A Juvenile Quarrel

Willie Henderson is accused of having

young Henderson, no is the son of the

an error, for numb OF persons who
witnessed the fight say it was provoked
by the Young boz, and that Henderson

The Site of the Bank of England Worth
that Amount.

The site of the Bank OF England
bears an estimated annual value OF
10000. This sum, capitalized at per
cent, would represent gross value of
f2,100,000. Estimating the buildings,
vaults, printing and weighing ma
chimes, etc, at f400, 900 more, it will be
seen that the plant" Of the bank must
be worth over s12.000,000 Add to this
the average amount of bullion, coin, Sc
curities, and unissued notes usually
held, and you have the gigantic sum
of f120, 000,o 900 sterling, or 5000 900. 900. all
heaped on a space Of less than four
acres. Nowhere else in the world is
there such an aggregation Of actual
and potential wealth within so small
an area. In its early days the bank
employed flfty-four clerks, and the
yearly salary list amounted to $4,000,
the chief accountant and the secretary
receiving ESQ each. At the present
time the total number of employees is
about 1900, the salaries and wages
amounting to over 100000 per year,
and the pensions to nearly ESQ. 900. The
present price Of Bank Of England f100
shares is 1882, making the capital of
f14,55S.0o0 worth 4s,315960, or about
$40 000. 900. The usual dividend dis
tributed is equal to 10 per cent on the
original capital. The solidity Of the
bank is thus shown to be, In the opin-
Ion OF investors, equal to that of the
British government, as the yield on
bank shares at the enhanced price and

about an hour when one of the young
fellows discovered that owing to his

seen another deck on the mantelpiece,
procured 1t and started to deal. Five
hands were thrown around and the
betting began. They all stayed. The
first man bet the limit and was raised
The next man squeezed his hand few
seconds and raised again. So it went

kept on betting and several crisp
greenbacks were put in the pot. When
the showdown came a riot was mar

and a king, while the man next to him
held four kings and an ace. Another
threw down four jacks against fourth
hand, which contained three queens
and a pair of kings. The fifth man
wasn't in it at all, for he only held
three tens and small pair. The old
