The Country banker.

In some quarters of the business world
there is a disposition to regard the coun-
try banker with a half-smothered sneer.
Many persons, especially those who know
very little about him. are inclined 10 re-
gard the country banker as a pompous.
opinionated individual, who would be
much better following a pillow or measur-
ing molasses and calico, than passing up
on coilaterals credits and discounts As
matter of fact, according to a well-in-
formed writer in the Bankers Monthly of
Chicago, the typical banker of the United
States Is the country banker. Usually, he
is a man who, by good business methods
and a close attention to affairs, has accu-
INFLATED several thousands of dollars from
his farm or his store, and has embarked
in The banking business. He may be nom
inally the president or the cashier of the
institution, but actually he is the whole
institution, He is in close and constant
touch with all of his clients, and with the
financial world generally, Having leis-
ure, he reads the very best literature
touching upon the business, and the news
papers ana the market reports of the day
In the city banks, the departments are
divided among several men; in the cotin-
try bank one man supervises every de-
partment, and is thoroughly familiar with
the whole business. He deals with every
client face to face, without having to wait
for The action of board. He is perfectly
well acquainted with the standing Of every
person who does business with the bank,
and knows in an instant the value or the

theoretically, according 10 the ideas Of
some persons the typical country banker
is not in The same class with the city

The leading lady was furious, says the
Cleveland Leader. The heavy villain pull

them to the floor. The juvenile took off
his Tuxedo coat and slammed it into a

With an air of indecision, says the chi
cago Tribune, the stranger who had drop

ed to the solemn-looking man sitting on
the stool next torhlm and SAID:
i beg your pardon. but 1 called for a

waiter girl has brought me a roast horse

tastes like horse. Would you mind Civ

Yes That's water, isn't it?"
It's artificial water. Didn't YOU notice

The auxiliary navy bill is designed to
provide a third arm Of the maritime de-
fenses. and furnish employment for the
unassigned portion of the naval militia.
ii IS proposed that the 100000 approprla-
ton which the bill carries shall be ex-
pended in 4the purchase of small craft, TO

Impossible for a hostile vessel to approach
these shores without ample warning being

powerful rapid-fre guns, would be very

At the begir ming Of the war it appeared
that the government officials were afraid
to deny the yellow journals any Informal
ton which they might desire. The re-
suit was a flood of bulletins and extras
filed with al sorts of sensational stories
as well as the news of all Of the move
ments of the American ships. Naturally
the genuine news found its way to the
Spanish AUTHORITIES who were able to
profit by it, while the food of bulletins ard
extras kept the people of this country in
perpetually agitated state of mind. Now
however, it seems that the authorities
have got little more starch into their
backbones, and have established censor
ships of the news at various points. Be
yond this there seems to De a sort of Off
cial fake factory at Washington from
which stories which are rather calculated
to mislead than inform are given to the
press. In this latter matter probably a
tip has been taken from our friend the
enemy" who has in a short time become
famous for spreading false reports. The cs-
Establishment of the censorship has had good
effect, in that the people are less agitated
by bulletins and extras, and are beginning
to value the sensation mongering newspa-
pere only at their real worth.
