Another Large English Failure.

LONDON, April 12.-The English, Scot
tish & Australian chartered bank has
failed, with liabilities amounting, it is
said, to ss,o0o,o 600, or $4,000, 600. No
estimates of the assets has as yet been
made, but they are supposed to be large.
The bank was. incorporated by royal
charter in 1852, and claimed to have a
paid-up capital Of esO0. 900 and reserve
fund of 100000. It transacted bank
ing and exchange business between
Great Britain and the Australian colo
nies, and had large deposits. The only
reason given for the failure is that there
has been for several weeks steadily
increasing withdrawal of deposits.

The card belonged to collection of
such curios and number of autographs
in the possession of the late George w.
Baker, Of Chicago. The authenticity of
the card cannot be doubted as Mr.
Baker treasured it for years among his
collection and frequently exhibited it,
though he left no written document of
how it came into his possession It is
known, however, from what Mr.. Baker
had said about it, that the card was one
of q lot Mr.. Lincoln had printed and
used after his return from the congress
to which he was elected in 1916 over
Rev. Peter Cartwright. 80
Mr.. Lincoln was not a candidate for
reelection, and the Discrimination to be
candidate is well conveyed in his ''to-
whom it may concern wherein, as
well, he expresses his satisfaction at
being at home again with the hope of
securing more congenial work than had
been incumbent upon him in the dis
charge of his duties in congress.
The quaintness of the humor and the
oddity of the address to the public on
the business card are eminently charac-
teristic of Lincoln's originality. There
are expressions, too, in the ito whom it
may concern with which Mr.. Lincoln
familiarized the country afterward.
''Swapping horses" and splitting
rails" which were not enough striking
in 1s4S, or the man using them was not
enough famous to cause anyone to per-
petrate joke on him in manufacturing
such business card for a. Lincoln
The work was Lincoln's. The card
bears the impress of the man rs much
as it does his name.

Too Mean TO rse saved.

\ big bear chased Peter Hanes, man
of sixty years, through the woods in
Clarke county, Washington, the other
day and was close at his coat tails when
he ran into the clearing of neighbor
named Mccoy. AS both neared the
house the door opened and Mrs. Mccoy
appeared with a rifle in her hands,

bowled him over dead. Then the un-
grateful Peter claimed the hide, as the

demand until as a compromise it was
agreed that he and his rescuer divide
