The cashier Of thriving bank in a
big western town was doing the talk
ing.
When l began my career in the
banking business" he said. ''it was
IN an old established bank in au Ohio
city to which my father had been
elected president. We didn't live in
the town until his election and moved
there when he took charge. After
about six months experience / was
made assistant receiving teller. and
between that and my youth, and the
fact that my father was president, l
guess | was about four sizes too large
Tor the earth. But got over it, and
one day when there was lull aud the
receiving teller had gone across the
street to look after check that he had
taken / popped mp to the window and
took my first lesson. rongh-look-
ing old fellow came in THAT | thought
was farmer from Haytille. He came
straight for me, and said that he
wanted to deposit some money. 1t
wasn't my business to undertake a
new customer, but l thoaght 1 knew
it all, and began to talk to him. He
said he wanted to deposit a cent that
day, but had more. Well, gave him
the ha ha then and there, and to d him
to run around to the Dime Savings
Bank and become depositor on the
installment plan. | also said some
more funny things, and after | had
had all the fun there was he said that
while he wished to deposit only a cent
that day, he would put in two cents
next day. and four next, and so on for
four weeks. gave him the laugh
aga and told him we really couldn't
do a small business like that, aud he
must be a good boy aud run along to
the penny ante bank around the cor
ner Then he went away aud was
still laughing when the recsi in teller
came bach.
II tolI him what was making me
smile and he looked at me kind Of
funny, l thought, and went to figur-
ing on sheet Of paper without
further comment. Presently he
handed the paper over to me. That
old fellow, he said, is a millionaire,
whose business we have been after
for year. Those figures viii show
you that what yon consider is penny
ante bank business would have
amounted to something over s21c, 900
in four weeks or twenty-four banking
days, during which he wished to de-
post his money. He's crank. but
he's got the cash, all the same, and
we want him. Just what elect your
able funny business has had npon
him ! can't say, but suppose you go
aud talk to your father about it, or do
yon want me to report it to the
cashier and let him see the presidents?
81 had cold chills and collapse and
lot more things during the next five
minutes, aud then l mustered up
courage and went to my father with
the story. He promptly reduced me
to the ranks and cut my salary 10 per
cent, and learned whole lot in the
next six months. by which time we had
the old fellow all right, and / was
made assistant again, but wasn't the
same kind of one by good deal,

ENGLISH AkB1R1sH.
Why These Two Races Have Never
DSSn Able to Understand
Each Other.

That the English and the Irish, iv-
ing under the same physical conditions,
should have the most opposite charac-
teristics OF any two people in the world
is one of the mysteries The physical
conditions Of the two races are almost
Identical. Ireland, like England, being
insular, with a surface marked by mod
crate irregularities and possessing a
moist and equable climate, the chief
differences being that Ireland is rather
more mountainous than England and
it's climate being little milder and
wetter. Yet the two peoples are sharp
ly contrasted in temperament and char
acter. The Irish are as impulsive, mer-
curial, humorous and unmethodical as
the English are stolid, orderly and prac-
teal. In war the Irish are most sue
cessful in attack, the English in de-
Tense. The Irishman enters into matri-
mony with his heart only the English
man calculates the cost of marriage be-
fore making a proposal. Irish liter
ature is more witty, more tender, more
glowing than English, but is less solid
and enduring. The contrast of charac-
ter is most strikingly demonstrated by
the fact that the two nations, during
an intercourse of more than seven CEN
turtles, have never been able to thor
oughly understand each other, and,
apart from artificial difficulties manu-
featured by INSCRIPTIONS agitators, the
real differences between the two coun-
tries have been entirely due to mutual
misunderstanding of each others char
acteristics.

GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNIT
ED STATES.

Great Britain and the United
States have an understanding where
by
The former will secure all her sup
plies from this country, and the Unit
ed States will refuse
To participate in an offer of media
ton, or
In an interrogation as to Great
Britain's ultimate intentions in South
Africa, or
In any subsequent joint action Of
the powers, and will agree
To preserve the status quo in Sa-
moa;
To preserve the integrity of the
Shanghai concessions, and
To prevent aggression in any d.
rection or quarters where the United
States has material interests at stake.
That Great Britain has an under
standing with the United States is
obvious. 1t is similar to the under
standing between the two countries
prior to and during the Spanish war;
Great Britain at that time foresaw
the future, knowing her own inten.
items, and realized that her only pos
sible aid would come from the United
States.
The State Department is evidently
preparing for some official develop
ment along this line, for it permitted
it to become known that the powers
prior to the Spanish war were pre-
parmg an identical note Of interroga-
ton as to our ultimate intentions in
the war.-Watchman.

. TrIala Of the Horse.

The show horse of to-day needs to be
possessed of a thoroughly strong con-
stitution in order to stand the strain
which is imposed on him, says the Lon
don Live Stock Journal. Hurry and bus
tie are characteristic Of the age, and
both men and horses have to be away
from their homes for weeks together,
frequently spending their days in one
show yard and their nights travelling to
another. 1t is possible for them to get
so used to the life that they suffer no ill
consequences, but it is not surprisingly
they do occasionally lose bloom under
such conditions. The infrequency of
real breakdowns proves that the high
class horse stock, taken altogether, are
remarkably robust and healthy, or
many more entries would be absent
from their places through colds, chills
and other ailments, which are apt to be
contracted during sudden changes of
temperature.

HONOR DUE TO CANADA.
The First Vessel to Cross the Ocean
by Steam Power Sailed
from Quebec.

An interesting but little known bit of
history in connection with early steam
navigation on the ocean was brought
to public attention in the recent address
of the venerable Kivas Tully. on his
election to the presidency of the re-
Gently organized Engineers club of To-
ronto, says the Engineering News. a..
This was to the effect that to the
province of Quebec belongs the credit
of having built the first steamship that
crossed the Atlantic from either side
The steamship was called the Royal
William, commanded by Capt. McDou-
gall, and sailed from Quebec on August
S, 1888, arriving at Gravesend on Sep
TENDER IL, having steamed the whole
distance.
: This seems at first sight to contradict
the we'll known claims to priority made
for the Savannah as the first steamship
to cross the Atlantic. The Savannah,
however, on her memorable voyage
from Savannah to Liverpool (May 26,
1910, to June 90, 1919 used her engines
during 10 days and progressed under
sail the remainder of the time, the pad
dlewheels being hoisted on board when
not in use.
The Royal William, therefore, ap-
pears to have been the first vessel to
make the vayoge using steam for the
whole distance.
