oldest members side with the young
people. and are loud in their demands
for a repetition of the performance,
skirt dance and all.

Such Very Poor Penmen.
"Why do physicians write their pre-
scriptions so illegibly?" a downtown
druggist was asked the other day. says
the Chicago Tribune.
"Give it up" he answered. "Affecta-
ton, guess. Think of man writing
such a thing as a prescription care
lessly! Why, human lives depend on
it. and yet-come back here: l'll show
you some samples"
Prescriptions written by number of
popular physicians were shown. An
inexperienced eye could unravel moth

wondered how the storekeeper had been
enabled to translate things.
"There is no reason for such writ

tenths of it is careleSSneSS or affec-
tation. We have to watch these pre-
scriptions constantly as to quantity OF
ingredients in order to see if we have
deciphered the preseripti ons properly,
or if the doctor has made mistake. L
have detected several errors Oh the part
of physicians.
siOf course, / didn't send the prescrip-

quantity. Any of the clerks in this
store know more about drugs and chem

Why, do you know, rather than take
any risk we refused to put up the pre-
scriptions of largely patronized ply

was so iIlegibIe. 1t was abominable.
The only part we could read was the
letter-head.
"a certain West side druggist, who is
now dead, had a brother who is yet
practicing as medic with an office
over the store. The brother was consid-
cred an excellent physician, and had an
extensive practice that took him to
all parts of the city. His prescrip-
lions were presented at many drug
stores. but not one of them could be
deciphered. There was only one place
in town where they could be translated
at the brothers drug stOre-and they
always landed there. 1t was great

chamber of deputies, which resulted in
her being forcibly elected from
the Palais Bourbon by the police.
1t was shortly after this that
she took up her abode with the
republican politician ROuvier, living
openly with him as his mistress. In
1873 the death of her husband. the En-
Able Constant, enabled her to legallZe
by a tardy marriage her relations with
NJ. Rouvier. Five years ago the latter
became prime minister of France, ana
