A Bank Examiner from Nebraska.

A Washington dispatch says that

ger inflicted upon her. Comptroller
Dawes has appointed Geo. P. Cunning.
ham of Lincoln, Neb., national bank
examiner Of Kansas. He did it with
out consulting any of the Kansas del
egations and did it after promising
not to do so until he had consulted
them. Consequently Mr.. Curtis and
Senator Baker are mad clear through.
Mr.. Curtis learned of the controllers
action through a correspondent and
Immediately descended upon the
comptroller with a vocabulary that
was emphatic unmiStakable, and all
to the effect that there had been no
little bad faith on the part Of the
comptroller, who had promised to ap-
point a Kansas man, when the time
to 90 should come. Accordingly there
were at least a dozen names of Kansas
men tled for the Office.
Mr.. Dawes acknowledged that he
had acted alone in the appointment,
but that he had good excuse.
II have special work for Mr.. Gun
nlngham to PERFORM" he said to Mr..
Curtis, land | know no one who can
do it but he. 1t will take him about
nine months to complete what have
mapped out for him. He is coming
here for special instructions. After
he has completed his work, | promise
you that a Kansas man shall be ap-
pointed"
This weak statement did not in the
least appeaSe Mr.. Curtis wrath. He
told the comptroller that he could
find fifty bankers in Kansas of the
finest qualifications for the position
and he still insisted that it was an
outrage to import lawyer from Ne
braSka to examine national banks
in Kansas. 1t is said that there is a
little nepOtism mixed up in the ap-
pOintment, Mr.. Cunningham being a
brother Of the comptrOler's business
partner. Mr.. Curtis says he is glad to
get a man as near as Nebraska. The
other examiner is from New Jersey.

There is a young lady not far away who

she overheard the following conversation
among her pupils:
1t was Monday and one of them had evi-
IDENTIFY been much impressed with her Sun
day school lesson of the day before, for as
soon as another little girl came in, she as
founded her by the announcement: "You
are my sister"
I'm not" said No. 2.
You are" said No. !, haven't you got

Yes" grudgingly.
well, SO have l. Don't that make you my

No. was entirely nonplussed at that and
No. correspondingly victorious; 80 when
another little girl arrived upon the scene
she thought she would try the same thing on
her, too, and walking up before the new.
conner announced as before: "You are my
sister"
Now No. happened to be young lady Of
a very determined disposition and she de-
clared Just as firmly that she was nothing
of the sort, and the ''I'm nots" and "Yoo
ares" flew very fast for a minute, until No.
! brought out her knockdown argument:
Haven't. you got a Father in Heaven!'
and stood awaiting the answer with VIC
torious smile.
But imagine her chagrin and the teachers
amazement when the other sputtered forth:
mo, haven't, and you know it. I've Just
got one grandfather up there!" and strobe on
to her seat, leaving the enemy vanquished
behind her.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
