Faith the Basis of Banking.

Faith is, after all, the basis Of bank
ing, and il there be no faith there can
be no banking. For that reason it is
possible for those who are skilled in
bookkeeping, but who are dishonest, to
carry on, sometimes for series of
months or even years, dishonest methods
by which even the most expert account
ants are deceived and can be deceived
as long as this dishonest man can have
access to the books.
The record of embarrassments or fail
ures has, in almost every instance, made
clear, upon examination, that dishon-
est methods of this kind were carried
on by those who had daily access to the
books, in one case for period covering
at least l5 years. In that case the dis
honest employee, knowing that his safe-
ty depended upon his ability to reach
the books, refused to take vacation.
If the officers of the bank are unable to
detect dishonesty of this kind-even il
they adopted the most approved and
scientific method of bookkeeping-it is
beyond reason to expect that national
bank examiner can do it.-Hon. Thomas
l.. Jones, President Of Lincoln National
Bank, New York, in North American
Review

tion the nice conduct Of the pazador's

the mouth, their ponchos wrapped
round their arms, their bodies bent SO
as to protect their vitals and their
Tnives quivering like snakes, stood in
the middle Of the room. The company
withdrew themselves into the smallest
space, stood on the tops of casks, and at
the door the faces of the women looked
in delight, while the pulpero, with a
pistol and bottle in his hands, closed
down his grating aud was ready for

Canadian wood, In winter.

The country of the Little Saguenay
is as rough as any part of the Rocky
mountains. 1t is the custom to dress
lightly for travelling, Notwithstanding
the 20 degrees below zero, and even
then one perspires very freely, making
it impossible to stop long for rest, on
account of the chill of the open pores.
Ice forms on eyebrow hair and mus
tache, while the sweat freezes in scales
on the back of ones neck The snow
falls from the trees on the voyager, and,
melting slightly from the heat Of the
body. forms cakes of ice. Shades Of
Nansen and all the arctic men i do
not understand why they are not all
pillars of ice unless it be that there are
no trees to dump snow on them.
The spruce and hemlock of these
parts all point upward as straight as
one could set lance, to resist the con-
slant fall Of snow. If one leaned ever
so little out of the perpendicular, it
could not survive the tremendous aver
age Of 90 feet of snowfall each winter.
Their branches, too, do not grow long,
else they would snap under the weight.
Every needle on the evergreens has its
little burden of white, and without in.
PERMISSION the snow comes sitting down
from the sky through the hush Of the
winter.
When we stopped apd the creak Of
the snowshoes was STILL we could al
most hear our hearts beat We could
certainly hear the cracking of the to-
bacco burning in our pipes 1t had q
soothing, an almost seductive, influence,
that muffle of snow. So solemn is it, so
little you feel yourself, that it is con-
seriousness which brings unconscious
ness, and the calm white forest Is al
most deadening in its beauty. The win
ter forest means death.-Frederio Rem

Chappell Hill. Texas May 1.-THE resig-
nation OF Hon. w. Z, Maynard as dlstric,

a stir in political circles, and me friends
OF the several asplrants for the position

district is composed Of the counties OF
Washington, Lee, Burleson and Dastrop,
and so far as heard from there are already
three candidates In the field aspiring for
the office. Hon. ], P. Buchanan, at pres
ent filling the office OF county attorney
for Washington county; Hon. Ben S. Rog-
ers, prominent lawyer OF BRENNAN and
now representing this county IN the State
legislature now In session in Austin, and
Hon. Alexander of BastTop.
Yesterday a petition to Governor Sayers
in the interest Of Mr.. Buchanan was being
circulated here and largely signed. Mr..
Buchanan is exceedingly popular, not only
here, but In the entire county, and every
man to whom the petition was presented
readily signed It.
Several parties who occupy prominent
positions in political circles and person
ally known TO Governor Savers wired him
yesterday urging the appointment of Mr..
Buchanan, and last night delegation OF
citizens went to Austin to see the gov

CURED in California In the enactment by
the legislature of n new statute providing
for the government OF San Francisco. The
Now Orleans Times Democrat recently
summarized the striking points in this new
charter of our great Pacific coast metrop-
oils. 1t appears that the city council is
abolished and its place is taken by board
OF fifteen supervisors, elected by the city
at large. The mayor can veto any act OF
this board and the veto can only be over
ridden by a vote OF fourteen Of the fifteen
lation on any subject, within the scope
OF the charter. can secure II by obtaining
the signatures of is per cent OF the voters
who voted at the previous election. The
proposition must then be submitted to all
the voters. No franchise can be sold, nor
until the proposition Is ratified by popular
vote II streets are to be torn up by in
dividuals or companies an estimate OF the
cost Of replacing them in perfect condition
must be made by the city engineer and
that amount OF money paid into the city
treasury before the work can proceed. Tho
city then does the work OF restoration.
The Times Democrat is authority for the
statement that there are many other un-
usual provisions in this unusual charter.
1t will be seen that the main idea here ia
TO center authority In officials elected at
large. and get rid of ward politics. The
effort is made also to eserve to the people
the rights so often violated by corrupt
councils
All these discussions latterly OF such
questions and the adoption or proposal Of
such variety of amendments to municipal
charters. indicate growing popular reeos-
milton of the fact that city government In
the United states demands large improve
ment or reforms, and that the problem
is rapidly assuming an Importance which
1t never had before in popular estimation.
Pure, efficient and progressive city gov
err meni Is one OF the business and pollt-
ical necessities of the times with the
American people, and 1t is gratifying to
discover that so many communities are
beginning to agitate the matter.
