One way of printing a Paper.

Gen. Joseph s. Smith, of Maine, tells
how he published paper without a press
in Bath, Me, many years ago, says the
New York Tribune. when I'd get my
paper all set up and ready for the press
I'd lay the type on a washstand, get it all
leveled down we'll in the chase, or the
frame in which twas locked up and then
Ia call in the hired girl. She weighed
about two hundred and ten pounds when
she sat down. That's what l wanted-st-
ting-down weight So, after the hired girl
came in linked the type, laid over 1t the
sheet of paper and on top of that the
blanket, and then l politely invited the
hired girl to sit down on the washstand
Two hundred and ten pounds, remember.
The result was just as good an impress
ion as you could get on any 800 hand press
made in the United States. My edition in
those days was about two hundred copies
and the hired girl was good for the job at
one situng-no, at two hundred sittings
And she took an interest in it, too, and was
just as ready for business every publica-
ton day as a $4,000 Hoe perfecting press
would be-"

A Lifelong Humbug.

Il feel that my whole life, my fortune,
my family pride, everything that I pos
sess worth having, have been built up on
false pretences.% The speaker was the
foremost man in the community, and he
was talking with one of his Oldest friends,
says the Detroit Free Press.
You know how my road to prosperity
opened. My parents were gone before l
knew them. My grandfather died when 1
was nine, leaving me TO a family that lost
no opportunity to show how much of
burden 1 was. One day a group of boys
were going down the street; a stone was
thrown, it carromed on the pavement,
went through plateglass window. The
proprietor came out, the other boys ran, 1
confessed to being the guilty party, my
arm was grpped as if in wise, and when
asked why / had not lied, l said grandad
had taught me not to, and, with tears on
my cheeks, was takeu inside. AS we
walked I was offered 81 a week to look
after the shop. A little later in the CONVEX
sation l was to have room off the work
shop, then L was to be boarded, then
clothed and then supplied with books. His
wife drew me to her side, kissed me and
said what a brave, good boy I had been
and what a noble man l would make"
I've heard the story a hundred
times"
so have I, almost every day. For years
that this is my new boy this is my clerk
this is my son-in-law.' My wife made me
a hero, and loved me from the time she
heard the story 1t brought me friends,
credit sound business advice, trade, con-
fidence and wealth. 1t made my children
prouder, happier and better 1t will bear
fruit in their children, for 1t is the family
IDEAL and tradition"
But where do the false pretences come
imp
''Well, I must tell some one. never
threw that stone. never broke that win
dow My tears were not for grandfather,
but were wrung from the grip on my arm.
Like Topsy, l was in a state of mortal eX-
altation, and acknowledged wrong 1
never did. l did wrong through a heroic
determination to always do right. There
has never been time that 1 could con-
fess, and have lived up to my character.
l wouldn't destroy the idol and be humbled
in the dust before my wife and children
for the world. 1 would not pull a moral
prop from under them that may yet stand
for ages. Strange how much of good rests
on a false foundation"
4 wish you had kept your secret"

Lost His Case.

An ambitious young lawyer paid his first
visit to a country court holding its ses-
sions not very far from New Orleans not
long since, says the New Orleans Times
Democrat. He went to represent a big
railroad in a suit brought by a country
man to recover the value of an OK, which
departed his life in a vain attempt to hold
up the limited mail.
The question before the court was one of
identification, and the countryman had
testified that he knew the OK by his color
and the flesh marks.
The young city lawyer rose and with
dignity said: IF your honor please, there
can be no question that this witness has
sworn falsely when he testified that an OK
can be recognized by his color l was a
stenographer before 1 became a lawyer,
and for two days, your honor drawing
out his note book, have taken a detailed
description of every OK that passed the
hotel and 1 am prepared to swear as an
expert that all oxen look alike to me- 1"
You are trihing with the dignity of this
court, SIR sternly said the judge, land
l will fine" Hold on, judge" said
the clerk; there hain't bin but one yoke
of oxen in this town in week. Old man
Henley's been a-haulin' wood, and the law
yer's been counting the same oxen over
and over"
Judgment for plaintiff, said the judge,
and the city lawyer, glad to escape the
wrath of his honor, took his departure, a
sadder but wiser man.

Consolidation of National Banks


The Bankers Monthly for Octo-
Der has an article in the
line of the talk of national
bank consolidation in this city. Controller
Eckels favors consolidation of national
banks where it would be beneficial to the
banks interested and to the community
In which they are located. 1t seems there
is a tendency towards consolidation. 1t
is a well known fact among bankers that
the number of national banks has been
considerably decreased since 1893. Before
that year there was a pretty steady in
crease in their number. On Jan. /, 1898
the number was 3,799; on July %, 1897, it
was 361O, a decrease of 1S9. There has been
a decrease of national banking capital
with the decrease in the number of banks
on Jan. !. 1893, it was $695, 14S, Cos and on
July 27, 1897, it was $685., 15S, O42, a decrease
of $62, 1923.
The decrease In the number of banks
has been brought about by liquidation,
failure and consolidation. Until recently
there were few consultations. Consollda-
ton, however, is growing in favor, es-
the controller of the currency.
On this point the Bankers Monthly says:
THE most notable recent instance of con-
soldation in the east was that of the
National City Bank and the Third Ma
tional Bank of New York. The City Bank
brought into the combination a capital of
81 100000 and deposits on Oct 6, 1896, of
-olat 10 ,,,1~
brought to the combination a capital stock
of 81, 600 and Individual deposits on Oct
c, 1896, of 81, SGT, 206. The most valuable in
stance of consolidation in the west has
been In Kansas City, Mo-, where ten
banks now do the business which eighteen
banks did few years ago. The ten
banks now doing business carried on July
%, 1897, a capital and surplus of S4,67O000,
and deposits of $25,S74O00, as against a
capital and surplus for eighteen banks in
1890 amounting to $11 ,O92 ,OOO and deposits
of 500, 500, OOO."
Two banks in Wellsboro, Pa, CONSOLE
