STOCKHOLDERS TO MEET
Future of the Changers Bank
to Be Decided Next
Tuesday.
How to Pay the Depositors the Main
QueStion-Half Enough Money on
Hand Now.

The stockholders of the Changers Bank
will hold their annual meeting on Tues
day to take final action about setting the
affairs of the institution. There was held
yesterday meeting of the directors, with
all the members present, to talk over their
report to be made to the shareholders.
There is cash on hand in the bank 100000,
of which $4,000 has been collected since
the suspension.
The directors say that they expect to
have $4,000 by Tuesday and to be pre-
pared to pay off at least one-half the
amount due depositors, which is about
$4,000 1t is expected that arrange
ments will be made soon, probably
within a month, to pay off the whole
amount owed depositors by securing adj
vances on securities from some of the
wealthy shareholders.
The securities have been examined into
a second time by the Bank Commits
SiOners.
Mr.. La Rue in speaking of the securi-
ties said:
Daniel Meyer, Mr.. HelIman and others
know the value of our securities. The
Bank Commissioners are thoroughly ia
mlliar with the worth of the notes and
mortgages we hold. The stockholders
may 4oSe p-OO,OUO or perhaps SZoU,OOO, but
no depositor will lose a cent
After the Bank Commissioners made
their first statement 1 feared that Mr.
Montpelller's enthusiasm had induced
him to place higher value on our securi-
ties than the market warranted and so
asked the Commissioners to go over the
list again and strike off everything
doubtful. This was done and we
know exactly now on what we can
count. But it is difficult to raise
money on the best of mortgages and con-
tracts. For example, Mr.. McNear pur-
chased from US a line of warehouses for
500, 900 to be paid for in six years in annual
installments of $4,000. On this account
we have $4,000 due the bank. A line of
warehouses was sold to another party for
$40 900 on the same terms and on that &C
count the sum of $4,000 will come in.
These contracts are gilt edged, but we can
not raise money on them"

THE DONALD SBRIES-NO. XI.
FOR TINY BOYS.

FOR TINY BOYS.
When the blue ewes opened in the morn
ing there were no sunbeams dancing
around the nursery, but the room was real
SHADY as Donald said. When he heard
the tinkie, tinkle of the tiny raindrops
against the tin water-spout he sat up in
bed crying sob dear, it's raining. can't
have any fun to-day"
Lets you and mother try if we cannot
have real happy time all day" said
mamma as she lifted him from his little
bed to get him ready for breakfast.
Donald did have merry, happy, busy
time that day and at night Just before he
went TO sunderland he said: Mamma,
hope all the tiny boys had as much fun as
| had today
So after the dear little fellow was fast
asleep mamma wrote out a programme of
Just how the tiny boy spent the day.
First-He looked out of the window.
Watched the raindrops falling into the
gutter, forming bubbles which he played
we're ships as they sailed away so grace
fully. When two bumped together he
said the ships had collision and an ex-
Dlosion.
Second-Watched the poor horses driven
SO fast over the slippery street that three
or four OF them fell down, Was not bit
sorry for the men who had to get out and
cut their harness and push back the shafts
to allow them to get up again.
Third-Saw the little children going to
school, wrapped in all sorts OF funny
cloaks and waterproofs to keep them dry
Saw some roor little ones with nothing TO
protect them from the rain but very thin,
old clothes.
Fourth-Mamma and he chose horses
by colors, he choosing all the white horses
that passed by and mamma the brown
ones.
Fifth-Had on his rubber boots, warm
cap and great coat. Went out in the rain
for half an hour. The only place the rain
drops could touch him was on his chubby
face
Donald laughed with joyous glee as the
water trickled down his rosy cheeks.
Sixth-Had hearty lunch, and then
cut all sorts of pictures from pile of old
papers.
Seyenth-Went into the kitchen; sat in

(enough), or cynical to imagine it might
or might not mean.
And If you could have seen those modern
schoolboys creeping, like snails, unwill-
ingly to sch ool!'
Have you seen the football games and a
college rush?
Oh, well, those things were slow by COM
parison.
That is. so far as eager anticipation and
downright happiness were concerned.
The thing had to be done with dignity, of
course, but bright eyes and rosy cheeks be-
trayed even some of the sedate seniors,
and the fine swing of the happy young
legs that were going back to school was
not at all creeping, like snails."
L was just going to say, when inter-
rupted myself, that after all neither
Shakespeare nor the boys are to be won
dered at.
The change isn't so much in the young
folks-lts in the schools. If you don't be-
leve, read what Charles Dickens has said
about school life in England long ago.
And If that isn't enough, ask your grand
father about the schools OF his cnildh hood
ana he will be pretty sure to tell you that
there was rather more fogging than any
thing else.
Your uncles had better time, but even
they Will be pretty sure to tell you that
things are pleasanter now-and they will

a Sleeping Christian.

We have read a grim story in
which Satan is said to have sent
some Of his ninions from the
bottomless pit for the purpose of
doing all the harm they could.
On their return one of them re
ported that he had overtaken q
company of Christians i'll storm
and destroyed them by sinking
their vessel. you did no harm,
said Satan, "for they all went
straight to heaven" Another
had set fire to property and de-
stroyed much wealth that be-
Ionged to Christians. "You may
have done no har1n,' continued
Satan, "for their losses make
them all the more determined to
fight against us Finally, one
reported that he had succeeded
in putting to sleep large mum ,
Der of Christians. Then Satan
smiled, and all the host of devils
shouted their approval. The le-
gend has in it the awful truth
that nothing can do the cause of
Christ more harm than for his
people to go to sleep.-GOspck.
