In one of the old Londln banks a
box was recently found, containing
money and valuablas, which had not
been opened or called for In 100 years,
and which now remains without a
claimant, Incidents of like sort arc not
infrequent in banking history, though
there is no other recorded instance of
a package held In trust remaining so
long unexamined. Some years ago the
Merchants National Bank of Baltimore
discovered a box containing $4,000 in
bonds of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
the ownership of which could not at
first be traced. The coupons for the
preceding fifteen years were still at
the bonds belonged to the Hagerstown
(Md,) Bank, and had been deposited as
collateral. The president of the Hag-
erstown bank died; the cashier was
superseded, and the institution lost all
traces of the transaction. The disap-
pearance of the securities, however, al
ways remained an unpleasant mystery
until it was thus happily cleared up.
In one of the private banking houses of
Frankfort. during the first half of the
century, box containing large sum
in money and securities was deposited
for safe-keeping, and when called for
few days afterward could not be
found. The banker had himself re-
ceived 1t, and, as he supposed, put it in
a place of security. He was so over
come by the occurrence that he went
home and shot himself. The next day
the treasure turned UP. safe and sound,
the receptacle having in moment of
absence of mind been stored away in an
odd corner and overlooked.

FASHION NOTES.



Most of the tailor-made gowns of the
moment fit closely and are much braid
ed Bright colors appear in Innings
and braid and at the edges, and skirts
of such gowns are deliberately braided.
If you were lucky and bought smooth
cloth last season, 1t will be worth your
while to have it made over for an early
spring gown by having it deliberately
braided. This will meet the difficulty
of the expensive cloth gown, which af-
ter being renewed with braid once or
twice at the hem has lost length. Such
a skirt can be vandyked at the edge and
show braided under piece that
matches cuffs, collar and vest.
In the pictured tailor rig the material
was dark green cloth, the skirt being
freely trimmed at the hem with mohair
braid in zigzag pattern. The jacket
bodice was tight fitting at the back,
forming little ripples, but loose in front.
The vest was longer than the jacket
and fastened in the center. The jacket
was slashed at the sides, fastened
across the front with two braided frogs,
and sleeves, and collar were all gar
nished with the braid. In most of the
tight tailor bodiees there is no vest,
and there are so many tight ones that
vests seem to be on the wane, though
they are entirely correct with bodices
that are loose in front.
The young woman whose attire is
strictly tailor made would not think of
appearing at any season without her

IMPORTANCE or A COOP BEGINNING

Just as the twig is bent the trees in
clined, is an old and homely but very
true adage, and this subject very prop
erly engrossed good part Of the atten-
ton of the Congress of Mothers which
held it's sessions in Washington last
week. AS is well understood, in these
days at least, there is a world of wis
dom, if far-reaching beneficent results
are desired, in training the young wise

the young mind is susceptible to good
or evil, pliable, easily guided. The
Mothers Congress dealt primarily with
the duties of mothers in training their
own offspring, and ranged over the diff
ferent aspects of the relation of child
training to modern society. Conditions
prior to birth, physical mental and
moral, We're not dwelt upon extensive
ly, the main heft of the debating and
discussion being confined to the sub
ject of the proper cultivation of the
youthful mind and the proper educa-
ton of mothers for their own material
and moral duties in the case. The old
legend of the two pictures, one of a
beautiful and innocent child, the other
of a debased and hardened criminal.
coined to his idols which the beau
tiful child became, is wildly suggested
by the eloquent word pictures of some
of the speakers illustrating the prog
ress of evil associations upon children.
The difficulty of reforming hardened
criminals STEPPED in vice, the hopeless
ness of melting their obdurate hearts
and changing the current of their lives
even by gifts of bouquets of flowers in
their prison cells, was recognized in
burning words, and was wildly COM
pared with what can be done for the
race by the wholesome training of the
young. 1t was recognized that a vast
step would be taken toward the millen-
iun, could there be one generation of
children, properly born and wisely

HOPE PRIMES ErERNAL.

That a vast stride has been made to-
ward better times" since Mckinley S
election is now apparent. There are
indications in the air that when the
sap begins to climb the trees there will
be some realization Of the hopes of the
nation as regards business improve
ment What would have occurred had
,ex-Candidate Bryan been elected to
guide national affairs is fearful to
contemplate. A yawning vortex of
trouble and financial chaos for the ma
ton was most fortunately avoided,
thanks to the patriotic men who voted
for national honor. A look around in
the business world discloses a feeling
Of security and of confidence. A look
ahead discloses returning prosperity,
not rapid, no abrupt change-but
steady improvement. All will not be
rosy even with the incoming congress
for there are yet silver senators, noisy
ones at that, to impede prosperity and
invoke the ghost of the old silver here
sy. There are still in congress men
of all parties who have personal axes
to grind as there always have been,
and there are problems grave and diff
cult to solve. But nevertheless, there
is hope ahead, and as to this big ma
TONS future, let us not be pessimistic.
There are schools and colleges, there
are seminaries and churches, there are
q thousand and one agencies for dis
seminating wholesome ideas and for
intoxicating a true patriotic spirit.
There is hope even that the vast aggre-
cation of new citizens of foreign birth
will in time become duly assimilated
and digested and sit easy on the stom-
ach of the body polite, as the fact that
thousands in the past of like Access
sions 'in our midst" have become val
liable citizens, tends to substantiate. A
multitude of agencies for the elevatina
