A PREcOcIOuS YOUTH.

One of the saddest incidents con-
nccted with the Baxter Bank failure
was the disclosure of the fact that
little Arthur Warner, aged nine
years. had overdrawn his account
to the extent of $l75. This is the
largest overdraft the receiver has to
contend with. Several up-to.date
business men saw how things were
going and checked out their own
and some of the depositors' money,
but little Arthur made swipe for
about all he thought the institution
could stand at the time.
We have read of instances OF
youthful precocity, but nothing
like this. Lord Macaulay used
words of four syllables at the age
of three; Pope wrote good poetry
at four; Grover Cleveland under.

and Zillar Naylor could repeat the

makes no record Of an overdraft on

And the public has been the great
gamer by the public spiritedness OF
the roads.
One of the most notable cases of
railway development is the Nickel
Plate Road, which seems to have
forged right ahead with its improve
ments and has exhibited an unrelent-
ing determination to give the public
the best possible facilities, in spite OF
the hard times. And how well this
corporation has succeeded in its lauda
BILE efforts, the excellent condition of
its system bears ample evidence. Yet
the secret of this success is obvious:
The people hay e respont ell very gen.
erously to a generous effort to give
them the worth of their money. That
is all. The people money has enabled
the road to better its facilities in every
respect thus the work has been OF a
mutual and reciprocal character. The
liberal patronage accorded the road
has brought handsome return to the
people in the shape of improved facili-
ties for travel, yet at the same time,
at lower rates.

skirt was encircled by two other rows
of insertion, but without the lace

deep points, one up, one down. with
the lower edge again finished with .

JACK THE PEPPER"
Visits wellington sunday Evening-A
Dose of Lead the Proper Thing.

visits wellington sunday Evening-A
Dose of Lead the Proper Thing.
Sunday evening at about 9:30 O'Clock,
three gentlemen left the American
House porch and went for stroll.
Arriving at the home of one of their
number, they sat down in front of the
house to cool off and discuss the pro-
liability, or rather improbability, of
having waterworks in Wellington.
After they had been there few min
utes. .one of them heard a slight noise, ,as
of football, in the rear of the premises,
and the three with throbbing hearts
and whispers of "You go first" and
"What do you suppose it ISL" stole
quietly around the house to reconnoi-
tire. The lady of the house, who sleeps
in n rear room up stairs, had just re-
tired, leaving light burning for her
husband. Reaching the rear of the
house, the trio of brave(?) men Thought
they spied the form OF man vanish
ing in the deep shadows of the trees in
the back yard. Feeling strong in
numbers, they gave chase; but the
evening prowler succeed in making
his escape. Thinking that perhaps the
man had hi d hims, If in dark fence
corner, the al of the house procured a
light and armed with couple of six
shooters and knife with a four inch
blade, the three searched long and care
fully along the fence and among the
dense bushes in the rear of the gar
den. But the search proved fruitless.
The lady of the house being alarmed,
dressed and came out to dis
cover what all the fuss was about.
She informed her husband and his
friends that she had heard the men be-
meath her window for some time, hut
supposing it to be her husband endeav-
oring to frighten her, paid no particu-
lar attention to the sounds. The noe
| turnal visitor, had he been caught,
might, in the excitement ensuing, have
been pumped full of lead and been en-
paled to the fence by the long knife in
the hands of its strong and determined
owner. The prowler, whoever he may
be, is indulging in IA very dangerous
practice. He may continue it for a
time without detection. but sooner or
later he will be caught; and it may
happen when he least expects it. Men
as rule, are very wroth when some
one is found peeping in at the chamber
windows of their wives and daughters,
and sometimes, in an excess of passion
over the discovery, use fellow up in
pretty bad shape. We advise this
might bird" to mind his own business
hereafter and remain at home where
he belongs.
