factorily explained even by the men
themselves. Oftentimes these things
do not happen" but are the result of
a natural and unconscious attraction
that has done it's work before those
concerned in the operation are fully
aware of it.
That a banker, associated with the
street from boyhood, a lawyer for
years in close touch with big corpora
tions, and a promoter of modest bust
ness enterprises with an inherited fond
ness for financial dealings, should en-
ter into such relations is not at all IL
logical. Other comparatively incon-
spicuous men have done the same thing
and made money and fame, although
not often in the same proportion. and
within the same short period, as these
three.
Charles H. Cole is The elder of the
trio. being SO years old. Since almost
boyhood he has been a familiar figure
in Boston's banking circles. He enter
ed the Globe National Bank when a
mere youth in the humble capacity Of
clerk, and gradually worked himself
up to president, to which Office he was
elected in 1897. Being so we'll known
to Boston financiers it was, therefore,
to him that the others looked for the
proper financing of the various deals
in which they were interested, and
through NEAR of which both MI. Cole
and the Globe Bank Ultimately came to
such unfortunate straits.
During the halcyon days Of the
Three Cs," Mr.. Cole was one of the
busiest men to be found in Boston. for
between the frequent directors meet
ings of the different companies and his
duties at the bank. rendered all the
more onerous through It's connection
with the enterprises mentioned below,
he oftentimes did in one day the work

liberty to disclose. but which, IL per-
fected. will work. independently of the
war office. to achieve n of the most
important British Objectives.
The Imperial Yeomanry, after the
first flush of public applause, is being
gagged gingerly. 1t is dawning on the
minds of all that what Great Britain
wants are crack shots and rough riders
after the type of the American cavalry
men, and frequent comments appear
pointing out that the average Woman,
who Is a farmer, does not come up to
this standard, while the average lord
ling, who adds brilliancy to the force,
is not, generally, much nearer the mark
in this respect than his yeoman tenant,
that both have
Far Less Military Training
than the members of the volunteer
force, and it is a fact that a large pre-
centage of the enrolled Imperial Yeo-
man have never served wen in the
Yeomanry. What is being forced upon
the war Office is that one hundred col
onials accustomed to bu5h-whacking,
cow-punching and scouting are worth
one thousand English clerks and farm
ers. To find instances of the appalling
impracticability distinguishing the for
nation of Great Britains irregular
corps it is only necessary to read the
list of the kit being taken out by the
City of London Volunteers. The off,
GERS of this body carry to the plains OF
South Africa an air-pillow, cork mat
tress, canvas basin, canvas bucket, a
tin box of candles, a lantern, a filter
and a host of other impediments that
an American officer would burn before
starting on a ten miles march, while
the men are laden down with four pair
of pants, four pair of shoes, three caps,
pajamas, two large Turkish towels. a
filter, a clothes brush a writing port
folio and other domestic articles. No
wonder the British forces are no mo-
bile.

1t was part of the plan to eventually

Not satisfied with making millions

Horseh .sh rs Food.

The use of horsetiesh as food is n
Mbject which has been brought into
prominence of late owing to the neces-
stiles to which the beleagured garrisons
In South Africa have been reduced. 1t
Is. therefore, a matter of general inter-
est that certain butchers in San Fran.

flesh of the horse as Il substitute for
beef in the manufacture of sausages

of more expensive meats. In many

animals are killed under proper sani-

ical Journal points Out that it is COM
paratively easy to detect the presence
of horsetiesh even in such small guam
titles as 5 per cent. The suspected
meat is boiled for about an hour in a
small quantity of water, which is after
ward reduced by evaporation, cooled;
and filtered. To this liquid n few
