THE BANKING MEN.

The men whose business it Is, in the
States to handle money, as bankers
and dealers in exchange are beginning
to find ii mutually instructive to meet
in conference. The history of money
or currency, during the last hundred
years shows the indisposition of the
bankers to consult each other. As the
bank presidents were usually selected
from rich dry goods merchants, or
wealthy real estate dealers, without
any experience in, or knowledge of,
banking, it followed that conventions
of bankers were occupied in swapping
ignorance" The few intelligent men
who had by hard study, acquired some
knowledge Of the laws of finance were
coldly received as theorists by the
practical man who managed the bank
of which he happened to be president
on the same principles that guided him
in operating livery stable business,
The recent convention of banking
men, known as the Monetary Con-
ference, held this year at Omaha,
shows that a new class of men, educat-
ed and experienced, are gradually as
Stunning the control of the private fin
ancial interests of the nation. Theo-
rists OF all kinds were present at the
meetings. The silver men. the paper
money men, the gold men were pa
tiently listened to. The general senti-
ment Of the members was that ac-
complished facts should be considered
rather than theories. The silver men
were asked some puzzling questions.
Mr.. Horace White told them that If
they looked at the bank statements,
they would find that at the time he
was speaking, the banks of New York
and Boston had three dollars of gold
to one of paper in their vaults. The
west and south after, all preferred to
convenient. But then the gold was
lying in the vaults. The banks did
not want 1t. Business men did not
want it, In fact nobody wanted IL.
The trade of the country was excellent
and healthy. II there was not enough
gold to do the hourishing business Of
the country, why did not some one
say so, and tell the banks where to
send the gold?
OF course the existence of facts of
this kind does more to kill wild theo-
ries of money and finance, than the
opinions OF cloud of witnesses.
At this convention, the paper read
by Louis II. Enrich of Colorado, at
tracted much attention. He stated that
the controversy over the silver stand
ard was largely due TO political bust
ness, and not to convictions on econo-
mic subjects. EXU. S. Senator Carey
OF wyoming made the statement that
the displacement Of silver and the SUI
premacy of gold was due entirely to
the operations OF economic laws, and
not to legislation.
The union of the banking men OF
America on a broad and sufficient poll
cy in matters OF finance, will be OF in
estimable value, especially in the treat
ment OF those yirulent financial di-
seases, known as panics.

MODERN GUNNERY AT SEA.
After All There Appears to Be a Grea
Deal of Luck About 1t.

After All There Appears to be a Great
Deal of Luck About 1t.
The degree of accuracy attainable in
modern naval gunnery in actual war
fare is something yet to be determined.
With the exception of the battle of the
Yalu during the China-Japanese war
there has been no opportunity for find
ing out what might be accomplished at
long range by a modern gun, mounted
on so unstable a platform as the deck
of rolling vessel, and the value of the
Yalu fight as an object lesson i'll this
respect was impaired by the relatively
unskilled character of the gunners
Certain it is that while death and de-
struction were meted out all around in
that encounter, an enormous amount OF
ammunition was used up in the work.
The bombardment of Alexandria by the
British fleet In the early sos afforded
since the vessels were at anchor in
practically smooth water, and their tar
get certainly was immovable enough,
end even there the expenditure of pow
der and shell was out of all proportion
to the damage inflicted. The point has
recently been made, however, that, af-
ter all, it is astonishing that a ship is
ever struck by projectile from gun,
and that there is probably more luck
than cunning in the art of modern
naval warfare. In a lecture at the
United States Naval War College at
Newport, Prof. Alger, a short time ago,
stated, for example, that at a conve-
nient fighting distance, say 1000 yards,
a modern battleship like the Indiana Of
the United States navy appears to be
the same size as picture Of her, eight
tenths Of an inch long, about fourteen
inches from the eyes, while the out
lines of the real ship will be much less
clear and distinct than those of the pic
ture. The height would of course, ap-
pear to be still less, so that the diff
Guilty of hitting such target, even with
the ship at rest and the gun in fort,
instead of both moving more or less
rapidly, can be appreciated at least TO
some extent. The element of luck truly
must enter largely into effective fire
under such conditions.

A Beautiful ThOught.

Michael Minot, a French preacher,
who died In Paris in 1913, was noted
for his eccentricities in the pulpit and
the rapidity with which he changed
from humor to pathos; from the com
monplace to the beautiful. There was
once pillories for swearers," he said, on
a certain occasion, "but if the law were
enforced now twO-thirds of the empire
would be in the STOCKS and there
would be the child of five years and
the dotard of eighty, who has only two
teeth remaining to fling out an OATH"
Changing suddenly to denounce those
who neglected the aged parents who
had cherished them in prosperity, he
said "See the trees flourish and recov-
er their leaves; it is their root that has
produced all; but when the branches
are loaded with flowers and fruits they
yield nothing to the root This is an
image of those children who prefer
their own amusement and to game
away their own fortunes than to give
to their old parents the care which
they want"

A Load of Ants.

When a vessel recently arrived in
Liverpool with a cargo of logwood
everybody on board, from captain down
to cook, rushed frantically ashore, as
though pursued y some unseen enemy.
AS a matter of fact, the vessel was lit
orally swarming with hordes of hungry
Jamaica ants.
The little pests had nv AIDED the lock-
ers and dived headlong into the sugar
barrels. After finishing the contents
of these, they proceeded to bore holes
through the supply of hard tack, and
ate everything before them, until it was
feared that the stock of provisions on
board would run short. There was a
cessation from leir a, ackS when the
vessel was caught in Il West India hur-
ricane. which flooded the cabin and
drenched everything below. 1t was
supposed that he intruders had all
been drowned, but after the storm had
passed away they began again with re-
newed energy.
The captain who commands the YES
sci stated that there are millions of he
insects still on board, and he thought
that the cargo muSt have come from
the vicinity of ant hills for which
Jamaica is oted. He stated that the
ants were in all parts OF the vessel, and
that in all his experience at sea he had
never before met with an attack likf
the newcomers waged against him.

a TEXAS HERMIT.

The Peculiar Life Led by Jacob Tom
1inson.
Old Jacob Tomlinson, the hermit of
Mission Valley, Texas, is looking for
wife. He has inserted the following in
several country newspapers:
"Wanted-To form the acquaintance
of young lady; object, matrimony. 1
am 7S years of age and will give the
young lady who meets my approval
$4,000 cash on our wedding day. She
must be a brunette, handsome and not
over 10 years of age. All applications

Address Jacob Tomlinson, San An
tonic, Texas
Tomlinson Is a peculiar character.
He has one of the most beautiful homes
in Mission Valley, a rich section of
country northwest Of San Antonio. He
made his first appearance In Missouri
Valley fifty years ago and settled upon
160 acres of land. He built comfort
able log cabin home and lived all alone.
He had a number of single-handed en-
counters with Indians, and the slaugh-
ter which he invariably made on those
occasions gave him a reputation for
bravery in that neighborhood. He has
continued to live the life Of recluse
ever since
He makes occasional visits to San
Antonio for his mail and supplies, but
this is the farthest he has been from
home since he began his hermit life. In

trapper and made considerable money
out Of the sale of furs and hides. When
the wild game became scarce he de-
voted himself to stock raising and agr1-
culture. He laid up money each year
and added to his landed possessions un-
til he now has a farm Of 5000 acres,
one-half Of which is under cultivation.
Several years ago he built a new
house. 1t is situated on hill in the
center Of his tract Of land and is unique
in construction and arrangement. 1t
is built with bamboo rods, intertw1ned
SO as to make many kinds Of pretty t1g-
ures. These rods are nailed to the
framework of the house. The roof is
thatched with reeds. 1t has seven
/ large rooms, all handsomely furnished.
The floors are of hard wood, stain. d
and covered with furs and rugs Of
great vale.
/ One of the rooms is used as library,
and is filled with several hundred vol
umes of choice books and the latest
magazines. "Uncle" Jacob Is a great
reader and spends much Of his time In
his library. He always has performed
all of his household duties, even cook
ing his own meals. There are few
! persons who ever crossed the threshold
/ Of his home. He keeps a number Of
men employed on his farm, but they
occupy houses at the farther end Of the
! large tract of land and are never per-
mitted to visit their employers home.

secret Of his early life. 1t is believed
that he came from the New England

When a millionaire dies in these lat
| ter days people who hear what the
amount of his fortune is are apt to say
| that conditions are changing and that
such things will not be possible fifty
| years from now. And yet it is safe to
say that in spite of changed conditions
and new methods in business and in
dustry, there will always be men bold,
self-reliant and aggressive, willing to
| take and give blows, who, when they
die, will rank as millionaires, just as
did the men who began their life ca
reer a generation ago. The estate of
the late George NJ. Pullman is esti-
mated at $25,000,000 and it is not so
long, as we measure time nowadays,
since he first began to accumulate that
wealth. The methods by which some
of it was gained may be criticised, and
yet they were the methods that almost
every man in whom there dwells a
spirit of restless activity would adopt.
The spirit of money-getting is not con-
fined to the business man, and al
though moralists may declaim against
developed enterprise and stimulated
industry, and welded the great body
of the people closer together in the
bonds of common interests. 9th
er fortunes have been left by men
in this country at the magnitude of
which the world has wondered. They
have been the slow accretions of gen.
erations. The founder of the family
made lucky investment, just as men
do to-day, and bought land with the
proceeds, and as a city was built up
real estate grew with it, and no burden
was attached to it's care, and after a
time it represented millions, and the
heirs drew a princely income without
having lifted hand in toll and with
out ever having set their nerves stir
ring in the fierce battle which so many
men have to fight. This class of for
tunes may not be heard of much in the
future, but the fortune that is made by
hard and unremitting work, by keen
| judgment and y the ability to take
advantage of existing conditions is still
a possibility And, after all, one can
not help admiring the man who takes
ventures and risks, and whom failure
cannot daunt, rather than the man who
has simply inherited the wealth with
which he dazzles the world.

Census Difficulties.

A census-paper may look like very
straightforward affair, but to fill 1t up
with literal accuracy is not always an
easy business. The London Academy
tells a story, said to be new, of the way
in which De Quincy met one OF these
census-paper difficulties.
The question as to his own occupa-
ton was answered by the statement
that he was q "writer to the maga-
zines" but when it came to the occu-
pations of his three daughters, his
troubles began again. At last he put
ring around the names and wrote,
'"They are like lilies of the field-they
toll not. neither do they spin.'
This difficulty, however, was not
as great as that which confronted an
innocent family in Northumberland,
England, during census-column,
Deaf and dumb or blind" was big
problem to the conscientious parents.
They concluded that the baby could
hear and see, but it certainly could not
speak, and they accordingly put it down
sDumb." But just tLen a powerful
scream from the infant made them re-
consider the question, and they ulti-
mately altered the entry to, Not
dumb, but can't speak.

ARTIFICIAL EYES.
Animals Are Now Easily Supplied
with Imitation Optics.

Animals Are Now Easily Supplied
with Imitation Optics.
Not man alone has artificial eyes
these days. 1t is the fashion now to
supply glass eyes to pet cats and dogs.
In the East the demand for artificial
eyes for dogs is brisk. 1t is largely
due to the fashion of making pets Of
bulldogs and bull terriers, which are
now so popular. At Newport, the 9th
er day, DR.. Rush J. Heidekoper put a
new eye in Mrs. Frederic Nelson's pet
brindle bull terrier. The dog had his
eye dislocated in a fight some months
ago, and as a result he lost the sight
of 1t. The animal seemed to realize
what was being done for him when the
doctor performed the operation, and
never WINGED.
Artificial eyes for dogs are to be
made to order, but any optican will
procure them in a weeks time. OF
course, they must fit the socket with
perfect accuracy, so as not to cause
any irritation, and the dogs for whom
they are manufactured are of so many
sizes and shapes that each eye is quite
different. AS all have to be made to
order, they are expensive, costing from
$40 to $15.
A dogs eye is usually much larger
than a human beings, but it is not to
be compared in point of size with the
horses. A glass eye for a horse is q
very big thing indeed. IL is as large
as a small tea saucer. Many valuable
horses are supplied with glass eyes,
for of all animals they seem most
prone to eye injuries.
All the artificial eyes for animals
used in this country are Of native man
ufacture. There is a big factory In
New York devoted entirely to the man
most of those used for dogs and horses
are made. Usually several eyes are
ordered at once, as in the case or a
person, because artificial eyes do not
last very long, new orb being neces-
sary about once in six months. This
seems bit strange at first glance, but
1t really Is not, for the acid Of the Sc
cretions affect the enamel and cause
q roughening of the edges, which
brings on irritation. Thus the demand
for eyes is constant
A sample of the sort Of eye required
by each horse or dog is kept in the fac
tory, so that at no time is there any
trouble in obtaining duplicates.-Chi
cago Chronicle.
