The ground on which it stands was
presented to the university some years
ago for the purpose for which it is now
used, by the late Reese Wall Flower,
from whom the observatory derives
Its name. The original intentions of
the donor were not carried out, how
ever, until two years ago when the
opresident director, Prof. Charles S.
Doolittle, then professor of mathemat-
les and astronomy at Lehigh univers-
lty, was called to the similar chair at
Philadelphia. Under his direction has
been added to the possession of the
University of Pennsylvania one of the
finest and best equipped institutions
for astronomical research in existence.
First and foremost in this equip
ment is the big equatorial telescope,
with its eighteen-inch lens, mounted
on separate dome-capped building of
its own. All of these instruments are
from the makers of the big Lick and
Yerkes telescopes, and in this, their

Among the maxims of the late Bar

have the first hit you have no
right to spoil another mans game, as
long as he plays it cleverly; he will
expose himself soon enough when he
ceases to be clever at It," Never play
the game above the peoples heads, but
as they think they understand it; you
have a bit in hand every time them"

tain, and bring it down before the pub

There are now 70, 600 head wendino

that county. They are in charge of
30 men, in % bands, and are at this
time south of Fish Creek. PASSING

THE CREDIT MAN"
An Important Person in the Com.
nercial World.
hia Duties Are to Protect Large Con.
Germs from Imposition ON the
Part of Unknown Gus
toners.

The functions of credit man are MOI
generally known to the public, but he is
IN many respects the most important
person employed by a mercantile con-
eern. Briefly, he is supposed TO be in.
formed concerning the commercial
standing of every firm or individual
with whom his own house has any deal.
lhgs. lie is kind of walking Brad
Streets and the firm for which he
WORKS mas the exclusive benefit OF his
Investigations, his knowledge and his
experience. 1t does not trust TO hin,
alone, OF course, because in the cnse of
large house there would be rather
more than he could attend to. The reou-
lar mercantile agencies are depended
upon Tor certain amount of informo-
ton, usually that which concerns the
oldest and richest corporations, about
whose solyency there is commonly no
question The credit man may, however.
IL ms employers suspect n necessity for
1t, be called upon to probe still further
than the regular agencies go, in order to
make assurance doubly sure.
When a would-be buyer from some re-
mote part of the country presents him
sell to firm to which he is entirely I'M
known, he Is introduced at once to the
credit man. The latter receives what
ever credentials the stranger has 10
| offer, and if he is satisfied that the
mouse Will run no risk in selling TO him
ne states the fact, and his Judgment is
accepted. Various considerations de-
termine the amount of security which
new customer is required to show.
and not Infrequently it is stipulated
that he shall have real estate backing
which is known to be responsible. The
credit man also figures out at once the
largest amount of credit which can he
granted TO the new buyer, this being de-
termined according to the figure at
which he is rated.
Subsequently,, as he runs up bills for
goods, they all pass under the credit
mans watchful eye, and if it is found
that the customer is close upon his
credit limit the last purchase is often
held until 1t is proved to certainty that
its delivery will entail no loss to the
~ ~ ljiOCcSS Ol Keeping track OF
every buyers limit imposes a never
ending task upon the credit man, and
it is one which requires delicate hand
ling, too. While great caution is nee
essary, there must be as few needless
suspicious as possible, for these are
often the means of driving away per-
fectly trustworthy customers, who feel
themselves insulted by the reflection
upon their financial methods.
In cases where there is good ground
for believing that q customer will bear
watching the credit mans inyestiga-
tons are very thorough. He inquiries
as to the private affairs of the buyer in
question; finds out as nearly as posi-
bic the amount of his income, and how
his money is invested. and keeps an
eye as well upon the way in which he
lives and spends. With every precau-
zion, however, there are many losses,
and it is the business Of the annual con-
vention of credit men to discover bet
ter ways each year of protecting mer-
camille interests.-N. Y. Tribune.
