Caught.

A clergyman recently, addressing
those who criticise others while they
themselves are open to criticism, told
this story: "When Twas boy, we had
schoolmaster who had odd ways of
catching idle boys. Says he one day:
Boys, must have closer attention to
books. The first one Of you that sees an
other boy idle l want you to inform me
and will attend to the case. 'Ah,'
thought / to myself, there's Joe Sim
mons, that don t like. I'll watch him,
and if l see him look of his book I'll
tell on him.
cit was not long before I saw Joe
look off his book, and Immediately
Informed the master. Indeed, said he.
How did you know he was idle?' Il
saw him, was the reply. You did. And
were your eyes Oh your book when you
saw him? / was caught, but didn't
watch for the boys again"

GUARDING AGAINST FRAUD.

How London Bankers Lessen the
Chances For Endorsement.
every few people know that there are
9 great and increasing number of firms
in this country-banlking firms especial,
ly-who make an inaexible rule that
all employees, whether they be man
agerial heads or mere junior clerks,
must take an annual holiday"
The speaker was one of the best
<nown accountants in London, and he
continued: "The reason is that all great
employers now realize that most long
continued cases Of embezzIement and
breach OF trust are only, as rule dis
covered through the offender being COM
PEELED, through illness or some other
cause, to leave his books for time.
Nearly all defaulting bank managers
are trapped through their enforced abb
sence, and thus it has begun to be the
rule for employers to insist that serv.
ants who have the manipulation of
books and money must go away. Hun
dreds of sets Of books come into my
hands and those of other accountants in
this way, and I could tell you of many
cases where two or more clerks, who
could in their ordinary work play into
each others hands, are sent holiday
making at the same time.
another fact of the same kind that
is little known is that many employers
make rule of having their employees
photographed very plainly in groups
every year or two-on some occasion of
festivity that is made the excuse-so
that the firm always possess a valuable
means of Identification in case of any

Columbian Club Entertainment.

The ladies of the Columbian club
gave their annual public entertain
ment, in the presentation of the cold
Maids Convention at the Opera
House, Tuesday evening, to a Very
appreciative audience. These ladies
have won the honor and distinction of
possessing the rare ability and natural
accomplishments, necessary for the
successful presentation of such enter
tainments, in a manner that is most
pleasing and gratifying, and unexcell-
ed and unsurpassed by those of the
profession.
Every member of the "Spinster
Club was elegantly and artistically
attired in costume that was rich and
rare, but neat and tasty, though
foreign to the modern styles of today.
The "Old Maids" displayed much
wit and wisdom and provoked untold
mirth and merriment We cannot
give mention to each of the twenty
who took part, and no one is deserv-
ing of personal mention, as each and
every one was star in the perform
ance. The proceeds We're not as large
as anticipated owing to the numerous
festive occasions in state Of prepara-
ton for the holidays. The proceeds
were $4,000 and goes toward the sup
port and maintenance of the library
which is the pride, not only members
of the club, but of all our people.
The town owes much to this grand
organization of noble women who by
their patience and industry and earn
est toll, have been the benefactresses
of a public institution that stands as a
monument Of noble deeds worthy of
the laudable commentator and earn
est and sincere praise. Those noble
workers have contiding hope that
the public appreciates their every
effort, and when support is needed
all they have to do is to issue their
command and the public will respond
at once, most cheerfully. 1t is the
hope and trust that this feeling of
reciprocity, between the public and the
club will ever continue to exist, and
that from time to time we may be en-
tertained by those whose efforts the
public are ever ready to extol.

LEAD TRUST REACHING OUT.
National Company Buying Up Mines

National Company Buying Up Mines in
Missouri.
ST. Louis, Dec. 0.-Negotiations are
reported to be in progress for the con-
solidation Of all the lead companies in
Missouri, with the intention of organ
izing one mammoth corporation. AS
far as can be learned the promoters of
the deal are capitalists interested in the
National Lead company. controlling
nearly every white lead works in the
United States, about so in number.
The promoters hope to be able to bring
into the consolidation the St. Joseph
Lead company, one of the largest lead
and mining corporations in the world.
The National company short time ago
bought what is known as the Taylor
property in St. Francis county, and al.
ready has expended 100000 on it. Its
departure in this direction is considered
by lead experts to be the entering wedge
of the big deal in contemplation, as the
first overtures were made to mining
companies for the purchase Of their
property within few weeks after the
Taylor tract was bought in.
With the St. Joe and National com
panies as a nucleus, the capitalists be-
hind the deal expect to bring in big
corporations doing business in the Mis-
souri, lead fields. Senator Mark Hanna
and J. Wyman Jones are large holders
behind the St. Joe Lead company and
they are backed by John D. Rockefeller

canvass of territory, and the edition
will be cotton out on original lines
that connot fail to make it trade
winner. We appreciate the encour-
agement already received from the
biuness men of Bryan and wish all to
be represented.

THE LADRONES

Our new possessions, the
Ladrones, captured by the Char
lesion June 81, comprise group
of fifteen islands in the North
Pacific ocean directly east of the
Philippines. A broad channel
divides them into two groups, the
total area being about Az square
miles.
The northern group consists OF
ten and the southern Of five islands
of which Guahan is the largest con-
containing the onsy town in the
colony. San Ignacio de Agena and
a fortified harbor. The northern
group is mountainous, the southern
comparative!- level, and surround
ed by reefs. The total population
is roughly estimated at 5000 and
is composed of natives called
Chamorros They are a wretched
lot, and little or nothing, of course
has been done by the spaniards for
their improvement, though they
have held the islands over two cen.
turtles. Nearly all the islands are
well wooded and vegetation is lux
uriant The vegetable products are
area, cocoanut palms, rice maize,
sugar, tobacco, cotton, iadigor
