Here is a sketch of Mr.. R., H. Da-

paigned with him in Cuba: "Mr. Davis
has for years been the butt Of those
caustic writers on the American press
whose income is based on their ability
to write disagreeable things about peo-
Pile Mr.. Davis, in all truth, is some
times not a very pleasant gentleman. In
conversation he is not brilliant; he is
apt, in fact, to be heavy and dun He
reserves all his shafts for his writing
at so much a shaft. He is tall broad
shouldered, the personlflcation Of rug
gedness, with an exceedingly fiorrid
face; his features, with exception of his
eyes, are strong and commanding. His
eyes are very deep set and not very
handsome. He looks well in frock
coat, which accentuates the breadth Of
his shoulders and makes him rather
impressive figure at afternoon gather
ings, where he is babbled over by ali
the women as if he had just stepped off
the Olympus for the express purpose of
beautifying the world. Mr.. Davis is
not altogether fond of this, although, If
it were especially distasteful to him he
would probably run from It, which he
does not. Therefore, he must bear the
charge of his enemy that he is conceit-
ed and over-fond of praise"

There are certain languages which,

written in, are to all intents and pur-
poses dead. For instance, Icclandic
is practically identical with the dead
Morse language, out of which the
Scandinavian tongues have grown. So,
too, provencal, the ancient language of
Provincial, and the speech in which the
Troubadours sang. has now sunk to the
level of patois, although a certain
French literary school is making eff
forts to revive it as literary language

The original pawnshop is difficult to
locate. Early historians were inter
ested in other lines, and only when the
royal crown was placed in pawn or
the king took steps to curb the Gu
pidity Of the hated money lender was
the subject of pawns and pledges
mentioned. Moreover, the history of
pawnbroking is so interviewer with
that of usury and banking that Its
complete separation from these sub
jects is, for time at least, an impossi-
bifity. From earliest times and with
all peoples the system of pledging eff
fccts as security for advances in money
has existed in some form. In this early
period all those who accepted pledges
rs security for loans were not pawn
brokers in the sense that we to-day use
the term. OF the antiquity of pawn
broking we are assured, but are with
out clew as to what might have been
its process of metamorphosis from the
time of the Jewish law to that of the
Roman. Its analogy to banking, the
fact that the pawnbrokers later be-
came bankers, would lead to the con
clusion that private pawnbrokers ex-
listed long before the state took cog
nizance of the business. 1t seems prob
able that the constant taking of ar
ticles in pledge, which of necessity de-
mandcd tHcir safekecping to secure
the repayment of the loan, suggested
the like deposit of money and valua-
bles. In this case the progcnitor of the
present banking system was original
