when working at the big bridge

long plank connected the two arms,
having about two and half feet of

Raising my eyes, saw man step on
the end of that plank, stop a minute
and look down into the whirlpool be-
low. l knew he was going to cross
and shouted to him, but he was too
high up to hear. Deliberately he
walked out until he reached the mid
die of the plank. It sagged far down

stopped, grasped both edges Of the
plank with his hands and throwing his
feet up, stood on his head, kicking
his legs in the air, cracking his heels
together and yelling to the terrified
onlookers. This he did for about q
minute-it seemed to me like 40.
Then he let his feet drop down, stood
up, waved his hat, and gtrotted along

Money Lenders In Europe.

The continental monts de piete
had their origin in the Italian mon
ii di pieta, large numbers of which
we're founded in Italy throughout
the sixteenth century and the OBJ
jects of which were in the first in
stance essentially charitable, the
avowed purpose of the institution
being to counteract the Injurious
effect Of usury by lending money
on deposits at an almost infnites-
imal rate of interest. The Francis
can monks were the first to lend
money on goods, and in 1915 they
we're allowed by the pope to receive
moderate amount Of interest. But
in process of time the italian monti
di pieta became extensive banking
corporations, which were OCCASION
ally plundered or half ruined BY
forced loans exacted by tyrannical
princes and sometimes brought to
entire collapse by injudicious fnan-
cial speculations. London Tele-

A Babe Born Old.

Strange, indeed, are the facts con.
neoted with the short life Of the in
fant child Of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Feoh-
ner. OF Houston. Tho child at birth
showed extraordinary traits. It never
cried, and exhibited an observation
and mental understanding and devel-
opmens that was almost terrifying in
babe. At four months this prodigy
OF intellect could talk plainly and
make its wants fully known. But its
little frame began wasting away. The

their Tceds gravely, and said to the
parents: tss1
