BANK BOOKKEEPING.
Perfect System Never Has and May
Never 30 Developed.

A Perfect System Never Has and May
Never DO Developed.
The cashier Of prominent up town
bank says that such thing as perfect
system of bookkeeping has never been
devised and probably never will be.
"When you think of it. % he said, book
keeping is simply question of mental
ingenuity. What one brain can devise
in the way of safeguards another brain
can usually undo speaking in a general
way. The daily papers in condemning
the banks because OF the moderate sal
aries paid to bookkeepers overlook
very important fact. The banks pay the
market rates to expert bookkeepers,
which are anywhere from 81, 500 to 3d.
200 year. An almost unlimited num-
bor of men can DO obtained ut these
figures, and paying moro money would
not make the banks bit safer, for the
simple reason that men of strong mental
powers, great business capacity and nm
swerving integrity are not, rs q rule,
content to be mechanical bookkeepers
in largo institutions. L do not, of course,
mean to disparage bookkeepers i'll any
way.
1.-THE point is that the men who mako
good bookkeepers are unimaginative. re-
liable and steady going persons, who
are not influenced by great ambition,
and who do not aspire to lofty places. 1t
is not required of boolSkeeper that he
shall have very high mental qualifca-
tions as bookkeeping is now conducted
in our big institutions Each man has
stipulated amount of work of o stereo-
typed nature to do. He has of course
enough ingenuity to swindle, if he
chooses to do SO. Anybody who believes
that q perfect system of bookkeeping
can be devised must also believe that it
would DO impossible to counterfeit
money. The Bank of England has been
held up as marvel for many years, and
yet it is no secret that that institution
was swindled in tho most complete
manner for many years before it was
found out. Tho most important and con-
sentative commercial agencies and finan-
cial institutions i'll this city and London
have lost money through their en-
ployees, and the Credit Lyonnaise, il
France. where bookkeeping is said to
have been carried to the very highest
point of safety, was completely upset by
number of clerks two years ago, who
had no difficulty whatever in hoodwink-
ing the experts and pocketing the banks
money. New York Sun.

popular in combination. A pepper and
salt fabric made of black mohair and
white spun silk has attracted much alton
ton. Tho weave is very loose and SOFT
but the threads are closely interlooked,
making n durable fabric.
Besides cloth and similar wool goods
employed for tailor made gowns there is
an astonishing variety of materials, almost
all approaching the mohair typo. Tho
colors arc wonderfully soft and beautiful
and have tho added charm of brillianoy
That mohnir always possesses. Changeable
effects aro Of course seen In oil combina
tions of tone. Tho summer pnssomonteries,
spangled md other embroidery and lace,
form charming trimmings for these lovely
fabrics. Fine, thin broche silks In delicate

A Young Man Dies Suddenly.

Mr.. D. Webb Flowers, son of
Mr.. Calvin Flowers, who lives three
miles southeast of town, was
found dead in his bed Friday
morning. He was in his usual
health Thursday and spent a por-
ton of the day on the river fishing.
At supper he ate with his usual
heartiness and went to bed without
complaining. A younger brother,
Ira, slept with HIM and noted moth
ing peculiar during the night. Ira
got up about 5 o'clock Friday and
went out to feed the stock. As he
was leaving the room Webb turned
over and spoke but his words were
not understood. At breakfast. the
young man was still in his room
and his mother went to call him,
Mrs. Flowers entered the room
and found him dead. His body
was still warm and, hoping that
it was possible to resuscitate him,
Ia messenger was dispatched here
] for Dr. H. T. Pope, who promptly
responded. He found that the
spark Of life had been extinguished
and that nothing could be done
The cause of death is supposed t.
have been heart disease. The de
ceased was about twenty-seve1
years old and was a young man o
splendid character. He was vel
known and much esteemed here
