BANK CLERKS AT HOME.
Over $50 in First National Bank Of
Chicago Make Themselves COm-
Portable in Office.

The First national bank is the
largest banking institution in the
west, and as such much has been writ
ten about it, but little has been writ
ten about its internal workings. There
are over $50 clerks employed in the
bank, their desks occupying all of the
main floor and balconies that surround
the walls.
The bank was organized in 1868, and
has steadily grown to it's present pro-
portions. The present secretary of
the treasury, Mr.. Gage, was president
of the bank for years before he be-
came member of President McKiu-
ley's cabinet.
Some IS years ago the clerks of the
bank organized the First National
Bank Clerks Savings association, the
funds of the association going into the
Golfers of the bank, on which the bank
allows six per cent. per annum. Tie
association was organized with the
idea of enabling the clerks of the
bank to save money, at. rate of inter-
est that they could not get in any
other savings institution. During the
past year there was started by the
clerks pension system, whereby en-
ployes of the bank are pensioned after
20 years service, or earlier if inca
pacitated through accident or sick
ness. The pension fund is raised by a
small voluntary reduction being made
in the salaries of the employees each
month. The fund was materially in
creased recently by check for $780,
900 donated by the retiring president,
Mr.. Nickerson.
In order to make the clerks as COM
Portable as possible the bank daily
sets lunch for it's employees in the
basement of the building, the clerks
and officers of the bank occupying
the same tables.
This has been the custom for years,
and the officers of the bank find it inn

and saves their health in the winter

HOPE FOR NEW ENGLAND.
Her Cotton Industry Is Not Injured
by Southern COmpe titiOn-Spin-
dies of the World,

There has been much talk of recent
years of the growing manufacture of
the cotton in the south. and it has even
been intimated that the increase in the
number of spindles in the south was
menace to the industry in the north.
Undoubtedly there was apprehension
in Fall River or thereabouts six or
eight years, ago, and some capitalists
felt the cotton manufacturing prop
erty in New England was doomed.
Such, however, was the fear of the
timid and easily scared. The cotton in
dustry in New England is likely to keep
on growing and to remain prosperous
go long as the world demands such a
tremendous quantity of cotton cloth.
Manchester and the people of England
Gill feel the pinch OF southern compe
tition long before Fall River and Prov
idence. But unquestionably the south
is to be congratulated on the brave
start that has been made in what is in
that section new industry. There are
1O0,0Oo,O00 spindles in the world. Of
these 17,570,O00 are in the United States
and 100000 are in the southern states.
So we see that while in the country 171s
per cent. of the cotton cloth of the
world is woven, that in the southern
states 20 per cent. of this is made. This
is more than beginning. 1t is brave
achievement. But it is silly and timid
to have fears for New England. New
England is thousands of miles nearer
the cotton fields than old England, and
old England last year made As per cent.
of the cotton cloth of the world, and in
continental Europe 81 1-3 per cent. was
made. Those are the fields upon which
the southern industry will encroach, if
it must encroach on any. But it is like
ly that the increased consumption of
cotton cloth will always keep up with
the increase in the number Of spindles.
There is no fear in the world-that is,
no reasonable fear-that New England
will not be able to look after herself

WHEN MONROE WAS PRESIDENT.

Though fashion-plates were quite un.
known.
Was ever beauty like arrayed?
Entertainments spell has never flown
From dainty lace and rich brocade.
The danes, the maids, the gowns they
wore
Were taste and grace and beauty blent,
And hearts were warm unto the core
When James Monroe was president.
The beaux, rare gentlemen, forsooth,
Wore wigs combed up in powdered puff
From silver box pinch of snuff.
Sweet Courtesy held high command,
And men we're peers to all intent,
The mark Of rank an honest hand,
When James Monroe was president.
And tallow nodded round a wick
When burning seemed as diamonds
bright,
They scarce have traded candlestick
For twinkling incandescent light,
The danes, the maids, the gaHants all,
Who long have slept meath earthly tent,
The same whose presence graced the ball
VIZ When James Monroe was president.
All, long the years that intervene,
Yet, laugh, We scoffers, as We may,
Still Purity's acknowledged queen,
And Courtesy is king to-day
Hearts beat as warm to-day as then,
And charity's as kindly meant
AS twas 'mong those, Gods noblemen,
When James Monroe was president.

WHAT A FORMER AMERICAN
SAYS.
More Than Doubled Their
Stock,

The following letter written by Mr..
John Cummings of Wetaskiwin, AL
berta, Canada, formerly of Washing
ton, to friend in the United States is
only one of hundred similar cases,
and what was done by Mr.. Cummings
can more easily be done to-day by any
good, sober and industrious farmer who
chooses to make his home in the Do
minion.
Dear Sir:
You want to know how I got along
since I came into Northern Alberta. I
am happy to inform you that am not
ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast of
Wetaskiwin; left Pennington, Wash
ington, on the goth of May, driving all
the way.
We had time to build our log house
the first fall and to make us comfort
able for the family and stock. We then
built four stables 1sx2O inside, so that
we could put everything inside them
when the cold got down to the fifties,
and worked hard getting up the stable
and got through clubbing on the LIST
December, but to our surprise we had
no use for the stables only for the milk
COW and two span of horses. The bal
ance of the horses lived on the prai-
RE all winter and took care of them
selves. The doors of two stables were
left open for them to 60 into in cold
time, but they would not do it. but
stayed out on the prairie the coolest
night we had, and looked as spry as
crickets.
I can go ten rods back of my house
and count ten residents. know all of
their circumstances. Every one Of
them have doubled their cultivated land
and doubled their animals, and great
deal more. All of us are comparative
ly out of debt and an unusually big
crop to thresh and prospects of fair
price, and I expect we are as well con-
tented lot of people as there are from
Florida to the Klondike.
My son bought two pounds of twine
to the acre, and when we started to bind
some barley, we found that instead Of
taking two pounds to the acre, it was
taking nearly five pounds. Then you
ought to have seen him hitch up team
and make for town for 100 lbs. more.
I cannot say how it will thresh. All I
can say is that it is well headed, and
takes an enormous amount of twine.

Queer Medical TEST Of Death.

A recent report of experiment at the
Academy of Medicine in Paris gives
astonishing testimony of the virtue ot
rhythmical twitching of the tongue as
a means of restoring life in cases of
drowning or asphyxiation. Within the
past few months there have been at
this hospital 40 such cases of resusc:.
tation by this one means. Some Of
the statements made by NJ. Laborde.
of the Academy of Medicine, in con.
nection with this report are of ex-
ceptional interest. In one case a
drowned man was resuscitated only
after three hours spent in uninter-
mittent twitching of his tongue.
Which is certainly a reminder TO
physicians that this remedy is one that
requires patience.-N. Y. Journal.

Dear Dorothy-1f you want to give a
whole lot of money away, suppose it's
none of my business, unless I'm selfish
enough to remember that the more of it you
part with the less there is to separate You
from me and rejoice in consequence.
I've made arrangements to have the du-
cats settled on the little French girl and
much good may they do her when she gets
the count for husband. He always seemed
a good deal of a cad to me, but as long as
you don't intend to marry him yourself, it
makes precious little difference to yours
truly whether he's an ass or an angel I'm

when l hope you'll not be so taken up
with the nobility as not to have welcome

Dorothy read this precious epistle all
through twice and was just beginning
to read it third time when rustic in
the doorway caused her to jump into
curtained recess to be alone with her
letter. 1t was the old countess, who
entered with her grandson.

The issue OF Golfers Weekly
for December 20 contains visual
evidence that photography is ready
to accomplish the impossible. 1t
is a dramatic scene in the House
of Representatives at the moment
when Bringham H. Roberts, the
repudiated Representative from
Utah, stands before the bar OF the
House to take the oath of office
and is requested by the Speaker
"to step aside until the rest of
the members have been sworn in. !"
This Photographic "snap-shot. ,
though an interior view, is of mar
velous clearness; every member Is
distinctly portrayed. The entire
House, members and officials, one
hundred and forty-eight people in
all, are numbered and listed so
that each member can be picked
Gus; and there is also d V lew OF
the visitors gallery in the rear,
packed with anti and pro-Mormon
spectators. The photograph is
not only of great interest in itself,
but is of historic value, Drawings
more or less imaginative have been
published of similar scenes, but
Golfers photographer certainly
has accomplished clever and au-
dacious feat. He has made a pho
tograph which is in effect a hun
dred and a half portraits of Re
presentatiyes Of the States of the
